anyone else get a food box delivered by local congregation to your door - allegedly by the society?
weird.
i looked online and found a couple of youtube channels saying the society is taking food from food banks and giving it only to their congregations.
Seriously??? I think it would be a nice gesture for the elderly or ill with limited income....but just because someone is a cult member in good standing doesn't mean they need or deserve a handout. Grocery stores never closed and food has not been unavailable in the pandemic...
Curious about fried chicken in NC MA.....though. Did it come hot and crisp? What vendor?
It has gone from ridiculous to ludicrous...... Not to mention just plain stupid. Call a spade a spade and get over it.
my elementary school teacher, miss allen, gathered us in a circle just outside the classroom under overspreading limbs of a pecan tree.
as she spoke, we all listened intently - the expression on her face seemed to say, "this is very important.".
"sometimes life doesn't go so well and we feel afraid.
Sweet story....but what if your stream is a raging river? Boulders and rapids?
11 more documents, a bunch of stuff!.
2020--sample accounts sheet—congregation bank version.
kingdom hall trust documents.
#15..."relevant circumstances"....so they retain determination of what serious incidents comprise....
what are the craziest books or magazines the tower ever printed?
i know of the millions now living is crazy the finished mystery.
.
The Climax revelation book probably takes the cake in recent history...but some of the early Russell/Rutherford stuff is hilariously looney. I remember Awake mags that had such ridiculous or obnoxious covers I refused to hawk them...and some of the articles were downright lame.
Agreed....and too much opinionizing on politics and controversial social topics..... I skip over 90% of the posts....I just find them annoying.
the point of the letter was how many are feeling disappointed these days.. no circuit assembly, convention, how we can't fellowship at the k.h.
disappointed we might have had a love one die, etc etc.
he then goes on to write about how disappointed jehovah must have felt when his first human creation rebelled.
Slimboy...omg...good laugh the Freddy prophecy anti typical type of type. But I thought the virus was that horseman riding whittling down the population by a third???
i don't remember disfellowshippings happening very often and announcements about being re instated but i think i remember that we used to clap hands if someone came back after being disfellowshipped.
but then i think clapping wasn't allowed.
am i correct in my recollections?.
Clap...don't clap. New light? Light switches on and off...on again, off again. They just can't figure out what they want on so many issues....
i’m not sure if this is in the right topic area or not, but sometimes i wonder:.
if it were not for “religion”, what would the current gb do for a living??.
my speculations:.
Politicians...the whole wheedling bunch.
growing up in the 70's and 80's in the jw religion who remembers the massive stadium gigs the watchtower used to hold?.
we used to denounce false religion in the starkest of terms.
we were right and by god we were letting anyone who listened know it.
The thrill of the roaring stadium crowd....that feeling of being special. God's chosen group. Waiting for the next snippet of new light....new books.... Feeling so blessed in that huge crowd of believers with the miserable old world outside. And you'd go home and be on a high for days...then gradually it would wear off and back to the grind. The whole scenario obviously enhanced the United Brotherhood feeling.... I have no.idea what it's like nowadays .... But from what I gather here it's lame beyond belief.
