  it's not too late to get this request out there.

  please please, if you can muster the courage to be different, would you drink the wine and eat the bread tonight?

  then come back here and let us know how it went over.

  warped logic from the memorial talk

  by why144000 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  speaker said we should not partake because when jesus arrives he will take the remnat to heaven and the memorial will be no more.

  just as we will not partake then (because the memorial will not exist) it is only logical that we will not partake now.

  warped logic at its finest!.

  looking at this thread by winstonsmith, http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/beliefs/249671/1/notes-from-2013-memorial-talk-appreciate-what-christ-has-done-for-you.

  made me think, how is the memorial celebrated in different parts of the world?

  do they all fall on this year's march 26?

  Also talking about being pickey, I never got a good answer. If nisan 14 lasts until sundown the next day, then why stuff everyone in to one night, why not have a second meeting the next day before sundown? I got some bs argument about the meal being after sundown, but then I brought up the time zone difference and it was already light in Isreal, so aren't we already too late.

  Just one more question that gets met with a stone wall.

  Pixel, that is the point I never understood. They calculate the date by the moon as seen in jerusalem (?), that is the reason they are off a day most of the time. But if you are going to be that picky then you should do it when the sun sets in jerusalem, not in your time zone.

  Is God's Name Yahweh or Jehovah?

  http://www.catholic.com/quickquestions/is-gods-name-yahweh-or-jehovah.

  subject title refers to the link that i found in another thread, somewhat buried in text, but i thought it deserved to be highlighted.

  take the time to read it if you can and just sit and think about it for a second, think about all of the hate and disgust jw's have for the cc and just let that truth settle in.. amazing really.

  Worship at the meetings(TM)....REALLY??

  by punkofnice in

  there were times when i was a jw that i asked myself :.

  'what constitustes actual worship at the meetings?'.

  it got to a point where the only worship i could see was a sycophantic arse licking of the governing body.. i found nothing at the meetings(tm) were actually anything like worshipping god.. .

  Considering that JWs think having a poster of a sports star hanging in your room is idol worship,they don't know the definition of worship.
