  Stupid things JWs say

  by deanxxx in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  ok we all say stupid things (probably on a daily basis in my case) but my mother (a jw) was told by another member that she doesn't have a conscience because anyone who smiles as much as she does simply can't have a conscience.

  i bet you can guess the person who said it to her has a face like a wet weekend.. i guess the reasoning is: if you had a conscience you wouldn't have much to smile about because you'd be overwhelmed with guilt and worry.

  what a load of old bollox that cult is eh?.

  How about when some brother on the platform asks "Would people be able to know your a witness without you telling them?" No, that's complete nonsense and has never happened. Like wearing Dockers and a Polo will automatically identify you. LOL

  They will of course cherry pick which accounts they want to focus on from the Old Testament. I don't think Elijah and the she bear account is going to make it in. LOL

  Yeah, can't really make something up as an excuse because everyone knows me and my circumstances. I guess it's either move or wait it out and endure the encouragement.

  Jesus The Perfect Reflection Of The Father?

  by JW_Rogue in

  2. beliefs

  so this week's wt study was all about jesus and the miracles he performed.

  according to the study this proves that god wants to heal mankind in the same way.

  because as we all know jesus is a perfect reflection of his heavenly father.

  UPDATE: I have now starting receiving friendly "encouragement" to get out in the service more often. One brother even letting me know that they "review those kind of things when the CO comes around". Have the bad feeling some will start asking too many questions.

  this is a youtube uploaded in 2009 that has a talk about the governing body given to jws.. "governing body".

  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwjm5d9m1lm&index=5&list=pl2vkk1cclbi8xcdxgygijzu9_w6nzx8mt.

  the speaker tells the jws that the gb takes such good responsible care of all of them.. the speaker also speaks of a personal experience with bro.

  "They understand what you are going through...."
  Hmm they work 40+ hours a week? They have bills to pay? Do they worry about medical costs?
  They are pampered and worshiped.

  No, but sometimes they stay past 5:00 pm sitting at a meeting and then go to another meeting afterward. The struggle is REAL.

  This guy is a good public speaker, he is very good at being a complete fake. Pulling those heart strings "the GB care about each one of you". I can imagine people getting all emotional listening to this nonsense.

  Is this for real? I mean I know they have a financial agreement with Roku and all but reading a special letter to promote a coupon code? Ridiculous. Maybe they aren't pushing as many units as they needed to fulfill the contract.

  so i got coerced into watching this crap last night.

  a few observations:.

  1) it personified the witness mantra that doing more for the org = happiness, doing not enough = misery.

  The whole movie is a scare tactic against marrying a "worldly" person. I know many JWs who aren't happy in their marriage. Why does the worldly guy have to be workaholic? Why is it such big deal that he misses meetings? Maybe, if the wife stopped nagging him and accepted that he doesn't believe in the "truth" they could be happy. Of course WT will never show that some people don't believe in the "truth", they have to make up some personality flaw that doesn't allow them to be JWs.

  Opsudei

  Then, Jerusalen was destroyed in 70 AD, and they invented that Jesus predicted it. But now, this destruction of the city was convenient to invent that his body disappeared when his disciples visited the tomb. Because all tombs were destroyed by the romans, no one could verify if that story was true or false. When this jewish sect was shunned by reorganized pharisees in the 80s and 90s, they invented that Jesus predicted that they would be expelled from the synagoges. Indeed, I believe that at every emerged problem, the Christian scribes decided to invent a prediction for this situation. ....In the beginning of the second century, some guys believed that the matter is evil, then some Christian scribes decided to invent the bodily resurrection, so as to ensure that he resurrected in flesh. Of course, the virginity of Mary and other stories were the product of gentile christians to make Jesus like the pagan gods.

  So you believe that the Gospels were written by more than one person and altered? Where did you get this info? I'd like to look into this.
