  Service meeting topic: Masturbation

  by perfect1 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  one of my strangest memories of going to the kh was when a young- maybe 18-20, pimply young man got up to talk about jhvhs view of masturbation during a service meeting.. of course, it was impossible to think about him not masturbating.

  i was just hitting puberty and found the whole thing very uncomfortable- i think my dad was even critiquing him (what is that called when elder gives the feedback).

  looking back now i can see that to publicly condemn masturbation, especially when a young man is delivering this admonition, is- well- hilarious.

  Glad to hear that its coming back. Thought that they were gonna be one and done. Jessica Lange was awesome! Brilliant is the only way to discribe her performance. Looking forward to the Walking Dead also! I like true blood too...I'm such a loser.

  Belly button questions? Stake or Cross? One[plural/compound] God or One [singular] God? Jesus bodily resurrecting or 'spirit' resurrecting? Jesus returning.....invisibly...to only WTS phonies? Jesus is Michael? The Holy Ghost is an 'active force' and nothing more? After centuries of Cesars persecuting Christians, one gets converted and stops killing Christians and he's an anti-Christ?

  It's a wonder that you people are still smart enough to breath on your own, let along actually read the bible..lol!

  meant respectfully and with love..and a little biting humor...

  Trinity Brochure

  by flamegrilled in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  has anybody heard an official reason that the trinity brochure is deceased?.

  the gb have been released basically new versions of old brochures with wild abandon, and yet the trinity brochure which has absolutely no equivalent is no longer in print.. why?.

  we all know there were dodgy references/quotations therein, but you would think by now the gb would have put some effort into a viable replacement if it were posssible.. nobody seems to be making too much of this as far as i can see.. the trinity brochure was very naughty.

  One example of dishonest journalism must be the referrences to the early church fathers. The SYBITT brochure states that

  all the church fathers agreed that Jesus was not God. Too bad for the WTS that the opposite of what they state is true with plenty of easily obtainable written evidence.

  What arrogance! The SYBITT brochure is looked upon much like the NWT. As a joke that only a cultist could defend.

  Tricker in WT publication !?!?

  Wow, that's an understatement! I'm still not over the out right lies in the "Should you beleive in the Trinity" booklet. Not trickery, but blatant lies.

  Trickery? If it were trickery we'd all have a laugh....it would be as if the WTS wasn't a cult...but we know better, right?

  Not me by the way, although I've been known as a boob man.

  True story from yours truly,

  I know Steven Hassan and have for over 15 years. We lived in the same neighborhood in greater boston and met during a beer and bbq that residents were having in the parking lot that we shared.

  He told me his story over beer and grilled tuna and I thought to myself 'jeesh, this guy's too much', from being brought up Jewish and then converted to the moonies and then being rescued and then had to be deprogrammed and etc, etc..

  The next few months after meeting him I'd see him in the parking lot and exchange pleasantries.

  Maybe it was a few months later that some nitwit in california had his small cult group kill themselves to catch the passing spacecraft taking them all to utopia. These poor people all wore nike sneakers for the trip. Later that night, who's on nightline, but Steve Hassan. As I was swilling a beer that streamed out of my nostrils "that's my neighbor Steve!" I shouted to my friends [had a bachelor pad at the time].

  I saw him again several months later with a newfound respect for his accomplishments and we spoke often. I asked about my brother and the JWs. He told me that it was a cult. I said that my brother was happy and that's what mattered. He simply refered me to his book [combating cult]. I asked how he knew and he rattled off several control techniques that high control groups use. Foolishly, I didn't read the book.

  Any way, it took years for me to realize how correct he was way back then. He gets alot of print here I see.

  Stevie! if you're out there, I hope you're well!

  Too bad about Brad D. Remember seeing Beatlejuice at JohnyDs?
