  Divination in a congregation in the early 80's?

  by purrpurr in

  i was recently told by a jw relative about a congregation in the 80's i think in the uk but i'm not sure.

  this cong got involved with divination big time, like the whole cong pretty much.

  oujia boards the works and the branch had to go in there to clean up the cong, about half the cong were df'd and the whole elder body was taken down and replaced.. this is news to me, can anyone shed some light on this?.

  I heard the same story in the 80's but it was a congregation in Edmonton Alberta. I think fits just a jw urban legend.

  Are the Mormons and Jehovah's witnesses owned by the same corporation ? Way too many similarities to be coincidence.

  Why are witnesses all so highly stressed?

  witnesses are so anxious, stressed, highly strung..... so much for ones who are supposed to be "the happiest people"..... thoughts?.

  They can't truly be themselves. They can't speak freely with fellow Jws in fear of being reprimanded.

  Lennon and McCartney could so easily have been writing for the Watchtower...

  in fact just like the watchtower, i've no idea what they were writing about half the time.

  all that rubbish about " i am the walrus" and eleanor rigby keeping her teeth in a jam jar or something, and what "lucy the in the sky with diamonds" means i do not know!

  anyway, i mention the above because shortly after i quit meetings, beattle loving brother, ian x also, stopped attending meetings, and i watched him transform himself in to a, scruffy bearded, hippyish, beer drinking slob, ( translation a great guy) .

  I think Eleanor rigby was Paul's song and I am the walrus was johns. At that point in thief career they were pretty much writing indepandant of each other but the songs we're still credited to both writers.

  If Prince had an addiction to prescriptions drugs, it's a personal matter but if I want to grow a beard or attend college, it's not.

  interesting article i found about prince and the jw religion.

  i guess they are trying to get their 15 minutes of fame.

  i find it disturbing that the elder stated if prince had an addiction to prescription drugs, that is a personal matter but the hundreds of intrusive jw rules like going to college (not scriptural) and growing a beard (also not scriptural) are not also considered a personal choice.

  I went to the assembly last weekend I noticed a lot of people there that I hadn't seen in a while. Fence sitters. Our crappy economy is bringing people back to the fold.
