  Street Witnessing - did you ever do it?

  by Muddy Waters in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i remember in our congregation, there were a few older pioneer sisters who would start counting their time early - even before the service arrangement - by standing at a street corner and holding the magazines up in front of them and hoping that any passersby might stop to take one on their way to work or whatever.

  as a fresh, new dub, i had heard about this "street-witnessing" work, but there was only one time i ever actually saw one of these older sisters doing this.

  and even then i was shocked and embarrassed for her.... because this poor old sister was standing there, all by herself, holding up the watchtower & awake magazines, yet looking as sad and depressed as she could possibly ever look, her whole mouth was turned down just totally sad as she stood there, observing all the "dead" people walking around, hurrying to catch buses, get kids to school, get to work, etc.

  I saw something like this in the simplified last year. There was an article in the study edition about reaching out to be an elder or ministerial servant that did not appear in the simplified. I guess they don't want simple minded people to reach out.

  so, i am reposting this video from wifibandit's thread since it is a bit off topic.

  i watched this video and i have to say that this guy really creeps me out.

  his slow and methodical gestures coupled with with his over-annuciation of every word makes him appear absolutely crazy!.

  I see him as a fake. Narcissists, sociopaths have no feeling of true emotion. You can tell by looking for a delay in facial expression when emotions are involved.

  I see this in Lett. He is void of any true emotion. His facial expressions of emotion are all made up. He doesn't really feel the emotions.

  Fornicate and keep quiet, is it possible for a Governing Body member?

  by John Aquila in

  do you think any of the members of the governing body have at one time in their lives committed an immoral sex act but never confessed?

  remember leo greenlees.

  fornication, adultery or something else?

  They could confess to the other members of the gb and keep their position too. They have evidence of jehovahs backing.

  they just posted the simplified august study watchtower on jw.org.. paragraph 11 of the "expectation!

  " article says this:.

  "so even if we feel that we have been waiting a long time, this does not mean that the end is far away or that it is not coming in our lifetime.".

  i was thinking about green handshakes, and i knew my wife and i personally would try to slide at least $100 each c.o visit to the c.o.

  if we were low on cash, we'd never hand him less than $20.

  how many of such handshakes does he receive in a weeks time?

  They could never entertain the thought that someone would leave because they found out it is not true. They have to make up stories to keep their fairy tale religion alive.

  I heard a good one last week. An elder asked me if my wife and I were separated because he never sees us together.

  What is true love?

  by hoser in

  i just watched the video what is true love.

  first of all it is painfully long.

  secondly there is an uncanny resemblance with megan(the one who married out of the truth) to the girl in the jeremiah book who married out of the truth.

  I feel for guys that marry someone who needs a prominent man. It is almost impossible to keep a woman like that happy.

  I am amazed at the social pressure to conform that is evident in this movie. I thought it was just a local thing but I see now that parents and busybodies al though out this religion like to meddle in other peoples lives.

  The girl Megan feels pressured by the congregation to have a spiritual man so in turn she nags her hardworking husband to "reach out" for baptism. I've personally witnessed marriages ruined by this kind of abuse.

  The good jw girl still living at home at 25 finds her nerdy jw elder at a jw function and lives happily ever after.

  How much sediment would have been moved in Noah's flood?

  by Zoos in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i flew over this crate yesterday on my return home from las vegas.. .

  they say this crater was created by an asteroid about 50,000 years ago.

  then about 6000 years ago, presumably, god wiped out all life on earth with a global flood.. how much sediment would have been moved around during that flood.

  Good question. I came up with 3 possibilities.

  1. The crater isn't as old as they say it is.

  2. The global flood isnt as recent as creationists believe it is.

  3. The flood was an embellished localized event and the water never reached northern Arizona.
