  New Rooming Arrangement for some district conventions in the UK - what are they up to?

  by 88JM in

  so i missed this letter below being read out last week - i got a look at it from the notice board this week.. from what i heard, this announcement was not received entirely positively as such, but there were apparently one or two for who this is a bit annoying.. staying at hotels for the district convention is nothing new here - many are used to staying at the same hotel/b&b/campsite every year, and get quite friendly with the owners.

  but this year, it looks like not only do we have a new location for our district assembly (glasgow - the s.e.c.c.?

  ) but we are being told what hotel to stay at, supposedly to make things cheaper.. what i can't understand is, if this is really for the benefit of people, why didn't they do this years ago?

  The JW's tell you what to wear after assemblies, what hotels/motels to use, what food to bring, how to behave in hotels, not to leave convention site for lunch, not to buy from vendors outside the convention site, be in your site before the musical interlude. Yup, they sure don't micro manage. Not one bit. Can't leave anything up to the faithful.

  Jehovah can trust the rank and file with delivering the important life-saving message, but can't trust JW's to come back to the convention when they go somewhere else for lunch.

  have any of you who also went to the dc seen something like this happen?

  The Truth should be able to stand up to all scrutiny.

  I listened to that talk and I have to say, according to the talk, the apostates have little to do with drawing away from Jehovah, but drawing away from the organization. That should flow up a red flag.

  What about your vow to Jehovah?

  by a watcher in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  did you get baptized without being dedicated?.

  why did you allow men to come between you and jehovah?.

  why were you serving jehovah at all?

  Yeah, I was stumbled and left. I was stumbled by the absurd teachings and failed prophecies of the WT. I consider myself an atheist (technically agnostic but that's a different discussion). I don't believe in any god so of what value is a fow to a god I don't believe in? It holds the same weight as a vow to Vishnu.

  Numbers don't lie :The End of JESUS...

  (1john2:22,23)who is the liar if it is not the one that denies that jesus is the christ?

  this is the antichrist, the one that denies the father and the son.

  23 everyone that denies the son does not have the father either.

  NeverKnew is right, you have to look at the content of what is being said rather than the quantity.

  Why didn't the angels already know that Jehovah should rule everything and not Satan

  by sosoconfused in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  when i would go out in service and discuss the issue of "universal sovreignty" i always wondered why in the back of my mind why the angels needed to have proven to them that jehovah was worthy of worship alone and not satan.

  no doubt they would have known he was aall powerful.

  he created everything... and most importantly he was god.

  It's because angels got all of their education from Awake magazines.

  Oh and by the way Sam Whiskey, saying that the United States is a Christian country is like saying that the United States is a white country, just because there are more caucasians in the United States than any other minority.

  "StAnn: Ah, yes, practicing freedom of speech and freedom of religion, while we still have them, which won't be long. Good job, young man."

  "Yes, the long war on Christianity. I pray that one day we may live in an America where Christians can worship freely! In broad daylight! Openly wearing the symbols of their religion... perhaps around their necks? And maybe -- dare I dream it? -- maybe one day there can be an openly Christian President. Or, perhaps, 44 of them. Consecutively." - Jon Stewart

  "Do not be called teachers"--Doesn't Jesus OUTLAW all organized religion?

  by humbled in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  jw's and other churches all set up housekeeping in different theological areas.

  some one person can't believe any more what their church is saying, gets a different "take" on god, and......starts trying to convince others to follow them and everything they teach.. nothing new about that.

  but why are so many of us blind to this scenario: we allow that some people get to contemplate other thoughts and others are not allowed.only some lead and everyone else must follow or be thrown out.

  Have to agree with still thinking. Logic and reason will eliminate every god. What makes the Judeo-Christian god hold up to the scrutiny that Zeus or Vishnu doesn't? Plain and simple it is belief bias.

  If you're a really good speaker, did you ever notice others who were jealous?

  by toto555 in

  so did you as a witness ever notice this?

  perhaps if you were being looked at for an elder appointment.

  did other elders view you as potential competition?

  I was a good speaker. I didn't notice any jealousy. I think the bad speakers weren't jealous because they really didn't want to be giving talks in the first place. Some of my talks were pretty lousy, I will admit, if only because the source material was so horrible.
