  just thought i would share with everyone how my jw sister treats our family.

  my stepmother passed away 2 weeks ago, and had been in and out of the hospital.

  so my brother told my jw sister, and she came running to town (5 hour drive) and they didn't call me but did call my oldest sister who then called me.. the jw sister took what items she wanted and left town.

  There is no love in this organization unless you are "in". Sorry for your loss.

  Christmas Songs?

  by leaving_quietly in

  1. watchtower

  there are certain songs sung at christmas time that have nothing whatsoever to do with christmas.

  i've been reading lyrics lately to make sure, then i make comments to my uber-jw wife, who really, really hates what i'm saying.

  for example, the song, "let it snow" has nothing to do with christmas.

  I actually hate most of these songs anyway... unless they are sung by Crooner's.

  Nervousness While Commenting?

  was always shy about public speaking of any kind.

  when i commented, my heart would beat as rapid as a moving train.

  and oh if it was something i tried to remember then it would be forgotton the second being put on the spot.

  I wouldn't comment.

  If you are the kind of person who gets nervous in public speaking, you will probably always be that way. Even Ringo Starr says he still gets nervous when going out to perform.

  No reason to give yourself more anxiety than is necessary.

  Is this CA experience mind control or worship of man?

  by hoser in

  this goes back some time several years perhaps even 10 or so.. .

  i was at the circuit assembly and during the announcements the chairman said you may sit if you wish this will take some time to read this.

  i forget what it was about but everyone sat down except the district overseer and his wife.. then the people sitting close by the do started to get up to stand again and there was this group of about 100 who were standing around the do.

  so you are 'out' and the other in 'in'.

  do they come home with the grumps after every meeting?.

  I always agreed that if you went to a meeting with a headache or something you felt better after the meeting was over. They pinned it on the loving atmosphere and holy spirit. Wasn't until later I realized it had nothing to do with that. Instead it was the relief that the frickin meeting was over.

  I know when I was out and family was in, they would be all smiles when they came home. Had to put on a false front. I can tell because they were a lot more chipper than when I was actually going to meetings.

  Small tattoo

  by happy@last in

  so yesterday after serious consideration i decided to walk into the parlour and get a small tattoo on my wrist.

  it's a small emblem/logo i created that has great meaning to me but wouldn't make sense to anyone else.

  i am so pleased with it and this morning can't stop looking at it and feeling happy about it.

  Another Revised NWT Thread - subtly sowing seeds of doubt with chart

  by mindnumbed in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  pages 1744 thru 1746 feature a chart of the kings of the southern kingdom, ending with zedekiah in 607.. praise the new bible and all of the teaching aids .... draw attention to kings list and how convenient that is ... but, strangely, i decided to look up information in an encyclopedia about the different kings, and the dates are not the same ... so i checked a couple of sources and they are all different than the chart in the bible .... why would that be?.

  The WT backs up their claims of 607 by adding a non-existent king into the Babylonian line of kings.

  Pioneer Service School Adjustment for 2014

  by bnybyt in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the pioneer service school will now be only one week, monday thru saturday.. it will consist of 40 hours of instruction and illustrations/presentations.. the reasong given is that this will make it more accessible to the pioneers for due to work schedules and for congregations having to sponsor and support the school.. it will make it easier on everyone and those who haven't attended in the last five years may be able to attend this school with the new curriculum.. .

  what do you feel would be included in the new curriculum.

  probably more worship of the governing body and they don't need two whole weeks to get this across.. .

  So how exactly did this "new translation" come to be?

  by sir82 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a normal person, upon hearing that a new (or revised) bible translation has been released, would have 2 questions spring to mind almost immediately:.

  1) who did the work, and what are their credentials?.

  2) what manuscripts is the work based on?.

  Calling it a translation is misleading. Seeing as how it paraphrases so much.
