Do you think they will get a new bible?

by twinkle toes in

i was thinking about the fact that the society is changing all the lingo that is associated with the new world order, new system and the like.

what i was wondering is if it is important to get away from this phrasing, what are they going to do with the new world translation?

do you think they will start publishing it under a new name?

Maybe they will add a new book to the bible after Revelation called: "The Gospel According To The Governing Body"

IF GOV.BODY WERE INCHARGE OF LEADERSHIP FOR WHOLE WORLD, WHAT WOULD LIFE BE LIKE?

by clarity in

any body care to add their own ideas?

imagine if god gave the gb the authority to rule the whole earth and everyone in it, right now, the same way they govern jw's, what the heck would that be like?.

after the temporary euphoria wore off (should last a good two minutes or so), the gb (or whatever they're calling themselves now) would have much to do.

the official wt understanding on where to park your butt during the meeting is to move around from meeting to meeting in order to get in more association or whatever but i never really saw things that way.

the kh seating arraingment at my hall went as follows;.

if you sat in the front you were really late or wanted to seem really spiritual.. the elders and pioneers always liked the same seats every meeting.. shiftless ones and those who wanted sympathy for thier back ailments would stand in the back during the talks.. ever had a sister in your hall bring in their own chair and footstool?.

Near the back so I could get up few times & go to the toilet. I would use my phone to go online or play a game. Good old Bejeweled, it kept me sane. The meetings were so bloody boring!!! Why did I wait 30 years to get out?

Your favorite meeting ever.

by 2tone in

id like everyone to share there most memorable meeting attendance they had.

for whatever reason.

id like to thank everyone for there comments who read my introduction post.

I hated the meetings so much, I would miss so many.

My favourite meeting was my last one (didn't know it was my last while at that meeting), I knew it was all BS at this stage and knew I would not be doing this for much longer. I decided to fade for a few months.

When it was time to go to the next meeting I thought: "WHY bother going/fading?" I stopped cold turkey and life improved!!!

Yes I agree 'meetings' do sound cult like because they are.

JWs are selling brain software with a trojan horse virus

by unshackled in

weird title i know...let me explain.

so the other day jws knock the door, normally don't answer, but did this time.

told them "i'm not interested in buying your product.

3Mozzies

Well said unshackled, what you told them was true, yet I think they walked away thinking you were nuts. Unless one of them already has personal doubts . . .

Cult...Cult...Cult...Cult!

by Cold Steel in

it seems that many people on this board get a certain amount of glee calling the jehovah's witness faith a "cult.

" especially former jehovah's witnesses.

and though it's true in a number of senses, we must be conscious of the fact that the early christians were considered by nearly everyone in roman and jewish society as a cult.

3Mozzies

How about that ALL JWs carry a suicide card in their wallet/purse!!! (no blood card)

That alone screams out CULT!!!

All because their leaders (GB) in NY tell them to let yourself or your children die if you/they ever need a life saving blood transfusion. So let's follow what a bunch of old men tell us, even if it means killing ourselves and our loved ones... but it's all ok, those men promise us an edenic utopia where these dead will rise again and we all will live happily ever after.

Murdering PIGS!

introduction

by pontoon in

lozasleft said i should introduce myself.

i wasn't happy my dad got baptized because i thought it would change him and i liked him the way he was.

anyway i got baptized in 1969 at 16 yrs old mainly because i wanted to be able to date jw girls.

3Mozzies

Welcome pontoon

Thank you for sharing your story with us. It never ceases to amazes me that most people who use critical thinking eventually leave this cancerous religion. No wonder the GB are trying so hard to stop people thinking. What a cult!

by JunkYardDog in

jw
friends

as i sit down i see wt books on the counter.

after the hair cut the barber agreed it look up some of the stuff i told him.

i agreed , it don't make it true , but most everything on those sites is on the wts cd.

3Mozzies

Well done JYD

This guy WANTED to talk about his stupid religion by placing WTS publications out there for all to see and start up a conversation....So you started talking about his religion. At least some truth went into his ears.

They go to other peoples door with their poisonous religion, ready to trap them into the Borg. All you did was try to help him.

BRAVO!!!

If society UPHELD the pagan origins of umbrellas would the R and F obey?

by Botzwana in

jw
friends

if the society said that umbrellas were indeed pagan, because their origins are, and you would be dfed if you used one do you think the rank and file would obey?

or do you think that would push them over the edge?

i can just see the wealthy witness woman you know, the real pretentious ones not going out when it rains etc..

3Mozzies

The moment I read your post, I popped open my Watchtower Cd, because I thought your post might be a parody.

I did the exact same thing ... lol
