i was discussing this topic with two friends of mine, ex jws, a few nights ago.
i think it would be boring after a while.
you can't smoke, have to drink with moderation (difficult in europe with all the wines).
after thousand years no one is going to whant to live forever.. just had to help buried 7 billion humans had to help resurect 30 billion had to give study to a million of them.
Then Satan will get loose for a short time you know what that means another 6 or 7 thousand years till he gets destroyed.
so live forever am good with another 30 or 40 years!!
it can be anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes!
as long as you've had a literature discussion three times, you can start counting it as a study.
first, they say you can now count only 15 minutes a month.
one thing about the numbers of study increase was that the family study can be counted so if you have one year old and show them a video a week is a study.
I remember someone at the cong would report 4 hours 4 return visits 1 study and I ask him he told me he gave study to his one year old
our current co has not been in the org all that long, less than 10 years, and already quite a respected overseer.
i know of a few married couples in the spanish congs that are doing everything right, you know, with the theocratic schooling, the pioneering, etc., and... nothing!.
how do some seem to reach certain posts so damn quick, while others cannot make it?!
it's who you know not what you know.
ok... my other thread i cant respond.
we went to shut up our family... but myhusband is seething and said his brain has shut off.. the stupid is amazing.. they are playing videos that are lame and pointless for the first symposium.. for the first symposium... they asked why the bible has no pictures.
because it was before photography...jesus used word pictures!!
just when you thought may's jw dot org video featuring wide-eyed cult lunatic gb lett guilting the masses into giving every last dime they have couldn't be topped, your children will now be fed a guilt-inducing cartoon in which they are guilted into giving every last cent they have to the wt cult.
the wt entitles this one, "give us your money!
even your children are to be shaken down!
we've all read, heard and have seen in the videos where jw's and their leaders talk about the "huge" growth that is taking place.
they've talked about how many kh they needed, branches etc... .
our co last visit he mentioned how quickly the organization is speeding up and the huge growth they are seeing.
Just did in Audit to the Congs contribution. these is what I found.
before new arengment world wide work was receiving 400-500 monthly after New arengment it has gone from 100-200.
but they send 525 to the new arengment of kh building.so yes donations have shifted. am not why sure they expected that they were going to continue to receive more money.
mind you were a poor Spanish congregation.
if you are excommunicated, a.k.a.
disfellowshipped, from the organization, you are a victim of a pagan practice!.
the faithful and discreet slave has said so!.
so i went to get a burger just now, and a couple of elders from my former congregation caught me off guard.
they started giving me the we feel so sorry for you, you must be so lonely bit.
i kept telling them im doing great and im not lonely but its like they couldnt hear me talking.
"i can't wait to meet abraham" was the eager comment made by a young 7 year old witness girl.. when asked why, she said "because he was jehovahs friend, and he was even willing to kill his own son!".
this comment was said with joy and excitement!
she can't see the obvious issues with this?.
if I would do that to my son today, what Abrahm did I would get arrested and they would take my son away, and he is some kind of bible hero..??
good point sir82,,, has anyone done the calculation of 20-30 billion resurections divided in the 1000 years how many would be a day. logisticly it would be a nightmare.
in the watchtower august 15 in the topic: "let the many islands rejoice" appears the following paragraph: .
then, however, it came time for a serious decision.
would i accept a scholarship to go to university?
Mr Jackson is a liar just like all the other GB members.
kids that read his experience are going to say if I finish or drop out of high school at 15 I could eventually become GB member..
