  by Disassociated Lady 2 in

  2. beliefs

  i have had a conversation this evening with a jw friend i have known since childhood.

  he is of the opinion that armageddon will have come and gone within the next 5 years.

  are the jws now pinpointing 2020 as the supposed year?

  If I had lived in Europe during the first and 2nd World Wars, I would have thought that the end was soon to end then.

  Vow of Obedience and Poverty? WTF??

  by NikL in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  listener on here started a cool thread about the april 2017 wt which can be found here.... https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/4881380162928640/watchtower-april-2017-overview.

  it got me to look at it closer and in the opening study they use terminology i've never heard used before namely, "vow of obedience and poverty".... 19 currently, there are some 67,000 members of the worldwide order of special full-time servants of jehovah’s witnesses.

  some perform bethel service, others engage in construction or in circuit work, serve as field instructors or special pioneers or missionaries or as assembly hall or bible school facility servants.

  You can't beak your vow of Poverty, but, they can break it by reassigning you to the field?

  It's kind of like working for Uncle Sam.

  Xmas / New Year - Time to Review Your Finances

  by Simon in

  1. social
  2. family

  it's that time of the year again, when most people spend too much buying too much crap for people .... it's also a good time to take advantage of the few days off to look at your finances and make sure you're not being "gouged" by the big companies that, well, like to extract as much money from people as possible.. for us, one of the biggest culprits was telecoms.. think about it: years ago you just had to buy a tv and probably paid to have a phone line.

  nowadays you have cell phones for everyone in the family and a million and one tv channels (all showing crap or repeats of crap) and extra for movies and pay-per-view.

  you can easily be paying hundreds of dollars per month.. it can all add up, quickly.

  I used to purchase the old incandesent light bulbs because the newer LED bulbs were 3 times as much. Then I finally caved in, and bought my first LED bulb. I was sold with the fact that it would last 18 years, use only a fraction of energy of the old bulbs, and I didn't compromise on lifestyle.

  The December Broadcast... OMG- what the heck was that?

  "of course not- we want to eat from clean dishes!

  dishes that have been cleaned thoroughly inside and out.

  " we have to be sure the things entering our minds are clean... rejecting exciting fun stuff that features sex.

  Dishes should be cleaned inside and outside? Now I I'm not qualified to do the dishes in my house.

  Stepford Children

  by Disassociated Lady 2 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i watched this movie for the first time today and i noticed some disturbing similarities with the personalities of jws.

  the way they train their children and wives so they become robots to serve jehovah, but most importantly of all, to make their husbands and fathers look good and boost their egos.

  if you haven't watched this movie or stepford wives, take a look.

  It's kind of like those shows in the 60's like," Ozzie and Harriet," or, "Father knows best" isn't it?

  Top ten reasons to own VR glasses

  10) When you put them on, you see clearly why Trump was elected.

  9) JW Broadcast will be featuring a full 3D movie on that Generation Chart that David Splane presented

  8) New song books will feature a Karaoke style for VR devices

  7) Public Ministry VR goggles may be used to tune out some who you don’t wish to speak to

  6) They are great for those that like to sleep at meetings

  5) You can tell the Mother in law that the reason you are not listening to her is because you are doing your research.

  4) Great device for all those unmarried sisters since now they have a full life like imaginary husband they can view.

  3) Pokemon has made enough money

  2) Now when showing a video in FS, just slip those VR glasses on your RV, they can’t be distracted from looking who is inside your car group.

  1) Another way to piss off the GB by wasting our time having fun

  Since the Video is 10 min's long, you have used up all your time. Just stand up there and say, "Watch this" and then leave.
