  Where did you sit in the KH?

  by Evidently Apostate in

  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?.

  Holiday field circus: From both sides of the door

  by WTWizard in

  2. experiences

  here is what it is like to those on the inside of the door:.

  the children got up about an hour earlier than normal.

  obviously, they are anxious to start opening up the presents under the tree (and most children are not going to want to sleep in on christmas morning).

  In my ex-congo there was the habit to avoid going into field service on Christmas, on New Year's Eve and on Easter. The elders approved and encouraged this after some of the citizens peacefully asked to be left alone with the families on those occasions. They said something like "We have no problem talking to you any day of the year, but not today". Even te pioneers knew that field service on those holidays was ostentative and even dangerous (romanians like to drink alcohol on those ocasions). Going to studies was kosher, but no door to door in those days.

  I listened to the meeting over the phone with my grandmother. This religion is nuts!!

  my grandmother has been a little ill, and had to be put in a facility temporarily.

  she should be getting out sometime next week.

  i'm not particularly close with her, and that probably has a lot to do with my father.

  Who Has the Most to Answer For?

  by Eiben Scrood in

  1. jw

  there have certainly been a number of "characters" in watchtower lore who share much responsibility for misery endured by the rank and file for the last 100 plus years.

  as much as rutherford certainly seemed to be a megalomaniacal control freak, i would still put the majority of the blame on one fred franz.. i know it was rutherford who wrote the book children which told people not to get married in the early 1940s because the "princes" would be soon ruling the earth but from that point on, was it not freddie who published one piece of bullshit after another?

  his infamous tirades against education such as the 1968 publication saying you would never grow up to use it being one example.

  Everyone knows they shun ex-members. And if one member is a liar, what is the connection with the GB? The attack is too personal and not doctrinal enough. It's the GB and their goons who are the enemy and not all elders are a...oles.

  Where do you go from here?

  after either being a witness or studying with them, and you find out stuff that has you leave, where do you go?

  i don't think they are the true religion, but i do think they teach a lot of stuff that is correct.

  like the trinity being a false doctrine, no idle worship, including crosses, and hell isn't a forever torture.

  You will go into the Earth. I, however, will go to take some pickles and some bread and butter.

  Violent entertainment and it's effects

  by sabastious in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the watchtower has always talked about violence in entertainment.

  it is one of the watchtower's historical hot topics.. and for good reason too.

  virtual violent entertainment is a very new phenomenon in our world.

  Violent entertainment existed in all societies, in all times. With the increase in population came the mass-distribution, that is all. However, I assume that kids in ancient and medieval times were not exposed as much as kids nowadays, yet the human society has always been violent in a constant quantity.

  I wrote this on another thread, but I will say it again: do not expect a doctrinal revolution. The JWs and the Governing Body are trapped in a loop. They cannot afford to loosen the knot: the Zerg Hive would then collapse. More freedom is bad! The next generation of GB members is no better than the Old Guard. Expect more coercition and absurdity in the years to come.
