  Circuit Overseer sign up sheet

  by A question in

  2. friends

  everyone knows that people sign up to have the co over for lunch wed. through fri. but in your area, did they (even privately, outside of a sign up sheet) also invite him over sometimes for dinner as well, at all?

  is this something that varies by co?.

  We used to go up and shake the CO's hand and have money in our palms. We also would give his wife money too, knowing she must be giving up a normal life and all.

  Now I am sorry I gave any of them a dime. They just help perpetuate one lie after another.

  The Governing Body's Has Appointed Itself Faithful and Discreet Slave By A Heavy Dose Of Bias And Tremendous Leaps In Logic

  by frankiespeakin in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  not to mention the fact that they run a printing corporation and do not need to consult with any committee of bible scholars, they just merely have to say it's so or simply say it's an idea they "{love}" and it becomes fact.

  any reason they give must be accepted by the rank and file under the painful threat of being disfellowshipped for being an appostate.. .

  My mother was naive also, Roberta. She believed up until right before she died.

  I think it is best not to share or distribute Watchtower publications anymore since they will all be "apostate" literature one day. Almost every book they have published is now full "old" teachings.

  A similar thing happened to me. I compiled a binder full of Watchtower quotes of things we have changed our views on and that contained statements regarding our false Armageddon predictions, our doctrinal flip flops and the like.

  My daughter and my nephew refused to discuss any of it and actually threw the binder full of Watchtower quotes out in the trash.

  That is why it is best to avoid the Watchtower publications at all cost. What is truth today is tomorrows "apostacy."

  I know you must be upset and feel like the fecal matter has hit the fan and it probably has. The next couple of months will be tough but things will settle down one way or another. I am sorry you have to suffer this, but like me, you were in a cult and have to suffer the consequences of wanting to leave now. There is no honorable way out of this religion.

  I don't get it ... 80% of people in Oklahoma DON'T have a Tornado Shelter. Are they nuts ????

  by RubaDub in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i really don't understand.

  how can any homeowner in his right mind, not have a tornado shelter ???

  i understand that some people live in apartments and condos, but someone with any size yard (even a driveway) could have a shelter.. to me it's a no-brainer.

  I am 59 years old and have lived in the midwest all my life and never have experienced a tornado touch down near me. Of course, that could all change at almost anytime.

  Jesus supposedly died for us, the ransom sacrifice was almost 2000 yrs ago. The ransom was paid, why have the hostages not been released?

  Good questions William H. Today is a sad day. I know the Witnesses will say they will/may be resurrected, but that doesn't make it all ok does it?
