  quote from april 2013 our kingdom ministry; available on here: http://jwleaks.org/ .

  " even if they are too young to understand everything that is discussed, children can be trained to remain awake and sit.

  quietly.

  My parents were proud to relate how well behaved we were at the meetings when we were young. It only took a few good spankings when returning home after a meeting where we had acted like any normal kids who are bored to death. I recall a single father making his early teen son stand in the corner at the front of the hall because he wasn't following in his Bible...imagine the humiliation of being called out in front of the whole congregation. It's no surprise the kid rebelled and eventually went to jail for killing a drug dealer...

  Working on a Sunday.

  well i wouldn't really call it hard work, but i have to come into the office and sit and wait for the phone to ring.

  i work every 3rd weekend and it really is unpleasant.

  9 hours each day with nothing to do but wait for the phone to ring.

  I often travel on Sunday to hold business meetings early Monday. Occasionally I come home on Saturday...makes for short weekends. Still, it's much better than 50 years of service on Saturday and meeting on Sunday...and all the guilt when I took a break from these theocratic activities.

  CO talk at SAD appl. of 2 Thess. 1:8 & other mind control tactics

  by Kensho in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  now that i am really "awake" at the assemblies i pay more attention to what the borg's traveling enforcers say and the talk he gave was some "new light" on 2 thess.

  1:8 (probably his opinion).

  paraphrased " there is a thinking that has crept in somehow in the minds of some brothers over the years that because jehovah is a merciful &loving god he will not destroy those who have not been reached with the good news in different parts of the world or my family or bible studies need just a little more time, well they need to read this script.. .

  No more big District Conventions?

  by serenitynow! in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so i went to the hall today for a funeral and took a look at the bulletin board.

  i was surprised to see a letter stating the dc for michigan would be held at the local assembly hall instead of the big convention center in ohio where it had been held the past few years.

  have you all heard about this?.

  CA, I was thinking the exact same thing! In our area they renovated the arena and asked JW to come and clean the venue after the work was completed...the district conventions were months away but the free labour would get the WT a discount later on...

  No soul survives at death...but I heard in a few funeral talks that the deceased are living in Jehovah's memory...what is the difference for us living here on earth? In both cases their are gone...

  Immoral sleeping arrangement?

  by hoser in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm reading through the watchtower rule book right now and i came to the chapter clarification and guidelines on handling certain matters.

  there is a part about scriptural divorce and even if adultery is not proved if your ex stayed all night or is involved in an immoral sleeping arrangement you can get scriptural grounds to remarry.. .

  they make a rule, then they have to make a rule for the rule, make another rule for the rule for the rule.

  Listener, I vaguely recall reading a WT article stating that 2 sisters living together could lead neighbours to believe they are a homosexual couple...so they should make other living arrangements if that was the case...does anyone remember this? That article struck me because my sister has shared an appartment with another JW for decades...
