Being embarrassed by a JW when you were a JW

by punkofnice in

i was out on the ministry(tm) in the 1980's when i was pie-on-earring.

i was only a lowly publisher(tm) being coached by a rather odd elder(tm).. one of the publications(tm) had recently mentioned japan and the growth(tm) of jws there.. the elder(tm), brother(tm) i was with offered the magazines(tm) to the householder(tm).. then he stated, 'there are (gave the reported numbers at the time.

i can't remember the number he stated), jehovah's witnesses(tm) in japan.'.

Welcome Forestgirl

I noticed some of my "brothers" and "sisters" lacked that sincerity. They either were there just to count time, to win arguments, or because they felt forced to. Some almost treated it like war. Us vs them.

Yes. I'd forgotten about that.

One Jobot used to try to use phrases from the New ~~Fake~~ World Translation. He haughtily said to a vicar with whom he was arguing (as you say above), 'You yourself have said it.'(tm). Not long after, that same Brother(tm) was imprisoned for being a nonce.

Details of Noah’s Ark

by enigma1863 in

jw magazines have claimed the flood story has so much detail that it couldn’t be just a made up story.. is it detailed?

Here in the UK in the '70s, all the mystery of Mrs Noah was put right in the amazing cartoon.....

LHG - I didn’t buy that because a real warning work should use the media. No, it’s nothing but a busy making work and a visible yardstick by which to judge the rank & file

A very astute observation. The Watchtower Corporation(tm) is just a big business masquerading as a religion. A sickening pyramid scheme.

he most embarrassing thing for me was--public prayer.

As an Elder(tm) I loathed doing this. Also, when I had to introduce the Kingdom Songs(tm) I say something like, 'Now we sing the rousing song....' but in my head I thought 'another tuneless load of rubbish.' Even as a fully hypnotised JW(tm), I thought the songs were written by talentless hacks. I'd go home an put on some Punk rock to get the drone out of my mind.

Bart Simpson - I disagree with defining a user a "troll" based on his position on these mRNA vaccines.

You made that assumption, I did not say this. Never have and never will. Nothing to do with vaccines, (which I personally think are highly dangerous), you aren't paying attention.

Listen carefully.

My position is this. Lube appears just after indoubting got booted off this forum for trolling us with moon landing and other conspiracies to a point that it was obviously a trolling as it ramped up and got sillier and sillier.

Funny how we are now having to endure the light trolly stuff about the bOrg and jibby jabs.....and it'll ramp up, I guarantee it.

You've been had by a troll.

Bart - Feeding the troll are you?

Then if you want to run and get the 4, 5 or 6 dose no one is stopping you

What an idiotic assertion. Based on what?

Fully vaccinated

by llubrevlis2000 in

i have just heard about a rebellion starting for the kingdom ministry schools this year.

nobody is allowed to go unless you are fully vaccinated and the unvaccinated are not allowed to watch by video conferencing.. apparently there are many congratulations insisting on recently fully vaccinated meaning to those elders, you had your latest booster recently.

if it’s been more than six months you are no longer fully vaccinated.. i hear of lots of elders or mss who just do not want to keep taking these injections some haven’t had a booster in months and now they are not allowed to go to the upcoming kms.. that is not really what the letter said, it says all coordinators have to check that all elders are fully vaccinated.

Elmer - How is your band doing Punk? Playing many gigs lately?

Just about gigging. The Covid lockdowns drove a lot of venues out of business. Still pootling along although I suspect this will be our last year. We're knocking on a bit now.

How's yourself?
