"will god bring back life-forms that have become extinct because of mans ruining the earth?

Were you 'alive in '75' and how was that year for you?

1. jw
2. experiences
i was a junior borgite in 1975. i remeber looking at the calendar at work in october and thinking: 'armageddon isn't here yet.....and it doesn't feel like it will be here anytime soon either!'.

i was surprised that jehovah hadn't obeyed the superior command to bring the big 'a' as instructed to him by fred franz.

how dare god disobey the jw leader!!!!!.

1. jw
2. experiences
over the years i met many co's and substitute co's.. to be honest i usually found them to be arrogant power-trippers and bullies.. i can count on my hand the good ones.

bear in mind i saw who they really were in the tiresome elder's meetings!.

i would name names but don't think that's in line with forum rules............. what has been your experience?.

Taking Notes at Meetings and Assemblies
by punkofnice in
1. jw
2. experiences
i was considering recently the value and content of talks by reviewing notes i'd taken.. it seems i've taken copious notes but the content was naff.

not because i'd missed interesting bits but the talks were bland 'ministry' adverts.. the talks all seemed to be full of 'do more or god will murder you'.

'feel guilty because you don't measure up.

S.A.D. childish quote.

1. watchtower
2. beliefs
my son was hauled off to the s.a.d.

(special assembly day) and kept texting me how bored he was during the sessions.. he text the comment to me that a speaker had made the childish comment that 'frank sinatra's' 'my way' is the most played song at funerals and that if the deceased hadn't 'done it their way' (i.e.

not been controlled by the gb), there wouldn't be a funeral.. there isn't enough vomit in the world to express how this kind of cult propoganda childish comment sickens me.. my son remarked it was a childish comment as we're all going to die some time anyway!.

Insulting Terms used by the WashTowel

1. jw
2. friends
loading the language is a propogandist tactic to trigger a reaction in the mind.

a prime example is the word 'apostate'!.

i have been called 'spiritually weak' for quitting field service, meetings etc.. how would you respond (without swearing or giving a punch up the hooter), if you were called this?.
