  Shepherding Call Coming Up

  by dontplaceliterature in

  well, my wife and i are supposed to be visited by a couple of elders soon, as part of a "regular shepherding program".

  i am a ministerial servant in our congregation and our circuit overseer has been busting the boe's chops each visit lately for not having a program in place for shepherding.

  it was previously done on an "as needed" basis, but i guess he cracked the whip pretty hard on this last visit so they are going to try to get down to business.

  As an elder who made regular sherpherding calls, I'll give you this advice. Divulge nothing to the elders. Be polite. Read the appropriate scriptures. They don't want to be there any more than you do. When they ask you if you have any problems/questions, the answer is no. Smile. Ask them if they'd like tea/coffee/whatever. They won't be back for a while unless they believe your situation warrants a second visit. Quite frankly, even if you have a problem, these are the last guys you want to ask for help. Hope it goes well.

  Lurking JW's & Newbies - WT Society's Definition of "Generation" is False

  by flipper in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  of course this comes as no surprise to those of us on this board- naturally, as we've informed ourselves.

  however i felt it important to reveal the real dictionary definition of the word " generation " for newly exiting jehovah's witnesses so they can see for themselves how the wt society is twisting the real definition of this word to extend their faulty predictions of jesus prophecy about " this generation will by no means pass away.

  so here is the actual definition of the word " generation " according to webster's newworld dictionary - .

  So let's take this to it's logical conclusion. As this is not the last generation then it, as well as all other events are in the future. So basically, all who die now fall into the righteous and unrighteous category. Unless you can piss off the holy spirit, you're coming back. Also, all the "sacrifices" you have made for your religion are worthless as the true religion has not arrived. Bottom Line: Live Well .... Enjoy Life.

  just curious, do they give you any kind of documentation?

  is it all just by word?

  surely they would have to give you something?.

  Article-"News analysis: Inside the Brooklyn Bridge Park deal" - “The Jehovah’s Witnesses have been the immense beneficiaries”

  august 11, 2011 news analysis: inside the brooklyn bridge park dealby kate briqueletthe brooklyn paper its the billion-dollar boondoggle!the jehovahs witnesses are poised to make out like moneylenders in the temple under the just-signed deal that allows the city to fund brooklyn bridge parks annual upkeep with tax revenues from the groups properties, a brooklyn paper analysis reveals.. the deal calls for the watchtower bible and tract societys holdings in brooklyn heights and dumbo to be rezoned for residential use a change that real-estate experts believe will send the value of the societys properties well north of $1 billion.. if they put them on the market now, theyll be sold very quickly, said downtown real-estate broker chris havens.. the deal between mayor bloomberg and state officials will reduce the amount of luxury condos inside brooklyn bridge park by capturing property taxes from the watchtower properties after they are sold.

  the money will be diverted from the city general fund to pay for maintaining the world-class park at the foot of two wealthy neighborhoods and that has green advocates seeing red.. tax money is supposed to go into the citys general fund and its being diverted to one park, said geoffrey croft, founder of watchdog group new york city park advocates.

  I'm sure the GB will be sending all of us who invested decades of our lives in this scam with hefty retirement checks. After all, we gave up saving for retirement because THE END IS NEAR. I'll keep checking my mailbox. Checks should be coming any day now....

  I'm Going Home

  by compound complex in

  2. bible

  in a state of harmonic, suspended animation, i await patiently as a dissonance held for a seeming eternity quietly resolves into a soothing consonance that says all is right within my universe.. .

  floating through space, enamored of aural and visual beauties that accompany the lone traveler sojourning through the ether ... supernal, glorious worlds beckon him, their holding in store treasures amassed long before he became aware of realities beyond his finite, terrestrial sphere.. .

  wishing to be removed from the anxieties and paltry cares of existence upon this orb i call home, i have traveled to another dimension through a means ever at my disposal ... my imagination.. .

  The JW's are the NEAREST thing to the Truth....EVER!

  by punkofnice in

  2. beliefs

  i'm sick of this.

  when you show a jw the fallacy of their organization (on the rare occasion they don't get the forcefield up in time), they'll retort with something as assinine as.

  'yes....but jehovah's witnesses are the nearest thing to the 'truth' there is!'.

  To quote Miracle Max from the "Princess Bride" there's a big difference between mostly dead & dead. The rank & file believe they're at a dead end. Although deep down they know parts of the doctrine are not true, they are correct in the assumption that in Christiandom there is nowhere to run. It is a poor position to be left in. They can't leave. All they hope for as they go from funeral to funeral is that maybe the part where they live forever will be true. All the while, they sacrifice this life for nothing. That's truely sad & pathetic.

  So the cryptic message is that while you're a JW, you're full of crap. But after you leave, it's like taking a big crap & finding relief. Thank you stillthinking. I feel a bowel movement coming on & I must run. I'm sure it's a new message.

  A-holes works for me. I'm hoping that east coast sunami wipes them all out before they sell. Unfortunately, that would make Wallkill oceanfront property. Another miracle!
