Regret

by elder-schmelder in

gen 6:7. so jehovah said: i am going to wipe men whom i have created off the surface of the ground, from man to domestic animal, to moving animal and to flying creature of the heavens, because i do regret that i have made them.

8 but noah found favor in the eyes of jehovah.. .

does he still regret making us, or did he change his mind and now he is happy?.

Mr. Falcon

well he must've regretted making the f-in animals because he wasted no time killing their asses too.

Opinionated Elders

by toto555 in

i've seen many elders over the years instead of using god's word to explain how things really are try to use the bully-pulpit on the platform and try to just bully brothers and sisters into their own selfish opinions and then trying to pass them off as fact.

i also here that this goes on further up the chain.

what stories do you all have on this?

Mr. Falcon

oh yeah, like most here, I've seen this first hand. sadly, these type-A personality wankers tend to bully the quieter, weaker elders and quickly find themselves in big positions like Service Committee, Assembly Committee, etc.

I remember one such A-hole, was a MS at the time. Me, him and some other nutjob were all up-and-comers, getting groomed to be the next brass. Both of them were college-educated and wore it on their sleeves like they were gracing us with their brilliance.

This moron came up to me one time and made a comment that "We're the only 3 brothers who've gone to college."

When I told him that in fact I had not had the honor of attending college, he just looked at me and was like "Really???........ oh." Then walked away.

Public Talks all MANUSCRIPT now???

by hamsterbait in

on another thread gingerbread said (ouch - the poetry is not deliberate!

) that all sunday public talks are now manuscript.. is this why the brothers have been doing babble readings without adding any comment?

so they can just regurgitate words convincingly whether they understand or not??.

Mr. Falcon

BOC, you're right about the manuscripts on the assembly programs. When I worked stage observation, there a "heavy" who sat at a desk behind the stage and followed along with his own manuscript copy of the talk being given at any given time. if the speaker went off course, his ass got reamed out when he got off stage with the assurance that he'll never get another talk. And since giving talks is like the crowning acheivement in WT world, few "brothers" ever strayed out of fear of losing this priviledge.

i need to learn to spell. hung-over, sorry.

Mr. Falcon

I'd imagine they are still outlines (at least they were when I was giving em just a few years ago) but they are REALLY dumbed down outlines. by adding a few grammatical changes you can convert one to a manuscript in about 18 minutes.

coupled with the fact that there is VERY little room to "add" any of kind of originality or human perspective, the frigging things might as well be manuscripts. i've done public talks and I've read letters from the Branch on stage. Not much difference.

For any non-JWs who might be curious about the blood doctrine of Jehovah's Witnesses

by Mr. Falcon in

simply put the current blood doctrine can be described as such:.

you can sit down and eat some cheese.. later on, if you want, you can grab a spoon and eat tomato sauce out of the facking can.. or, maybe you fancy eating cooked dough.. and hell, who doesn't like a couple of slices of pepperoni?.

but god have mercy on your soul if we catch you eating a mother-loving pizza.....

I have disagreement with something I read about Bethel, need input

by Truth and Justice in

jw
friends

i have read on this site, that there really is'nt anymore invites to bethel, and yet my 2 nephews have just been invited.

they are both serving as we speak.

i do understand that there has to be somebody there for the matter of maintenance, plumbing, and etc., to just keep the building operational, and my personal opinion is that they aren't there for that reason.

Mr. Falcon

I was at Bethel for almost five years. When I decided to get married, we decided to apply and stay. I knew many of the guys on my crew were going to leave, so I thought I would do the right thing and try to stay. I was told to go in the field and pioneer with my new wife, go to college to learn a skill and reapply with my new skill to further serve Jehovah. So I said, "So let me get this straight, I didnt go to college because the organization told me not to go. I come here and work for free for five years, which in that time I could be well on my way to a master's degree; but instead I came here. So now after my years of service, you want me to leave, pioneer (both my wife and I), support myself in the meantime, and go to college to get a skill that could be used by the organization? I thought the skills I was taught at Bethel were far superior to the ones that were taught in 'worldly colleges'." He said that I had a negative attitude. I just had to shake my head and walk away from him...disillusioned could hardly be the word to describe the next few years of life.

The "Pop-In"

by Mr. Falcon in

so last night the wife is working, the kids are getting ready for bed and i'm watching futurama.

doorbell rings.

now it's dark, snowing and i live on a back road, so it's very odd to have a visitor.

Mr. Falcon

Maybe someday the elder on my JC who gave my wife that reclining chair will do this. He did say I wasn't allowed to sit in it...

SD-7, I FORMALLY DEMAND THAT YOU FINISH THIS STORY.

Mr. Falcon

Crazy the things that you take as normal after years of being told it is so.

Amen to that. Ignorant behaviour that is frowned upon by normal people. And it's always the same people who mooch off of others, but never return any kind of hospitality. I swear this cult caters to freeloaders.

Big Mama, that is hilarious. Those elders must really think you're stupid to pull that. next time, turn the hose on them.

Mr. Falcon

I was a pioneer until about 6 months before I stopped going. Except for one elder, never heard from anyone again. Nothing. Pioneered for 7 years. Hosted baby and wedding showers galore. Used my home for tons of gatherings. Then nothing. Really happy actually that they don't care. Makes ignoring them in public super easy.

Well said, joyfulfader. They use you up, and when you've had enough and don't want no more of what they're selling, they just pack up and move on to the next sucker to leech off of.

JEHOVAH NEEDS YOUR MONEY FOR 2014!!!!!!!!

by DATA-DOG in

has anyone else recieved the letter from the gb about international conventions in 2014?

according to the letter the missionarys/order of full time servants desperately need to get to the conventions in their homeland.

so to accomplish this, jehovah needs 15 cents per publisher, per congregation for some months ( sorry i can't remember the exact length of time ).

Mr. Falcon

how's that song go? Oh yeah....

And the sign said, "Everybody welcome. Come in, kneel down and pray"
But when they passed around the plate at the end of it all, I didn't have a
penny to pay
So I got me a pen and a paper and I made up my own little sign
I said, "Thank you, Lord, for thinkin' 'bout me. I'm alive and doin' fine."
Wooo!
