my wife mentioned our circuit assembly was this weekend, she looked at me and i let out a chuckle and said "the kids are too sick right?
" (they weren't) but it was what she wanted to hear, an excuse from me to blow it off.
it got us thinking about how they were kind of tolerable when we were younger.. meals with ice cream, lots of volunteering to get you out of your seat.. there was more room at past assemblies.
"theocratic instructions" on hamburger preparation lovingly provided of the Society.
I hate how JWs attach terms like "loving" and "theocratic" to everything, so it automatically can't be challenged. Any resentment or dissatisfaction with said "loving" provisions is then seen as you being "ungrateful." Infuriating.
well this past weekend was pretty much as predicted, the demonstrations were probably the worst i have ever seen.
you know the ones i mentioned on a post last week where in the middle the participant has a sudden epiphany!
here is a sampling of just a few.. .
who writes this crap? oh wait....

question box.
should publishers and pioneers feel obligated to contribute to the societys worldwide work each time they obtain literature for field service at the kingdom hall?.
BTW, they still charged for many years in other countries not affected by the sales tax debacle. What hypocrites.
WHAT??? damn. Could you elaborate?

They do this because picking up literature serves as a convenient reminder of their privilege and responsibility to support the worldwide work regularly.
HAHAHAHAA that's rich. I take pride in the fact that although I waste gas and time on them, I haven't contributed a dime in at least 8 years.

just found this today on reedit.

This is WINNING all over the place. nicely done.

michelle rodriguez on growing up a jehovah's witnessmarch 13, 2011 06:10 pm edtmichelle rodriguez is said to be one of the fastest rising female action stars in hollywood, and is often compared to angelina jolie.
she has many hit films under her belt, such as, avatar, the fast and the furious, and swat.
in a recent interview, the beautiful actress spoke about her childhood, and growing up as a jehovah's witness.. .
she can knock on my door any day of the week with some Watchtowers.
my ex husband who is a jw just sent me this:.
"the world is on the precipice of a major multifaceted crisis.
the great tribulation may have just started.. .
Now while events like Katrina, tsunami's, earthquakes in Chile, Japan, NZ, China, etc, wars ARE happening, and there is no denying that, I wonder how many other composite signs of the "Last Days"are "seen" due to them being sensationalized on the news?
so i attended a funeral for a jw who passed away (non-"annointed) and i would have to state that although i have heard the standard funeral talk outline for dozens of funerals i've attended, i never really took the time to listen.
and my god, i was cringing.
the outline is essentially broken down like this:.
Note: Instead of eulogizing the deceased, use the material in this outline to give a fine witness concerning the truth.
Thanks, Thomas.
good Lord....... shameful. When I die I hope they just roll me up in newspaper and toss me from a speeding car. I'd rather have nothing than have someone spend 45 minutes hard-selling my loved ones.

HAHA thanks Morbidz. Although the 3 Stooges at least had a sense of humor, a trait sorely lacking in the current JW administration.
I was very embarrassed sitting there listening to this very inappropriate service. They may think to themselves that it is real comfort to share their belief of Paradise or whatever with the non-JW family, but the fact is that many of those non-JW relatives most likely believe in some sort of heavenly hope. And you're not going to suddenly convince them that you're belief is right in the course of 30 minutes or so. A funeral isn't a time to be trying to cram doctrine down somebody's greiving throat. It's a time to remember that person and the live that they touched. Can't your salespitch wait until the body is cold at least?
