Read whole chapters (which is how I knew scriptures were being taken out of context for a talk) or do a crossword puzzle. (Take individual puzzle pages out odf one of those big Dell books)
Shame that things can get so boring.
what do you do/used to do?i go to the bathroom for more than 10 mins,then read something irrelevant or think of something irrelevant or go out for a while and so the meeting comes to an end..

some my be familiar with the website "revelation online" it is a site that put books online for free, usually in pdf format.
i don't know how they do it, but they have been around for years.
well, i was looking at books today and noticed the truth in translation book.. if you are not familiar with this book you have not been a jw in the past year or two(or living under a rock).
Thanks. I read the book of Tobit (not included in the Protestant Bibles) not long ago and at least now have an understanding of where the Pharasees got that woman with seven husbands ressurrection question from to ask Jesus.
I like reading stuff.
why men are never depressed.. men are just happier people-- what do you expect from such simple creatures.. your last name stays put.
the garage is all yours.
wedding plans take care of themselves.
If men are never depressed than why did my friend hang himself?
i saw a thread on another forum suggesting this...based on all the info so readily available to so many nowadays...its certainly true that the society is warning all the witnesses about it.... what do you think?
is it possible that it could seriously affect their status?
loz x.
No, and why would you care to try? Stop trying to return injury for injury. Leave them behind and move on with your life. Everyone gets whats coming to them sooner or later.
Most you can do is hope they change the faux doctrine to come into the 21st century & stop lying to everyone.
Don't be like them and try to force something on members. People will leave on their own as their eyes are opened.
Is he going to give you a cow for your farm?
the content of the program presented at the circuit assembly: safeguard your spirituality served as a re-affirmation that the wt/gb is loosing the grip of rank & file.
they are becoming boulder and boulder in their blatant use of mind control techniques; in my opinion, their mind control techniques used to be more subtle.
but the content of the program in this past assembly clearly reflected that they are acting out of frustration and desperation.
1. Satanas El Diablo???? ¿Como?
Isn't that the little Mexican joint down the street? Why are the employees out to get everyone? Are they serving bad enchiladas or something? ¿ Cómo está pasando allí?
Weird how they think Satan is stronger than God. If they thought the average JW had any real faith, they'd know they could not be easily "swayed." How does one claim Jesus & Jehovah are the most powerful beings in the universe while being so afraid of "lesser" beings?
2. Protect the Org?
Huh? If its really God's Org, whacha doin asking humans to protect it? Such a lack of faith is sad.
3. Doubts are your fault?
Sure the doubts are your fault, never mind we [GB] keep feeding you stuff for 5 yr olds that you are tired of hearing and can't answer your deeper adult questions, nor can we make up our minds what we believe depending on what year this happens to be due to the rotation of planets in the Andromada galaxy. Yep, uh huh.
4. Praise the GB?
Bend your knee to us! We require worship! Forget that Jesus fellow. WE are your Jesus, WE are your mediators!
My thoughts? Oh, just plain FU! I'll take the real mediator. Thanks.
5. Stay single?
Why should JWs start listening to demonic talk? If they want a bunch of nuns and priests why not simply go Catholic?
Could you just imagine Jesus Paul Peter James etc saying STUPID stuff like this?
that's what my older jw brother of 34 said a few months back.
he actually 100% believes that an athiest cannot have a happy life.. -sab.
"All athiests/agnostics will regret their path and beg God to take them in before their death..."
Let's suppose they do. Would your brother be upset if Jah says kewl and saves them? [Being a JW he'd likely be steaming angry.]
Hopefully at that moment a really big fish will swallow your brother.
well after fading and keeping a low key i think the elders are finally going to get to me.
in 2007 i moved to another city but quickly moved back home about two months later.
the whole time everyone from my old congregation has been thinking i've been in another city.
Just say you don't give out personal things such as phone numbers over the internet.
why are so many christian religions obsessed with other peoples sex lives?.
they even feel comfortable talking about it in a 'public meeting' when children are present.. does it not point toward an unhealthy deviancy in their mentality?.
.
Most fundamentalist groups are crotch obsessed, it ain't just the JWs.
Issues of abortion, contraception, the gays, masturbation, etc ... crotch, crotch, crotch, crotch crotch.
Everywhere you turn someone is raging about what others are doing with their crotches.
so in this passage jesus is talking to his apostles for 3 chapters but it seems that he was ignoring his apostles or just wanted to be heard, what do you think?.
john 13:36-16:5. john 13:36 simon peter said to him: lord, where are you going?
jesus answered: where i am going you cannot follow me now, but you will follow afterwards.
I think the Apostles were kinda annoying at times.
