  Slow motion pioneers

  by 1Averagejoe in

  observing our local unemployed pioneers and how long they take to get to their first or next call, usually taking the longest route to get to one they know won't be there anyway.

  along the way it's gossipy this and that.

  pioneers?

  There is no scripture. It's one of those modern man made WT rulz. Kinda like having people wash up to their elbows when a basic hand wash would suffice. You see, the Apostles didn't work for a book factory, therefore they had no need to punch time cards.

  As a pioneer, my time was voluntary & volunteers don't punch time cards. I honestly didn't care if I made the time or not.

  Most of the pioneers would drag out their day because they knew the time factor was an exercise in futility and quite redundant. Why would a religion require "quotas"?

  hot topic on topix seems to be candace conti settlement.

  but it's all quiet here.

  are you guys aware that your hero, who was not in it for the money but to change policies, settled without changing anything?

  Corporations settle when they want to diminish the amount of bad publicity. WTBTS is like any other big corporation.

  The payment is an admission that wrongdoing occurred. (Just like the RCC)

  i saw an instagram post showing a short clip of a talk being given in one of our southern states.

  the talk clip showed speaker making the statement, "jehovah doesn't want anyone to know satans real name, jehovah hates satan so much, he doesn't even want his name mentioned" .

  i posted in comments: matt 5:44-48 with the full scripture rendered from niv.

  Haaaaa! The funny ha ha's never end.

  Maybe it will occur to them that Jehovah isn't God's name either. Probably why Jesus never once used it, not even when dying. It's some English translation of guess the vowels from Hebrew texts.

  Wonder why they don't use the Hebrew names?

  Waiting For The "Real Life"...

  2. experiences

  how many times did we have to hear this?

  just another way to make you feel guilty for wanting to spend time improving yourself or enjoying life outside the organization.

  to think of all the people that died waiting for the "real life" that is not coming is actually very sad and depressing.

  Pretty much the sole basis for doing absolutely nothing of real value in this given life.

  Name "UNWRITTEN" Rules That JWs Are Supposed To Follow

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  as with the scribes and pharisees, there are a number of unwritten rules that witnesses are supposed to follow.

  here's a couple : "worldly" kids in society depictions are shown quite often wearing their baseball caps backwards.

  jehovah's witness youths would not want to imitate that "look".

  Never understood that erroneous male answer thing. I wonder how that whole last days "your sons AND daughters will prophesy" thing would work out?

  What would have Jesus done ?

  by coalize in

  2. beliefs

  "everytime you want to do something think at what jesus would have done at your place".

  every one already heard that once, i'm sure.. what's funny and i always dreamt to do, but never had the courage, it's to take the box where you put contributions and throw it at the ground to break it.

  elders : "what are you doing?".

  Be the lone (and single) brother hanging out at the house of two sisters.

  Work at an actual paying job. Help support your mother.

  Actually feed people who've sat listening to you for hours.

  Be uplifting not negative.

  The problem with JWs is that it is an US American religion. One that got stuck in the fabled 1950s television land. A complete life of make believe.

  The underline thing is for "show". All study articles when opened should give the appearance that a paint factory vomited on the pages. It is only the most spiritual minded who treasure books/mags/etc that look like a hot mess.

  Go hang out with people considered "bad association" while the Pharisees, er 'scuse, Elders complain as procedures to have you 'killed' begin. Brother snitch-a-lot will be promised a part on the Circuit assembly for being a witness against you.

  Watching too many COPA matches can do things to the mind. Wait! You need a special cable package to watch those!
