what do you think a witness would say when shown this quote, then the proof of the 1914, 1925 predictions?.

"true, there have been those in times past who predicted an "end to the world," even announcing a specific date.

yet nothing happened.

I'm sorry - is that supposed to depict a college campus. Really? Most college kids do not look like that.

what is the stupidest thing a jw ever told you?

we all know that they say a lot of stupid things, but what really topped the cake?.

for me, it was an elder telling me i was progressing really well when my meeting attendance was down and my field service hours were slipping.

Jehovah's Witnesses are the happiest people on earth.

Chewing bubble gum alters your mind so you shouldn't chew it out in service. <- district convention talk

apostacitis is a term denoting a condition with which the watchtower society has become thoroughly infected, particularly since the year 1981 when sincere christians who merely resigned from the organization over principled differences in belief became viewed the same as unrepentant wrongdoers (1 cor.

5:11) and as those rejecting the good news about the christ (2 john 9-11).

there was a time when news of one becoming an apostate was so rare among witnesses that it sent shockwaves throughout the organization.

This was one of the more interesting opening threads - and all of them are interesting, so hats off to you.

Welcome.

i'll call him bear, like teddy bear because he's big and nice.

bear's the coboe, an intelligent but jittery man who suffers from a host of anxiety disorders.

he 'just happened' to be driving down my street after the group, and 'just happened' to notice i was at home, tending to some animals.

goatshapeddemon

Don't know, but he sounds like one of the few good ones.

So if Russell was the "greater" John the Baptist paving the way for the GB...

by goatshapeddemon in

... what does that make the "governing body"????????.

wait for it....... yes, the greater jesus.

they stopped short of saying that in the july 15 wt (all they said was that russell was the greater john the baptist), but what other conclusion is there, especially since now they're going to rule with jesus over the messianic kingdom.. talk about a messiah complex.

Village girl, you got a giggle out of my husband for that comment.

Scary - yes, very brazen indeed.

We Are Telling You. You Cannot Go To University! Why? Because You Are A Drone!

by LoisLane looking for Superman in

the governing body members do not want anyone to have "higher" education, unless, as we all know, it benefits them.

lol.

to keep millions of people, under educated, under fulfilled, strictly obedient to them, makes jehovah's witnesses, easier to manipulate, easier to handle, easier to make into drones.. wake up people!.

My dad was axed because he let us go to college. I don't think I'll ever "get over" that little gem of a teaching.

At least we GOT an education though!
