You could be an ex JW……..

by punkofnice in

if the only song you know by jimi hendrix is.................(fill in the blank).

if you are under the illusion hank marvin can actually play the guitar.. if you think the shadows and prince would make a great super group.. if the time 'half past eight' frightens you because it sounds like apostate!.

if you look around for a spy before wishing a happy birthday.. if you have never seen 'the exorcist' or harry potter movies.. if every time you see 6.07 on a digital clock you think of 5.39.. if you find yourself thinking, 'i must look that up.'.

Teddy Hero Worship Continues -- Sept 15 Study Edition Bio on Melita Jaracz

by LostGeneration in

very weird article, you can read it here if you can tolerate such nonsense:.

http://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/w20150915/melita-jaracz-blessing-in-life/.

basically teddy was a super, duper spiritual giant who went undercover behind the iron curtain, sorta james bond like.

She is the most arrogant and cold person there. Even at breakfast behaved like the queen. Oh no, the queen knows how to handle knife and fork, sorry about that.

Anointed..., my a@€. Parasite you mean.

If you found out TTATT at 80 and spent your entire life at Bethel, what would you do?

by John Aquila in

would you do a ray franz deal and write a book or keep quiet and live out the rest of your life in bethel?.

would you keep reading the watchtower magazine?.

fulano

When I lost my faith in the Watchtower, after almost ten years of missionary-service, I was assigned at Patterson. At that moment my only thought was to get out of that system. I was 39 at that moment, but I guess even at 80 I would have had the same thought and feeling. It's, for me at least, impossible to live in a lie. I would rather die on a street.

How Much Do Circuit Overseers Make Under the Table, and is it Taxable?

by Tazemanian-devil in

i was thinking about green handshakes, and i knew my wife and i personally would try to slide at least $100 each c.o visit to the c.o.

if we were low on cash, we'd never hand him less than $20.

how many of such handshakes does he receive in a weeks time?

fulano

For me It's shocking to read these experiences. I believe them, of course. What a difference with a missionary assignment. We were happy with a bottle of french wine on saturdays after a ten hours preaching day. At least a third part of my allowance of a 100$ Would go to help sisters with childs with unbelieving husbands.

Would you like to live for ever on earth?

by fulano in

i was discussing this topic with two friends of mine, ex jws, a few nights ago.

i think it would be boring after a while.

you can't smoke, have to drink with moderation (difficult in europe with all the wines).

I was discussing this topic with two friends of mine, ex jws, a few nights ago. I think it would be boring after a while. You can't smoke, have to drink with moderation (difficult in Europe with all the wines). Living with the same wife for a million years. Not seeing children in daily life after a while when the Place is stuffed up with people. Hobbies..what's left after a million year? No challenges in life because all the fruit and veggies are there. Couldn't shoot I guess (meaning shooting pheasants for example). All the countries would have been visited in a 1000 years, Anyway nothing to see because it would be all the same boring culture no temples to see in India, Thailand or Japan. No I think it is ok as it is. Live 90 years, do what you like and die in peace.

New video telling the R&F to be generous

by Splash in

bro sanderson has a 7 minute video up on their streaming website called "be willing to open your hand".. in it he tells us not to be "tight fisted" or "stingy" and later "regardless of how much we have or how little we have, we'll find something within our power to be able to do".

we have the responsibility to imitate jehovah's generosity.. there's a bit about giving to one another when we see the need, which is nice, then he drops in how 20 years ago the canada branch committee asked the bethel family for donations to the disaster relief fund, and promptly raised over $10,000.

i think that's pretty good going for those under a vow of poverty.. "the generous person will prosper" he says, then illustrates this using a made up story.

fulano

The problem gets bigger and bigger for them as educated people and a lot of the "first" world are opening their eyes, the growth is from third world countries with little money and less possibilities.
