i took an elderly friend to the meeting last night.
the study is in the "imitate their faith" book which is merely a compilation of previous short stories about bible characters that were featured in a series of watchtower articles.. they waste no time beginning their spinning and supposition with the cain/abel story.
If the story were true then Jehovah invented swords. Thanks Jehovah! - Simon
Lol... Jehovah has always been about the war thing...doncha know.
The flame has gone out at HQ. No money in the bank therefore no holy spirit! No sparkle in the writing, just the same old tired re-heated and stale food from yesterday. - Half banana
So true - especially the stale food part. It's ugly out here in JWland.

You can generate your own happiness, without relying on handouts from religious abusers.

Hey Sam I enjoyed your story as well. Good luck on your journey.
Be easy on yourself. The healing comes, but sometimes it comes slowly.

so that with all the other things through my mind i decided to say some things to him about what's going on with my daughter.

Yeah we had a fakey tract presentation too. It was crazy unrealistic.
The dramatic reading was awful like you said. Sounded like Lett had a cold on the recording. Also noticed Geoff Jackson also on the reading. Nice that they are always in the forefront. So heartwarming.
It was a pretty bad example actually of one of those readings. I have heard better. That was not worthy of a part on the meeting in my opinion. It was terrible. Maybe good enough for the site, but in the back of the site somewhere lol.
The poor brother at our hall had to fake enthusiasm after the reading was done. The hall was completely deadpan when it was over. Like just dead air for a few seconds. This is what Boredom feels like, I thought to myself. lol.
for the next two weeks, wt will attempt to lay the basis for their imitation "faith" by discussing the "imitate their faith" book, chapter on the flood.
a golden opportunity to share faith strengthening details with your believing friends.
do not miss it!.
Good point.

Dang stillin, that is so true.
Mindless zombies nodding their heads and regurgitating the paragraph. Nuts...
the watchtower corporation is ripping the carpet out from under sincerity.. they teach that god knows our private thoughts, the inclinations of our heart.
how can they possibly think that it's okay to dangle a drivers license in front of a teenager under condition of baptism?
how can they possibly think it is okay to dangle renewed association with family under condition of reinstatement?.
"...those who preach humility should be the first in exemplifying it".-ray franz crisis of conscience active lurkers give this some thought
As their own problems accelerate they are starting to look like the arrogant hypocrites they really are as they continue their us against them crusade.
They are embarrassing themselves. "Pride is before a fall"
Can you say TIMBERRRRRRR!

Fink- yeah i forgot about that. The organization is the ark. Fear-mongering much?
I recently read an explanation of why so many ancient cultures have a flood story.
Everybody basically believed the earth was flat.
So, if you are living in your ancient village, and a huge flood comes and destroys your home and flood waters are as far as the eye can see, then you automatically assume the whole earth flooded. It's flat remember? So 20 ft of water floods the whole earth. Lol.
So all these goofy uneducated paranoid ancient people with their flood stories that were passed down from generation to generation and exaggerated, prove absolutely nothing.
