Midweek meeting video

by aboveusonlysky in

did anybody see the service meeting video this week?.

australian sister was sexually abused as a child and thought of ending her life at 14 years old, sometime later jw's call on her father who accepts a study and eventually the whole family becomes witnesses, life gets much better as the sister immerses herself in pioneering etc, she still has some dark days but prayer along with going for walks and swimming has helped her cope with bad memories of child abuse, the new system (just around the corner) will completely fix everything......... i'm dumbfounded, the hypocrisy has literally rendered me speechless......comments anybody?.

Life is to short 2
Listenar
You make a very good point about it being harmful, every since I have seen it I have been in such a depression. I wonder how many others have been affected like me.
I am going to my counselor next week and it is one of the first thing's I am going to show her, I really want her take on it

Over on a staunch JW site, some of the "sisters" are talking about how much viewing it upset them.

This was a dumb thing for the Org to do. It shows no sensitivity or awareness on their part.

I am sorry you have been feeling down about it all.

Much love and respect to you Life is to short.

Are quality restaurants even slightly aware of the concept..

by The Rebel in

jw
friends

of providing high quality food?.

personally i prefer the small restaurants with a owner who cooks the food.

often the food is equally imaginative and just as tasty as the more expensive restaurant.

Sysco not Cisco...just in case anyone wants to order their food directly from there LOL

rebel, it sounds like flowers might be in order.....or a nice little hand written note.

What's Is The Goal Of This Religion?

by pale.emperor in

what's is the goal of this religion?.

i mean, if it's for money they could do a lot more like other religions do: tithing, paying for prayers from the gb, selling "miracles", selling "blessed" items, selling courses.. if its for power then what are they hoping to do with that power?

they dont seem to do anything.

All the above thoughts seem completely accurate.

One additional thing that might keep them from moving in a good direction is the old "death by committee" axiom.

I suspect there is tremendous in-house fighting for control right now.

So many U.S. restaurants are really just clearing houses for Cisco. The food comes off the truck, gets re heated or reconstituted, put on a pretty platter and served.

This is especially true of desserts. Very few places make a dessert in house anymore.

Looks like they are tossing some regurgitated material out to the masses in various combo platters.

Maybe they got too many complaints about the lack of handouts?

till yesterday it seems my world was very quiet.

my kids and friends kept telling me you are so hard of hearing.

finally i got tired of asking them to repeat what they had just said.

So happy with your good results Rebel!

That was really fun to read and see (or I should say "hear") it all through your viewpoint.

When GB Members Travel...Do They Stay With Members?

by Cold Steel in

or do they stay at hotels?

do most jws know who's on the governing body?

if one just showed up at church would he be immediately recognized?

millie210

As to how they fill a vacancy....

The ~~self~~ ahem, "GOD" appointed existing members pick him!

Seeing a pattern here? Yikes!

Their flagrant nepotism make the "smoke and chimney" group look downright legitimate.

Anthony Morris III Autobiography ... The Real Truth

by Wild_Thing in

jw
friends

the watchtower published anthony morris iii's autobiography last year ... "remembering my first love has helped me to endure" by anthony morris iii.

i absolutely cannot believe how quickly he became a jehovah's witness.

in the span of less than a year, he attended his first meeting, studied, got baptized, became a pioneer, and married a jw girl.

millie210

Awesome!

How did you know that is one of my favorite songs?

I had never thought about your line about the "tower" but I totally see it!

How about "clouds of mystery pourin' confusion on the ground"?

That should fit concerning their publications maybe?

Coming Out To My JW Sister

by Ame SF in

now, i have been mentally "awake" for quite a while, but i'll just say march/april this year.

i won't go into detail about what it was that made me "realize" everything, so don't bother asking.. so, i've known for years that i wasn't like most girls in my classes, kingdom hall, and just in general.

from a very young age i had that obvious interest in the same sex, but seeing as i was seemingly the only one feeling that way i would brush it off and eventually i started getting interested in guys.

What a beautiful moment between you and your sister Anne.

Thank you for sharing it and I wish you all the best.
