i just learned the the kingdom halls have a coded phone number for listening in on the sunday meetings.
for my area the phone number is 623-748-1908. when it asks you for the code dial 623293. you can enter the number of listeners and you are counted in attendance.
i just wanted to let everyone here know and see what everyone's thought's were..
If you dial in but don't want your incoming phone number being logged, dial *67 before dialing the phone number (in the U.S.; I don't know how you do it elsewhere.)
The hall I apostasized from used KHCONF and they changed the passcode every month. The administrator code was 111111 for a long time, but now they've changed it to something else, so I can't eavesdrop anymore.
sooo i was a ministerial servant (omg a ministerial servant on this site!?
you apostate!!!
) yea yea i just wanted to see what other people think and whatever, coz i had a few questions myself, (butttt its not like i was about to start throwing them with rocks and stuff, they arent that bad).
There was one thing they said to you that tells you everything you need to know about the Jehovah's Witness religion.
They told you that you shouldn't ask so many questions.
A group that tells you that you need to OBEY and STOP ASKING QUESTIONS is dangerous. It is a CULT.
Never, ever let anyone tell you to stop asking questions. That is unacceptable.

Interesting. So it originated much earlier.
But I still believe Lett borrowed Ankerberg's version. This version just says "bird." Ankerberg's version is a parakeet. What are the chances that Lett would choose a parakeet without having heard Ankerberg's version? (Or whoever first said parakeet.)
examining the scriptures daily.
interesting.

Oh hell, I see me an email address that goes to bethel!
Friends, I think it's time to sign up [email protected] for a LOT of spam.
ok, my subject is totally joking, but i really do need some advice.
i purchased a $7 dollar keychain digital picture viewer from ebay.
it arrived in the mail, i uploaded a bunch of pictures....and then realized its a piece of crap.
I say send it. If your niece develops a relationship with you when she's older, you will be able to honestly say: "I tried to stay in touch with you." Don't give up. That's my opinion.
does jehovah know what is going on, and does he help?.
(as told by bro.
spangenberg, c.o.
| In Florida, a Hall building was delayed, because the basement hadn't been back filled and the brothers had no means to do so. While the inspectors were at the site, a bulldozer showed up, did the job, and drove off. He told his boss he'd finished the job at the Hall. The boss replied, "'Hall'!? I told you to go to the 'mall!'" The job was done at No expense to the brothers. |
So god caused a miracle to happen so that this congregation could get free backfilling done. Yet god ignores the prayers of people who are sick and dying of cancer. No miracles for them. Or when a child is kidnapped, like Jaycee Dugard, and held prisoner for 18 years, being raped and abused. Throughout those 18 years, God ignored hundreds or even thousands of prayers from her devastated parents, and possibly prayers from her, to please help her get out and go back to her parents. He ignores millions... BILLIONS of prayers from people who have life-or-death problems that they're facing.
But the one prayer he answers is from a congregation in Florida who wants to get free backfilling done at their hall.
Yeah. Right. Uh huh.
If this were true and it actually WAS a case of god providing a miracle to this congregation, when he ignores the pleas of hundreds of millions of people worldwide, I would say: Fuck you, God. I hope you burn in hell.

The next time Lett wants to borrow some lines from John Ankerberg, maybe he could get it from Ankerberg's flyer, "Free Jehovah's Witnesses", available here:

Hmmm, good catch on the pinkie ring. I hadn't noticed it. When I was an elder, I went through a phase where I wore one. One time after I got off of the stage, an older elder asked me why I wore a pinky ring. I said I just like it. He said that he and another elder had discussed it, and it was stumbling some in the congregation, so they requested that I stop wearing it.
jesus said in the gospels: when you see jerusalem surrounded by encamped armies then the appointed time of the gentiles has arrived,so it wasn't the first attack in 587 bce.
but jesus said the words,,,,"will be,points to the 2nd attack in about the year 70 ad.
,yes into the future people"!so the idiots that dreamt up 607 bce.
The GB knows that 1914 is a problem. I went through the CD ROM and found that 1914 is being mentioned less often in Watchtower literature.

Did Stephen Lett "follow the pattern of tracing all things with accuracy" when he decided to borrow his illustration from an evangelist who calls Witnesses "false teachers" and "unchristian"?
Silly Governing Body. They should hang out on sites like this one if they want to REALLY learn the truth about their own religion.
