  Memorial Bread-Break a piece off or eat whole?

  by TakeOffTheCrown in

  2. beliefs

  question for some of the old-timers in the congregation.

  did those who professed to be of the anointed and partook of the bread, did they break off a piece of the bread and then eat it; or did they take the whole piece and eat it?

  By the way, a close friend confirms that they saw GB member William Jackson partake during Memorial Services years ago in the Ridgewood congregation on the border between Brooklyn and Queens. This was a congregation to which Bill Jackson was assigned, just as other Bethelites were assigned to other NYC congregations.

  There were no supernatural events when Bill Jacksonpartook.

  Are these the Frank and Earnest shows?

  I have very vague memories of WBBR on Staten Island. I was never there, but do recall at least one occasion when I heard a coupla idjits talking "Bible this" and "Bible that" Iwas probably 8 years old and they did not seize my interest at that time.

  Now, though, they might prove an interesting diversion.

  Are you going to sell copies or host them on a website?

  My bad. Frank and Earnest were a couple of DAWN BIBLE STUDENTS guys, not JWs. Those old-time radidio shows can be had here:

  New "paradise" video preview? "Will you be there?"

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  my wife (unstuck) just saw a new 2-3 min video in her ex jw facebook feed, depicting a "paradise" scene preview.. it was complete with aerial shots and slow motion montages, with moving music.. scriptures were quoted across the screen, such as rev 21:3,4. i shazamed the music, and it came from another "worldly" album called "world of dreams.future world music" (you should see the song titles from that album!).

  is it an official wt video, or some private persons production?.

  if it is official, they seem to have once again resorted to desperate emotional manipulation tactics..... anyone else know?

  Jehovah, the Sovereign of The Universe, has given His People the right to violate copyright because copyright is simply Cesar's law. In Paradise, no one will create and everyone will get an equal share of it.

  I wonder if Latin for the unleavened bread might be "Corpus Delectable"?

  TakeOffTheCrown asked, "Nathan Natas - please, describe how you saw it being done. Was the bread always broken into pieces before being served?"

  As I recall, the matzoh was left in one piece and when someone wanted to partake, they broke off a small piece (less than one inch square) and put it in their mouths, closed their mouths and ate it.

  Nothing is worse than someone who chews with lip-smacking delight while the speaker is telling everyone why they are not worthy to partake, unless it is the person who brings their pet parrot to the affair. I never realized that parrots could partake. Who am I to judge them?

  I agree with village Idiot; that is how I always saw it done.

  As for the "emblems feast," no that sounds too far out.

  James87, it is becoming obvious that you only want to stubbornly argue with us about how you can magically get this girl to leave the Watchtower because you love your girl more than any other man has loved any other woman.

  This is your first "real relationship" with a human female, isn't it?

  You ASKED for advice, but you were never prepared to accept the advice -- you want to argue with it. We are telling you what we have seen over the course of multiple individual lifetimes and through playing sounding board numerous times for people who have made the same disastrous decision that you want to make.

  But you think we don't understand how DIFFERENT your situation is. Here's a secret: you're not different from other guys, and she's not different from other girls. Only your names are different.

  We can see evidence of the depth to which you have deceived yourself about this girl's situation and your total lack of understanding about how good relationships -- and cults -- work.

  You are uninformed and you are weak; too weak to act in your own self-interest. The psychological term is "pussy whipped." That's ALL you can think about; all your problems will be solved if you can just get to that magical pussy. You're wrong.
