This takes the cake

by Sour Grapes in

today during the public talk the speaker said that satan was behind the new modern phones, which are like mini computers, so that the world would have easy access to pornography..

Just another example of the "signs" of the "unravelling" of the org. To me, the main "vibe" of a, so called, Christian org, should be love, and living in harmony with who, and whats around us. Instead, we see the increasing "vibe" of the org. is hate, fear, attacking, paranoia, and a continued demand for unquestioning "loyalty", even if it goes against your instincts as a human being.

For this man to specifically say something like a modern, computerized cell-phone, was CREATED by Satan, just reeks of paranoia, and a "back woods", out of touch with reality, mind-set. How DOES he KNOW, that Satan created this specific type of cellular phone? Does he have an "inside track" to Satans doings? Does this crusty, old, out of touch, idiot, speak to Satan often?

Yes, brothers, I spoke to Satan lastnight, and he has indeed confirmed that he made the latest cellphone version, and specifically wanted it to have an extra clear picture, for "money shots", and anal. PSYCHO!!!

Last Days? Are you serious ....?

by Aleph in

believing we live in the last days?.

Dunedain

@ - Bonzai - Its true that we have the technology to nearly wipe out all of the planet, at this time, BUT i guarantee you if we were alive during the BLACK PLAGUE, which was many centuries ago, we would have been thinking THOSE WERE the last days. Almost half the Earths known population DID die from the black plague.

Hello everyone!

ive been lurking for a while and finally got around to registering.

about me: i was essentially born in & indoctrinated from youth.

i was always a borderline "bad association" type because i always did the minimum and always disagreed with much of what was taught; even when i was a child.. luckily for me my father was never a jw so i never had to endure the male head pressure.

Dunedain

@ - Planetsmashers - Welcome, and i would have hated to have to endure with " male head pressure ", too. Lol, sorry, i couldnt resist, male head pressure just sounded too funny to me, but we know what ya meant, dont worry.

"Sorry, sister; but the CO said he isn't going to visit anyone durind the Special Week."

third post about the big disappointments that woke me up.

i'm writing them in no particular order.

these episodes made me bitter when they happened.

Dunedain

@ - Tempest in a teacup - I dont blame you for being discouraged, and feeling slighted by that CO's actions. The sad thing is, that probably 90% of us here have had similar experiences of being treated very unlovingly by Elders, CO's, and many others, "professing" to be true christians, but showing themselves to be true frauds.

You need to marry a ministerial Servant!

by John Aquila in

a single sister in her 40s and her two single daughters were visiting my mom.

i would say her daughters are in their early 20s.

my mom got sleepy and we put her to bed but the three sisters stayed to finish their drinks..

Dunedain

BTW, rumor has it, that ministerial servants, can shit GOLD, and their farts smell like angel's breath. They have also been known to, occassionaly walk on water, and urinate carbonated soda.

Any funny stories of when a"brother" giving a talk, said something "funny" or "questionable", and didn't even realize it?

by Dunedain in

there were always all types of speakers in the org.

myself, growing up a "witness", must have heard all types of talks, and given by all manner of speakers, especially on sundays, when almost every week we would get a "visiting" brother giving the public talk.. sometimes, you would have a "great" speaker, all fluent and animated.

other times we would get a comical speaker, one who would maybe purposelly get a few laughs outta the audience.

Dunedain

Oh Geez, they are starting to come back to me now. I got another one i just remembered, lol.

My family and i was visiting a different congregation one Sunday, cause my father was giving the public talk. Anyway, this congregation was in a totally different kingdom hall, in a completely different neighborhood, and the hall must have been an older building.

So, when it was time for the Watchtower study, the conductor, who was an older black brother, was half way thru the study, when the heating furnace, which was behind the stage, started "acting up" and making these loud BANGING noises.

The brother conducting the Watchtower, stops mid sentence, and yells, " BROTHER ANDERSON, IS BROTHER ANDERSON HERE, BROTHER ANDERSON, GET UP ON HERE, WE HAVING DAMN EXPLOSIONS GOING ON UP HERE "

Evidentally, i am assuming, Brother Anderson must have been in charge of the furnace, lol.

There is a scripture, somewhere in the old testament, cant recall it exactly, but where it was speaking about " boiling kids in their own milk ", of course these scripture was talking about "kids" being baby GOATS.

Well the brother was reading that scripture, for the bible reading, and after reading it he commented, " brothers, can you IMAGINE, these people were actually boiling their own CHILDREN in their own mothers milk ". He was appalled, and aghast, and continued his talk, about how much the nation of Isreal had "fallen from grace", that they were even boiling their children in milk, lol.

Stupid, knucklehead, thought they were talking about human children, instead of baby GOATS, lol.

Talking to Jesus

by Kiana in

hi.. do jehovah's witnesses talk to jesus?.

thanks..

Dunedain

Nobody on Earth, right now talks to Jesus, and he definitely doesn't talk back, either. Jehovahs Witnesses, do beleive in Jesus, and say he was a form of their ransom, some of JW's beliefs about Jesus, are questionable, though, but ANY beliefs in Jesus can be questioned. Also JW's pray to Jehovah only, but in Jesus name, at the end of their prayers. They do NOT pray directly to Jesus. Many of JW's teachings concerning Jesus, and worshipping him, like Listener said above, have changed drastically over the years.

While they do "beleive" in Jesus, and that he is a ransom, in recent years, JW's adoration and feelings for Jesus have become less and less, while MORE reverance is given to Jehovah, AND the Governing Body, even more than Jesus himself. Some even say, that many Elders in the JW congregations, are more revered than even Jesus, himself. But, lastly, NO Jehovahs witnesses, or any other humans now on Earth, speak with Jesus.

@ - Morpheus - That video is great. Do you know anything about it? Like, was it made by exJW's, or who was behind it? Very "ingenius", in its own way. I appreciate if you got any background info on it, thanks.
