When Did You Stop Saying Amen

by BroMac in

jw
friends

for prayers from the platform.. i've "said my own" for a few years now if i find i cant agree with what the brother is praying about.

i'm constantly amazed by the same old repetitive ramblings and just nonsense that some brothers feel is an acceptable way to pray for a congregation.. once i've finished saying my own i'll listen again to what they are going on about, and round and round they go.

the worse ones are those who can hardly speak english and i cant understand a word thats said apart from the "...feffull slive... bless bruders sis not here..." blah blah.. and everyone has gone through the public talk prayer.

man oh man

I am surprised we don't pray in the gb name. Yikes! after all they are our mediator. hehe

Victoria, Australia: Report on Oct. 11th hearing involving Steven Unthank

by AndersonsInfo in

victoria, australia: report on oct. 11th hearing involving steven unthank.

(this report is from an anonymous xjw who attended the hearing.

i had no plans to turn up to the court hearing as an observer, as in my experience, it can take several hearings and a number of months before any court case gets rolling.

man oh man

This is going to make a great apostate book. Can't wait to hear the ending. So far every step of the way this has brought excitement. I so hope the gb go down!!! Steven Unthank you are the man!

It's the closest thing to the Truth...

by garyneal in

this is what my jw wife has been saying as of late when it seems like she has no way to defend the doctrines of 1914, blood, as well as their false predictions, etc.. i've seen on this board where others have encountered this come back as well.

it seems that the witnesses are getting a little slack and it makes me wonder how they can justify their position of their religion being the only true religion.. first off, being the "closest thing to the truth" implies that the truth itself is known.

therefore, if the truth is known, why settle for being in a religion that is 'the closest thing to it?

man oh man

It's the closest thing to the Truth...

This is what I said when I had many doubts. Said enough times that I had to start searching. Now I would say it's the furthest thing from the Truth...

recent epiphany 14....my wifes door to door disclaimer...

by oompa in

jw
friends

so recently i realized again via nutjob cults in the news that when you predict the end of world and fail...some people notice...and you have to cover your ass and say something happened invisibly right?...sounds familar i know.... so i tell wife to from now on knock on doors and say "hi, im one of jehovahs witnesses and even though we predicted for one hundred and forty consecutive years that the world would end in the twentieth century...i would still like you to accept my free home bible study".

of course i cant even get her to look inside an awake cover from before 1995 where indeed it says this....and prior to 19oo russell preached the end would occur in 1914 starting in 1874 i believe and that jesus had already come invisibly of course.

and then i realizied that the scripture is so simple it does not need interpretation...."nobody can know the day nor hour...not even the son" or something like that...so isnt it ironic that the entire basis for this religion as founded by russell was for that exact same reason!!!

man oh man

stay alive until 75.......owe sorry thats an old one

exit party like you have never seen starting in 2014!

That crazy FDS and the GB connection...or lack thereof.

by Aussie Oz in

the whole fds and the gb representing them is a huge jump of impossible logic.... if the wt do not by their own admission, count the annointed nor know how many real ones there are, if they dont consult the remaining ones, the faithful slave how the hell can the gb 'represent' them?.

i mean, how can i for example tell the world that i represent the people of my town in parliment if not only have they never met me, i have never so much as asked one single towns person anything?

if i don't even know how many people live in my town?

man oh man

The part about this that cracks me up is it is causing a division between the gb and some of the annointed. There calling each other names even. They are starting their own blogs and websites. It is quite hilarious. Will the real apostate please stand up!

Who's Cult is it Anyway...???

by Bells in

firstly - i am not, and never have been a witness.

my bf's family are all witnesses and i have been looking into the religion lately to try to get a better understanding of where they're coming from.

(btw, my bf is not a witness - he was thankfully never baptised and he just walked away from it about 13 years ago).

man oh man

I'd say it belongs to the people at the top. They get lifetime benefits. They get worship from those below them. They are on rotation according to how long they live. Some may wish to change the situation but can't for fear of losing what they have. the organisation seems to have a life of its own. Its only true enemy that being time will eventually destroy it. I hope i live long enough to WITNESS that.
