  since sir82 pretty much covered the highlights of the drivel i only have this to say about it besides total waste of time:.

  the 2 witness rule is very much still in effect for pedophilia.

  they barely covered that 10/1/12 letter to all bodies, basically the co read it and even skipped some parts.

  Yes ok to miss it. If not for the brother next to me feeding me a constant supply of candy, gum, mints, etc. I would've been fast asleep in my chair. The only interesting parts, and by interesting I really mean less boring because it was on TV, were the videos.

  The introduction and conclusion were also very strange....pre-recorded videos of Bro. Lett and Bro. Morris telling us how wonderful we are to be in service. It felt like those cheesy airline videos "..Welcome, and thank you for flying United Airlines. Please enjoy your flight.."

Pretty much it was "call legal, call legal, oh did we mention CALL F*CKING LEGAL MORONS" for any accusation, confession, evidence or no evidence, of molestation or child abuse" PERIOD! Ok next boring talk.

  Can a JWs Elder be "removed" if his wife is known as the congregation "gossip"?

  by booker-t in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i remember in my kingdom hall one of our 5 elders bro.

  "smith" had a gossipy wife sis "smith" who would be known to gossip from the time she enter the hall until she left.

  i don't know how she never was reproved or counseled for her gossiping.

  Funny thread. You want to know who the worst gossipers are in most congregations...its the pioneers, nobody home at the doors so they have to talk to each other about something.

  Many elders wives are pioneers so this makes sense. Pioneers know everything going on in the congregation. If any elders are pioneers then they are in the know all the time by default.

  Jehovah's Witnesses dismayed by new magazine format from Watchtower Society.

  wow.

  i was surprised this week by calls from active jws complaining about the new magazine format, and more begging for money from the platform.. frankly i was surprized by this reaction since this is old news to jwn members.

  i guess actually shuffling to the bookroom and grabbing the new "awake tracts" minus the inside cover forward ...awakened many sleepy, catatonic, bored jws who never read the things or go on the internet anyway.. any feedback from other areas?.

  My area reactions:

  "wow very nice"

  "to the point, no unnecessary articles"

  "these will be easier to place"

  "the work is winding down, I can tell"

  Sorry to disappoint but nothing negative. Proving my feeling that most (70-80%) of JWs will not bat an eyelash at this. There will always be dissenters but it takes an open mind to start doubting the F&DS and a JW mind is like a macadamia nut.

  When You Were Sitting During The Meetings What Were You Really Thinkng About?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i used to listen to all the stupid comments and wonder if i could sneak out of there and scram!

  even after i resigned as an elder, i went for a while and eventually began missing more and more meetings.

  but while i was there, i'd listen to comments, chuckle to myself how dumb it all was and then go home with the knowledge that my days were numbered there..

  Min I do the same thing, I never stay for the WT study

  During the meetings I think about what I will eat when I get home, sometimes I will go to the bathroom and go on my iPhone and play temple run. Also if there are any sisters wearing tight, short skirts, and there always are, I try to make out what type of underwear that they're wearing based on the outline's in the skirt. Much easier in the summer ,no pantyhose.

  Do JWs Still Feel The Need To Understand Their Teachings Or Have They Pretty Much Abandoned That Idea?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i think most jws do not know how to explain their religious beliefs.

  i don't think they could explain their views of 607 b.c.e.

  , 1914, any prophetic bible books, the old vs. the new fds understanding, the blood fraction reasoning, etc.. do you think the average witness is able to explain from the bible why they believe things as they do?.

  I think that the vast majority of witnesses really don't give a shit about their doctrines. There are still a few fanaticals in every congregation who are "armageddon mongers" and keep crying "the time of the end is close, look at the terrible weather we are having, earthquakes, etc. etc." But even these fanatics most likely wouldn't be able to explain the beliefs accurately.

  I mean the whole F&DS slave crap, seriously!

  Quick question, did you feel lonely at the meetings even though you were part of the action?

  by Theocratic Sedition in

  2. friends

  just curious, something i've noticed only lately.

  i'm in the mix within the congregation, stay late after the meeting is over, converse with quite a few people afterwards, make plans for saturday and sometimes sunday service and yet i feel so awfully alone walking to my car afterwards.

  i feel lonely when i'm talking and laughing with people after the meeting.
