  List your favorite, overused scripture by JW's!

  by thedepressedsoul in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the title says it all.

  list a scripture that is way over used.. it could be a scripture that the point is completely missed by how they use it.

  it could also be one that they use so much it's as if the rest of the bible didn't exits.. my two favorite are proverbs 4:18 and ezekiel chapter 1 +a few verses.

  It has to be the one about bad association spoiling useful habits.  If I had a dime for every time one elder used this scripture, I would be able to purchase a moderately prices automobile.

  Can anyone a good reason why they are building all these new kingdom halls when most congregations are shrinking? 

  Perhaps: The old ones are falling apart because of bad construction -Or - They are managing this as a real estate development project with the intent of flipping properties for a profit (with none of the profit trickling down to the local congregations).

  Hmmm. it seems I answered my own question.

  I read the letter and it brought me back a few years ago. I routinely traveled to a location where the Watchtower had a long standing special rate in a pretty nice hotel.  I would always requested and get the JW rate.  I guess they don't like apostate doing that.

  i'm still on an old mailing list and got this recently "encouraging" me to make the pilgrimmage to mecca...i mean...bethel.

  kinda sad really.

  i have nothing against the people who run the business, they're just trying to make a buck, but i'm soooo glad i'm out of that boring cult.. did you see the governing body's invitation?

  When you see some of these old videos there is no question that he lead a rough life. But the fact that he lasted until 70 is an accomplishment. Many old rockers don's last this long.

  Both my parents have passed long before I learned TTATT. So this is a hypothetical question. But, if one of my parents died while I was in my present state of freedom from the cult, I would have no problem going to the KH. I would shake everyone's hand and give a few sloppy kisses.
