How many of you remember the "Pioneer Shuffle " and the special "time reporting" of pioneers?

by Foolednomore in

jw
friends

i started pioneering in my late teens an remember how slow pioneers would walk to the doors while out in circus.

also, they would not really talk to anybody at all.

they would start their time as soon as they got dressed an out the door, while us regular shucks started our time at the first door we knocked at.

My pioneering only lasted three days. I quit got a real job.

Watchtower says you can be Disfellowshiped for being Fat!

by Witness 007 in

watchtower 1974 p.167 "by disobediently over indulging in food and making a glutton of himself he shows no love for jehovah..in the presents of others does he ignore their needs and selfishly take more then his fair share?

is he grossly overweight gorging himself?

does he feel uncomfortable even getting sick...this person has no place in the congregation of god...they will not inherit gods kingdom.".

That would apply to half of the congregation I was in! Elders and Pioneer s included.

Pat Robertson makes one last ''doomsday prediction''

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

pat roberston,92, comes out of his million dollar mansion ( which his loyal followers paid for ) to continue his doomsday prediction.

pat needs to make one last appearance to show his followers he was right all along.

after all his failed predictions on his ''700 club,'' pat needs to show his followers that this ''doomsday prediction'' is a bible prophecy.

I too consider myself as non religious more of a Buddhist, new age. I find groups like Jwism and others that don't serve any real purpose to the community as parasites and to be avoided.

Why do you call yourselves "apostates?"

by Marbles in

well let me clarify the question.

i know you call yourselves apostates because the bible defines people who leave their previously held beliefs as apostates.

my question means, if the bible is not true (and i don't think it is) then there is no such thing as an apostate.i have never been a jw, only a bible student with them.

Foolednomore

Apostate seems to fit in Watchtower world. And name calling is so High School.

Are They Letting the Organization Go?

by pistolpete in

interesting idea by;.

fabian strategy warrior.

to many of you, this idea might seem absurd, but is it?.

Foolednomore

This was my problem with the Borg. I would study and start having questions. When I would go to an elder with a question, I would get the usual " Wait on Geehovah " or " That's getting Close to being Apostasy " just over questions.

04-2022 Q from Readers on Divorce

by Rattigan350 in

any comments on the 04/2022 question from readers on divorce and remarriage.. "if a christian divorces his wife without scriptural grounds and then marries another person, how does the congregation view the previous marriage and the new marriage?".

why does that even matter how the congregation views anything?

they should be minding their own business.. if people move to a different area, the congregation wouldn't even know about.. (if a guy remarries a woman with the same first name, she would end up with the same name and no one would know).

Foolednomore

I was Divorced from abusive partner. The congregation, the elders told me that I could not remarry. If I would remarry it would not be scriptural. This reason #15 why I'm no longer a Jw.

Why the King of South (USA) is in the Northern Hemisphere?

by pistolpete in

there's been a lot of talk among jws, that this is it with russia (king of the north) pushing and shoving against the (king of the south usa).

but look at the world map below on the link, and notice that usa is in the northern hemisphere.. meaning the king of the south must be none other than -----------argentina .

that's so funny that jws still can't figure it out that they are being conned to the max.
