  Two coins of little value? Ok! Sure (!)

  last thursday meeting was the verbal begging bowl item.

  in which having told the audience that wt doesn't ask for money... proceeded to then ask for money.. among the usual scriptures cited "honor god with your valuable things" etc was also the widows mite story "she dropped in two coins of little value..".

  and it occurred to me, two coins of little value in the uk would be two one penny coins!

  hello,i found this on the jw site.https://www.jw.org/en/bible-teachings/questions/go-to-heaven/it says:"jesus said: "no man has ascended into heaven.

  (john 3:13) he thus showedthat good people who died before him, such as abraham, moses, job, and david,did not go to heaven.

  (acts 2:29, 34).

  some years ago, i attended a jw wedding.

  marriage speaker said something which changed my life for the better, and it helps me even now.

  he told the couple: “the very make up of man and woman is such that conflicts can often arise between you.

  sparrowdown30 minutes ago30 minutes ago30 minutes agoAny halfway useful illustration that was part of any JW talk I ever heard was usually stolen from pop psychology.

  ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!

  There have been so many bad or false ones used. Or totally made up and presented as fact.

  That's because 99% of speakers are HACKS!

  I took it very seriously and actually got professional training to be very good at it.
  That turned out to be a waste of time and money now.

  By the way on PUBLIC SPEAKING.

  Even though there is a 'so-called school' for JW to learn how to speak, I found that not more than 1 or 2% were actually good at it.

  Imagine if that was the success rate for say Harvard or Princeton?

  Nothing you could have learned that is beneficial from being a JW that could not have been picked up in a 100 other places, books, TV show...

  If you go to college, by the way, you learn public speaking as well.

  Illogicality of preaching

  by venus in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  not all scripture is god-breathed.

  there are verses that also dishonor god.

  for example, subject of preaching seems to be too illogical even though it is the very basis of many sects [especially of jw organization which defines itself as the preaching organization].

  how many times have you heard that trope?.

  i found it more irritating than a dose of farmers on the bum.

  i've even said it when i was a brainwashed jobo drone.

  Anytime I run into a JW who doesn't try to pretend they didn't see m.

  I have told people -"well I still live in the same house have the same phone and email. If you miss me, just come and see me."
