Most Awkward, Embarrassing, Comical things you Experienced as a Witness ?

by flipper in

jw
friends

many of us i'm sure experienced embarrassing or comical moments as a witness.

some things we'd rather just forget , i'm sure, but some things helped us think on our feet, quickly in helping others .

here are a few of mine.

Heard that this older country, not city, brother ( great person by the way) was offering the magazines and one of the articles was on

Nuclear Fission. I heard that he said to the householder that he had heard of all types of fishing, but had never heard of nuclear fishing.

I had been joking around with my cohorts that I knew the bible all the way from "Generation to Revolution" purposely saying the names of the books incorrectly. SO I had actually been saying this more than the actual names and found myself out in service with the CO and I wind up telling the householder that our bible is like many others and goes from, you guessed it, "generations to revolutions" Right in the middle of saying this I knew what had happened and kinda knew I had messed up right there infront of God and more importantly the CO.

I then tried to explain to the CO after we left the door WHY I had messed up as I had been joking around with my friends etc, and he kinda just smiled a bit which I thought was unusual as I thought he would drop the hammer on me for that one.

A small victory over WT child indoctrination.

by trailerfitter in

over the last few years it has been a stuggle to ensure my son who is now eight years old is not indoctrinated into the rediculous world of the watchtower.

whilst i am separated from my wife she takes every opportunity to try to get him to slave for jeeehoovah (joseph stalin as i call him).

today, after a discussion i found out she has yet again tried to explain that god made the world etc, and the noahs arc story.

Great job,..

Here is a great video from Qualisoup (youtube channel) that you might want to share with your son. They also have some other great

videos for children to help them learn how to think, instead of telling them what to think.

Interview of a sister - Friday morning at the District Convention

by Red Piller in

from my memory and shortened for highlights [my comments in brackets.

i found the whole interview astonishing]:.

"sister x-, you've been a baptized servant of jehovah since 1972.. you must have seen a lot since that time".

notjustyet

I wish someone would make their exit by getting a part on the convention and then when they have the microphone say something like "I'm sorry, I keep forgetting what you all asked me to say,.. its so hard to remember what you asked me to say, please forgive me."

Or start explaing the Generation doctrine, as it was back in time around 1930s, then apologize for saying "Im so sorry, I forget that the definition of that word has changed again, it's so confusing,.. please forgive me for asking this again but what was the reason that Jesus did not just say "generations" with an S if that is what he meant to say?

Jehovah is the greater child murderer

by punkofnice in

jehovahtm is so benevolent and wonderfully merciful.

so much so he kills children without so much as a by your leave.. .

jehovahtm is surely the greater child abuser.

George Milton from Of Mice and Men is more just than Jehovah as when he kills lennie, he at least sees a need to let Lennie day dream about a better time before putting him down, and when I say "putting him down" I'm talking dispatching him. Jehovah does not want you to day dream about paradise when he would be putting you down, he wants you to know it was him that did it.

I wish I could figure out how to insert this video.

If you do watch it, please know that it shows, in the movie, a person being shot.

we all remember this passage vividly: from there elisha went up to bethel.

while he was on his way, some small boys came out of the city and jeered at him.

"go up baldhead," they shouted, "go up baldhead!

Who ever wrote that scripture was sure to be balding and had recently been made fun of for god induced male pattern baldness.

Can you take someone with you in Judicial Committee?

by zound in

i've heard of a couple of cases of a person being present (maybe wife, or friend) for support at judicial committees - is this commonly accepted by the elder committee or is it just a rarity?.

notjustyet

The elders book is clear on what is allowed to happen within a JC.

If I remember correctly, a person can bring a witness to testify on behalf of the accused but cannot jut sit there for the actual trial, if I remember reading this correctly.

I think a husband can ask to be in the room if and when his wife is the accused, but no the other way around.

I could be wrong, but that what I remember reading.
