WHAT IS YOUR "AFTER MEETING RITUAL? "

me ?

my after meeting ritual, is getting my suit off, and a beer in my hand....in less than 2 minutes from entering my door.

Thoughts: Convinced that my wife will never awake from the brainwashing

by goingthruthemotions in

hello all, it's been a long time since i have posted.

well, things have not changed on my end.

i am still going thru the motions.

Asking questions doesn't always work. Even though my wife woke up, asking questions made her upset. She said I was being condescending by asking questions. She said it felt like I was trying to teach her.

So, fair warning...that doesn't always work.

What ended up working for me was backing off. Instead of sharing the PBS Newshour special on Conti and saying, "LOOK AT HOW HORRIBLE THE ORGANIZATION IS!" I shared the special with her with no comment other than, "Story about JW's on PBS. Check it out." She watched it and got pissed off at the organization and was finally open to a real discussion.

'Clergy' and 'Ordained Ministers'

by OrphanCrow in

what i can't seem reconcile are the concepts of 'clergy' and 'ordained minister'.. the wts has consistently won legal battles, specifically in cases involving military exemption, by making the claim that each and every baptized jw is an 'ordained minister'.

and, they bolstered this label with the assertion that 'we do not have a clergy class'.

so, why is that different now in the sex abuse trials that happening right now?

I kind of agree, I was off topic. But, if we refer back to the OP, there are much more serious things to get upset about than someone going off topic or not "contributing" in a manner you deem meaningful.

Wow, that was the most boring talk - ever. That guy was filled with such self-importance that it was unwatchable.

Yeah, this is par for the course for morning worship programs. It's a main reason why I skipped whenever possible while I was up there.

c) they are desperate and could only come up with the Saul/David story to build their case.

If you read between the lines, the real reason they brought up the Saul/David story is to make this point: "remained respectful of Saul’s position as God’s anointed one, refusing to attack, even when he had many opportunities to do so."

So don't you DARE attack Jehovah's anointed ones (the GB) by becoming apostates, even though you have a legitimate complaint.

"There is NEVER a reason to stop serving ~~Jehovah~~ the Governing Body."

Phone call from a brother last night

by label licker in

friends

the brother and his wife thought the statement at the end of this month's broad cast show was a little off.

the org stated that jehovah's organisation can not be corrupted.

(needless to say only three had shown up for the broadcast meeting at the hall) he's never heard that before so we filled him in as to what the org has been up to and gave him jwnet, jw facts as well as jw survey to look at.
