  with the upcoming elections, the campaigns and political rhetoric are ramping up.

  (ramping up is an understatement lol) .

  i remember a few years ago, gb member brother herd mentioned during one of his talks that several witnesses were either reproved or disfellowshipped for voting for a certain presidential candidate who won...twice.

  I remember a few years ago, GB member Brother Herd mentioned during one of his talks that several witnesses were either reproved or disfellowshipped for voting for a certain presidential candidate who won...twice. He said that the biggest reason or excuse they gave was ibecause they wanted to be part of history.

  I personally know of one former sister that mentioned to me that (even though she is now disassociated) she has voted in every presidential election since Kennedy, even though she was a witness for about 20 years during that time

  Is it possible that more witnesses secretly vote In elections? Could it be a lot more vote than they think? I know most Witnesses will never admit that they do for obvious reasons. But as I’ve mentioned in a previous post, I’ve noticed more and more political comments creep in here and there among some of them

  Anyone else have a similar observation past or present?

  Biden apologized yesterday so I’m sure all will be forgiven.😈

  It was a damage control half hearted apology because of all the backlash.

  Biden is a dope. Always was. His ego was always larger than his intelligence.

  Honestly, like Bernie, he is much too old to withstand the physical and mental requirements needed to be President. If he gets elected, he will be 78. At the end of his first term he will be 82. If by chance he goes for a second term, he will be 86 at the end of that. Sorry, his hopes and dreams are just unrealistic.

  I’m no doctor and even if I was, a diagnosis isn’t possible without an examination, but he does show some outward signs of a decline of some of his mental processes.

  If he is elected, as President, he will repeatedly say the wrong thing at the wrong time to the wrong people.

  Besides those born in, i believe most join/ convert because at first, it gives a person a sense of belonging. You are definitely part of something. Part of an organization And have a place in it. Either a publisher, pioneer, and for men. MS, or elder. At first, a person is love bombed and accepted. But then, as you progress and eventually get baptized, you are expected to accept everything they say. Your so called friends will no longer be your friends if you stray from the truth.

  Why do the Elders stress the importance of meeting attendance....

  by Davros in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  why do the elders always stress to the rank and file members of the congregation how important meeting attendance is, as well as the importance of always paying attention to every word that's being presented from the slave?

  but then, during the meeting, they rarely sit and pay attention themselves to the wonderful spiritual banquet being presented?

  they always seem so busy, don't they?

  They always seem so busy, don't they? Always getting up and going to the back office, or walking back to make a phone call, or a few of the elders and suck up MS meeting among themselves during the meeting in the office or hallway or auxiliary room behind closed doors. Can't these things wait until after the meeting?

  Or is it that, (and I know the answer to this already), they are just too good for, or don't want to hear the drivel that comes from the platform? Nah, couldn't be that!!!!

  Midweek Meeting looooooooong prayers.

  by Davros in

  one thing that aggravates me is long concluding prayers, especially at the midweek meeting.

  you work all day, rush home, grab a quick bite, dress up in meeting clothes.

  then, go to the meeting.

  At the memorial a couple of years ago, an elderly brother was chosen to say the opening prayer. He started the prayer with: Jehovah our father in heaven, oh this is a most sacred night. ‘‘Twas Nisan 14 and your glory was seen......and he just droned on and on and on........ really, your using a now defunct kingdom song as your opening prayer?

  Oh...how I can relate to this thread! You'd think Davros & I attend the same congregation

  I won’t tell if you won’t 🤐😬

  but seriously it’s not a talk. It’s supposed to be a prayer. So many self righteous around. Guess they are just about everywhere.

  Then, go to the meeting. Listen to not only the parts, but the comments, most of which are just so repetitive. Yes, Sister Self-Righteous just made the same point 2 comments ago. Then listen to the recap and what’s coming up next week.

  THEN, they call on Brother Blabbermouth who doesn’t shut up to give the concluding prayer, but he’s not really giving a prayer, he’s giving another talk, it’s ANOTHER recap of the meeting and it’s the same points we just heard three or more times already.

  It’s late, most people are tired and want to go home. But Brother Blabbermouth won’t shut the blank up. 5 to 7 minute prayer sometimes. Drives me nuts.

  No, that doesn't sound right. Anyway, a phone number is all that is needed for texts to be sent out. Who they have their phone service through doesn't come into play at all. Unless one of the elders is trying to get as many people to switch over to a particular carrier as part of some sort of business or pyramid scheme he may be involved in.
