What are married women called who attend pioneer school?

by usualusername in

jw
friends

many many many years ago i attended the pioneer and have just recalled that the married sisters were listed on paper as mr jane doe (mrs) or something peculiar like that.. .

is that custom still followed?.

it will be interesting in a generation or two when both a husband and wife with hyphonated names will then hyphonate their already hyphonated names for these ridiculous surnames 4+ names long.

Southpark did a great skit on this in the hygrogen car episode.

Husband = Smith, wife=Parker which becomes Smith-Parker

Husband = Jones, wife=Wilson which becomes Jones-Wilson

So then what? their kids marry and become Smith-Parker-Jones-Wilson? Its not about ownership anymore, its about having a family name. I'd rather see the husband take the wifes last name than to hyphonate.

666 and the Governing Body CONNECTION!!!

by raymond frantz in

.

why would an organisation that knows so much about numbers and their use in the bible choose to develop their structure around the number 6?.

ASK AN ELDER ABOUT THIS VERSE

by The Searcher in

millions of witnesses believe in "new scrolls", based on the following "spirit directed teachings";.

"will jehovah use his holy spirit in the coming new world?

that spirit will be the force behind the new scrolls that will be opened at that time".

11 Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. The earth and the heavens fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books.

it would be very easy for a JW to counter that the books used for judging were the former "books" (plural) highlited in yellow, and that the book (singular) is the "new" book, or a book with yet unknown contents. After all, they were judged by the "books", not by the "book" (singular).

this type of semantics is so observable in WT theology. I think of "Time, times and half a time"

They can always weasel their way in and out of anything with baseless false logic.

On another note, I am sad to see that Oompa was the last poster on this thread before me. I miss my buggy-eyed brother....

I miss the in depth topics about WTS false teachings....

are we bored with the wts now?

have we heard it all already?.

or is the wts just not printing "deep" articles anymore?

Within 24 hours of publishing, an interested party can retrieve a full commentary on the spiritual vomit that the WT posted and the commentary ends up being more exciting than the article.

I have to wonder if this was a contributing reason for the reduction in pages/larger margins/larger font/reduction in substance (meat). Their writers have to feel like they're in a corner.

good point

Satanus - Family. that's it

I have been inactive for 4 years, no service, no comments. (one exception - conductor once asked what big change ocurred in 1995. Needless to say I was the ONLY one in the audience that knew it was the dumping of generation 1914, so of course I commented. How ironic)

Anyhow, other than one newbie elder that just moved into my KH, no one has ever asked me why I am inactive or why I don't comment and I am still included in social gatherings. Why after 4 years no one has asked? BECAUSE NO ONE CARES

Or at least it seems to be that way.

Daring heart is right, they just know what days to come to the KH

blues, ameilia,

i agree with you both.

but at the same time I do feel bored with the WTS. maybe its just me. I just feel like the stuff they're churning out now is so ridiculous that I don't even have the energy to string together an argument against it.

It seems that if someone is so ignorant to not have their eyes pop out of their heads when they read this stuff, then how could I ever use rational thought to convince them otherwise?

I can't beleive I am still stuck inside this stupid cult. I guess focus on the fact that none of the JW's in my life me really cares anyway so why should I?

Or is the WTS just not printing "deep" articles anymore? Just seems like everything now is about shunning and listening only to the GB.

I hope they study the Revelation book again. That always opens up great avenues for discussion of insane WTS teachings....

Elders finally took me to the back room...

by OneDayillBeFree in

after several months of leaving the meetings as soon as they ended or only staying for "the first meeting" then leaving the "second part", the elders finally cornered me at last night's meeting.. they said they were concerned about me and that being that i am a young brother in a recently divided congregation they saw so much potential in me to help out the congregation and become a ms.. i told them i was thankful for their thinking of me to help the congregation but that at the moment i could not due to my job.

then the began asking personal questions that got on my nerves.. they asked where i worked and how much i made.

they asked if i was going to college and what i was studying and for how long.

wallsofjericho

they are for sure going to nab you again. You certainly did not give them the meek little sheep scared of the sheperd feeling they were looking for.

You definitely triggered their spidey-senses. Get ready for more

I opened up an app that makes it look as if someone is calling you and set it for 5 minutes... And just before they could ask any further, it went off and I kindly but firmly asked to be excused.

LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!! GENIUS!!!!!!!

A picture so outrageous, it deserves its own thread...

by cedars in

i mean no disrespect to sd-7 or his fine thread on which this picture has already featured, but i think it is just so ridiculous that it deserves a thread all of its own.. lurkers and apologists, this is how your precious organization views itself.... behold the madness.... .
