  Interesting Comment From an Active Elder

  by DarioKehl in

  i was recently speaking to an elder "off the record" while helping him do some house repairs.

  i have a comfortable enough relationship to speak openly with him about things, but am careful to disclose the extent of my disbelief in wt doctrine.

  anyway, this guy wouldn't last a day in the mafia because he can't keep anything confidential.

  What does that mean? How can an overlap add up to a few more decades? 2013-1914=99 years old today if just born in 1914--in decades, they will certainly be all dead.

  Decades? more like centuries.. or another mullinium... it's the generation who saw the generation of the gerenation whom witnessed the 1914 generation pass away .. they are ones who see the fulfilment of all these things

  geez ..silly .. and thats barely enough time to get the required quota of Watchtower studing done...

  great post DK.. just having fun..

  the last time I spoke to my Sister.. 15years ago.. she said "Tate there's 10 maybe 20 years left.. and that barely enough time to get strong enough in the truth to make it.. "

  LOL ..

  when the show intervention came out ... it was amazing how vicious and violent the gambling addicts could get..

  I remember one who berated his Mom to give him money for his rent .. which was true... then, when he got the money , he realised he could gamble it get the rent money and extra money for him self.. he lost it all..

  gambling addiction is placing the bet for the high... It's like buying crack As the high.. and not doing it.. and buying it again.. at least with drugs .. you are on the drugs for awhile till you buy more ..

  not that any addiction is good or better .. but gambling is worse than most know.. the quickest finacial ruin..

  Not meaning to sound sexist : In general are women more emotional/feel good about religion,and men more proof/doctrinal in their acceptance ?

  i`m just speaking from my own experience here ,and it has occured to me that over the 33 years i was a witness and in the six congrgations i was a part of , except for a few exceptions, the majority of sisters in the congregations did not have a grasp of the so called deeper things of god,according to wt theology, sure they could run off " bible topics for discussion" sermons but very few could take a discussion any further than that.whereas i was aware that males seemed more likely to delve deeper into, not only the scriptures,but also the wt interpretations as a whole.

  don`t get me wrong a few women left me for dead in their comprehension of topics ,but i`m just saying overall i found this to be the case ... my experience... smiddy.

  THE TRUTH is like a diaper

  the truth is like a diaper.

  this is why they change it so often.. the older truth is like the older diaper.

  that is why it isn't good for anything.. new light is like the fresh diaper.

  Women: Are they Equal to Men ?

  by villagegirl in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  one of the hard core doctrines of the wt society, and many other religions, is that women are to be in "subjection" to men.. in the bible, in genisis , it says the domination of women by men came after adam and eve disobeyed god.

  eve was cursed by pain in childbirth and that from then on as a curse: "he shall rule over you " from then on the male was to dominate the female.. but that was not in the original plan.

  this was a reversal of the plan and a curse.

  What are the things you dislike most about JW's?

  by Chariklo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  top of my list has to be hypocrisy.

  it runs right through, from elders downwards.

  the literature and the gb are bad enough, but the bit that touches ordinary people, householders, students and ordinary rank and file is the false goodness that they put on like a raincoat.
