  I remember how the Mormons had their visions of new light when they got into trouble in the legal sense, for not accepting the blacks into the their preast hood. the Witness's will do this same thing, they will say we have new light on this matter, but they will do it with such coy that the stupid followers will just smile with aprovel.

  i used to get into trouble for making light of the these phrases that some elders have told me are to be used only gods people.

  lol that you all may know maybe:.

  "well, brother that is very "commendable," just before the meeting ends the po says to those in attendance "brothers the time left is reduced," i once heard a co say to those seated during one of his talks "well now, we don't want to die at armageddon now do we, well of course not.

  This is becoming to dam funny folks, here is one that for some reason sticks in my mind "In like manor", and "those who have wifes behave as though you have none," as a young man I was asked to say a prayer, at around ten years old, I had heard some old brother say near the end of his prayer "King redeamer", so I ended my prayer by saying Winger dinger, hell I did not know any better. "There are still some of you saaving seats," and "please brothers and sisters only one person in a family go to the food stands", I got so tired of this one "There are still reports of brothers not useing the rooming department," and of course this one The need is great but the workers are few," remember this one "Parents! are you encouraging Bethel service,". For some reason i got this phrase in my head "the elements being intensely hot will melt and the stars of the heavens will pass away with a hissing noise," I may have misquoted that, its been a while, all I know is I heard it all the time, and it sacred the shit out of me.

  "Well, brother that is very " commendable ," just before the meeting ends the PO says to those in attendance "brothers the time left is reduced," I once heard a CO say to those seated during one of his talks "well now, we don't want to die at Armageddon now do we, well of course not." When I first grew some hair above my lip at a very young age say like 14 a older brother said to me " brother do you think that hair on your lip is going to get you into the new order," here is one: an Elder speaks to the congergation in terms like the "friends", as though we are all frinds I never could understand that. Well anyone have any more so called Witness phrases that are only really used a lot by those in power or in the thick of it its fun to see how many we can come up with, I got more, they come to my mind when I am stressed its weird. laughing, Pepper

  It is not a lovely ceramoney, you have elders standing over your sholder breathing down your neck, even if you go to a private place they will find out that you drank to much cold duck; traditions are what make life have meaning the Witness's take fun out of life, with all their do's and don't's, they are a as bad as the first centry Jews.

  The Watchtower . October 01, 2002 Page 19 paragraph 2.

  " By submiting to the slave class, God's people also show their subjection to the master, Jesus Christ. Such subjection has taken on additional significance in modern times because of Jesus's enlarged authority, as foretold in Jacob's deathbed prophecy."

  Do not the Witness's say to others: "come now let use reason on matter's"? Then let us all do so then concerning this and please lets start a thread about this, the Pope of the Catholic church sets him self as the same as Christ or at the very least his spokesman, and yet he is looked down upon by the Jehovah's Witness's for doing this, please exsplain?

  2. friends

  so i was at the 'memorial' last night (that's a whole other story) and i got into a converstaion with an elder afterwards.

  i asked him why no figure had been printed in our kingdom ministry for the number of uk partakers last year.

  (in 2000, the figure of 300 was given, down from 319 in 1999).

  The concept of the "Anointed" is complet bullshit, my god anyone can claim they are getting messages from god and they will be kings in heaven, what a crock. So many times growing up as a Jehovah's Witness I would hear my folks say "oh so and so must be of the anointed because they have endured so much" blah blah blah, most people go through hell here on this earth that seems to be mankinds lot in life is to be half dead most of the time. I think you all know what I am refering to about the so called good people who are so deserving and the rest of mankind have not had enough trouble I used to hear them say "oh we need to go hear a discourse from the anointed brother from Bethel, hey what about a nice down to earth family man who loves his wife and family does not god hold that of any value. All I can say about this is if god was to tell me some how that I am a chosen one he would have to do more than what he is doing with these jack ass's they have such a vage idea that they are gods chosen ones they can't even tell you how they know, now that builds a lot of confidence in them, while they drink their wine and stiff bread that they eat it in front of many eyes, such bullshit, oh oh, here I go making fun of glorious ones.

  heres a story of what happened to me at a district convention this year.. an unbaptised publisher and i travelled to wolverhampton district convention in england.

  this wasnt our district but id been on holiday and had missed my own district convention (how unspiritual of me).

  so me and this friend decided to go to this convention and was also hoping to meet a friend there.. on the saturday morning we were delayed in traffic and we eventually arrived at 11.30am, paid our 3 for parking (i wonder if they had the use of car parks for free?

  A follow up to my last story, In 1972 I was eighteen years old, I went to an assmebly in Butte Montana, I somehow got a to be a night gard to walk around the grounds acting wise and tough with a few other brothers. Me and two others had the late watch, so we were sleeping in this loft area of the stadium, and these two girls came in giving sex to those that wanted it, well I and my friend did not want it, we were tired from traveling all day. Long about ten min latter her Dad came in and begain kicking us real hard in our ribs, I could not get out of my bag in time to defend my self, so we took a good ass beating for nothing. The next day a man who was this girls father came and said he was sorry, as soon as he said he was sorry I cold cocked him, and got in my car and went home five hundred miles away. Pepper
