chapter 48. turn on the tv!.
nine days after mark’s wedding, i got a phone call early tuesday morning.. “get up… get up and go turn on your tv!” it was mike, my jehovah’s witness friend from seattle.. ok so i got up and walked downstairs and did what he said.
there it was, i saw the smoke and flames coming out of the twin towers.
When all the hypocrites were running back to the Org, as it delighted in death and misery, your good conscience prodded you into leaving.
My older brother was one of them. Started attending meetings again, he stopped attending by November.
I heard the fear and terror in one man's voice just seconds before his death and I fainted.
I know the phonecall you're talking about. Very chilling and very sad. Nobody deserves to go out like that. Certainly not 7.5 billion men, women and children.
quite possibly the most cringeworthy thing i've seen them do yet.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tk88rstv6o.
Am I the only one that doesn't think it's too bad?
Oh well. Maybe I just have terrible taste.
!!!???!!!
hahahaha, ok, to each his own.
The only redeemable thing here was the guitar solo, but that was ruined by their over the top reaction to it. You would've thought they were sitting on vibrating seats or something.
- actually, redeemable isnt quite the right word... "half-decent" maybe?

It's as if they're all sedated. Like they've been told to enjoy it and act like it's the best thing they've ever heard.
There's the black fella in the front who goes to clap during the opening accordion bit but instead just smiles like a fool,
The Asian sister giving it beans throughout the whole thing.
And the guy at the back after the solo rocking and swaying like he's in a Aerosmith concert.
And the smiles... oh the smiles!! All so fake and over the top.
· the whole book of revelation is one letter.. · that letter was to be taken by a courier and read out aloud in churches along a road that ran from ephesus to laodicea.
the author was very familiar with each of the churches.. · those christians were experiencing intense persecution.. · the letter was designed to encourage these first-century christians to “overcome”.
it told them that the end was imminent (“soon”) and they had to remain faithful, to the point of being prepared to losing their lives.. · john had gone to patmos in order to compose (“receive”) the message.
Great insight. Love reading posts like this.
what is your take on Babylon the Great and her whoring herself to the governments and merchants?
Thats a prophecy about my PIMO sister.

Is this for real?
I have found the 142nd Gilead Graduation on JW TV, but not the 143rd. Just wondering.

Unfortunately, yes, it's legit. I found it on one of Lloyd Evans' posts on Facebook. He had uploaded it onto some sort of Russian tube site. I imagine it'll be on JW Broadcasting soon.
it could be argued that all jws are weird.

i’m referring to really weird odd witnesses.. most of the oddballs that i remember were elders..
When i was a JW i used to openly say "this religion attracts nutters".
Here we go:

Do you think the Bethel handlers have told them to sway and smile like that? If they're doing it naturally then it's quite creepy.
The Asian sister in the front row is particularly enjoying it.

this thread is inspired by the great thread pale.emperor recently featured here on the forum about the things our overzealous parents banned while we were young.. seth andrews (a former fundamentalist christian broadcaster - now host of 'the thinkingathiest') just released this great talk!
so many things he speaks of will sound familiar!
we were not the only strange religion it seems..... enjoy!.
I dabbled in Satanism for a good while after leaving. It's basically just atheism but with rituals to make a mockery of religion. What i think is funny is that by Watchtower standards my home should be filled to the brim with demons by now. Yet i've had not a single encounter, funny noise, doors opening on their own or anything... nothing, nada, zilch.
From Feb 17-Oct 17 i've done the following things without anything bad happening:
Here's my friend Jasmine, a witch i met and befriended via North West Satanists:
Last time i saw her she burned a bible and "cursed" Anthony Morris III
I almost wish something would happen so i would have a reason to believe in the supernatural.
