  Question...

  by ironsnake656 in

  2. experiences

  when you were an active member in the jwland, did you expect to receive any kind of help from a brother/sister, but they did not help you?

  when i was in the jwland, i expected and was my belief that any brother/sister will help you in time of need, distress or trouble, because we were part of a "lovely organization".

  but countless of times when i needed and asked for help, nobody from the org helped me.

  My dad was used and abused for his skills constantly. He was a carpenter and came from a long line of carpenters (he was very good at it too). He was always doing work for free for elders, CO's, Kingdom Halls around the city, repairs at assembleys etc. He'd provide the materials and tools and labor for free.

  He genuinely loved helping the brothers and sisters but knew the ones "higher up" in the clique were taking advantage. I remember very clearly him taking me along to an old sisters house. She was in hospital and my mum had keys to her house to look after her cat and water the plants etc. My dad and his mate (also a carpenter) fitted her a new kitchen FOR FREE. She wasn't very well off but really appreciated it and got him a card with some money in it.... which my dad then put in the contribution box.

  I was always being asked for immigration advice. Even by JWs i didn't know. People would pass my number around and i'd get random calls from foreign JWs in the circuit.

  i didn't recognise his number , cordial talk for 2 minutes then what can i say , the chook rose to the occasion.

  i will relay main points but the order is not necessarily correct.

  he wants to visit with an other elder ( i live in two states 2/3 of time in a new house in their territory, but they don't know address yet ).

  Love the way you reason Chook. Im aware that Oz has VAST amounts of empty space to get from territory to territory. Are they really gonna travel that far just to get you?

  My dad took this picture. One of the little bridesmaids in pink is the same age as me, they were all in my KH as a kid.

  10:05 Symposium: Avoid Sowing to the Flesh

  • Use Social Media Wisely

  DEMONSTRATION (2 min.)
  [Note: You may make minor adjustments to the script for naturalness. Participants may use their own names if
  desired. Rehearse thoroughly so that the participants will be conversational, neither comical nor overly
  dramatic. The Witness who offers counsel (Lauren) should avoid a self-righteous tone. Select participants
  who are exemplary in their use of social media]
  **[Two young adults named Lauren and Jennifer are discussing a blog that they both follow]**
  Lauren: She covers a wide range of topics in her blog and always has a fresh view of things.
  Jennifer: I follow that blog too, but a recent post really bothered me—it cast Jehovah’s Witnesses in a bad
  light. A lot of the responses to the post were outright lies. I felt that I had to defend the truth.
  Lauren: **[Surprised]** I didn’t see that post. What did you do?
  Jennifer: I responded to the post and to several of the false statements.
  Lauren: Oh.
  Jennifer: **[Hesitates]** Uh, did I do something wrong?
  Lauren: Well, is it possible that by responding to the comments, you could have been communicating with
  apostates?
  Jennifer: I never thought of that. But the responses made me angry. How should I have dealt with them?
  Lauren: Well, when I see negative information on social media, I try to remember that Jesus said “wisdom is
  proved righteous by its works,” so I choose not to get involved.
  Jennifer: Oh, yeah. Instead of arguing with every lie spoken against him, Jesus let his works speak for
  themselves. Thanks for the reminder.
  Lauren: Here comes our bus.
  **[Participants exit]**

  LOL!

  I think a more accurate scenario would have went like so:

  The 2:30 part is about school. Demo about not sexting. Intro says, "**[A Witness teenager named Sarah and a non-Witness classmate named Olivia are standing and talking after school. The speaker explains that Sarah has just received a text with a picture from a boy at school. It is a provocative picture of him at the gym with his schlong out]**"

  My prediction is that when the old GB all die off they'll be replaced with ones that will bring in tithing. This will eventually become an internet dependent religion, sermons conducted via livestream, mags and books in PDF, ministry reduced to showing videos on an iPad.

  OR

  One of the GB or their helpers will go rogue and start his own splinter religion. He'll pull a scripture out of his ass and claim its a fulfillment of prophecy from Daniel or Revelation. The new guy will end the blood doctrine, many JWs who secretly disagree with the blood doctrine will flock to this Jehovah 2.0 religion. New light will be that the 1914 teaching was a test to mankind. 144,000 are all up there now. Only thing to do is to have as many kids as possible now so we're ready to populate the new world. Of course this mean polygamy being brought back.

  Hey, it's a stretch, but do you think Charles Taze Russell would have envisioned the religion to turn out the way it has?
