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.
we all know the gb like to impose rules upon the rules... but did anyone else out there have parents that implemented rules upon those rules?
mine did.
my mum tended to copy whatever the elders wives were doing and took it to the extreme.
Scully:
Really got $h@t upon when I accepted a referral from my family doctor to see a specialist to treat severe post-partum depression. "Don't tell the shrink you're a Witness™ or he'll think we're all crazy!" "They'll get you to leave The Truth™!!" and the straw that broke the camel's back: "If you turn your back on The Truth™, your three beautiful children would be better off if you took them out in the back yard and blew their heads off with a gun. That way they won't go down with you at Armageddon™ and will be Resurrected™ in Paradise™."
Scarey stuff, and not an isolated incident either. First off, depression seems to be part and parcel of being a JW these days. And more and more are taking herbal remedies to try and treat it rather than seeing a professional (my mum's cupboard was full or St.John's Wort). And as for this "blowing the kids heads off" thing. I've heard similar things like this before.
How very... Jonestown.......................

"Now That's What I call Music" albums as the artists looked worldly!
WTF?!! haha!!
Neighbours, Home & Away, Coronation Street, Emmerdale Farm, Take The High Road, Eastenders
My parents fluctuated on this. They'd ban them, then lift the ban when there was a major storyline, then get hooked again then the CO would come and it'd be banned again. I used to like Home & Away. I genuinely believed that there were no ugly people in Australia.

Well wernt we all just weird little kids? Glad i wasn't the only one.
I remember one time my older sister reported my Super Mario game to my parents because in one of the levels there's ghosts. That was the end of that game.
This is what she was referring to:
