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.

Keys to understanding the Book of Revelation
by Doug Mason in· 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.

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.

When i was a JW i used to openly say "this religion attracts nutters".
Here we go:
- The never-married old sister who hated absolutely everyone and would answer the rhetorical questions the speaker would ask with a sarcastic answer. She never sat down. Always stood at the back of the hall with a HUGE magnifying glass because she refused to wear glasses and "it's the society, they're printing the words too small". Also refused to wear a hearing aid so she'd constantly shout at the sound desk brother during the meeting to turn the sound up.
- The elder (COBE) who demanded every speaker on the platform to wear a white shirt. And kept a spare white shirt in the 2nd school in case, horror of horrors, a visiting speaker turned up in another coloured shirt. One visiting speaker refused to change his shirt and was actually told he couldn't give his talk. Only the CO was given leeway, and even then that was because we had a hard-ball ex-military CO one time that told him where to go.
- The old lady that was disfellowshipped that wore WAY to much make up, had no teeth and would turn up to the KH with a broken old pram with a black plastic bag of rubbish (trash) in it. One time she turned up with two smashed porcelain dolls wrapped in rags.
- The brother who was "anointed" even before the changes that came in that would have qualified him. He took his platform mic duties so seriously that one time he was in the toilet and a new speaker got up onto the platform, the speaker asked me if i could adjust his mic so i did. This brother stormed all the way up to me and said "dont you ever touch my microphone again!"
- My ex girlfriends dad believed he was anointed. But sometimes he wasnt sure if he was. So sometimes he didnt partake of the emblems and other times he did. He also suffered from that illusive illness a lot of JW's seem to have... "M.S.". Yet still played cricket every Saturday evening and football with the brothers every Sunday as well as fulltime pioneering.

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.

"The Satanic Panic!"
by stuckinarut2 inthis 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:
- Collected Hindu idols and displayed them in my home
- Made a Ouija board and used it
- Bought tarot cards and messed around with them
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.

Which Things Did Your Overzealous Parents Ban?
by pale.emperor inwe 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.......................
