My Last thoughts in Field Service Before the Elderly Man Shat Himself and Pissed his pants in My New Car!

by PokerPlayerPhil in

debating this was going to be the last day in field service was not hard after dealing with a nasty mess because i was grouped with the misfits of the kingdom hall!

i was reading this website on my phone while something started to stink in my car and one of the weird kids nobody wanted to work with yelled "hey, you leaking all over my seat, he was freaked out too!

" the older, retired elder, his pioneer daughter had forgotten to put his depends on and that became my problem.

Some of the things I got to enjoy with my vehicle.

Spilled milk, not told about it, rotten milk smell in the summer. Door panel pulled off when the door was slammed shut. Broken lock for the same reason. Garbage left under the seats, between the seats. Mud tracked in. Never a nickel for gasoline. Cracked window when some idiot used a metal folder to "tap" the window indicating which direction to turn. HI liter writing on the seats by ill behave kids. Broken rear window defroster after bags were all thrown into the rear window deck.

@PokerPlayerPhil

It sounds like you may have been in the same vehicle I was.

Older guy gets out in someone's private yard to throw a whiz, and the strain of doing that causes him to shlt his pants. Then we all got to enjoy the odor going back to town from thirty miles out.

After loony Lett's hour and a half video plea for MORE MONEY maybe Sanderson should have stayed the heII in New York, instead of spending money to gallivant all over the world!

Can anybody hold back from vomiting long enough to share a quote or two...?

This program is historic! The first broadcast was in October 2014. Seven months have flown by. That means each of the governing body members have had the opportunity to host one of our monthly programs. And were now starting over again.

Hmm. . .starting over again? Sounds like he turned on some nu-lite there?

The Bible Does Not Say - But ...

by berrygerry in

painfully reading an article of may 15, 2015 (extra-simplified edition) and again observed this phraseology: the bible does not say, but .... so, did satan hope to tempt her with the luxurious palaces of pharaoh and abimelech?

did satan think that she would betray her husband and even jehovah by marrying one of those kings?

the bible does not say, but it is very likely that the devil would have been overjoyed if sarah had lost the opportunity to become part of the messiahs family line.. .

I was always told that when someone uses the word "but", as in "The Bible doesn't say, BUT. . .", that that is exactly what they are going to make of themselves.

Today's Watchtower Study, from Feb 15th " Jehovah Guides......."

by BluesBrother in

not a full critique but some points astounded me .

after decades of hearing them say how terrible the "critical times" are that we live in today.

i now hear :.

@ Doctor Who

I made an almost identical comment. I stated that, "Only a few short years ago we enjoyed a soliloquy at our circuit assembly that forcefully drove home the point that it is materialistic to purchase the latest electronic device, and the waste of time spent learning how to effectively use them that could otherwise be spent in the preaching work. And how dangerous the internet is, likening it to a backyard full of rattlesnakes, and both being distracting tools of Satan. Now Jehovah's Witnesses have fully embraced those very tools."

Same thing here. Heads bobbing like bobble-head dolls and shlt-eating grins.

i've watched the reaction to the nepal disaster for the first time with eyes opened.

lots of comments about praying for the brothers and sisters affected.

the official release on the website references only the sister and her two children that died, along with the impact on the brothers there.

OneFingerSalute

Relief work? Not so much. . . PREACH!

Sheesh, THAT will really clothe, feed, or show hospitality to those severely impacted by disaster, won't it? (Mat. 25: 42-26)

Witnesses Preach to Dog

by snugglebunny in

"in el salvador, one man tied his vicious dog in front of the door whenever he saw jehovahs witnesses nearby.

the man would wait for the witnesses to move on, and then he would bring the dog back into the house.

the brothers were never able to speak to the man.

OneFingerSalute

Add my vote in the BS column. I heard this same story years ago, and it was set in the United States.

Also having had dogs that were very protective of my property I know for a fact that they would have had to be screaming to be heard above the dogs barking and snarling. Unless of course they got close enough to just "talk" and the dog for some reason suddenly became gentle and just stood there and "listened". Way too much wrong with this story to pass the sniff test. As we say in my area about tall stories, "That dog won't hunt!"

Do Jehovah’s Witnesses Assist With Disaster Relief? (In Nepal)

by berrygerry in

do jehovahs witnesses assist with disaster relief in nepal?.

http://www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses/faq/assist-with-disaster-relief/.

what say ye?.

Taken from the website, this is the most recent "news" and should pretty well answer to what extent JDubya's provide any relief.

A disaster relief committee based in Vanuatu’s capital, Port Vila, has provided food, potable water, and basic shelters to some 100 Witness families. In addition, one ton of relief supplies was sent to the Witnesses in Tanna to provide for their immediate needs. .

Jean-Pierre Francine, a spokesman for Jehovah’s Witnesses in New Caledonia, states: “We are grateful for the aid from abroad as well as the government agencies that have assisted our fellow worshipers.

So not only do they refuse meaningful help for anyone not of the same religion, they suck up government relief that could have been used for those poor souls who are not the victims of the "love" the JDub's show.
