Stephen Lett at our assembly today

by StarTrekAngel in

he delivered the most cultic piece of propaganda i've ever seen in an assembly.

wife typed up the whole thing.

i will be posting when i get a chance.

On many occasions the angels could have given their names. Noah asked the angel what is your name. The good angel never gave his name. Because of their humility they do not want the honor.

Because of humility perfect heavenly angels who are in the presence of God Himself and Jesus do not give their names or accept worship it is said. Contrast that with the way the governing body, their "helpers" and any other hangers on put their mugs out there on governing body TV and at assemblies. Wanting to be seen by men. Wanting their names memorized. Wanting the front seats in the synagogues.

They're now asking people to clean at Bethel?

i heard from a "friend" that a letter was read aloud during the midweek meeting asking people to volunteer to do cleaning work in bethel.

lol.

i really can't think of anything else to say if this is true.. they get more free labor, and they still ask for more more more money!!

I wonder how many of the Gibbering Body willingly reach out for the "privilege" of scrubbing the toilets of those whom they are supposed to "slave" for?

Well not really. . .I know how many. NONE!

Can You Feel The Love?

by OneFingerSalute in

just heard of an experience that proves what i have thought all along about the unique type of love in the jdubya religion.. an elderly, handicapped jdubya acquaintance was traveling alone through the mid-west recently and found themselves stranded in denver, colorado due to dangerous road conditions.

not knowing anyone, and having no way to get from place to place on their own they made a number of phone calls.

finally they were able to get in contact with an oh so christian "sister" who had with her husband spent many decades in bethel.

One small detail has come to light since I first posted this comment.

The spouse of the elderly handicapped JDubya has personally known both the former Bethel female sister and her husband for over forty years. So it wasn't a case of caution for someone unknown to them.

Yes, I can feel the love. Damned hypocrites!

An elderly, handicapped JDubya acquaintance was traveling alone through the mid-west recently and found themselves stranded in Denver, Colorado due to dangerous road conditions. Not knowing anyone, and having no way to get from place to place on their own they made a number of phone calls. Finally they were able to get in contact with an oh so christian "sister" who had with her husband spent many decades in Bethel. They asked if there would be any way they could at the very least get someone to keep them company for a few hours. The "sister" informed the stranded JDubya that she and her husband were just going out the door for field serve us and that they would return the call as soon as the meeting for serve us was done. Surprise, surprise, no return phone call. Calls from the stranded JDubya only went to voice mail after that, and none were returned. Thanks to the oh so loving "brotherhood" this handicapped, elderly person spent a full day and then a cold night alone stranded in the Denver bus station.

Can you feel the love?

Some thoughts on the new midweek meeting

by Saltheart Foamfollower in

the new midweek meeting has been running for a month now.

here are my thoughts on how it is going so far:.

1) elders are looking frazzled from being on virtually every meeting and having to prepare unfamiliar formats for items.

OneFingerSalute

So how does that work? Same questions every week or what?

Yes, same two questions week after week. Not word for word as I tried to forget them, but pretty well as asked below.

What does this weeks BR teach me about Jehovah?

How can I use it in the Field Serve-us?

JW Expressions We Hate

by Socrateswannabe in

jw
friends

i was browsing through stuff on jw.org recently and ran across some expressions that really grate on my nerves: loyal love, loving-care, and loving-kindness, as in: "please exercise loving-kindness toward your servant.

" who talks like that?

they must be relics of the fred franz era.

stand if you are able to sing

99% of the Dubs ought to stay seated. Most of them can't carry a tune in a bucket!.

Yet again, poor and/or old JWs will feel marginalized, inferior, and guilty.

In JDubya land they are. It isn't just a feeling.

This is crazy.... What if you are older and don't even know how to use the internet???

WTB&T$, "F--- you brother/sister older. Either keep up with the chariot or get the hell off. We don't need "dead" weight slowing us glorious ones down."

Elder Mentioning an "Apostate Problem"

by Simon Templar in

i bumped into a sister that i have known for at least 40 years or so.

we were catching up.

she and her husband have been in the truth for decades.

Just slightly off-topic, but what would the ELDubs do if, as a NON-JW, I were to partake of the grapejuice at their 'Memorial?'

That happened where I am a few years ago. A guy went up and sat in the eldurr/ms servers row. When the wine got to him he tossed off the whole glass full and then started gagging and spewing the wine back into the glass and yelled, "This is the worst goddam booze I have ever tasted!" as he jumped up, still gagging, and headed for the doors.

They had to stop serving long enough to empty, wash, and refill the glass. Too funny!

Exactly nailed. There have always been 2 classes!!! 2 always!!!!
The Heavenly Class the little flock.
The Earthly Class the great crowd.

At the risk of sounding argumentative there are actually three classes.

The heavenly "little flock" class. Those whom Jesus allegedly made a direct covenant with to rule in heaven with him, which could be a relatively small but limited number. (Figurative 144,000?)

The heavenly "great crowd". Those who are now claiming to be anointed and going to heaven as part of a final gathering. (A large but unspecified number)

The "Other Sheep" who profess to want to live forever on earth petting pandas, wearing suits and dresses, and never not smiling as they pick fruit in their dress up clothes.

This was, if I remember correctly, somewhat of a teaching in the twenties, that there were two classes of heaven-bound partakers.

All-in-all it is as a CO once said, "No matter how you slice baloney it is still baloney."
