i've been told by a jw friend that when her hall recently had a refurb that big changes were made to the second school.. one, a large sign has been placed on the door telling people not to use it and to sit in the main hall itself.. two,that all the chairs which used to face the large windows looking into the main hall are now side on to the window facing the wall instead.. this is because "so many people were sitting out in there!
people were finding all manner of exhuses to sit-in there and the brothers want us to all be together in the main hall!
" she said.. of course i didn't tell her what i really thought of this but seriously?
Currently sitting in the very middle of the main hall with a song book covering my phone during the special talk, hahaha.
I just looked over my shoulder, and the second hall has a number of elderly people in it, so I guess the attendants either don't care or don't want to tell off senior citizens from sitting there.
Currently at the Memorial right now because of my family.
My sister and I are sitting here, not at all amused at the huge turnout.
Help.
l know l would.anyone that says no is kidding themselves.just imagine going up to the hole of a cobra and patting it on the head like a pet.or running like a deer through the woods.who knows we might grows wings and be able to fly as well.food for thought.
mrquik Make sure to be within lightyear-distance from the Restaurant at the End of the Universe, and I'll be a regular patron. ;)*
I really, really, really want to be alive for intergalactic exploration. Between living forever on one planet vs having a limited lifespan but with the chance to go up in outer space, sign me up, space cowboy!
jworg is carrying a "news" article concerning their recent win of a telly award.. i don't need to add to the jworg website hits, so here is the award listed on the telly award website:.
https://www.tellyawards.com/winners/list/?l=jehovah%27s&event=16&category=3&award=b.
2015 online video bronze winners.
Clearly, the Telly award is the bOrg's pricy self-recognition of their Televangelism.
Bra-freakin'-vo. (*slow clap*)
Continue to break a leg, WTBS, just make sure to do so literally this time.
those of you fading- with the memorial approaching are you going to appease family?
not going and making up an excuse?
acting like your going but not really?.
Landy I think being called a "Submarine" would be cool.
Whispering jDubs: "Watch out, Bro./Sis. Submarine is back again this year."
Me: "TORPEDO TIME! Pew pew pew! (*goes about spreading apostasy just from my very presence*)
l thought this would be an interesting exercise to read the different responses.
my question is what makes you think your gods chosen medium?and prove it.
Question: Is the Organization involved with the Cabal? When extraterrestrials become publicly recognized, will you announce it as "new light," too, or will you simply call them demons?
Also, who amongst the GB is allergic to garlic?
if you read some of my past posts you’ll know that i’ve successfully faded while being able to keep contact with my immediate family, who are still very devout jws.
when i did finally completely stop attending meetings, my family, and especially my parents (elder father and pioneer mom), were of course very interested to know the reasons why.
at first i deflected their questions, stating that i had personal reasons and did not want to explain myself.
just a few observations from this morning.
.. this morning as i was trying to choke back the bile that kept wanting to come up during the wt study one comment in particular screamed cult.. towards the very end as comments were being made about "counseling" others with "gracious" words one of the uber-dub minstral-serpents made this comment, "we see in the last image that the brother is holding a bible as he counsels the other brother.
we look closely at the picture and we can know exactly what he is counseling the brother about.
Currently at the meeting with my phone under my Watchtower magazine. I was getting drowsy, decided to check the forums, and now I'm super awake to hear if anyone will comment about the picture at the end, too! XDDD*
I need to equip myself with Psalms 119:165 the next time Mom (or anyone) tries hitting me with critiques. Counterattack right back at ya!
happy friday to all!.
i haven't been to a meeting for maybe 10 years.
i only know what's happening nowadays from the experiences i read here or the internet in general.. anyway, on to the topic: i started attending meetings at the age of 7. as a kid, the only thing i looked forward to at the assemblies (circuit/district) was walking around veteran's stadium (philadelphia district convention) during intermission, hanging with friends, looking at girls (as i got a little older) and trying to have enough tickets to get pizza!.
MarkofCane Same here! I try to either read Game of Thrones or Harry Potter during the assemblies and meetings until Mom notices, then I cover my phone with the Watchtower magazine or Bible and peek-read my preferred literature that way, hahaha.
baker My sister and I stopped clapping for anything and just give each other looks of relief when the assembly or meeting is over. Sometimes we'd make faces during extra long prayers to break the monotony. ^_^*
.... being a little facetious today.... :).
the february 2016 broadcast has got me thinking.
crosses are bad, they make jehovah sad, they are terrible, evil, frightening things to most jws.
Dare I even mention this, the JW Broadcasts are an attempt to make the GB "shiny."
Twilight vampires, the worst kind~
((I'm sorry/not sorry, Twilight fans out there))
