  has helped us to refine our understanding

  I love this. It's almost as if they are correcting us instead of admitting that their false prophesy is not coming to pass.

  once they were standing he would play the national anthem!

  hillarious.. here's a trick you can try.

  In the late 1970's John Denver at one point in his concerts would ask any Jehovah's Witness in the crowd to please stand up. Once they were standing he would play the National Anthem! Hillarious.

  Here's a trick you can try. Call a local Kingdom Hall. When someone answers "Hello, Kingdom Hall" say "Ha! You just said hello to a disfellowshipped person!" and hang up.

  Or, get a bunch of friends together for a flash mob at one of the conventions. Then start clapping at really inappropriate times during the talks. Leave right before security asks you to.

  Anyone got any more?

  The generation that by no means would pass away until all things occurred

  by professor in

  2. friends

  wow!

  i longed for the day when the last of the anointed remnant was on his/her death bed and all of the witnesses awaited to be swept away into the new system.. who knew that they could just, with one stroke of "new light" change everything and do away with this hope/doctrine.

  how many times did i preach it from door to door and misrepresent god and the bible!

  I came back in on this a little late. Thanks for all the responses. Nickey, my mother was also unaware of the change until I brought it to her attention. Seems like they tried to sneak this one in.

  Imagine If The Watchtower Apologzed For Their Sins

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  one thing that is commonly brought up is how the society has made so many mistakes and uttered so many false prophecies.

  i just wonder what would happen if the watchtower ever came out and asked forgiveness for their sins and asked to start a clean slate.

  (you know, like the pope did a couple of years ago).

  Did you take down notes at the meetings?

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  were you the type to always jot down every little detail the brothers said from the podium?.

  i found it amusing when especially sisters were always writting notes in their pads when the brother was giving a talk in the front.. i wonder if it was because they found the topic interesting, or because they wanted to look as if they were learning something.. i was all ears, but never took down notes.

  that's odd, coming from a person who is "visual".

  Dad was an elder. Taking notes was mandatory. This was just so that everyone in the congregation knew we were better than them.

  At another KH I went to for years an elder told me this joke:

  Q: Which stretches further, skin or rubber?

  A: Skin because the Bible says Moses tied his ass to a tree and walked twenty miles.

  Rate your congreagation

  by Hamas in

  aylestone congreagation leicester ; what a place that was.. we were so starved for laughter we used to laugh at the slightest thing; you remember how witnesses are deprived of true humour so they must negotiate with anything they hear slightly funny ?

  that was what it was like for us at aylestone.. it was like sitting in a morgue.

  we lost a great elder;- fantastic laugh.

  1. somewhere in Florida: 8. Easy going fun cong. but they convinced my dad to spank me more. Ouch!

  2. somewhere in Wisconsin: 8. Lots of fun times with these folks. I still miss my friends there that shun me now.

  3. somewhere in Wisconsin: 0. Bunch of stuck up holier than thou pricks. I was 15 and the only kid my age was this cute girl who it seems wasn't allowed to speak to me. There was a rule of no joke telling in the KH. That would definately not fly in cong. #2

  4. back to cong. #2 thank god.

  5. somewhere in Wisconsin: 5. Nice group but they kicked me out.

  Yeah. Actually our KH was in the SAME BUILDING as a video arcade and we shared the same restroom. That was just too much temptation.
