  That Evil Disco??

  by WTWizard in

  back in october 1983, there was a craptower study article that effectively banned disco, rock, and funk music.

  it also spelled the end of those rollerskating parties that the congregations used to organize.

  now, i can see their reasoning behind the rock (backmasking satanic messages) and funk (dirty), even though it is very specious.. however, the "evil disco" strikes me as weird.

  This is one of the few occasions that God used the WT to dispense food at the proper time.

  Disco.

  I'm not sure you should post his name.

  I'd remove it immediately unless you have his permission.

  It's really not your call to "out" him

  On average, how many non-JW/Invitees did you see at KHs on Sundays?

  by NotaNess in

  i was thinking about my 1 and only visit to a sunday "service" as an invite, to a kh a few years back.. it never dawned on me til now, but we showed up in collar shirt & slacks / casual dress, and immediately felt way under dressed (& uncomfortable due to that).

  and now i think that relatively, there's probably not a lot of new faces that are seen in these small congregations, and although i felt like i was initially just going to another "church service"...i really wasn't, was i?.

  now i'm thinking that silently, everyone was probably so tuned into my wife, my daugther and i when we showed up and throughout the service.

  Preaching Work is unique identifier

  by besty in

  2. beliefs

  several conversations with current jw's have thrown up this validation of their faith.

  i can think of several lines of refutation: .

  1 - ask 'is increase proof of gods blessing?

  In my experience - as soon as you point out that others preach, they dismiss it and say "yes but what do they preach" and the whole discussion is now about the CONTENT of the message not the actual preaching work.

  That's why I'd agree with them.

  Might as well discuss what they really mean instead of wasting time on a straw man.

  I'd agree with them.

  They ARE the ONLY ones who preach their unique message.

  It proves that they are the ONLY ones who are followers of the WTBS. NOTHING MORE

  Lots of other people preach in lots of different ways.

  Try googling "Missionary Societies"

  JWs assume nobody else is preaching "Their Message" out of ignorance, or reject and refuse to preach it out of stubborness and in defiance of God.

  In reality it's because every other group has rejected it because they see the errors in the JW message.

  Most of the doctrinal differences are thousands of years old and were addressed centuries age.

  . . . but we all know WTS is bad at history
