i know this topic has been discussed before on this forum, but as it goes in jw world we need reminders.. co said in his last talk i can't remember the title in speaking about jesus, that when jesus returned to heaven he resumed his name michael.
jesus was his earthly name.. through the entire rest of the bible after his ressurection not one reference is made about this.
case in point----when jesus oh wait michael pulled saul over and talked to him, he introduced his self as jesus.
Great point Island Man!
Someone was offerred a part at the assembly in Georgia! He could do it then blame it on the 95 degree weather!
Hey did that CO forget Jesus is also three angels in the Revelations book? Another angel,mighty angel, fallen angel! Might be more! There was another one in the Daniels book in a foot note a might be Jesus!
just had my 1day assembly this weekend.
an experience given by the bethel speaker was quite troubling and shows how jw's live in constant paranoia, anxiety and they isolate themselves from normal living.. a first grade class was having a fire drill.
everyone ( except one) lined up and stood outside away fron the classroom in the grass.
In the sixties during school we watched holocaust movies and for some reason I thought it was false because it was not Jehovah's day! I barely understood what I was watching!
My friend and neighbor sitting next to me was crying and so was every one in the auditorium. I told them the films were false so no reason to cry! The world just wants you to be scared. They looked at me with total loathing they explained they were real pictures. I said Jehovah would not allow humans to kill each other in such an awful way! In the third grade, I was so shocked and confused because it was holocaust and not Armageddon.
Also, something odd happened when my neighbor brought I believe it was a LOOK magazine at the bus stop with full pictures of the assassination of our president. We were taught to basically not care for anything political and to not look at the pictures, because it was Satans organization. It was a young JW way if making a stand for Jehovah. The president was the representative of Satan. The not caring attitude was my JW up bringing toward anything of the world. Very unhealthy. I think with time that taught concept changed.
Because cults want their own system of unique words seperate from Christian to control minds.
Point taken I knew nothing about grace until about twenty years out of the WT.
Kind of strange for Christians to not understand Gods grace.

Sorry to hear you gave your life up for a day to hear about a fake story line!
It just crazy how they make up crap and everyone thinks it is a real experience! Typical made up delusional garbage! Clap,clap!
Dumb idiots would laugh! I am just so sick and tired of the JWs stupidity. It is like each generation of JWs just gets mentally worse!
I know someones grandfather died from neglect because the stupid grand daughter, care giver, left him alone. She was paid by the state to watch him daily so she decided to go help establish a Russian KH daily plus pioneer. He took a fall and broke his hip while alone and died because of it. Imgine an elderly man with health problems, age 87, going in his back yard that was near on a fifteen foot drop. Anyhow, she gave her experience at the assembly they said how wonderful she was. How she managed to pioneer, learn to speak Russia so she can help with the Russia community. All this while taking care of her grandfather. Basically she was never there! Really now it would not take much to calculate the time! But they never realised he died because of neglect! They claimed it was because of Jehovah that "she" managed to make it through her tough times. Ahahah
The more your around assemblies and JW the more fond sick memories you get to recall!
What a joyful 1 day assembly. I never went to another assembly.

"a friend of a friend" applied to go to an international convention this year.. they have not heard anything about whether they were accepted or not.. but recently, they received this e-mail:.
brother xxxxx:.
according to our records, you applied and were approved by your body of elders to be a delegate to international conventions outside of the united states, but were not selected.
You could not pay me to do that!
suppose, you and your family were invited for supper with us president.
after having the meal with him, you and your family returned and started describing what happened during the meal:.
when we reached the presidents house, he offered us dr pepper and then served the meal.. no, he served first meal, then dr. pepper, says your wife!.
Why call it a Memorial Celebration? That is like calling it a Funeral Party.
I feel like a Dr.Pepper

Sounds like my siblings! Everyone expresses what they think but nit pick over the little dam details.
My brother lives to state the opposite or loves to see if he can keep me in total confusion.Sets me up!
It is like he loves to cause conflict.
As your story:the husbands wife correcting every little detail of the husband's story! Kick the wife out! Replace her!
As far as the last supper, I think I will have faith in it and believe what it says.
i made the following observations about today's wt study:.
5 jesus inspected, refined, and cleansed his followers between 1914-1919. so if they were cleansed why were they still celebrating christmas and birthdays, something they now claim to be unclean?.
6 jesus then appointed a "faithful and discreet: slave.
Last week a crazy lady told me there were demons in the bread department! Out of the blue! No chance to not hear it! She was delusional.
What is the difference between hearing her statement versus a group of delusional people at the KH?
I like to avoid crazy conversations. I back away or keep my mouth shut. I give no feed back if If can walk away. It is my trained red flags.
Good choice to walk out! Because normal person does not want to hear abnormal comments made by people suffering from Oz syndrome .
The question is will you walk back in?
every wednesday the gb meet and discuss who the hell knows what.
but i was wondering, is it just them or are the committee helpers and the laywers invited as well?
that's gotta be around 20-25 people altogether.
That is how secret socities work!
