.

my daughters boyfriend was at his moms the other night and the elders just happened to stop by and talk with him.. anyhow, after their discussion about him and my daughter and the baby and what they are going to do, (havent been to meetings in 7 months mind you), her boyfriend told the elders that he no longer wanted to attend meetings and my daughter told them the same.. the elders admitted to them that there is a huge number of people that felt the same way, and the halls are much emptier than they ever were.. hmmm, i wonder why?.

What did you do to piss the brothers off?
by Pleasuredome in
1. jw
2. friends
when you were getting fed up with meetings before you gave up, was there anything you did to deliberately get on the brothers nerves?.

i turned up to a meeting once with jeans on, and a red top with cccp on it with the 'hammer and sickle'.

i also went to another bs group a few times so that if i wasnt at one group they'd think i was at the other and vice versa.

Christian - Pagan Parallels.
by nicolaou in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
an inscription in the vatican states plainly, "he who will not eat of my body, nor drink of my blood so that he may be one with me and i with him, shall not be saved.".

this is not terribly surprising, unless you consider that this is inscribed on the remains of the temple the vatican was built on- one dedicated to the god mithras.

such eerie parallels between the pronouncements of jesus and mithras are not the only similarities.
