  The strange thing to me is, 'evidently' is a word used when there is evidence. They use the word 'evidently' whenever there is absolutely NO evidence of what they are trying to prove, but it is based on pure speculation.

  I had every intention of going to the Memorial last night.......

  i wanted to go and to do it for jehovah and jesus and what they've done for me.

  i wanted it to be a personal thing between them and i. i haven't been to a meeting in close to a year, not that anyone notices or cares.

  this isn't my first stint away, and nobody would notice or care if i was found dead.

  Dub, I hope you will go try Easter this Sunday at a church. You want to show God that you appreciate what he has done for you. The first way is being kind to others, treating them as Jesus would. the second is to worship. So give it a shot and see what happens. Most churches are pretty full on Easter and probably won't notice an extra visitor, you can be pretty incognito.

  Jonathan, they are hypnotized! That's a perfect way to describe it.

  garrett...this conversation was important, you needed to know. And things you say could have longer term effects than you realize. It takes time for witnesses to process certain thoughts contrary to their brainwashing. She may be more alert now to things she hears.

  Memorial talk wt escape clause

  by prologos in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  " --only those in the kingdom covenant were served the bread & wine by jesus--" ---false!

  this phrase switches from the forgiveness of sin part to the exclusive anointed club section of the memorial talk, and it is false because: the kingdom covenant was done after the passover was done.

  and the promise of thrones and judging israel in math 19:28 was not a covenant but an assurance.

  New day I haven't studied the symbolic 144,000 deeply, but from reading revelation, it sounds like they are Jews. I do believe that people go to heaven to be with Jesus, and someday, ultimately they will live on earth again. It says 'the tent of God will be with them'. I don't speculate on what exactly this means, but it is part of most Christian theologies that the righteous will eventually live on earth...which I only learned after going to church for a while. Personally I don't think much about the afterlife, I try to live life right now.

  Churches go WAY more out on Jesus death then JW's ever did during this week!

  by EndofMysteries in

  my significant others church, what do they do on the week of christs death?

  sunday service all based on jesus death, big 50 person choir, performances, etc.

  last night some special service, they have a sit down passover w/ the bread and wine, then 24 hours it's open w/ special places for anybody any time of night to come and pray if they want.

  Yep, it's a big deal in most Christian churches. Actually it starts with Lent and it's forty days of meditating on what Jesus did for us and then the huge celebration of his resurrection at Easter. Yup, growing up witness I had no idea!! Thought it was mostly eggs and bunnies. Actually I don't think its a coincidence that Jesus died and was resurrected in the spring. It's all about hope and joy and life.

  But witnesses are quite full of themselves to think their bizarre little ritual is so amazing.

  The Watchtower are Right About Blood...

  by cofty in

  ... but, they fail to take note of one important detail.. i believe that if we are going to have any chance of reasoning with a jw about blood, this is the place we need to begin.. don't try to convince them that it was only a dietary law.

  it wasn't, and they will never go along with it.. don't tell them that saving a life is more important than obeying a law, even a seemingly trivial one.

  they take pride in obedience.

  I've been in halls where real witnesses partook, but the elders decided not to count it, because they thought the person was too young (40!) or too crazy. So, I wonder how many are ACTUALLY partaking.

  Worst Memorial Talk Ever!

  by The Searcher in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i honestly have never heard such claptrap being delivered in a memorial talk.. the speaker repeatedly put down the way other religions administered the bread & wine, and claimed that witnesses do it exactly as the bible describes.

  oh yeah????.

  he forgot to mention - when reading aloud 1 corinthians 11:25 - that after passing the bread, a full meal was to be shared, before the wine was passed around!

  It is sooo ridiculous how they worry so much about getting the day right, getting the wine and bread right, getting the 'sundown' right....yet they get the MAIN thing...that all believers should partake, WRONG.

  Like I said earlier today... Over applying parts of scripture, completely missing the principle. I am happy to not be going. I went to a much more meaningful good Friday type celebration.

  i walked by the local double hall this afternoon on my way home from work at about 4:30 pm.

  you would never know it's a special night.

  no cars in the lot, nothing swept, no flowers or decorations...totally dead.

  They also could be having it at a community center or something and didn't worry about cleaning up the hall for that reason. Kh's in my area usually have it at a community center.

  Yeah, without the transfusion, you'll die. But at least you will have avoided the risk of deadly infections or other medical risks.
