this man's crime?

I've accidentally pushed wrong and disliked someone's post before, meant to 'like' it, but the mistake can't be undone. It wasn't me this time but someone may have done the same thing.

im quite jealous of porn, myself. Actually I wouldn't mind looking at it WITH my mate, I think it would be fun. Efforts to do this with him have been rebuked. but I felt very bad when I discovered he had without me...especially when I discovered he had searched out a certain race of woman and it was a repeated thing. It's actually given me serious issues :(. I know it's vain and stupid but I can't help it.

1 Meeting for each of your fingers ? ? ?

by william draper in

anybody remember how this became a doctrine , years ago , we were at the meetings so that out fingers would be learning something .

..

FayeDunaway

We had the hanging on to a cliff with one hand illustration. You wouldn't want to let go with any of your five fingers, you need them all to survive...

and then there was the ping pong balls in a glass, and then you pour beans all around to show if you put the big 'important' things in life first, (all five meetings) all the other little cares of life (like...family....and work...!) will fit nicely.

And so it begins...

by StarTrekAngel in

wife and i have not reported a single hour of fs in 3-4 months.

while my wife is mostly doing for me (positive thing), i know she would have rather done it.

elder asked me to turn in my fs report this past week and then he added... "we need to talk".

I agree with Millie!!

it is so easy to be sarcastic and snarky, but what you need to do is show humility WITHOUT giving them any information that could hurt yourself.

Watchtower June 15 2015, Misleading Reference to Past Statement...

by BluesBrother in

if this has been posted up before, then i missed it...... they call this organization "the truth" so we might expect it to be accurate .

they themselves they have previously championed honesty :.

live with jehovahs day in mind (2006) p115 par 9.

FayeDunaway

I must say they are a most impressive mind control society, to with the same mouth say they have always been gods chosen organization directed by Holy Spirit, and then say you can not use our old words, that is apostate. It's utterly dumbfounding.

Why only 7 or 8 members on the Governing Body?

by Gilgamesh in

now and then someone hears a rumor that the gb might go with 12 members instead of the 8 (or now 7) they currently have.

the value of 12 is understandable, which might even drive the rumors every time they plan to add another 4 or 5 new persons to the gb helpers list.

of course, a rumor that steals their thunder may also promote a delay, even if true.. i'm sure this quote from the watchtower was previously commented upon as a good explanation for the watch tower's best reason to leave the number at 7 or 8:.

I just realized I actually have this right next to my bed! Am looking at sirach now. It's in the good news bible (catholic)

sirach 37:13,14,15

trust your own judgment, no one's advice is more reliable. Sometimes your own intuition can tell you more than seven watchmen on a high tower. Above all, pray to the most high that he will show you the right thing to do.

The reason they want all their old books confiscated/destroyed is so they can create their own past and rewrite their own history without evidence to contest it.

Memorial - Most depressing holiday ever?

by nevaagain in

jw
friends

we - as in we jws - say that the memorial is our only holiday.back in my young days when i was still living at home, my mom would buy us (or as we got older and made our own money, make us buy) new suits for the memorial.

my mom would put on her best dress which she probably only bought for the memorial.

she would say, it is our only holiday so we should dress special for it.

FayeDunaway

It IS the most depressing holiday ever! Their only holiday is not a holiday, but a meaningless ritual. After leaving, I was really impressed with what normal churches do at Easter and leading up to it. I had no idea. It is what I was missing the whole time. If any of you are up to it next year, (and not too anti religion), try the Holy Week at a church in your area. Or even start with Ash Wednesday, about forty days before Easter. It's the complete experience. Holy Week is the week before Easter, and you can go to thursday or good friday services, depending on the church. Some churches also have Easter eve services, which I havent tried yet. But anyway, this is a walk through of Jesus' last hours. It's like the memorial should be. But THEN you actually celebrate the resurrection too! He is risen. Easter Sunday is so joyous, with horns, organ, full choir. I LOVE it.

Reports of lower memorial attendance

by thedepressedsoul in

i have heard a lot of reports from kingdom halls in the area that there was less than last year, for both time slots.. we had the first time slot and we were down 50+/- compared to last year.

last year we had the lobby full of people standing and this year we had empty seats and no one standing.

we ran out of parking last year and this year we made it.. like i said i am hearing quite a few reports of this from halls in our area.however, somehow the number seem to inch up every year.

FayeDunaway

I'm thinking anyone who would have ever possibly responded to the tract campaign would have already tried it and seen what a miserable experience the memorial is. Especially if you have to STAND while being told you can't partake, it's only for a few blah blah blah...compared to other churches this is ridiculous.
