there is a certain elder in my wives hall that has seemed to developed a real interest her.
first he seemed to feel a need to make sure all her blood cards were signed before she gave birth to our child.. he sends her text messages if she misses a meeting saying how much " we missed you last night ".
he finally sent her a text wondering where her oct hours were , knowing she had some pretty serious tears from child birth and could hardly even walk, much less do field service ".
This elder is a real uber one. My wife on the other hand isn’t the most zealous dub in the world. Five hours a month tops.
I am beginning to think he is some narcissistic bully going after weaker members of the flock.
Where I live most congregations have kind of reached an equilibrium where no one joins or no one leaves. I think he misses the good old days of steak-outs and markings and kangaroo court.

I am seriously thinking about having a meeting with him and telling him I don't feel comfortable contacting my wife any more.
Would this cause more harm than good ?
it was the week when circuit overseer comes and my relatives wanted to offer the food.
i had got my school friend, a muslim girl, going into the meetings and she actually progressed and went to the field service, but never got baptized and one day she just disappeared.well anyway, this overseer comes for the free lunch and then when we are sitting in the table with his wife and my relatives, the muslim girl comes as the subject.
overseer throws out this absurd asshole joke that because their family doesn't like witnesses his father will come with a truck and drives it through the kingdom hall wall and then it explodes.
That was actually kind of funny. I always ask my Muslim co workers if they have a big weekend of planning attacks.
They usually reply fuck you redneck racist cracker prick.
I am what do you say. All I heard was dirka dirka dirka.
It's all good
was speaking with someone last night who just recently toured the us bethel's.
the brooklyn tour i heard was awful, very limited and disappointing and conducted by a local pioneer and not even a bethelite.
well from what they are telling the folks on the tour since the tm3 bit encouraging (guilting) people about going to disneyland on vacation when you haven't visited bethel, monthly tours went from 6000 to 16000!
I have often thought it was odd that the average JW wants to see Bethel Brooklynn more than Israel. There literally doesn’t seem to see any interest in the Holy Land in JW land.
so i've thought for a while now that jj has the lowest bar to clear in cinema history.
all he has to do is make a movie that's not as bad as the prequels.
but upon viewing the recent trailers, it looks like he's actually got the "feel" of the originals down.
Its funny when you go back and watch the original three movies like 20 plus years later, you soon realize why Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill and Billy Dee Williams never became stars after. Man, the acting is pretty B grade sometimes.
Man, those movies were fun though.
We expected more from the newer movies because they had mega budgets, established stars, all ready had a rabid fan base.
If you are a star wars fan and want to see a funny good movie watch “Fanboys” . Damm that is priceless.
my jw friends that still speak to me, tell me that they love the meetings because of the things they learn.. i wonder what they think they're learning?
it an avenue that always perplexes me because their replies are just so wishy washy or i get a blank stare when i ask.. what's you r experience?.
Is it just me or is the WTS becoming so engrossed in personal doctrine ( 1914, Blood, FDS, End times chronology, Salvation though works, prophetic meaning of parables, overlapping generations) I don’t think the average JW could give you are a brief synopsis of any book of the bible.
Nothing pisses me off more than spending 500 dollar for a three day assembly and later asking my wife what spiritual food do you get that and she doesn’t remember a dam thing.

I was or am a big Star wars fan but man, I really had no use for the 1999-2005 Star Wars movies.
The first one was ruined by Jar Jar Binks and those racist jewish puppets.
The Clone wars was just too science fiction geckish. You really had to know your science fiction shit to enjoy it. I just want mind candy.
The third one, the acting was just so bad. I couldn’t take it serious.
I am really hoping for the next ones to be good.
that is what the speaker said in his public talk this morning.
Most Jehovah Witnesses family patriarchs and the most ubers ones are mostly baby boomers. I have seen an entire family walk away when the old man kicked the bucket. The interesting part is what is going to happen when the baby boomer start to die in the next 15-20 years. How many people are just hanging around for family reasons.
Mind you I am beginning to think the average might actually be retarded or it is just a social club to feel superior to the average joe.
just let me say, i hate the gray bible.
when i read the revision of mal 3:10 and they included tithing, i almost vomited.
recently though, my invalid mother asked me to read to her and the only thing available was the gray bible.
I just hate the fact all the covers of there bibles are a different color so you stick out of a sore thumb if you are using a different version of the bible. Like they didn't do that on purpose.
I did notice the cross references too jeremiah 17:10 revelations 2:23 are removed too.
the trnity to me means the true nature of god essence,attributes each person of the trinity is equal the father the son and the holly spirit all share the devine nature ie three persons of the godhead are all equal in power ,glory and wisdom john 10:30.jesus and his father god are one meaning of the same nature mathew 28.19 jesus said all to be baptised in the name of the father and of the son and the holly ghost reprissenting 3 persons of the godhead to wellcome the devine trinity into your soul .
Actually the gospels are the story the apostles realizing Jesus was first the promised messiah from the old testament, the son of god and after his resurrection realizing he was actually the manifestion of god in the flesh.
The book of John is basically makes the claim he was the angel of the lord from the old testament. The figure that appeared both with god and was identified as god .
Please learn more about the believed pre-incarcerated appearances of Jesus in the old testament. It really helps understand the new testament.
