Strange story from Assembly
by Clambake in
1. jw
2. experiences
i am at the assembly and the last speaker of the day is doing some boring and cliche talk about trusting in jehovah and not being anxious and stuff.

then he starts into this story about this 11 year old boy named nigel who has cancer and is going to have a court ordered blood transfusion.. i am getting up to leave because i am thinking he is going to start into some story about he managed to get out of it and died for jehovah or something like that.

the speaker never finishes the story about what finally happened.

Who is the biggest Loser JW you have known
by Clambake in
1. jw
2. experiences
it seems every cong seems to have some guy who is 35 and never had a job or moved out of mom and dads basement.. i knew a guy who just hand out magazines at work so he would get eventually fired and could sleep in till noon everyday.

of course his elder father though he was a real matyr cause he kept losing jobs for jehovah.

i have an electrican friend who apprenticed some jw kid till he got his ticket and he quit him to pioneering.

Is there a do not study list ??
by Clambake in
1. jw
2. experiences
when i started to date my wife, i started to study with one of the elders.

i later found out he was an especially harsh elder that basically disfellowed an entire generation of young people.

joke is on him because his congregation had to merge with another one and basically has a medium age of maybe 60 years old but that is a whole different thread.. the first thing he said to me when we started to study was do you think you have been deceived by satan?.

Brooklyn vs Jersalem
by Clambake in
1. jw
2. experiences
unbaptized mate here.. in my dealing with the jehovah witnesses do you ever find it odd they seem to be more obsessed with visiting bethel brooklyn new york than jerusalem israel.

i have evangelical christians ned flanders type christians in my family and they are all about visiting the holy land.. jehovah witnesses seem to care less but sure get a boner about the magical men in brooklynn.

just find it odd..
