  Awkward moment at the WT study today

  by FadeToBlack in

  2. bible

  when we got to paragraphs 10,11 with the reference to the box at the top of the page - is your teaching up-to-date?

  the conductor asked for an explanation of what the current 'bible truth' was.

  for the first one, 'this generation (matt 24:34) absolutely nobody raised their hand!

  I'm gonna guess that the GB is split on NFL Football as follows:

  • Sam Herd: Loves NFL football. Die-hard NY Giants fan.
  • Geoffrey Jackson: Thinks the game is silly. Prefers soccer or cricket.
  • Steven Lett: Only watches Nat-Geo or Discovery.Wife won't let him watch anything else.
  • Gerritt Losch: Prefers to watch asian porn whenever possible.
  • Anthony Morris III: Likes college football and NFL but will outwardly "condemn" violent sports.
  • David Splane: Occasionally watches gay porn and some CNN. No football.
  • Guy Pierce: Not against football but will go alng with whatever everyone else says.
  • Mark Sanderson: Loves NFL football.

  please click the louis armstrong video and read.. dear jehovah i approach you in jesus name this is what i want to say:.

  yesterday i tossed my farvorite toy "sparlock the warrior wizard" in the garbage can because my mommy who is one of your witnesses said it would make you sadly depressed.

  i beg for your forgiveness in jesus name, if i had known before hand i would have never excepted this gift from johnny my worldly friend who mommy said was most likely going to be destroyed at armageddon because his parents are worldly and make you very sad because they are not jehovah's witnesses like my parents.. and after thinking the matter over i decided to burn sparlock just to make sure you forgive me, i'm so so sorry i made you sad please don't take my life at armageddon.

  Dear Jehovah:

  One more thing... Can I please keep my yellow airplane which you already know is based on dive bombers of World War II like the Corsair F4U and the Junkers ju-87? I know my toy airplane represents wide-spread genocide and destruction, but at least it doesn't represent "magic", right?

  In Jesus name.

  Amen

  Whats the most damning of the July 15 2013 changes?

  by Crazyguy in

  a lot of the rank and file at the meetings seem to think some of the changes make more sense but what is the most damning of the changes that may help to wake to some up.

  some thing the rank and file will not first see or understand as a big deal?.

  The Rank and file are trained not to sweat the details... This is easily achieved with the WT's brain-washing trifecta: 1) Proverb 4:18 - We can lie whenever we want or make shit up as we go along, because... 2) Micah 7:7 - Jehovah will clear up our lies in due time. Besides... 3) Matthew 24:14 - Who else in preaching the "Good News"?

  this new couple moved in a couple weeks ago.

  They send troubleshooters when the total hours reported drop or when contributions start to fall off. Looks like the brothers with consistent meeting attendance in your congo aren't picking up the slack left by the "weak" dubs... your congo COBE must be shitting his pants by now...

  I was told about 2 years ago that the new "unwritten" JC procedure for this scenario is something like...

  1) Hit the parent(s) hard with guilt-inducing Bible texts to make them realize the import of their error.

  2) If the parent(s) start to cry and/or express deep remorse, a private reproof will be sufficient. In the rare occasion that no remorse is evident, please contact th Legal Department for direction.

  If i recall correctly, this was to be hand-written in one of the wide margins of the secret elder's manual (Shepherding the Flock) while attending one of the elder schools... bur I could be wrong

  the list of photos is long, some are very arrogant like "you go to church and say your a christian, that's like saying i have a motorcyle in my garage and that makes me a evil knivel!!

  " what is the common thread of all these photos, head out to the site and see if you find anything funny.

  my funny bone is not working, might be for you?

  The one about the pioneer stroll is interesting... basically, they're subconsciously admitting to themselves that there really is no "sense or urgency" amongst the rank and file...

  But you're right... This humor is extremely painful...

  the co said that the term, " the truth " means " truthful understanding of the scriptures.

  " he also said that the truth does not change.

  Truthful Understanding of the Scriptures? Now I've heard it all...

  As opposed to "untruthful understanding" of the Scriptures? WTF does that even mean... These guys are such poor wordsmiths... they're not even trying to be creative with their BS anymore...

  Wha happened... did you also notice the other "weasel" phrase? "as was the custom in that part of the world". So not only do these clowns in Brooklyn pretend to be proficient in the ancient Greek language, they would also like people to believe that they're anthropology professors as well. They really do make shit up as they go along, don't they?
