  Over 7yrs as a JW and I just found out I'm not supposed to buy Girl Scout Cookies?

  by Maat13 in

  2. beliefs

  i'm still in the matrix(the truth), but 'morpheus' and his team are valiantly working on a way to get me out.

  in the meantime, everyday i am discovering so much about being a jw i never knew, like don't buy girl scout cookies, that i keep asking myself "what have i got myself into".. maat.

  really lame for a first post, but i figure i should start some where.

  I agree with Blondie... Nothing in the "publications" about girl scout cookies...

  However, I'm not at all surprized...

  In the early 80's, I was scolded by my JW parents for buying girl scout cookies. I was a sophomore or junior in high school at the time so I was naturally pissed for being called out. Then, some weeks later, I was embarrassed during a weekly book study when my mother brought up girl scout cookies again as part of her irrelevant response to a question by the study conductor. I simply lowered my head in utter disbelief... I mean, wtf?

  Anyways, the study conductor then made a ridiculous comment about girl scouts cookies having been sold in the past to raise money for the US military. Not sure if this is true or not but who cares what the money was used for in the past? And why boycott the girl scouts over things they are no longer involved in?

  --- end of rant --

  Maat13... I hope you the best in your escape from this ridiculous cult.

  Watchtower-Free

  Where did you get this pic?

  It's interesting how the Watchtower Corporation had relatively easy access to such lavish freemason-owned venues as Prince Albert Hall. This freemason-owned facility was also the venue for the two largest freemason meetings ever held in England (1887 and 1897)... Prince Albert's son (Albert Edward) was actually a Grandmaster who presided over both of these meetings... (now let the ridiculous comments about extra-terrestrial lizards begin)

  March 2014 Kingdom Ministry Page 2 Paragraph 4...

  Will this memorial be our last? (1 Cor. 11:26) We do not know. But we do know that once it passes, gone will be a unique oppurtunity to show gratitude. Will you seize it? May the appreciative words of our mouth and the meditation of our heart bring pleasure to Jehovah, the generous Provider of the ransom. -Ps. 19:14.

  I read a study about the WTS-Growth

  by JWdaughter in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  and it said that based on their growth and such, that in 20 years(or by 2020) there would be 28 million jws.

  any sign of imminent, widespread persecution that you all have noticed?

  i keep hearing about kh's being built and remodeled, and how huge their conventions are.

  Interesting post from 5 years ago...

  But if any 19th century "dooms-day" religion will reach the 20,000,000 member mark by the year 2020, it will be the 7th Day Adventists (which now has a membership of about 14,500,000)...

  In 2020, I see the JWs completely rebranded with a membership totalling less than 6,000,000... just my opinion...

  It is quite a problem... but not a new one... mall shootings, school shootings and the like have plagued America since the late 70's... but cell phones, social media and high-tech police frequency scanners are making the problem appear more wide-spread than it actually is...

  that said, it's still a very sad situation.

  Elder and CO just dropped by....

  i haven't been to a meeting in over a year, and as you know as soon as you stop attending meetings/fieldservice the "conditional" love becomes more apperant.

  the coordinating elder starts off by saying how much he loves and misses me, etc.

  i ask him, when was the last time you called or texted me?

  Most Ridiculous Thing You've Ever Been Counseled On

  by MrFreeze in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i'm sure topics like this have already come up but they tend to get hilarious with the absolute absurdity that goes on in the kh.

  i was once counseled for not shaving after two days.

  i was also counseled by a sister for eating lucky charms cereal.

  I was counselled for assuming the role of a valet parking attendant before and after a memorial.

  I was supposed to help direct traffic into (and then out of) the KH parking lot during a memorial with almost double the amount of cars expected. But when I noticed that certain elderly brothers and sisters had difficulty manuevering into (or out of) very tight spaces, I quickly intervened and parked their vehicles for them or positioned their cars so that they can simply drive straight ahead and out the lot at the end of the memorial. This only took a few seconds at a time and did not affect my primary duty as "traffic director". If fact, had I not done this, there would have been complete gridlock and the next memorial would have started late.

  The next service meeting, an elder pulled me aside and said that I should strive to follow directions from the elders and that he was told that I was "doing unauthorized things on my own" during the memorial when i was supposed to be simply directing traffic.

  Can you believe the audacity of this complete shit head???
