  The difference between the ministry examples and reality

  by purrpurr in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it seems to me that there is a world of difference between the textbook 'skits,examples on the platform' ministry and the reality of the door to door work in real life.

  surely for a bible study coming into the jw religion and having seen all these perfect examples, to be faced with the bitter truth when they do start knocking on the doors must be really jarring?.

  surely they will either conclude that they are rubbish at the ministry or that they have been lied to?.

  That was my observation. When the reality at the door was opposite of what was presented at the KH I found that there was always some "loving", experienced eldurr or pious sneer that would happily tell you what you said or did wrong, and what you must say or do to be more successful. Of course the reality was that you could NEVER say or do the right thing to get the results they portrayed. You were a failure. You must do more. You must work harder!

  Well I am sure that the Xi-JinBiden promised $15.00 per hour minimum wage, coupled with massive mandated lock-downs will certainly help the financial situation. After all if people cannot get out to spend that whopping $600.00 government check they got businesses will most likely be able to pay more wages with less income. That is how government financial genius's figuring works. When you are in a hole, and want to get out. . .KEEP DIGGING DEEPER!

  2021, the year everything your built up in 2017-2019 is stolen from you and given to the professional lazy.

  what are the society's rules when confronting a disfellowshipped person at a funeral service?.

  are there specific rules or watchtower articles that must be followed?.

  i have been to three different wakes/funerals where a disfellowshipped person attended with different results.. 1. ten years ago my first cousin passed away.

  Covid lung damage worse than from heavy smoking

  we've probably all heard it, "i wish i could get the covid and that way it would be behind me", as if it were some annoying rite of passage.

  "sure, i'll lose my senses of smell and taste for awhile, i'll lose my strength for awhile", etc.. what else could be the reasoning for ignoring the social distancing to attend maskless parties and similar large group gatherings?.

  however, looking at the following xray images of certain lungs may help impress some folks into thinking that there are more serious happenings in the attack progression of this virus.

  am sure
  

  Well that's one conspiracy theory I've never heard ?

  Perhaps Newsweek would be of some "conspiracy" enlightenment then:
  

  
  

  "The National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases led by Dr. Fauci, funded scientists at the Wuhan Institute of Virology for work on gain-of-function research on bat coronaviruses. The National Institutes of Health committed $3.7 million over six years for research that included gain-of-function work. The program followed another $3.7 million, 5-year project bringing the total to $7.4 million. Gain of function involves manipulating viruses in the lab to explore their potential for infecting humans, it creates a risk of starting a pandemic from accidental release."

  Well one thing is sure, the planned outcome of COVID by the Chinese, Faux-ci, bill gates and the rest of the population reduction globalists is working.

  Stay afraid. Kneel to your government masters, obey their every dictate, and all will be well.

  Thumb down votes will not change the facts.

  Will JWs get DFed if they are caught with old JW publications?

  i doubt this is true but wanted to know for sure.

  perhaps not too long before they're DF for possessing non JW Bibles...!..

  Sounds far fetched? Not many months after the grey Bible was pushed out I got a good talking to for using the 1984 edition of the JW Bible, and I have heard of the same elders chastising members for not using only the newest update of the study Bible instead of their 2013 (?) edition.

  taking a vaccine would block that from happening doesn't make common sense ?

  Where is your proof that the vaccine would block anyone from being reinfected? Studying the Bible with JW's and getting baptized as one will block you from being lovingly killed at Armageddon too I have heard!

  The governing body KNEW

  by FedUpJW in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so i received an email from one of the used-to-be jw friends that now pretty much ignore me.

  it was haranguing me about "getting right with gee-ho'-vuh", and how imperative it was to "return to the organization".

  it continued on with the worn out argument that "the faithful and discreet slave know what we must do in order to be safe and to live, as gee-ho'-vuh brightens the light to them.

Then they had the nerve to conclude saying they had attached a photo that proved "The governing body KNEW in advance what was going to happen. See the Awake cover shows the protest at the Capitol."

  I wish a person could make this insanity up, but sadly they look for anything to bolster their worship of the governing body.

  The more I think about this the more I believe every home, every business, every building should be placed under a a dome (Like the TV show Under The Dome) and inside those buildings every single breathing being should be placed inside an individual plastic bubble, tube fed through an I.V. in their arm and mandated to wear self contained breathing apparatus 24/7. Of course we would need to rely on government to provide us with everything we need. . .FREE no doubt!
  

  We could eliminate COVID that way couldn't we?

  Why do some people seem to grasp so desperately on every bit of "expert" information about COVID bad and run with it? It may be serious, but C'Mon man. . .it is not the end of the world or humanity.
