  Sanderson’s “Young People” convention talk

  by FFGhost in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so did anyone else have the misfortune of listening to sanderson’s talk corresponding to the saturday morning convention program?.

  full title is “young people - choose a path that leads to peace!”.

  the basic idea is, hey you teenagers, you ought to be pioneers, wt construction workers, and/or bethelites.. i tried to put myself back in time an embarrassing number of decades…if i were in this talk’s target audience, how would i respond?.

  Heavy equipment repair at 85 years of age?? Are you kidding me??

  Sadly, no. What makes the situation worse is that now his widowed wife has no family to help, no measurable social security, no life insurance, and is blind and diabetic. I know well the congregation they were associated with and there will be zero assistance for her. They fit perfectly the description of ancient Pharisees. Bind up heavy loads but won't lift a finger to help. And even though I would normally do nothing to help a JW who put themselves in that position, I think of the way my parents were treated and feel a personal obligation to help the poor woman as I can within reason.

  The watchtower organization has too much time on their hands and obviously think that couples have a lot more sex than they actually do.

  I have made the comment many times even though I get the squint eye from them when I do that when JW's yap about the "world" being sex crazed they are in reality projecting. They are always thinking or talking about who is doing it, where they are doing it, when they are doing it, who they are doing it with, and how men are women are basically sexual predators just waiting to seduce someone.

  you should be a “full time servant”, Jehovah will magically take care of you

  I noticed that Ol' Tightpants Tony spewed pretty well the same verbal diarrhea. Ranted about people who think they should try to build enough savings for retirement instead of letting God take care of them. I guess that is why an older friend of mine who recently died was still struggling to perform full time heavy equipment repair at 85 years of age with a blown out back and ruined knees!

  I wish those g.b. slobs would have to spend even six months WORKING instead of leeching off the gullible!

  Look at how many men cheat on their partners, or 'trade her in for a younger model'

  There was a guy I knew who used to say when his wife turned 40 he was going to trade her in on two 20 year olds. Trouble was he found out he was not wired for 220. Ba-Da-Bump
  

  Thanks folks, make sure to tip your server. I'll be here all week.

  Living in the real world?

  Hardly! In the real world pimple faced nerdy teen age boys are not continually propositioned by the hottest girl in high school to hop in bed with them! Neither are over 21 year old mama's boy males whose testicles still haven't dropped (horsemen will get that reference) routinely invited over to look at someones fish tank as an excuse for sex.

  WWJS?

  What would Jesus say? King James Bible
  Ye are of your father the devil . . . When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

  Are people being resurrected just so they can be executed?

  Yes, it would appear so. After all Ol' Tight Pants Morris needs to get his heavenly kill quota in doesn't he?

  I wonder how their god will tell them he is not willing?

  The same way they were told he was willing?

  the other day, i chatted to an elderly woman and her daughter who was about 45-50. total strangers.. we were discussing covid when the daughter said, "my neighbor studies with jw's, and the jw's told her 3 months before the virus started, that they had to stop going from door to door because something was coming.".

  i've never heard anything like this before - have you?.

  Yes, I have. Many times. Perhaps not that exact one, but I hear LIES every day, and that is just another one.

  JWs still paranoid about covid

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in the newest governing body update loesche recounts the experience of a jw who was pleased with the results of resuming in-person ministry.

  he said, 'i thought people would be scared of the virus, but they were welcoming!

  ' - 🤣 um maybe he doesn't get out much because kingdom halls are one of the few places left except hospitals that require masks.

  Just heard through the grapevine in my area that several JW's have recently come down with the latest variant. More transmissible, less dangerous. But the word is that everyone must now submit to all the GB mandated "guidelines" again, yet in all their fear of the virus they are still going ahead with in person meetings. SMDH
