have you ever heard some brothers own ideas and opinions spouted from the platform?
perhaps off brand or crazy ones?
some that i've heard is:.
One of the stupidest ones I heard from an elder was this quote , " It would be better for a brother to have sex with a prostitute than to masturbate , because masturbation is selfish."
A direct quote from C. W., last known to be in Cottonwood, AZ., "If you don't climax, it isn't fornication."
a letter was read tonight in our kingdom hall that the money that the circuits in the indianapolis area had in savings to build a new assembly hall will now be transferred to the www to build kingdom halls in lands where they are needed and a new assembly hall for us will not be built.. we had a beautiful assembly hall near downtown indy that was paid for.
it was sold a couple of years ago.
we were promised a new assembly hall to be built in southern ohio near the indiana border but they can kiss that goodbye now.
What happens if there are people who vote against a resolution?
IDK about other congregations, but in the one where I am located I have seen the "resolutions" in the file. Being FedUp with the whole shooting match I ALWAYS vote "against" every resolution since I began voting with my pocketbook. The ones I saw had two spots, one marked FOR:____ and one marked AGAINST:____. The "FOR" line simply has ALL written in, and the "AGAINST" line had NONE written. Damned liars on top of being thieves!
just wondering what would happen if a brother saying a prayer in a meeting did it in the name of michael the archangel instead of closing the prayer with "jesus christ".
since jw's believe michael is jesus would he be counseled?
what if a brother used the name michael the archangel in their public talks instead of jesus?

Same thing that would happen if a JDub called God Yahweh instead of Jehovah.
I am thinking that Bobby2446 your user name, but your title is shit-for-brains.The organization absolutely could do something to a brother who prays that way.
(1) praying on the “name” of Michael it’s not in line with the Bible
(2) The organization is under no obligation to let him pray (in other words, you have no “right” to remain a JW or to offer prayers).
That basically ends it.
the may 2018 watchtower is now out and thought i would make a few observations.in this article we get a story about gb sam herd.
the recurring theme throughout is the struggles he has had as a black man.he was born in 1935 in a one roomed log cabin in liberty indiana.
his mother raised him in the baptist church.
It'd be a very dull world indeed.
Almost like...dare I say it...the Kingdom Hall!
is this true?
is this really true?!.

Well after perusing the first part of the rebuttal video I can honestly say I agree 100% with one thing that Walls said. He said to "take advantage of mature sisters," and I know a handful of mature sisters I would surely like to take advantage of, even though it is a different type of advantage I would enjoy taking with them!

A sister compliments a man on his hair cut, or his clothing? That is "totally inappropriate." according to these pinhead's!
Just wait until I get a chance to use THAT little nugget of "wisdom" when some sister says something nice to me!

... the same ones who clicked the trailer several times each (which will mask the actual number of unique views)
Just like the WT bragging about the high number of visits to Jay Double You dot Org, when we all know that the figure is inflated due to the JDubs who click multiple times!
No go F--K OFF Booby!!!
i ask this question for the following reason.
i was sitting at the kingdom hall thinking about all the rules, procedures, policies, teachings that each member must follow ......or else!.
at the watchtower study we are reminded of the paradise earth where we will all be the same and happy.
Has Watchtower taken the joy out of 'the good news of the kingdom'
No. Cannot take something that never existed.
i was thinking about the jdub paradise this morning and all of the pictures in the watchtower company's literature illustrating the new system of things.. here is a partial list of what you see in the pictures:.
pet pandas, lions, elephants.
people always on a picnic with lots of beautiful fruits and vegetables.
Now if you are faithful thru that test you will get everlasting life.
Well at least until the NEXT test! I am pretty sure there will be some "nulite" about THAT!
just seen this announced on reddit:.
ken cook was announced today at morning worship as the new member of the governing body.
i dont recall him from the broadcasts, but he was formally a helper on the writing committee as per https://www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses/faq/governing-body/.
The fruitcakes on jwtalk are all aflutter over this, of course.
That's my next stop. Of course I had to "inoculate" myself here first!
