  My last Memorial

  by Sour Grapes in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i missed my first memorial last year in 60 years.

  it always amazed me on this special night that the jw's forget how to park their cars in the parking lot.

  i would pull in with my wife and there are 5 brothers giving directions on where and how to park my car.

  I just love the giant theological holes in the memorial talk every year. I think anyone with even a basic understanding of the new testament can see it's mocking what Jesus did on the cross.

  if you believe in that type if thing.

  Memorial Attendance: The Single Most Impactful TTATT "Witness" to Family and Friends

  by AMNESIANO in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  anyone who has awakened to ttatt and conscientiously left the organization--especially a once-prominent individual from a prominent multi-generational tribe of jws-- after decades of devout, high-profile "serve-us," who continues to put in an annual appearance at the memorial thoroughly subverts and undermines, by this one act, any hope s/he may entertain that his/her departure will stir family or former friends to question the whole watchtower bamboozle.

  by this one concession s/he assigns him-/herself by every single jw to their handy and dimissive purgatory: the "spiritually-weak.".

  nothing blasts a louder, clearer, and more deliberate message to the jws who personally knew you and those familiar with your jw bona fides that you are not merely "not making the meetings" or "spiritually-weak" but that there is a conscientious reason you have rejected the entire watchtower society life than choosing to forego what they know you know to be their one-and-only holy and sacred event of the year, the lord's evening meal.

  The so called memorial makes my skin crawl. It's literally a satanic cermony about pledging your allegiance the governing body.

  Satanism according to my understanding is it actually an extreme form of atheism that actually goes so far in it' belief there is no god , it actually mocks the Christian faith. It's all based on mockery not actually the occult or devil' and such.

  I have seen this mockery in the kingdom hall many times. From the disgusting so called memorial to white washing a history of doctrinal flp flops while running down other churches to the abortion called the new world translation.

  Jehovah witness to Satanist isn't really that big a jump.

  One lady mid 40s and single. All she really wanted was a family. She came from an uber family and going off the reservation for a mate wasn't an option.

  I guess when that last egg dried up and she realized she wasted her entire life being an unpaid telemarketer.

  Well. I guess we all know how it ended.

  Memorial Invite

  by littlerockguy in

  1. jw

  i moved back to my hometown almost a year ago after being away for almost 20 years.

  since that time it's gotten around to others in the area and my relatives how i view the organization, not to mention that my brother and sister have outed me to some people about my sexual orientation and that's all it takes.

  so now i feel estranged somewhat from relatives i used to be close to even though i have not been outright shunned by them.

  I am still trying to figure out the point of hosting it since they changed the meaning of the faithful slave.

  president trump is definitely a demagogue, a populist, and not a great extemporaneous speaker, just to mention few of his more conspicuous flaws.

  however, i was going along because "it's the economy stupid".

  now that has changed.

  The strange part about Trumps policies is when he threatens tariffs against Canada and Mexico , he actually lowers the value of both the Canadian dollar and Mexican peso to the US dollar thus making it harder for the United States to export and making it more attractive for an Americans to buy from other countries.

  I live in a border town and no one cross the line to shop anymore. Especially Building supplies which he already put tariffs on. I just priced out a garage package at Home Depot in the US and my local lumber yard and the mom and pop shop was actually cheaper.

  idiot.

  I am not really sure how a country that feels its getting a raw deal exporting there products is going to make this better by making there products even more expensive.

  Hey you don' want buy my car at 15000, well fuck you buddy, now I want 17000.

  Any jobs Trump protects will be wiped out if inflation takes hold even just 2 percent. If my mortgage went from 3 to 5 , my payments would jump 500 dollars. That is 500 dollars I don't have to spend.

  Times 100 million households. Not good.

  The WTS essentially a belief that Jesus died for anointed Christians or 144 who can only be understood by seven magical men called the faithful slave. Though your works and obedience to the wizards you can be saved.

  I see you have moved from the basic bible facade to the guts of what they teach. The superiority of the WTS to all other Christian denominations.

  Keep going and you get to learn about the magical wizards next.

  Congrats on being smart enough to pick up on how pompous and arrogant it is.

  Rubbing one out has actually kept me from making some very bad decisions when I was younger.

  I am sure it has saved me a few stds and maybe an unwanted pregnacy or two. Getting a girl pregnat of course.

  I have always seen a certain level of mockery in the WTS but this is literally homosexual erotica.

  Besides of the writers of gay porn, who the fire tuck actually thinks about this stuff and talks about it.
