  Mockery

  by Steel in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  once you woke up did see mockery?

  .

  from the memorial to the new world translation to the general stupid things said in the hall it seems like some bizzaro world where some supernatural entity controls everything in an attempt to mock god..

  The one oclock meeting

  by Steel in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i go to a hall (very rarely) with a single cong of about 60 people in a small city of maybe 10000. our board of elders is a bunch of childless weirdos or at least the ones that make an effort.. they recently changed the sunday meeting time from 10/12 to 1/ 3. a number of us are pissed off.

  its makes to hard to drive to the city or go to a football game.. i just know the gestopo elders behind the change.

  if your life isnt as miserable or pointless as theirs, they arent doing their job.

  The cleaning bug

  by Steel in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i have a wife that literally cleans the house 24 7. it's hard on our marriage, our son has no natural affection for her.

  if we go to an assembly she literally spends two days waxing and polishing the car.

  she hand washes all the clothes before go into the washing machine because no machine could ever do as good a job as her.

  Jesus in the old testament

  by Steel in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  about two years ago i was challenged by a householder to do the research on the subject.

  of course thinking it was all bunk i decided to take a look off the reservation.

  much to my surprise a lot of started to make sense and i started to understand the connections between the old and new testament .

  The name of god explained

  by Steel in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  https://youtu.be/1smqa78fy3y.

  we all have our own journeys out of the wts and each person has a different trigger point.

  if you watch this video from about the 22 min to 32 min , its something a person cant unseen.. i know the average jw doesnt care about the bible but for the odd one that is sincere, this might be a great seed to plant..

  The two powers in heaven

  by Steel in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  lately i have been watching a video series by a bible scholar named michael heiser explaining the idea of there being a plurality to god in the old testament.

  the seen god and the unseen god and reading the bible though first century jewish eyes.

  of course being a somewhat of an unbeliever i checked out some bart erham videos on the subject and he basically says what this christian scholar said.. basically christ is thought to be the manifestion of god that was seen and dealt with in the old testament.

  I found my wifes new blood card

  by Steel in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i would like to say i am not in and my wife is a marginal witness at best.

  she doesn't say anything bad about the borg or live an amoral lifestyle.

  she just doesn't read the bible, or even the tracts anymore and generally has no clue about anything biblical or doctorial related.. i found my wives new card yesterday.

  Are the Elders harder on Women

  by Steel in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i was having a discussion with an old friend last night.

  her parents are divorced and his mother never became “one of jehovah witnesses “ .

  long story short she claims elders are generally hardier on women than men.

  The Ubers and Israel

  by Steel in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  over the last year in the two congregations i am somewhat involved with, several of the most uber elders have taken trips to israel.

  did some wizard have a vision and all the jws are on a mission to turn all the jews into jehovah witnesses or are they just on vacation ?

  of course i could just ask someone but that would require me attend and talk to them.
