  Today’s meeting and CO visit

  by Addison0998 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the meeting today was quite disturbing as usual and had to endure 2 talks by yet another egotistical, pompous co who gives talks like a hardcore southern baptist, but people adore no matter what crazy shit spews from their mouth.

  today, he talked about jesus illustration about how if your eye or hand stumbles you, remove it.

  he went into gory detail about how somebodies eye ball is pulled out from their head, and what it takes to cut someone’s hand off...perhaps even with a pocketknife...in front of many small children in the audience.

  Think does in the congregation do the same thing. They cherry-pick and read only article's that are about love. The other stuff some of this mental unstable person write ,many in the organization don't bother reading anymore.

  Reaction to baptism figures

  talking about tomorrow's wt study, that mentions over a quarter of a million baptized every year, a jw asked how many that is a day.

  i got out my calculator and answered over 778 a day.

  of course they were amazed at the growth, but immediatly i googled another statistic and read it aloud:.

  In the western world if does in the congregation wouldn't have any children it would be minus growth in every country. You almost only see JWs kids being baptized.

  Are there any young witnesses that don't seek higher education this days? The only one I know that don't is cause they don't like to study. Why are they always bringing up subject that are not relevant anymore.

  What's it like these days for teenagers?

  by JeffT in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i converted at age 22, and left 15 years later (1988) so i don't really know what its like to be in high school as a jw.

  for those of you who do know: do teenage jw's hang out with each other?

  worldly kids?

  Think it's worse today for youngsters. Back in the 80s there were some kind of unity. Maybe not unity, but there were congregation partys and such. Not much of that anymore.

  1 Timothy 4:15
  

  Be diligent in these matters; give yourself wholly to them, so that everyone may see your progress.

  Paulus is talking about public reading (platform)

  There's no scores here. Either you are progressing and it's clear to everyone.

  Or you are not.

  GB maybe are good at preaching work

  When it come to platform BIG mistake having GB members on broadcasting or travelling giving talks.

  Cause that they are never progressing in the platform is clear to earth and heaven's.

  Don't be too Christian, you'll raise red flags

  by neat blue dog in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  for the past few years all my comments and talks have been a purely christian message.

  i tiptoe around wt dogma and focus on the basics of love, life compassion, etc.

  and i deliberately do not use jw terminology whenever i can.
