Craziest Speculations You’ve heard about the end and paradise

by Addison0998 in

we’ve all heard them all our life.

my two biggest stupidest ones i think are, “ we can really tell the end is almost here with the way people drive on the highway.” and a girl who said she wants to hurry up and marry her boyfriend because she’s scared if the end comes before their married, she’ll have to wait 1000 years to marry him.

oh and also a poor old lady saying that she hopes jehovah wipes away the memory of her disfellowshipped sons that he will have to destroy.

That we can live forever on earth in perfection That elders will be princes on Earth. Old people will become young again. Dead people will be resurrected. There will be no more death, pain, suffering, etc. 144,000 wackos will rule over the paradise earth. We will have time to learn anything we want so we won't be bored. I will be able to have a lion or tiger as a pet. I guess we will only eat fruit, veggies and bread. Everyone will be smiling all of the time and dressed in their culture's clothing.

I know there's many more that I heard or read about from some old farts in NY but I can't think of them at the moment.

2018 Courage Convention video invitation

by Listener in

the video invitation for the 2018 convention is just creepy.

i thought it was some parody at first as it seems 'dark'.it begins with a young man being pushed whilst standing at his locker and the voice over says that 'in critical times we need courage more than ever'.

next, comes a clip of a male putting his hand on the shoulder of a female worker, the look she gives him would be enough to give him nightmares for the next year.

Haha so before the sister could at least give an awkward smile and respectfully decline if some guy flirted with her, but now it's the "dude what the hell you flirting with me for don't you know I'm a cult member!" face.

Cart witnessing at the Toyota Grand Prix

by Dagney in

jw
friends

picture 185,000 people on the streets attending the biggest event in long beach.

there is a main downtown street which is the only way into the grand prix.

it’s chaos because it is not private property that can be contained; these are working boulevards with cars and people vying to get where they want to go.

Are you serious

The pioneers in the congregation I was in love doing the carts because of the easy hours. What a ridiculous waste of time!

Proposed Georgia(USA) Assembly Hall Collected Funds, 3.5 Million Dollars, donated to the World Wide Work

by James Jack in

from 2012 thru 2016, congregations in georgia and alabama collected funds to build a new assembly hall in south atlanta.

to date, 3.5 million dollars was collected and 75 acres was purchased.

the branch decided that this assembly hall was not needed.

Are you serious

We forget that some assembly halls have two or three residences for traveling overseers and other important folk. Maybe that's why this property has 75 acres which seems like alot even with parking. The Puyallup, WA assembly hall has a few residences on the property.

So the 3.5 million is gone. Do you have any idea what they will be selling the property for?

WT rules about forgiving a cheating spouse

by Addison0998 in

does anyone else think it’s weird and controlling the organization says if your mate commits adultry, and then you have sex with them, you are not free to remarry again, since this means you forgave them.

the bible never mentions anything about this.

it’s so weird they have a say about what goes on behind closed doors of two people who are still legally married.

Are you serious

I actually think it's an honest question by Addison 0998. The cult makes up so many absurd and crazy rules and once you're awake and out you finally have the opportunity to question each one without repercussions.

Affected by assembly

by Saltheart Foamfollower in

hi - first some context - i have been pimo for about 20 years now and so have been to a lot of assemblies in that time.

last weekend i went to a circuit assembly and for the first time afterwards i was able to talk directly to someone who knows i'm out.

i realised then that although i didn't agree with any teachings (i sat picking holes in the arguements as usual) the experience of being there had affected me - the way of life started feeling normal as did the overall way of viewing the world.

Are you serious

Unfortunately it works for the cult.

How Precious Is A Governing Body Mole(Double Agent, 5th Colunm) To Sabatoge The Watchtower Organization?

by Brokeback Watchtower in

i would suppose that there are many at very sensitive operations at headquarters and around the world that are moles or double agents a 5th column if you will that are in but mentally out and full of hated for the governing body.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/fifth_column.

a fifth column is any group of people who undermine a larger group from within, usually in favour of an enemy group or nation.

the activities of a fifth column can be overt or clandestine.

I'm starting to believe this also.
