i ask this question because i have personally experienced first hand the control and intrusion into my personal life by the elders at our hall; and for virtually trivial things or non issues!

what's more, i regularly hear of individuals moving to other halls because they were stumbled by the thought police....er, i mean these elders.. have you had any such experience?

have your elders been a bit ott over trivialities?.

road to nowhere

had one who would call like clockwork after every bookstudy, interrupting; he knew. When young it was a given on any trip including to conventions, morners, nooners, and the whole shebang.

it is amazing how much others "know".

Ours has been good, only ever each other; which works well. foreplay is up to your imagination

Attendents sit at the best seats

by Quarterback in

well it's been awhile since i got angry and wanted to post on here again.

last week's watchtower about the subject of love had something to say about the hard working attendants.

it seems that they are choosing to sit in the best seats at the convention.

men sit on the end to control their family!! back when I had to find a seat where I could see and respond to my section, and my family belongs with me. I have seen attendants saving the whole rows with mags though. Hey! with fewer mags what are we going to deo?

getting in..

by zeb in

the things that asks for street sign or cars takes longer than it ever did and the pictures do a slow fade to come on and then it does it again.. its a pain this never happened before.. surely once is enough to prove i am not a robot..

not all us can remain signed in. family computer do they on purpose hide a little car in the back in a garage? it took me about 20 tries, not really worth my time if I had anything else to do, and not that much to input

Can someone tell me why Joan's ark and the flood not true and impossible?

by Gokumonkey in

hey everyone.

i have a question and i hope i'm not confusing this with something else i heard.

while watching ex jw videos on youtube many of them talk about how noah's ark and the flood didn't happen and it's impossible.

how did the olive tree ? and water pressure and all pushed the mountains up? I can believe that a little EXCEPT that 2 of the 4 rivers are still there??????

May as well bring up the half gazillion people inhabiting the earth 200 years later at Babel.

backhanded compliment to Sunday speaker

by road to nowhere in

a couple years ago we had a speaker, better than average, give the talk.

since i was still pretty much a believer, i commented to him how i enjoyed the talk, and how it was "entertaining".

it was, but he got mad as it was one of the beat the fear of god (governing body) into you talks.

I wasn't doing anything of the things mentioned, so had no guilt; but he apparently wanted everyone to do a repentance and "march to the altar" or something

By keeping my lapel card on after the program, I was able to provide a "Fine Witness"!

by stuckinarut2 in

yes friends!.

after the program, i kept my "lapel badge" on.. so while filling up my car with fuel, the attendant asked me about it.

i was able to share some great points about the wonderful program my wife and i had just enjoyed in sydney all weekend!.

is this one of the enhanced experiences?

Scientific, Credible Discovery - Earthquakes are set to increase in 2018

by ILoveTTATT2 in

friends

it has already been published and presented in a geology conference:it has been discovered that the earth´s rotation slows down a few milliseconds every so often, and when it slows down, about 5 years later there is a 5-year period where the frequency of large earthquakes around magnitude 7 or greater increases about 20-30%.so according to scientists, in 2018, around the tropical areas, we should expect around 20 major earthquakes, compared to the 15 average on a normal year.jw´s are likely to jump on this as "evidence" of the time of the end, and will probably be misquoted in a watchtower publication sometime soon.here are some news organizations covering the story:https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/nov/18/2018-set-to-be-year-of-big-earthquakeshttps://qz.com/1133304/as-earths-rotation-slows-2018-could-see-a-spike-in-large-earthquakes/.

stupid questions

by road to nowhere in

paragraph 4 today: "what are we gonna consider?

" maybe that is the article title?

the other is: "what will we consider next week?

road to nowhere

I didn't look up the exact phrasing this week, hence the gonna and citing the wrong paragraph number. The same stupid questions are in nearly all the studies, and the conductor can at times spend 5 minutes on it. It is mind numbing. They can go past something that could be discussed with some thought so fast you can't even keep up.
