  If you're "anointed" don't seek out other "anointed" so says the Watchtower January 2020

  by RolRod in

  when i was affiliated with the witnesses, there were barely 6,000 who profess to be of the anointed remnant.

  i recently read somewhere that today there are over 20,000 who profess to be anointed.

  that figure may be more when you consider those who meet and partake privately for fear of the stigma of claiming to be anointed.

  We used to have them. Specialer in a different way than the GB. They would get together snd talk about going to heaven and what it would be like. Some recruited. I think one woman was having visions.

  One of the yoyos approached an old "real" annointed to shake her hand and be special. She shut him right down.

  Going on the tenuous assumption the annointed story is correct, the WT is right to squelch these.

  Of course we do have a " real" one whose big brother is going to teach him how to ride a horse and kill people

  Is wifi sensitivity the new chemical sensitivity?

  by purrpurr in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  several of the jws i know have recently graduated/incorporated wifi sensitivity into their (self) diagnosis of chemical sensitivity.

  they seem to be particularly terrified of the new 5g, with some even believing that it's the new 5g that's causing coronavirus in china.

  the fact that even though they maybe able to turn off their own wifi but will still have all the other wifi signals around them doesn't seem to occur to these jws.

  Showing the face. I like that.

  I am sure there are others, but no way to feel them out. I get stern looks and kickback when i mention how 65 years ago we were in the last minutes too.

  Is the no records an european thing? So far in the US I havent heard it

  " didnt see it; True ( capitol t) christians have always had enemies"

  Anyway we were told that everything is handled properly.

  Elder, his wife, and, another sister sat here yesterday commenting on how the police are always called, no involvement of the WT lawyer team. Good old Bill sat there mum, he has the inside scoop.

  BTW. He is the one to turn to if SHTF but I am far more capable than he.

  Have You Ever Been Scammed?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  of course we all were scammed while we were jehovah’s witnesses.

  i’m thinking of ways besides religion.. a popular scam is to get a call from your electric company saying they overbilled you and needed to verify your name, address and social security number.

  then they will send you your money back.

  I am a skeptical sort so mostly no. Used cars are a grey area.

  I do have a chance right now to get a M1 carbine that will shoot 1 inch at several thousand yards. For you non gun people the .30 carbine has an affective effective range of 300 yards and max at something like 2500 but you couldnt hit a barn on purpose

  Kh's will be gone in 5 years! Here's how it will work

  by nowwhat? in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  besides the media center they are going to build in n.y. it's been noted they are also building one and a studio in australia.

  there is no way donations can cover these massive projects.

  so the money will have to come from the sale of the remaining halls.

  There are already most of the pimi following the broadcasts like housewives following soap operas. As a practical matter there is already a one elder per arrangement with the service groups. I notice the neighbors moving their cars to the street on meeting days for service. A cop could write tickets for double parking, blocking driveways, and parking on sidewalks if he came by. Despite zoning there is a public nuisance angle that could be enforced.

  There was a slight push last meetings to actually use tracts ( printed material) instead of just conversing. And specially pointed comments by " leaders" that since WT said we are in last minutes it is URGENT. seems people are getting tired
