What's the deal with Cheese and Apple Danishes at conventions.

by pistolpete in

this was before my time, but there was this post that had 308 comments testifying that the best thing of being a jehovah witness back in the day was the convention's meals.

is this true?.

one quote out of 308;.

The sloppy joes were the better food. I soent a night chasing flies off it once. And yes we did get food poisoning big time. Few things can top diarrhea while away from home and staying in a camper, not even in a motel.

I used to puzzle over fried chicken, wearing a suit. Now I realize the food service was justanother money scam.

My very fondest memory is driving a couple hundred miles, checking in, and having passionate sex. Something about the trip did it. Meeting my wife at the hall was one of the few good things to come from jwism.

Watchtower online religion.

by asp59 in

should we refer watchtower as to a online religion now?

i mean we could discuss if they ever return to kingdom hall's in the future.

if most of them haven't been sold.

Woken

Can you give country, city? We know some can't be too specific. Old hall or one that should be replaced anyway?

Spencer Larson JW singer - Psycho Chick

by neat blue dog in

here's another singer who's done a bunch of jw broadcasting original songs, and you'll probably recognize his face from the wt chorus (his voice is very recognizable i.e.

he sings through his nose terribly).

anyways check out this extremely cringe song of his, psycho chick:.

Aside from being wrong age group to like whatever genre that is, the lyrics seem to be from the same writer as the " new original songs".

He ought to stick with preschooler songs.

Australia's Religious Discrimination Act.

by fulltimestudent in

jw
friends

this is an interesting and intriguing new law (or, it will be if enacted in its present form).. quote: "the proposed new religious discrimination act is intended to prevent a person from being discriminated against on the basis of their religion.".

fair enough, but to get it through the house of representatives last night, the government accepted some changes.. the first draft (discussed last night) had a clause that may have impacted the rights of some gay and/or trans-sexual students at religious schools by allowing a religious school to expel such a student.

last night the government was forced to accept changes that removed that possibility.

This part of the woke crap. You will be told what to believe, have an assigned religion (government approvedz) and be forced to admit womrn are trapped in male bodies and men can get pregnant.

Bit cut from annual meeting

by neat blue dog in

does anyone have access to the leaked copy of the annual meeting?

because on part 2 (released as the feb. 2022 monthly program) there is a piece cut out at the 1:30:20 mark..

It is all conspiracy theories. They edited for time. Just like they rewrote literature to keep the pages neat.

I swear a few talks have a photo shopped head on a trim body instead of the corpulent reality.

JW’s and Charity Organizations

by longgone in

i was wondering if anyone is aware of the jw’s in general being involved financially and/or as volunteers in charity organizations?

i was a born in jw for 56 years and left in 2016. as far as i remember there was never any encouragement to help in the community in any way.

including soup kitchens, tutoring at schools, united way, etc.

People dont need hospitals, blankets, shelter, food. They need watchtowers.

I have heard it likened to giving jehovahs due to the world.

Here (USA, midwest- mountain) I have heard no one want to go back. Not pioneers or other bona fide ones.

AM III off topic remarks online @ jw.org

jw
friends

am iiii off topic remarks at the anual meeting, are online at broadcasting.. he says in the early 70s he did not believe the end was near, and told his sons not to believe jw's who stating the end is near because the system could go on to 2020.. g..

road to nowhere

Let any if us say we think the end is not imminent and see what happens. I had my doubts in 75 because they are never right.

So far family has not caught on this stuff is on jw.ogre so have not had to sit through it

Righteousness According To Watchtower

by Sea Breeze in

take a look at this heresy:"righteousness is the state of being right with god by complying with his standards of good and bad.

"- the watchtower—study edition | july 15, 2001 | blessings are for the righteous onewow!

my bible says in several places that "there is no one righteous, no not one".

road to nowhere

Contrast ( self,) righteous and good. A CO I think gave a talk on it. I, my dad, brothers never have been righteous but all were and are good.

Complying with Gods standards is not bad; but they really mean .org standards.

There is still a local arrangement. If halls sell it will break that down. The more they produce videos will work to it.

They will still need the local enforcers if the new studio thing gets built.
