  Time to remind JWs of this famous quote from CT Russell!

  by stuckinarut2 in

  with the ever present issue of the society seeming to run out of money, and constantly asking the flock for more donations, maybe it is time to revive this quote!.

  the leaked financial dept videos that have done the rounds, clearly show the society is in desperate trouble financially.. so, where is the "almighty's hand"?

  where is his ability to provide funds?

  Fink, spot on. They may lose numbers and have a neg. increase but they will not just give up. They went through a lot of crap over the 1975 and the kool-aid drinkers were all too happy to drink up.

  JWs & "generations"

  by Magnum in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we all know what a mess the jw "generation" teachings have been.

  but, there is one hard and fast truth concerning jws and "generations" - that is, that many generations of jws have died without the realization of the hope they were promised.. there were many before my grandfather's time, but i'm going to start with his.

  his generation, his peers, lived at a time when jwdom was exciting, bold, confident, seemingly deeper and scholarly, seemingly genuinely concerned about the preaching work and saving lives.

  A lot of times what happens is some brother who has a business gives them a token job. They have to now work till dead. My Grandfather was a CO for several years, and a SP for some years. Then an elder in his older age. I could tell he knew that there was some BS in the cult. He never said it but he took a job as a prison guard to get a small pension. If you work in "hazardous" job for the gov, its only 10 years and you get a pension. He never said that is what he did but before that he worked as an orange picker, furniture mover, book keeper for a small business and carpet installer. Anything to keep the bills paid. When he was a SP he had one child my mother. She was not planed and was told this all the time. They lived on picking up bottles along the road in Maine in the SP work along with the small stipend that was given them by the cult. His pension was only 300 a month but it was enough to help pay some bills. The cult is evil. It will continue to do what it does as long as kool aid drinkers drink the drink.

  Jesus with an iPad. Really?

  by punkofnice in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  at a local meeting, one of the elders said that if jesus were on the earth today 'you can be sure' he would be preaching by showing videos on a tablet.. i kid you not.. i wonder what videos he'd be playing?.

  obviously this was the elder's own pet theory.

  wasn't it?.

  The 2018 World Cup - will it stop a nasty aspect?

  by The Fall Guy in

  the world cup in russia is being used to launch v.a.r.

  - video assistant referee.

  it will be very interesting to see if/how it affects the almost obligatory cheating offences of pulling/pushing which occur every time players are in each other's penalty area.

  JWs at the Movies

  by Wake Me Up Before You Jo-Ho in

  1. social
  2. humour

  so i was watching some of the dramas screened at the be courageous convention, and one caught my eye.. it's the scene where a group of jw teens are watching something deemed as "sinful" at the movie theaters.

  there were only sound effects, so i decided to fill in the blanks.. https://vimeo.com/275184883.

  bottom line: machine guns = bad.
