by Simon in

Loosing your Privleges and Scumbag elders

by Addison0998 in

so 9 months before i started pioneering, i had a hot and heavy moment with this player witness who was just trying to string me along and talked to a lot of different girls.

we made out and he grabbed my goodies a few times you know the regular stuff all teens do at least once.

anyways i never saw him again because when i refused to send him nudes he dropped me.

Interesting that the Elder's manual says that if it is discovered that an Elder or Ministerial Servant committed a gross wrong several years ago that they may be able to continue serving.

Shame that your nemesis didn't wait another year so you could plead several years ago! Not that it would matter, you are just a lowly female pioneer!

How long is a generation?

by LevelThePlayingField in

what splain does in his talk and chart illustration is make the leap that a generation can have two groups.

and in this case the two groups span more than 108 years.

but no where in scripture is there ever a notion that a generation has two groups.

Since we are on the subject, yesterday on the TV show Jeopardy, there was a question about the length of a generation, and the answer..... 30 years!

Lloyd’s new book

by jwfacts in

i see there has already been discussion over lloyd’s new book how to leave the jehovah's witnesses.

this includes discussion around his personality, motives and financial gains.

i have written a foreword for this book, because it is an important topic that has not been covered in such a complete format before.

Do You Care If A World Leader Had An Affair Before Taking Office?

i don’t care about it unless someone runs on a record of being a model family man or woman.. does it bother you if a president or princess or top government official “cheats “??

I like the fact that Trump's infidelity emphasizes the "Christian right" hypocrisy.

$5.5 Million to be transferred to World Wide Work from Assembly Hall fund

by Sour Grapes in

a letter was read tonight in our kingdom hall that the money that the circuits in the indianapolis area had in savings to build a new assembly hall will now be transferred to the www to build kingdom halls in lands where they are needed and a new assembly hall for us will not be built.. we had a beautiful assembly hall near downtown indy that was paid for.

it was sold a couple of years ago.

we were promised a new assembly hall to be built in southern ohio near the indiana border but they can kiss that goodbye now.

....hmm

Not doing what you said you would?

What happened to :

Matthew 5:37 Just let your word ‘Yes’ mean yes, your ‘No,’ no, for what goes beyond these is from the wicked one.

The fly doesn't know it's in a bottle....

by dubstepped in

jw

... the walls are transparent.

so if you want to help the fly escape you first have to convince the fly that it's in a bottle, and only then can it find its way out.

that is taken from this american life episode 635 called "chip in my brain".

zophar

I was surprised he was found guilty, especially in the State of Texas. It is a religiously conservative State and there are a lot of fundamentalists, many of which believe in the implanted chip being the Mark Of The Beast. No one can buy or sell without the Mark.

That is what AJ believes too, but like you said he was excellent at employing "Theocratic Warfare" he just probably known it is called that!

Thanks for the link.

Did you notice they refer to "the male animal?"

Does that mean they now support evolution, we are merely animals and not the image of God?

"Wondrous expansion is now taking place!"

by stuckinarut2 in

so we have all heard the worldwide reports about khalls being sold off and congregations being amalgamated etc.... of course, jws are being told that these actions are a sign of "just how much the work is progressing, and how jehovah is blessing the increase and expansion!".

i can share the following from my part of the world too!.

in perth, western australia the following has occurred.. three "new" congregations have been formed!

zophar

In the description of the property we read:

The alternative is for community and church groups to enjoy the substantial improvements and car parking area, knowing the underlying land value is significant.

.....so they also have the positive feature that they can help expand Babylon the Great thanks to the hard work, and evidently with the blessings of God's happy people!
