  "...it needs addressing... It's the 'metro sexual' look... that's the tight suit jacket and the tight pants, better known as 'tight pants'. And they are tight, I mean tight, all the way down to the ankle. And that is not modest brothers. No. It's not appropriate. It's not sound of mind.

  I was proud of one circuit overseer who told me... one of these fella's shows up for his circuit overseer's visit and wants to go out in the ministry and work with him door-to-door, and he's wearing tight pants. And the circuit overseer was man enough - spiritual man enough - to say: "No, I'm not going door-to-door with you. Not with that dress-up. Inappropriate." So, a lot to think about. And, you elders out there listening in, you be kind now, you always want to try to imitate christ jesus. You be spiritual man enough to tell these young fella's: "you don't go out in the ministry looking like that. Not in this organization.

  And frankly, I have asked sister after sister: "what do you think of this? Do you find that appealing, attractive? You know, I'm just curious, 'cause I'm not a woman." And you know what? I haven't met one yet that thought they look good.

  And like I've been telling them, and others, and this is a FACT, the homosexuals that are designing theses clothes - they like you in tight pants."

  How many in the cong visited you when you started fading

  by joe134cd in

  i'm just curious speaking from a person who has stopped going to meetings.

  i have heard reports from inactive ones (or from ones who the elders suspect of going to the dark side) of having so many visits from elders (cong members) that it got to the point of harassment.

  surprisingly i have to say from personal experience and from numerous others that i have spoken to that the exact opposite has been the case.

  For six months after we started missing meetings absolutely NO ONE tried to contact us. Keep in mind that we never spoke our mind to anyone – so no one could have known why we weren’t at the meetings.

  Then, finally, two elders stopped by. Neither of them had ever conversed with us before, literally. And guess why they came. CO’s visit.

  Have you ever had an elderly person die at your Kingdom Hall during a meeting? I’ve seen it TWICE. On both occasions no one noticed until it came time for the song. Everyone stands up, except sister dead. There’s a slight kerfuffle in the rows around her. Brother first-aid lays her on the ground between the chairs. What does everyone else do?? Keep singing. Then the Watchtower starts. No acknowledgment at all of the fire truck that’s shown up or the paramedics awkwardly pushing down the row. Literally no disruption. That should give you some idea of just how close these ‘friends’ are, #not.

  New congregation accounting system

  by thedog1 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i'm sure i read a thread here about the new congregation accounting procedures.

  i ask because i handle the accounts in our cong and in our part of the world the new accounting system has just arrived whereby local congs do not have their own account any longer, but all funds outside of basic monthly costs is forwarded to an account controlled by the org.

  this is causing huge confusion in our cong as we have to work out how much we need to keep back for monthly costs and the new idea is that you send all your extra cash to the org and if you need it back you can ask for it but we don't know how easy or hard it would be to do that.

  I can confirm this for Canada. I was an accounts servant until last year. Extra funds are transferred to the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society and recorded on page two of the report as “funds on deposit with Watchtower”. In our case, it amounted to nearly 40k at one point. That money was returned to the congregation for a renovation project.

  Why “Thousands of years” instead of Billions???

  by Bloody Hotdogs! in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jws have long ascribed billions of years to the age of the earth, yet only thousands to the length of the creative days (see 2014 awake!

  on creation).

  what game are they playing??

  This is outrageous! JWs are so smug about NOT being creationists. This has to be among their most blatant lies.

  They don’t even say ‘tens’ or ‘hundreds’ of thousands – only ‘thousands’, like more than one, but less than what; ten?

  Are they sticking with the old idea that each day was seven thousand years long? If so, the continents would be no older than 40k years! Dinosaurs would be living around the time of early man! HOW ARE JWs NOT YOUNG EARTH CREATIONISTS??

  Some really funny and disturbing stuff. Worth a listen.

  16:00

  “There’s nothing wrong with Disney World or Disney Land. We took our sons there.”

  16:16

  “Have your children been to that amusement park…. And never to Bethel? You’ve been there and you didn’t take them to Bethel yet?? Explain that to Jehovah. That’s a problem.”

  18:00

  Going to bethel = more spiritual person

  21:30

  “In my opinion”

  TV is never to be on during meal time.

  24:00

  “Teens labeled ‘not well adjusted’ didn’t eat many times a week with their family”

  26:00

  “If your family isn’t [eating together] very much, guess what? The Devil has attacked you and your family”

  33:10

  “Part of the responsibility of the Faithful Slave is to admonish and to warn…. Here’s what we said in that [WT] article…”

  35:00

  Your children will survive Armageddon if “they are spiritually alive and strong to the extent appropriate for their age.”

  35:30

  “So frankly, if you’re not prepared as a parent to help strengthen the spirituality of your children, sit them down, and say goodbye. Jehovah is never sentimental”

  38:20

  “…they have what they call the ‘Metrosexual’ look”

  “What it means is that, if they have suite on, or their pants extremely tight all the way down to the ankles, very, very tight.”

  “What’s wrong is this extremely tight pants!”

  “And I want you brothers to remember this: Many, many, many homosexuals are in the clothing industry doing the designing. Don’t you know they love it when you’re wearing tight pants? Oh yeah…. You chuckle. I don’t think it’s funny. I think it’s disgusting! Think hard about it. You don’t look as good as you think you do, except to a homosexual…. You look disgusting!”

  Jehovah disciplines those he loves. Are you going thow away those pants?

  44:00

  “I see some brothers wearing some ties – now there’s not way I would wear that tie.”

  48:30

  “…….when he’s resurrected, you tell him spoke fondly of him [King David]”

  I have to go to work now, but he's tlking about movies at 54:00......

  OMFG Dinosaurs and Noah

  by konceptual99 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just fell off my chair whilst listening to the bible "highlights".

  someone has actually just said that the flood account actually helps inform scientists on matters that perplex them.

  for example for decades they have wondered how the dinosaurs all disappeared but if they looked at the account of the flood then they would see the answer.

  Why has no one looked up Dinosaurs in the WT library?? The last word is a 1990 Awake feature article all about Dinosaurs.

  It claims that no one can know for sure when Dinosaurs died out, because Carbon Dating (OMFG!!!) is flawed. 'Some people' believe dinosaurs were destroyed in the flood of Noah's day.

  Topics not often discussed now

  by jdubsnub in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  when i was a kid in the early 90's there always seemed to be a mention of how demons posessing people or how if you saw a demon or something supernatural occuring mearly calling jehovah's name would rid you of the situation.

  rarely now a days do you hear anything of the sort.

  that got me to thinking, what are some other topics the society has backed off of?

  i was already on my way to my second fade when i went to the wildlife photographer of the year 2012 exhibition, but this photo made me lose faith in the idea of a loving creator......(the gazelle has been injured by the mother cheetah so she can use it to train her cubs to hunt).

  pontoon, the new 'Imitate their faith' book says: "In time, Able came to grasp a profound truth: If - with the right motive - he simply offered to Jehovah the best of what he had, his loving Father would be pleased."

  I think we are supposed to believe that Able simply made a bet when he murdered the first animal - a bet that paid off! Cain was probably just upping the anti.... "if killing an animal gets God all hot and bothered, imagine what killing a human will do!"
