  Going to Kingdom Hall for first time

  since my family is out of town, and i am alone this weekend, i have decided to attend this once to see these things for myself.

  have no fear, i have absolutely no interest in joining.

  my goal is simply to better understand how to reach those who are on the inside, and i feel i could better do that by observing it.

  That video Cantleave posted is so close to experiencing a real JW meeting it is incredible.

  The part in the first song where it changes and they all speed up was freaking hilarious, you would have to have been a JW and know this song to appreciate this. And then, the chairman with his slightly awkward manner and the constant little gaffs he makes.

  And every JW knows that feeling when they introduce the Public speaker from a visiting congregation, and up wanders a 70 something year old brother, who can't even get through his opening sentence without referring to his notes, and you then think to yourself we are in for a long morning.

  The WT study was spot on also. Little kid blurts out a two word answer at a thousand decibels, and then others take it turns at covering the paragraph virtually word for word.

  Have fun at the meeting, take a flask of Vodka and enjoy the show.

  it was six hours long.

  at the beginning of the week i had four accusers and by the time i went (half way throught the week) i was up to twelve.

  i was charged with apostasy, malicous slander, lying, revileing.

  It's exhausting just reading that. I feel for you.

  This is what happens when you don't do things Jehovah's way.

  Local Needs Talk: Brothers must repair dents and scratches on their vehicles...

  by Calebs Airplane in

  so about 8 years ago, we had a local needs talk about dents an scratches !!!!

  it was given by the cobe and this guy was just your normal everyday elder.

  except he had his occasional pet peeves... like (you guessed it) dents and scratches on some of the brothers' vehicles.

  Would it be appropriate for the brother at the conclusion of the local needs talk, to pray for the funds that would be required for the needed repairs, in order to more fully glorify Gods name and give an effective witness? Does this all come under the issue of universal sovereignty? I think it should.

  Scratches and dents make Jehovah sad. Become Jehovah's friend, get your vehicle repaired.

  Role Reversal: Placing 1969 Awake with JW's Manning the New Portable Literature Displays

  by snapdragon4 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in recent weeks the jw’s here in the uk have been setting up their new portable watchtower literature displays in my local town square on a saturday morning.

  as they hadn’t knocked on my door for at least five years, and consequently feeling somewhat neglected, i thought that i would pay them a visit instead.. .

  the first thing i needed to do was arrange my literature.

  Why does an Omni... God need Jesus and the 144,000 co-rulers?

  at the thread about jaracz steve2 made the following interesting comment.

  by now, ted should be finding his heavenly posting a routinized bore: 4 years and still counting.

  he will have chaffed at the notion that all decisions are made by jehovah god who consults no one and who brooks no questioning or independent thinking.

  Jehovah will probably just have a lot to do after Armageddon, you know with Satan and the Demons and the abyss and all.

  And he is getting older, so he probably will not want to work as hard as he use to. If he can a get few helpers in, say 144000, he will be able to concentrate on enjoying his time.

  Maybe some travel, see the universe, enjoy the grand kids, you know, normal stuff.

  These are typical questions to which Jehovah has not provided answers at this time.

  Typical questions for superstitious, mind controlled, cult victims maybe.

  To normal people these questions would just seem creepy, wierd, scary, bizarre, sad, confusing. Ultimately, the questions would just raise even more questions.

  Ahhh yes!

  The age old question....... Will men wear beards again?

  Seriously, you can't make this stuff up. Those Celebrated Watchower Scholars and their timely spiritual food.

  It is funny to think of JWs looking forward to the new system just so they can get answers to these questions.
