  Blondie's Comments You Will Not Hear at the 02-10-2013 WT Study (TRUSTED STEWARDS)

  your relationship with god will then be like that of those christians to whom paul wrote: you do not belong to yourselves, for you were bought with a price.

  for example, the comments jesus made about one.

  master, jesus christ.1 cor.

  Thankyou Blondie!

  Loved the mention in para.7

  "God has in his undeserved kindness
  imparted to all of us gifts, assets, abilities,
  or talents that we can use to benefit
  fellow believers". Is that a back door mention of money?...

  "please take your seats".....take em where?....into the carpark? ...home?

  cant remember the song - "like bees that were molested"...eh?

  illustration in a talk followed by "its a bit like that today"

  "likewise today"

  one that drove me nuts at arsemblies - "can all those who are able please stand and sing blah blah" - yeah, lets bring attention to the fact that some are infirm or in a wheelchair. Lets remind those that struggle each day with illness or have had a tragic accident that perhaps has resulted in depression, that they are no longer as mobile as the rest of us!

  sorry about the rant. One young sister in a wheelchair dreaded arsemblies because of that.

  One thing that made me laugh at arsemblies was the "security men"! young lads with stupid earpieces in, walking around really slowely thinking they were secret agents or fbi. Jerks..

  EVENTUAL truth and the claim of being "corrected" by Jehovah

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  we've all heard the old saying:.

  any job worth doing is worth doing right the first time.. but, this would not seem to apply in the only organization on earth claiming to be solely guided by jehovah!.

  in the watchtower society, the governing body gathers in a board room and prays, discusses and votes.

  My Dad tried to explain new light to me. Last week he said " The org is going through a constant refinement process, this ensures the language we use is pure". So i tell him "what about the transplanting of organs being prohibited. Then allowed. Then not allowed. etc. etc. Is that a refinement or is it bollocks?" I then asked him "please explain the current blood teaching". Then he commented on the weather.....

  Me and my 2 brothers used to love the 4 odd weeks of pre convention. We stayed in a battered old caravan on site, away from school. It was fantastic having a whole stadium to play in! We would do some work as well, even recycling all the nails by straightening them out! We were told we were saving the brothers contribution money....yeah right! Then all the j-dubs came for the assembly and ruined it!

  It would be great meeting ex-dubs again who might have worked there.

  Sure it wasnt pins n needles?! I needed a day off after assemblies, attending was a sure fire way to collapsed arches. Towards the end i used the afternoons for naps in the car, especially the pubic talk....

  Straightshooter- I think for the most part elders are there for the right reasons. These are the ones that step down eventually. But for the rest of them, the power is too much for them to handle. We`ve seen so many servants who turn into monsers when they become elders.

  Happy@last- Hows the skiing up there at the mo? We are planning to dash up one weekend. Maybe a good party at your k hall one saturday night?

  RosePetal- The blood issue is something that happens to other jw`s, not you. When it does happen, its a test of how deeply indoctrinated you are, not how faithful you are to God.

  trujw- good question about 1914. They have no answer to that. And yes, we feel awesome! Thanks for making us feel very welcome everyone!

  Hi Ruderedhead, if a co wasnt listening i dont expect the higher ups to want to know. I think the main reason for us was the blood issue. That was enough to wonder why God would require a sacrifice to prove our love for him. Werent human sacrifices bad in Jehovahs eyes? Sacrificing our loved ones is, in essence what the Witchtower want from us. We didnt want to see our daughter on the front page of a magazine. We wanted her living, breathing, going to uni to train as a nurse. Which thankfully, is what shes doing The family from hell was just the final push...
