Seven Seconds

by RolRod in

so i just finished watching the netflix series "seven seconds", about a police cover up of a black teenager killed by a police officer in a hit and run.

it was filmed in jersey city, nj at the end of the last episode as the camera panned the area, they showed the jersey city assembly hall.

i actually helped restore that building and helped in building the addition..

Are you better off as a worldly person or a JW?

by Jules Saturn in

i was having a conversation with a relative who has been inactive for several decades (part of the ‘75 generation) and he argued that a person that is a born in is better off staying in the organization rather than someone like him who lived as a “worldly” person but then became a witness later in life.

he argues that when you’re born in, all you know nothing outside of the organization, so you’re better off in than out, that’s why when born ins leave the org, they always come back.

i agree that as a born in, your social circle is composed of witnesses but i do feel that even born ins would be happier outside of the org than being in.

How could you be better off being/remaining a JW ?

It`s a cult religion for Christ`s sake .Full of false promises,failed predictions,deaths of many members following human instructions.of the GB members on a number of issues ,Blood,Malawi.Conscientious Objection in the Military,Medical procedures ,{ Organ Transplants ,Inoculation`s }

And in many cases having dual policy`s on these issues depending in which country you lived in Malawi/Mexico for an example.

Condemning the United Nations on one hand and Joining them as an NGO for 10 years on the other hand.

Charles Taze Russell the founder of the IBSA/JW on the one hand saying they would never beg for money and the Governing Body of the religion today continually begging for money.

Of course I`m better off DA myself from this sham of a religion.

How to "turn the tables" on still-in witness who pry about our status.

by stuckinarut2 in

jw
friends

so many of us have had (perhaps well-meaning) jws ask us questions about our inactivity, or lack of attendance at meetings.

they may pry about why..... how is this for a simple, yet straight to the point response?

to a sincere person, it may play on their mind and make them ask more questions.

smiddy3

JWs ask us questions about our inactivity, or lack of attendance at meetings.

Maybe just maybe, when The religion apologizes for leading their members up the garden path with "truth`s" that turned out to be falsehoods because "New light " always followed old "truth`s" that never materialized .Think about that.

Life during the 1,000 reign???

by Joliette in

jw
friends

me and my brother recently got into a discussion about the 1,000 reign.

i told him that even after armageddon, you know that you still have to work for your salvation??

he says yes, that he is prepared to work for jehovah (wth), and that it will be a wonderful time.

If you remain ''loyal'', you will live forever. If you are tempted and fail with your loyalty, you will get the '' second death'' (eternal).

So that means Lazarus and others who have been resurrected in the Bible and died again are "Kapoot"
Also with the relatively few (JW`s only) who are going to survive the big "A" will spend the next 1000 years burying 8+ Billion dead men`s bones ,not to mention demolishing concrete and steal skyscrapers ,bitumen roads,and all the technological industry`s that JW`s rely on in today`s world.And if by any chance JW`s don`t think these are going to be done away with ,then how will the paradise earth be any different to what we enjoy now as their has to be someone to run and maintain all these mod cons we enjoy today.And the Scriptures do plainly state that after the thousand years have ended when Satan is let out of prison those that follow him will be as numerous as the sands of the sea-shore ,he will mislead those nations in the four corners of the earth .Rev.20:7-9So things are not going to be Honkey- Dorey during the 1000 year reign as JW`s expect.Hasn`t Jesus already used up 100 years of that reign ? What`s he achieved so far ?He better take his finger out ,only 900 more years to go.

Memorial Attendance ???

by Phizzy in

hi all, anybody any anecdotal or actual idea of how attendance numbers went this year ?.

there are hints that it is well down, but is it ?

and if it is, will the borg stop crowing about the attendance as they always have ?.

smiddy3

Maybe it`s because the Rapture has already started and Jehovah/Jesus has begun taking some of the Anointed to heaven already.

Yea of little faith !

It could be a gradual thing that`s going to go on for years .

Why are Humans so Obsessed with trying to find Meaning in Ancient Writings that they waste their life on and are willing to die for ?

by smiddy3 in

when you stop and think about it , isn`t it just plain crazy ?

ludicrous even ?

to live your life on texts centuries old and are willing to die upholding those beliefs ?.

smiddy3

James Mixon I believe you can get pretty high on mushrooms and so could be convinced the meaning of life is somehow shown to you in hallucinations ,I get that , but turnips ?

LOL that tickled my fancy

April 2018 Broadcast - normal weird stuff

by Listener in

we hear a story regarding the life of thomas and emma.

she states that "when thomas and i first learnt that i was pregnant, we were both really shocked" she doesn't explain why they were both really shocked but it seems an odd reaction unless they were using the safest contraception invented or hadn't been told about the bird and the bees.two experiences that touched the heart of gb sanderson were as follows -.

in russia a jw was jailed for 6 months, the jailers did everything to try to undermine his faith, which included violence.

smiddy3

included a product placement advertisement of Coca Cola. It's odd that they would use a product that is so iconically recognized.

it wouldn`t surprise me one bit if they were now being paid by Coca Cola for slipping that product endorsement in their video.

Maybe we will see more of this subtle form of advertising in their videos from now on.

After all they are guaranteed millions of viewers will watch that video.

The right to record your judicial committee meeting

by UnshackleTheChains in

ok.. we have often heard secret recordings online of jc hearings.

but, what i would like to know is if individuals are entitled to the right of officially recording their judicial hearings?.

supposing i was to attend a judicial committee and i explained up front that i would like to record the proceedings and then place a dictaphone on the table.

smiddy3

My thoughts on this is that they will view you as a trouble-maker, not complying with the will or direction of the Elders and have the JC meeting in you absence and pass whatever judgement against you as they see fit.

And the only way to get around that is to threaten to sue them personally for whatever action they take

That usually scares the bejesus out of them.
