Turning 60 today (Happy Birthday to me)

by NewYork44M in

jw
friends

it is my birthday today.

given that i turn 60 today means that i graduated high school in 1975. time flies when you are having fun.. i remember the council i got about not worrying about a career because this wicked system was rapidly coming to a conclusion.

now i am 60 and most of those bastards are dead and the end is still in the future..

Messages From My Uber JW Sister - It's Like Talking To A Brick Wall

by pale.emperor in

what follows below is a facebook messenger conversation with my sister last night.

i was surprised she messaged me.

i think it's because the cart witnesses i spoke to in my previous post in her kh must have mentioned that they met me.. i screen shot the messages but they've come out all wonky so please bare with me.. notice how she defends the cult even over the blatant wrong doings i refer to.. .

Thanks for sharing that, I'm sure it's not exactly a pleasant exchange at all, leave alone that it's your own sister.

Something caught my attention, and as I have mentioned before, reasoning with them about facts and teaching may bear little productivity. However, I do notice in her conversation that she ties up her believes with your father. Seems like he's not alive. To me it looks like she's been more loyal to your father's legacy than to the WT teachings.

Maybe if you address what she's implying about what she feels instead of what she says about the WT teachings may take you in a different direction.

Either way, as frustrating as it may look, it's also possible that this exchange may stick and may become relevant for her in the future. You just don't know.

Crow Woe

“oh mommy!” the little girl in the floral dress cooed to her mother.. i felt the same.. that splash of vivid brightness on such a perfect creature takes your breath away!the delicate robin whose crimson colored breast chased ugliness from sight delighted little children on starbucks patio.. better still, her nest in a nearby tree stirs a keen anticipation for summer’s hatchling sounds of chirpy appetites and a renewal of hope for our futures, the little things and we ourselves.. i barely spy her nest, exquisitely fashioned, basket-like; roundish and stout.

she flits charmingly now...and again keeping custodial observance of her eggs.

such treasures!

Jonah Letter

by Coded Logic in

dear brothers and sisters,.

it has come to our attention that many in our ministry are encountering individuals who question the accuracy of the bible on scientific grounds.

for example, they may ask questions such as, how does a snake talk when it has no vocal chords or mouth and lip muscles?

That was a good fun post. Thanks for the laughs.

Why did Jesus need to experience a human childhood?

by HB in

i've never been a jw and haven't ever studied the bible or theology so it may be that there is a simple answer to my question that i'm not aware of, in which case, please forgive my ignorance.

however i have wondered about this for quite some time and have scoured the internet but i can't find any mention of the topic.

maybe someone here might enlighten me.

scratchme1010

You know, it will be a great game to see who comes up with the most ridiculous explanation given by religion for that. I'm glad that I don't even remember what nonsense the Wt came up with to explain Jesus of Nazareth being the son of Jehovah and his purpose to being here as a human being.

Will Watchtower “simplify” the baptism arrangement at circuit assemblies?

by Londo111 in

watchtower ever “simplifies” its “arrangements”.

no more food.

one-day circuit assemblies…no more “special assembly day”--it was a sad occasion anyways.

Those things are not changed for no reason. They will "simplify" the baptism of people only if/when there's something better for them that advances their interest, i.e., make more money, save money, control people better. Those are the only reasons for them to make changes, unless they are legally bound to make them.

"jesus never said the spiritual food would be perfect"

by nowwhat? in

oh so it's jesus fault the spiritual food hasn't been perfect!

we your governing body are just responsible for serving it!

think about this people, they are saying it was jesus who told us the end was going to come in 1975. then before the 1914 generation passed away no later than the 1990's.

They are trying to wash their hands from all their filthy actions. Dirty disgusting cowards, don't even have spine to take full responsibility.
