hi folks.
i have notice that many here are always complaining about those wonderful assemblies that we used to attend?
why is everyone so ungrateful?.
Gianluca,
You are right, I do miss the conventions. Some days I need to remember the feelings that I experienced at them. When this happens I go to my garage and hit my thumb with a hammer. I then just sit down, close my eyes and remember how it all was, as I throb.
hello everyone, i am new in the forum.
let me introduce myself: i_am_an_idiot.
why use that handle?
Hey Idiot,
Stop tryng to work out your eternal plan and concentrate on getting through one day, without making an idiot of yourself. If you enjoy being an idiot, Fred will continue to tutor you.
victoria's secret posted yesterday that the convention in houston got flooded out.
i have friends and relatives there that i have been unable to contact.
can someone tell me the situation there?
Larsguy,
Thanks for the post to me. I don't myself believe that a single word in the Bible was written with the JWS in mind. The references to Israel were just that. The references to the christians then were to the Christians then.
The Watchtower Company is simply a printing company that started out with sincere aims and developed into a cult.They would like to think the whole Bible was written to them but they have rather lost their paddle.

Youknow,
Yipes - Armageddon is here already and you said there would be an apostasy among the JWs first. Better begin fleeing to the roof tops. Why are the JWs involved? Who is controling the weather up there? Have they tried prayer? Perhaps they missed too much Sunday morning ministry.
This is indeed a warning to us all. Hail Mary X 3
ok. we ran a thread recently about starting a new religion.. how about we start an international congregation here on the board.. we need 7 elders.
7 being a sign of perfection..er....yeah.. we need ministerial servants.. appointments will be general concensus..er holy spirit i mean.. p.o.
lets start with him.
As a gladiator I never wear a tie and so I wouldn't be allowed on the platform.
You will need a door man to throw out apostates and I am trained for this gruesome task.
'Here I am send me, send me.'
after reading zazu pitts post and that old bossart hotel which was bought by the jw.
still had the gargolys on its roof top amazed me, since i thougt that gargoyls were domonic stautes.
can anyone help me withsome input onthis one?
What is a Gargoyl?
A gargoyl is a wrinkled old elder. There is always one in every congregation. They are kept on to ward off good spirits which may want to enter the congregation and produce the 'fruits of the spirit' among the members.
robocop i'd hate to see this classic representative gem of your comprehensive stupidity hidden away in some dim dark little recess of this site for you to sneak away from and others not to enjoy:.

AcapulcoGold,
Before you spend any more time on this subject - 'PROVE I'M COWBOY' -
Take that stetson off water your horse.
most of the stuff posted here is negative, hateful, and blasphemous against god.
even if many of you are right in saying that the jws are wrong on many and important issues, that does not make you right.
so unless you are convinced that there is no biblical god you are facing serious trouble when you die or if the lord comes during your lifetime.
Mishnah,
You use the word 'risk' a great deal and talk of avoiding it. Has it ever occured to you that life is a risk.
Some of us would rather live our short lives in freedom and take the risk of being wrong, rather than hide in the shadows of the Watchtower Company in fear of our lives. That of course takes courage. Yes, courage - have you ever come accross that word before?
well guys, i've done it now!
our whole little town has a sale every june and this one was no exception.
while hubby was watching our sale, my oldest daughter and i walked around the neighborhood to see what we could filch out of our neighbors renderings.
Lindy, My dad culdn't understand the bad feeling in our house and decided the furniture must be demonised. It started with the table and went on until we had little left. We could not afford to replace it so we sat on the foor. The only thing he didn't throw out was my mother. Pity she was the problem.
just a thought.... in most of the publications that have pictures of people in the new order / new system / paradise earth - why do they have clothes on?
not only that, but they usually wear their national costumes !.
i guess the practical reason is that if everyone was naked then the watchtower would be classed as soft-porn and could only be sold from top shelves.... anyone have any thoughts on this?
Simon,
Those are pictures of life during the 1000 years before the JWs have reached perfection. Until then they have to cover their imperfect bodies and wait until they have perfected bodies like gladiators.
