  Would you be able to survive a three day Assembly?

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  2. beliefs

  the last assembly i attended was over 10 years ago.

  the monotone speakers, boring talks, uncomfortable seats, long prayers and nodding off after the lunch break did me in.

  i survived the morning sessions, but the afternoon sessions were brutal.

  Rules and Regulations, I was at those Cicero race track conventions, too. I got my first kiss there. (Very chaste).

  I was reading on Reddit that a young girl was questioned repeatedly by an elder if she knew that having sex with dogs was wrong, and asked her if she had any ‘difficulties’ in this direction. She told him no, but he rather persistently asked her about this topic. Like, if she was SURE that she had never had sex with a dog, or any interest in such things. Disgusting!

  Did your witness family have a 'Thanksgiving' that wasn't on Thanksgiving?

  my family had several elders, ministerial servants, auxillary pioneers etc, so it certainly wasn't one of those 'barely in' families.

  but in certain small ways, i think mine were slightly less hard line than some other families i've heard stories about over the years.

  one example was the 'fall dinner'.

  We had the complete turkey dinner, every Thanksgiving Day. But, it was just our family of 3, no guests, very quiet. But, they always had to remind us, that turkey is on sale.

  George, I didn’t know about Van Morrison! Yes, I remember the long, boring assemblies and conventions. I’m old enough to remember 7 day ones. As soon as I was old enough, I volunteered so I didn’t have to sit and listen to that 💩.

  Yes, also the wives didn’t like the elders, their husbands, looking at the attractive women.

  The org's "new lights" - corrupting Proverbs 4:18

  by BoogerMan in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  proverbs 4:18 says, "but the path of the righteous....grows brighter and brighter until full daylight.".

  the bible "light" doesn't get brighter - it never changes - it's a person's direction & course of life which gets brighter.. w11 9/15 p. 14 par.

  15 - "when spiritual light on some matter gets brighter, do you try to understand the underlying scriptural reasons for the adjustment?

  That scripture is not about doctrine, WT misuses this scripture.

  Agree, Sea Breeze, the WT practices grooming behavior, and it is very inappropriate to discuss these types of behaviors in the presence of children. They think about this stuff. I myself learned what an orgy was, at 10 years old, in the KH.

  How many JW in the 1920's

  by xaminewt in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i'm trying to find out how many jw there were globally in 1924, 1925, 1926, 1927 and 1928. the watchtower of 1926 says that there were 25,000 in attendance at the magdeburg convention for the public address, but the same watchtower say that one the last day of the convention there were 15,000 present, so i assume at least 10,000 were interested persons - non jw.

  the watchtower 1955 says: "for this year of 1927 the number in attendance at the spring memorial internationally was 88,544, yet of these only some 18,602 were active as house-to-house kingdom announcers".

  these statistics would seem to imply that the majority of jw in 1926 were at the magdeburg convention.

  Disfellowshipping and Excutions

  *w60 2/1 80 - 17 there may be rare instances where a child is so hardened in its stubbornness that even the rod of correction cannot drive it out.

  in the days of israel parents were instructed by jehovah to take such a rebel to the city fathers and they, in turn, took the incorrigible one out and stoned him to death.

  there were no juvenile delinquents under such a system.

  We had a 16 year old young lady become pregnant in our congregation. She was not baptized, I think she had no intention of being a JW. She became pregnant by a neighbor, not a witness. Her dad was worldly, only her mom was a JW. This girl was treated TERRIBLY by the congregation, shunned, and not given a shower. I brought over a small gift after the baby was born. The girl left home soon after, leaving the baby with her mom. I left shortly afterwards, I don’t know the outcome. This baby is a grown woman now.
