When you were really "in", did you have a pet idea that would steer wt into divine favor?

by prologos in

wt writers ( klein) admitted at one time, that his majesty's doctrinal ship was zigzagging to find the right course, and many of us believed, that if we accepted the bible as true, cleaning up the teachings would establish the right bearing.

so: did you have a hobby-horse idea you were riding?

AA: "-- he said they wouldn't get married but 'be like angels'. I always covered the two possible outcomes by referring to male nipples, possibly under the angels garments or the 6 wings, those breast ornaments never seem to raise our desire to nurse children in men right?, and ladies desires are hormone driven, so, as "children of the resurrection", without those chemicals urging you on, why would you have the maddening intense desire to procreate?

"--will we see children that never made it because of a miscarriage? Sorry for you about that experience, good though, because miscarriages might be nature's way of stopping an unviable fetus to go on. I had the unfortunate experience to actually see the expelled embryo, because it was happening in an emergency hospital. No point of a resurrection there, except a re-implant into the healed womb, so, You must be talking of a very late term interruption, perhaps when a name was already picked, which we experienced too.

Just discussing the text, without endorsing the extended talking snake tale.

That is a very interesting analogy. I have to sleep on that. Wt would not be interested. how would money flow out of that pot at the end of your refracted rainbow? Their internal glow can not grow.

Writing to Brooklyn perhaps? button holing whoever would listen? here was mine:

We were all Spiritual Israelites, not just the partakers. key text: Rev.7. the sealed come out of the 12 tribes, so the members of these tribes must be greater and more numerous than the 144 000 spread over ~ 2000 years.

As Shakespeare, presently in vogue, might say : "much ado about nothing", yet it is interesting to dwell into these follies.

Hard to Remember but Back in the Ninteen Fifies...

jw

my writing a book about my strange life as a jw.

i need some help.. does anyone remember when they used to get these charts out at the service meetings which had all the hours, "back calls" and bible studies on it?

what did they call that?.

Among the pioneers living in the KH apartments was one that felt like expressing himself during the lunch break in free - style composing performances on the piano. He pounded out notes, cords that surpassed Wagner, Hindemith in dissonance and power. Why did the "god of order" not intervene? and how about the food prepared in Yankee stadium annexes, The truck-repair shop to keep the delivery vehicles running? the marriages performed on the meager lawns outside the stadium?

I remember a circuit assembly where they had the local comparison chart rigged to show the results of all the congregations, to shame the laggards, I guess. I remember well 1958 the out of the blue announcement & demonstration at Yankee stadium / Polo grounds of sisters doing mike-amplified conversations from the platform, and the questionable dearth of bible text to justify the change , while we gave 4-8 bible text sermons at the doors. and Then there was the appointed company/ congregation servant, the man that would not budge, move, become sick or die to give new blood a chance at the helm. There must have been swinger congregations like Lois Lane lfS describes, but I remember only the close to the line petting and necking in the cars. One Bethel brother who "blew it", had his doors rigged, so the sisters could not open them from the inside.

Generation expiry date?

by pleaseresearch in

how long will it take for a jw to see that even the overlapping generation is wrong?.

the org waited and waited to see if their interpretation of it came true.

those alive in 1914 would still be alive obviously it didn't and jws have to believe in an overlapping generation.

OEJ: "-- newly anointed at that time could live to be 100 putting you in 2072) and that would not include Arm-a-geddon itself, (because the anointed are raptured before then, they are needed to do the fighting, frightening from heaven), so let us make it 2075 for old time's sake.

Proof God Does NOT Exist

by Hadriel in

o.k.

here's just a little fun, you guys can run with it.. if god existed would he allow the whacktower to be in business?

just sayin... lol.

prologos

Dunedain: "--"does God ONLY exist because WE created God thru our own ability to contemplate a God".

Do you not in that statement put too much importance in our egos? after all, the ALL, the universe functions just fine without our input, and do you think the universe of all things, created itself, with it's laws, energy?

Particular gods might be human ideas, but the works in the universe are not.

F&c: "--we must think about our own deaths and thus we created the concept of God and god forbid "purpose". The facts are no one knows. I am probably closer to death than most here, yet my points are strictly on the existence beyond the now expanding through time universe. The laws made our existence possible, and that is enough for me and my offspring. My insistence of feeding us caused some suffering to animals, Luck in publicity made a better invention falter, The works of creation are great enough, we need no special personal favours , which often would be granted at the expense of others, so, let's appreciate the works.
