  by sleepy in

  (not, ray franz owes us an apology) .

  (ok lets add this on)do those who are or were governing body members have a greater amount of responsability than witnesses in general?at what point do we stop being victims and become instigaters?

  this may have been discussed before but i'm not sure.so sorry if it has.

  I have apologized to those I have effected while being a witness. I told my family I was sorry for not being with them when they needed me for the last 5 years. I was supposed to be a role model for my brother while he was growing up (dad died a while ago) and I wasn't there, too busy spending time with "Good association". He got into some trouble which I might have been able to stop if I was around for him during those times. I don't need to apologize to the general public, because I never dragged any of them into the Troof. I believe Ray's actions apologized enough for his previous behavior.

  THE ATTITUDE OF A BETHELITE

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  one of the most interesting things that i have noticed about being a witness is the awe that is given to bethelites.

  it seems that if you are a bethelite, you are accorded special privleges in congregations.

  you are honored when you visit a hall.

  I always felt sad for the ones in bethel. I was only in for a few years, so I didn't meet any "Fulltimers". It just seems like a waste of a life to move to a city away from your family and publish magazines for a few bucks a day. I don't really understand where the honor is.

  I have a theory about celebrity deaths...

  They don't really die. There is an Island in the Philippines where all the Celebs go when they have enough dough and are sick of all the prying eyes of the public. They fake their own death and head off to this island. If they end up needing a little more cash, they make a new album (the lost songs of Tupac) and rake in the new dough. Too many celebs die for it to be a coincidence. Either that or the movie "Josie and the Pussy Cats" is right. I find that a highly underated movie. I was funnier than hell. (hell is pretty damn funny you know). Of course I have no "physical evidence" to "validate" my "claim", but it has been said, that a reasonable person would conclude that some scholars think that my claim could be correct.

  I find the post on the suzuki quite funny:

  I have a 2002 Suzuki XL-7 which I like so far. Have had it about 5 months. The only thing I don't like is that it bouces a little when you hit a bump in the road. Other than that it is a good SUV.

  Its good that you like your automobile. I don't want to burst any bubbles or anything but it strikes me funny that an SUV would be a great car until it hits a bump on the road. Kinda makes the SUV part of it worthless, correct? May as well have purchased a station wagon or something. But don't mind me, I'm a little slanted when it comes to the suv issue.

  ".......... but are as angels in heaven"

  by Ice Blue in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  one of the many teachings that troubled my conscience matthew 22:30. does this mean that after armageddon there will essentially be several different classes of people ie survivors (who may marry) and resurrected ones (who may not) and those born after armageddon (presumably who may)?

  does this mean the resurrected ones will be sexless - like 'drones'?

  surely then they will not be the same person that they were?

  to post a real answer that a JW would give, apart from "Wait on Jehovah" would be this:

  Resurrected ones will be perfect when resurrected. They will be unevenly yolked if they have relations/marry an imperfect one. So they in turn could not "be with" a person who walked through armageddon. If a couple were to make it through armageddon, they could help fill the earth by producing children. Those who have died will be resurrected into the "Angelic Class" w/out gender. They will not be able to procreate. Their job will be to subdue the earth "Subdual Class". once the earth is filled and subdued, the "Genital Class" will lose their genitalia (ouch) and the "Subdual Class" will lose their subdual powers and form one big "Servant Class" These people will be forever and ever and ever unless they become unhappy and then they will be killed as not to contaminate the clean, for we all know Jehovah keeps his new system clean. New scrolls will be made open to us and they will inform us what our next duties will be.

  You are forgetting that we are imperfect and we will be different people in the new system. We won't want anything that we want now. We will be happy because Jehovah will say we are happy. If we decide not to be happy, he will kill us. If you desire to have relations with people, like the sons of the true god have before, you will be destroyed. So in a way, JW Cult is preparing us for the new system. Keep smiling and ignore your feelings and you will survive!!!

  Much to my surprise, I enjoyed being in the middle rather than the aisle. I rarly have to get up, but there was always some rather undexterous individuals attempting to climb over me in haste, while attempting to control their bladder when I sat in the aisle. I could rarly get a good day's sleep. When resting in the center of the section of notoriously uncomfortable seats, I could, after many attempts, doze off into a slumber that passed the time rather swiftly. Rarly was I awoken by the applauds of mindless drones. If I was to make an appearance at an assembly or convention, I would sit in the back/top row in the center. I would bring a thurmos full of warm milk, a blanket and perhaps a MP3 player (pretending to listen to the radio broadcast for the hearing impaired) and doze off into the bliss I wish I was enjoying at home.

  The last convention I had the unfortunate "responsibility" of a "restroom maintenance engineer". I recieved an Aisle seat to better fulfill my duties. Every hour It was my duty to make my way to the appropriate unisex bathroom and ensure the level of cleanliness and needed peripherals were in stock. The majority of the day was wasted waiting in line to mop up after persons with incredibly poor aim.

  Rainbow covenant... a fairy tale?

  by LyinEyes in

  yesterday evening , after a little rain storm there was the most beautiful rainbow in the sky.

  it reminded me of the promise that god gave that the earth would never be destroyed again by flood.

  so every times it rains , all over the world , you will usually see a rainbow.

  By this logic, Jehovah also promises not to destroy the world by a huge glass prism.

  WHEW! I was worried that it was going to rain glass prisms and crack my skull...
