Passing a resolution a painful experience

by stillin in

everybody knows it's going to pass.

nobody ever asks if possibly that much money for the circuit overseer's whatever isn't a bit too much, or whatever else the congregation is being asked to agree to.

then the call to raise your hand if in favor of doing the "right thing.

piztjw

Everybody knows it's going to pass.

So true. All in favor? All hands flapping wildly in the air. Even the two and three year olds. Any opposed? No hands.

All the abstainers are not counted. Well I guess it is unanimous then.

What the hell?

"It's Demonic" - What's the stupidest thing you've ever heard a JW say?

by schnare in

i was at a amusement park here in calgary today.

my jw mother and my young brother came to visit for a week,so me and my sister thought it would a nice idea to take them to do something fun.

i guess they had a part of it called hallo street and my mom was getting all sketched out from all the halloween decorations around.

Some people are abler to do so, others cannot. It has nothing to do with supernatural abilities, it's all natural magnetism. That is why some people cannot wear the older style wrist watch while others have no problem with them. Magnetism of water movemnet, however slight, can make certain objects move on their own.

Do you believe God is using the governing body to lead his organization?

by Zoos in

were familiar with the statements about how a persons claim to be anointed is between that god and the individual.. the governing body went on to say: "a number of factorsincluding past religious beliefs or even mental or emotional imbalancemight cause some to assume mistakenly that they have the heavenly calling.

we thus have no way of knowing the exact number of anointed ones on earth; nor do we need to know.

the governing body does not keep a list of all partakers, for it does not maintain a global network of anointed ones.

piztjw

Reasonably, any replacement would come, not from among newly baptized ones, but from among those who have stuck with Jesus in his trials through many years of faithful service. The brilliant flashes of spiritual light that came through The Watchtower in the 1920’s and 1930’s indicate that the gathering of the remnant of anointed ones was practically completed during that period.

This quote taken from the March 1, 1992, issue of The Watchtower, page 20, paragraph 17.

I wonder how many years many years would be when Sanderson is quite young and relatively newly baptized?

Idiotic Elderoid's Comment

by piztjw in

so i recently heard the following comment from one of the shearers of sheep:.

"one may think they have an effective method of talking to people about the bible, but the fds have given us the proper presentation in the kingdom ministry.

they tell us what to say because that is what works best.

piztjw

So here is another one just recently heard:

Elderly handicapped male, "I needed help getting to the assmebly. I was unable to drive, so younger sister so-and-so drove my car to the assembly as she had no vehicle."

Elderoid, "That was improper. You should not have been alone with her for the ninety minutes it took to get to the assembly. You should have tried harder to make different arrangements."

Elderly handicapped male, "I did. Everyone else had either left already, or they had other arrangments and could not help me with my vehicle."

Elderoid, " But think about the appearence to others when you were alone with her."

Me, "Yes. You really are much better off missing the assembly entirely than traveling with a sister!" (Said with total sarcasm)

Elderoid, "That's right! Jehovah would have understood." (In all seriousness)

Me, "You never can tell when someones hormones are going to run wild and sex is going to happen." (Eyes rolling)

Comments you hear at the July 15th WT Study

by LostGeneration in

if you still go to the meetings, i'd love to hear how tomorrow's wts goes down.. i'm sure there will be plenty of comments read straight from the paragraph, a few pauses where nobody wants to comment for fear of not getting it right, and a few completely wrong comments from publishers talking out of their a$$e$ trying to look smart.

.

piztjw

This ought to be fun! I figure maybe three or four commentors really giving it their all. Gotta brown-nose the sheep shearers y'know! A few as stated beforre read word-for-word out of the paragraph, and most will just sit there in a daze wondering WTH it is all about.

Is it a tradition in your congregation for the visiting speaker to give the final prayer on Sunday?

by hoser in

jw
friends

every congregation i have attended this is the case.

i was wondering if this is just a local thing or if it is an unwritten rule worldwide?.

hoser.

piztjw

Yep, suggestions are rules, unless you are an elder, an elders kid, or soome other brown-nosing ass kisser; then rules are merely suggestions. The same thing with sins. Imperfections are DF'ing sins if you are R&F, but DF'ing offenses are merely imperfections to be overlooked if you are one of the elite!

This from the jerk-off who on more than one occassion would refuse to do things in the KH as instructed because, "We think it would be more convenient to do it differently!"

What are your experiences with assine comments from the fleecers of the flock?

"False Prophets" part notably uncomfortable

by Separation of Powers in

so, service meeting last night.

bro handling the "false prophet" part was notably disturbed.

every time he spoke of previous "expectations" his body language was like "oh my god, can you believe i'm saying this?

piztjw

I've noticed that different fleecers of the flock (elders) that gave this speech made different and contradictory claims about the professed inspiration, or not of the org.

Much of what they said also goes contrary to what has been printed in the WT handbook mag. So each person IMO should follow the God, the Bible, and Jesus. Using those three one shouldn't go to far astray.
