Circuit Assembly Summary

by piztjw in

i thought to give a more comprehensive summary, however this pretty well sums up the entire wasted day.. stand and sing.. prayer thanking the gb.. only jw's will survive "the end".. do more.

preach more.

indoctrinate your children more.

piztjw

I wonder if you could count the number of times they mention the name Jesus on one hand?

Actually, I did try to keep track.

While I don't have an exact count, I do know for a fact that the name Jesus was mentioned fewer times than I could count on one hand. The name Jehovah, somewhat more than that, but likley less than countable on two hands. JW.Org...I lost count somewhere between first stand and sing and last stand and sing of the morning. The only phrase used more than JW.Org was "governing body".

Stand and sing.

Prayer thanking the GB.

Only JW's will survive "the end".

Do more. Preach more. Indoctrinate your children more. Give more to other "brothers" and "sisters". Get those who have awakened to go back to sleep.

Sing another song.

Announcement: It cost a great amount to put this show on. Give, give, give, until it hurts. Show self-sacrifice.

Don't do anything that gives you a sense of self worth, or satisfaction. Preach more. You really should be pioneering. The end is "just around the corner".

Dunking talk.

Stand and sing again. (Golf clap as five young teen-age born-ins file out.)

Mad rush to get prime spot at the very few available tables and chairs for noon dinner.

Sing a song, and pray thanking God for everything and the GB.

How can you tell right from wrong? The GB will tell you. No need to try to discern on your own.

WT Summary. Think and act in lock-step with what the GB suggest order. Blind obedience is good. Thinking ability is bad.

Sing another song. Announcement: We haven't collected much but still sent a few thousand to "mother" and now we have a (perpetual) deficit. We are confident you will be self-sacrificing and give more.

Don't worry about jobs, housing, health etc. Do more and God will take care of you.

Don't buy things.

Don't try to remain youthful. Especially middle-aged "sisters". Don't dress young, Don't groom young. After all what is middle age in the course of forever? (I guess that is why the greater majority of over thirty year old female JW's look like unkempt, overweight, unhealthy, homeless bag-ladies)

Don't get involved in any way with anyone who is not a JW, whether dating, work, or even family members. (Not isolationist much is that?)

God only loves JW's. GT is "very close" and when it starts it will be too late for any who are not JW's to live.

JW's have standards now as set out by the GB to praise God. It won't be any different in the "new world". There will always be standards of conduct, dress and grooming, and where and how to live passed on to the survivors forever through appointed men.

Sing another song. Prayer thanking god for food at the right time through the GB. Another polite golf clap.

Mad rush for the parking lot to get on the road home.

Of course all this was liberally sprinkled with frequent mentions of jw.org!

What makes a "good Jehovah's Witness"??

by stuckinarut2 in

so, i have been thinking...what is the formula or recipe for the "perfect jw"?.

here are a few points i thought of...please feel free to add!.

always dress in the jw manner...no variation in clothing / hair styles / facial hair.

piztjw

Always dress in the JW manner...no variation in clothing / hair styles / facial hair

Just yesterday the eldurr doing the WT made this exact comment, "We don't set rules for dress and grooming. However, to see what is considered proper dress and grooming for Christians all you have to do is look at the picture on page 22 of todays WT. THAT is how we should look!"

Yep, I'm sure as Hades going to dress like that when I'm out doing ranch chores! The worship of the governing popes continues. What an idiot!!

Reinstatement via Old Cong.

by startingover13 in

jw
friends

i've applied to be reinstatement in a new city after attending meetings for a bit.

i wrote my letter and they heard my case.

they were very helpful.

piztjw

They told me to continue to do what I'm doing and that they would get in contact with me for further instructions/direction. What does this mean? Is it a rejection?

Basically, yes, it is a rejection. This is the standard line of B.S. that any eldurr will give to anyone they want to keep on the hook. "keep doing what you're doing, we'll let you know," is their petty way of saying you aren't doing good enough, doing enough, or kissiing a-- enough to please them, and they want to pull your strings and make you dance like a puppet for them!

I get so tired of people always bringing up "Black on Black" crime.

by booker-t in

jw
friends

i am responding to a post by someone the other day about a black girl beaten by a mob of other black teens for "acting too white.

" the poster was trying to drive home the idea black people commit more crimes against themselves then white people do to them.

while it is true some black people do insult other black people who they believe are trying to fit in with caucasian people, white people, hispanics, asians, and other races do the same exact thing to people in their ethnic group as well.

piztjw

What happened in Ferguson is newsworthy because it involves the death of a black man at the hands of a white cop

I'm still waiting to hear much of anything on the national news, or hear reports of looting, burning, and other idiotic acts of random supidity being engaged in by "protesters" in Salt Lake City where a black cop murdered an unarmed white man.

Crickets chirping....

Elders pretty much do whatever they want!

by toto555 in

i've seen elders over the years openly flaunt "the rules", butt-kiss (the co especially), show favoritism and appoint brothers they like and not appoint brothers that should of been appointed for some trivial reason.

many lord their "power" over the friends in blatant violation of scriptures and watchowers that specifically say that they shouldn't lord themselves over the flock.

they pretty much do what they want!

piztjw

Also agree!

In my location the ONLY ones who have been appointed/promoted in the last nearly twenty years are without exception either related to existing elders, or they were studied with brainwashed by an elder.

Some of the current MS don't ever show up for field serve us, are consistenly late to meetings, drug or alcohol abusers, tax cheats, liars, ad nauseum. They, the elders, are all pretty much lazy leaches on the a55 of humanity. IMO.

Any recent wack-a-doodle elder comments in your congo lately?

by sir82 in

jw
friends

our go-to wack-a-doodle elder moved to a new congregation a few years back.

the position has been vacant since then.. we had an elder move in a few months back.

he appears to be angling for the position of resident wack-a-doodle.. at last night's service meeting, he said (paraphrased): "as a congregation, we've been busier than ever before with our special campaign.

piztjw

Yep!

"Thank you Father for the wunnerful [sp] provision of the internet "the slave" has made. Father it is wunnerful that we can show people "the truth" on the internet and jw.org. It is amazing how many people who would never know the wunnerful things you provide Father can now know them."

Gawd, I have to stop or I will throw up in the back of my throat.

Blondie's Comments You Will Not Hear at the 08-31-2014 WT Study (FULL POTENTIAL)

wt publications http://www.a2z.org/wtarchive/archive.htm (old).

united nations http://www.randytv.com/secret/unitednations.htm.

newly baptized brothers (not sisters) because the wts needs men to reach out.

piztjw

Par. 10 said, "On the other hand, failure to give ﬁtting recognition to such brothers may stiﬂe their desire to reach out for more responsibilities, something that God’s Word encourages them to do. —1 Tim. 3:1."

So why is it that fitting recognition is NEVER given? If the intentional failure to give recognition stifles something that God's word encourages, then haven't they/elders made invalid the word of God by their refusal to recognize brothers/sisters good qualities?

It would be like throwing a bucket of water on a fire, and then blaming the fire for going out. Hypocrites!

piztjw

AUGUST 2014 OVER!! NOW WHAT??

Well, my goodness, I happen to have it what's next from and un-impeachable source.....

September is going to be even more special. The reason being that this very September will positively be the VERY LAST September in 2014 before "the end" comes....someday.

2014 Distict Convention. Symposium: Anticipate Future Kingdom Blessings! (part 6 "New Scrolls")

by Splash in

transcript of the talk from the 2014 uk district convention (aug 2014).. sunday morning.. symposium: anticipate future kingdom blessings!

(part 6 "new scrolls").

(speaker not known).

piztjw

I read that verse as the scrolls beiing scrolls of judgement. The single scroll is one of life.

There may be further instructions, if you believe this, but nowhere is this scripture referring to these scrolls as instructions. That explanation was EVIDENTLYpulled out of someones ass donkey.
