  Comments you hear at the July 15th WT Study

  by LostGeneration in

  2. bible

  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.

  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?

  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?.

  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!

  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.

  "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. Out ideas would be there if they were effective."

  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?

  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.

  Jehovah's Witnesses are NOT false prophets

  by SloppyJoe in

  2. friends

  tonight on the service meeting we discussed why jws are not false prophets.

  of the ten minute part two were spent discussing that jws just had wrong expectations and only very minor changes over the years although nothing specific was mentioned.

  the other eight focused on the core bible truths that have remained the same over the years.

  The fleecer of the flock that spouted this locally made it a point to emphasize the term "prophet". JW's have not actually referred to themselves by that specific word, so he could pat himself on the back claiming that JW's never called themselves "prophets" so they could not be false prophets then.

  Although he made many referrences to the "fact" they are inspired(?)!

  And of course "the light gets brighter". Well I have never yet seen the rising sun as it gets brighter in the morning suddenly change a house into a bird. Or a pickup into a fish. Or a cow into a stock pond. But according to him and the rest of the parrots sitting in chairs answeringg so intelligently that is exactly what happens. The light gets brighter and what was the truth then is a lie now, and what was a lie then is now suddenly the truth!

  Oh well, I guess the sun will continue to rise at night, in the west. New light, y'know!

  Elders of the church came forward with information that led to Lozano's arrest, he said.

  Sounds like the elders were covering this up...doesn't it?

  for a year now, i have been handling the accounts.

  we have 6 elders and 7 ms, and none of them ( i am not serving), want to do the accounts, so they asked me to do it.

  here is what i have noticed.. 4 elderly sisters cover the whole congregation in donations monthly!

  Maybe some of them got their eyes opened by unnecessary kingdom hall renovation/redecoration that they were expected to pay for, just because the colors in the hall did not go with some elder's complexion.

  Yeah...the one where I used to go did a $65,000.00 remodel. Perfectly good items like miocrophones, mixing console etc went to the garbage dump!

  But hey they had a KH that they could brag about.

  Some years ago when I was "priveleged" to handle accounts I noticed it was mostly the poor and lame that contributed. The exception was a smarmy "brother" who screwed around on both of his two wives, was a chronic public drunk, lost three businesses due to tax fraud, and had a mouth that would make even the most hardened Marine or sailor blush, and routinely flipped the bird in public at the American flag who made very sizable contributions courtesy of embezzeled business money. I personally won't give one nickel to an organization that operates like that. Thank Gawd I am no longer active.

  Experience regarding Elders being spirit appointed

  by Comatose in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was told recently about a situation where an elder did not get recommended to serve upon moving to a new hall.

  i think he left for a job.

  but, something internal politics happened in the old hall and he was not recommended.

  I have noticed that "spirit" does in reality plyb a HUGE role in men getting the coveted titles of MS or Elder. But the spirit that plays that role in all cases I know of is the spirit one finds in a bottle of good Scotch, or in high priced Tequila. If one puts on a great appearence to mens eyes, says all the right things, and "kisses" the right asses you will be appointed no matter how sinful you are. But the more spiritual one is the less chance of getting those all important positions and titles. It's strange how the less intelligent a person is the more intimidated they are by anyone who is more intelligent than they are.
