  Why a Faithful and discreet slave???

  by Crazyguy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the bible speaks of it making a man fully equipt 2tim, and that the anointing teaches one 1john, holy spirit is also available luke, john and even god will grant wisdom if one asks james.

  so why the need for a faithful and discreet slave, in the bible???

  ?.

  Why? Because they need a verse to justify what they do and what they are.

  What is with the WT obsession with King David??

  by BU2B in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  it seems like at least once a month he is brought up as a good example in the study wt.

  it seems like he is given more praise than jesus.

  have you noticed this?

  It is because they are so fond of using the Bible as an example and there is not much in there to use, so use it over and over and over.

  it was a perfect spring day, and a jazz band were playing in the mall near my work.

  in front of the band, two watchtower literature carts stood in solidarity.

  i could not work out who were the jws attending them.

  Yep, it's all about getting the literature to the people at lowest costs.

  Not about actual witnessing or teaching.

  Why Is Alcoholism Deeply Embeded In JW Culture?

  by RottenRiley in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  we get plenty of company men passing through our circuit, often filled with misinformation and lugging around a suitcase of guilt, they bring more guilt to the weak while praising the braggart pioneers and slapping the "righteous over much" elders.

  why are the wrong people getting praise in this distorted community?

  i know for a fact many of the elders i served with have issues with alcoholism, when "brother guilt" brought his emotional hurricane through our circuit, i had the chance to eat and help pay for his "seven shots of tequila", both him and his wife were not immune to over-indulgences.

  I don't and never have drank alcohol so it is not embedded.

  "Prince is not a JW "really" is he?"

  I saw him at a meeting 10 years ago. What more does there need to be to qualify?

  What do Baptists believe?

  i'm thinking about going to church again because i'm really interested in god (today)!!.

  sometimes i'm so confused and feel like there is no god, other days i do and want to try and get to know him.. i guess i'm scared because of all the bs that went on in the kh.. there is a local baptist church near me that seems nice.

  i'm in the uk.

  It irritates me that people contribute to the WTBTS when they could do better with it by helping those in need like their local animal shelters.

  I wasn't shocked by it but I am shocked by people over reacting to it.

  Most Ridiculous Thing You've Ever Been Counseled On

  by MrFreeze in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i'm sure topics like this have already come up but they tend to get hilarious with the absolute absurdity that goes on in the kh.

  i was once counseled for not shaving after two days.

  i was also counseled by a sister for eating lucky charms cereal.

  I was carrying the microphones and my collar was too tight to button. I was counseled about not having my shirt collar buttoned.

  I was doing the count and I was counseled for walking up too far to see people as it distracts them.

  There was a sister that I liked and I worked with at a Quickbuild. I had sent her a letter or a card. She sent back saying 'thanks but no thanks, let's stay frends'. Which was fine, her prerogative. But then my congregation's elder talked to me about being careful with the sisters. Well, she could do alot worse then me, a pioneer and a servant. Infact, she married someone from the world and then got divorced.

  That could be made with many texts such as:

  Wear a head covering.

  Don't play lottery.

  Don't use recreational or medicial pot.
