  Strangers in my personal space!

  has anyone noticed how elders rarely take the time to get to know you, but then they think you should be comfortable sitting in a room w/three of them, revealing all the "dirty" things you did, which makes you in need of repentance and forgiveness?

  it's perverted, really.

  i've never gone through this, nor will i. these people teach that jesus is the mediator to jehovah, yet they readily take that place when it comes to collecting details.

  Razor, try left click & hold, drag to select, when done right click, choose copy, open word and choose paste. It should drop in in nice neat tabulated squares that fit onto A4 page. That is for Firefox, haven't tried it in IE. The Edit/Select All does not seem to work in this instance. Hope it helps

  Thanks for your replies. It is interesting to note that the dreams related are always negative. No one has said what a great time they were having. Does anyone have lucid dreams - you know, when you know you are dreaming and have a measure of control. It always facinates me that all the characters have different characteristics and personalities, yet your mind fabricates them all in your mind yet you cannot control them.

  Fullofdoubt, I have been out nearly 6 years or so. I am often on the FM with an elder and can't understand why I am there and why I have a bookbag full of mags.

It is not so bad if the dream goes lucid and I can tell them what I think (such fun) but generally it is a right nightmare. Anyone else have the same type of dreams

  No Need to Donate to Eastern Europe any more!!!!!!

  by Gill in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it was announced last night, by letter from the london bethel that there is no longer a need to donate to congregations in eastern europe as they are no longer poor!!!!

  i was told this by my parents.

  they wanted to make the point that the borg is not a money grabbing organization and are no longer demanding money for eastern europe.. they failed to understand that the borg did not say 'stop contributing' per se.

  It makes sense. Most eastern European countries are now joined to or joining the EEC. They will just 'suggest' that the bretheren from these countries send their donation to Mill Hill.

  damn those egyptian piles of rocks and stones, so skillfully put together without an instruction book as to what their 'true' or not so obvious uses are, or may have been!!!.

  for nearly forty years, because of some blokes pyramidology fantasy i wasted my life and others have wasted their whole lives, waiting for something that was never going to happen in the first place!.

  now, i find myself reading up on pyramids!

  the infamous colossians 1:16....."because by means of him all ((((other)))))) things were created...".

  at the very bottom of the first page of their bible ...the foreword.... it says.

  I too get lost in these greek topics, but I agree with Terry and his conclusion. I discuss these things with members of my family - as I am not DA/DF or any other D at present. When I point out these things you can hear the cogs grinding and cracking as they fight against the thoughts, give up and say 'Well Jehovah will show us what is right' - or that well used 'I will leave it in Jehovahs hands' cop-out. You have to have a good reason to want to know this stuff and most dubbies don't.

  Could anyone tell me how exactly Jehovah chose the WT society in 1919?

  by Qcmbr in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this teaching is so unique and singular to the jws and fascinates me greatly but i have yet to get any jw answer how this choosing actually happened and instead i'm left with the same feeling of confusion that i get when i ask how someone would know they were anointed.

  how did this process of selecting a correct church occur, how did they know it would happen in 1919 if they weren't pre-selected already, how did they know it was going to happen (bit rough on all the other churches who clearly didn't get a chance to spruce themselves up for 1919) and once the votes were cast and jehovah made up his mind how did he inform the contestants of the results?

  do the jws claim any kind of divine affirmation of their selection at all?

  I have had this discussion with a family member. I said, tell me, The supreme soveriegn's chief executive of the universe comes down to Earth to choose a group of people, saying, "You are the ones I choose" and appoints them over everything and tells them to make known all his teachings and about the big 'A' and no-one notices. There is nothing in the press or on the wireless, in fact if you went out into the street and asked someone, at the very time, or the next day if you like no-one would be able to tell you anything about it. It is the same with the 'Seven Trumpets'. I asked her if there was any mention of it anywhere in the world when these took place, anything at all (except what is in the WT). I asked her to go out into the street today and pick anyone she liked (an old person would probably be best) and ask them about the trumpets. I guaranteed her that no-one would know what she was talking about, yet they were going to study the Rev book again and read these things again as truth. I dared her to ask the study conductor if he could explain it and how they were relevant today - for they sure as hell weren't back then..

  When you think about it, it is a non-starter from the start. 6 million JW (lets be generous and say they all do the distributing) x 50 tracts = 300 million tracts. 6 Billion odd persons in the world. Hmmm. Hardly world coverage. In more understandable figures, there are 100 JW in my ex cong. 100 x 50 tracts = 5000 tracts. There are 60,000 in the town. That means 55,000 people won't get one (thankfully) I agree with other comments. It is designed to whip up excitement within the JW's themselves. I remember many moons ago when the first KN (that I remember) in the 70's was due out. We were told there was a special 'WORK' that would be performed. There was much excitement. One elder thought we would all be bused into a location en-masse, hit them with whatever it was going to be. Then we would move on to another location. The authorities would say 'we're not having this' and so start the persecution! How exciting we thought - until the KN arrived. Boo no bus rides. Then there was the mega limpy and embarrasing KN 'Will all people ever love one another'. How dissapointing was that. We expected at least a kick-arse one. Oh well. And now we have one that I think, and so do many others judging by this topic, that it is a disingenuous means to try and manufacture persecution, just like old Ratherafraud did. The pity of this is that it works for them and makes them feel at war and they feed off each other and the bunker effect kicks in and reality becomes distorted. They will walk down the streets expecting thunderbolts anytime soon and give each other knowing looks, feeling warm and cosy in their 'safe' new found reality. It wears off after a few days when they find nothing will have happened, the spell will break and it will be back to the treadmill of meetings and FM. Funny thing is, no-one will mention any of the feelings and thoughts they had had. It will be as though it had never happened - until the next time.
