  I will NEVER EVER join another religion. I still have a strong relationship and Faith in my heavenly father and his son. I believe in the Bible, but not in the same way I did before. I now realize that it was written to those people for those people, we can gain from it, but it has all been fulfilled, yes even Revelation being as it was written before the fall of Jerusalem, and applied to that AHHH Shocking I know. So I am no longer a dispensationalist as are most religions I am now a Preterist in my view of the bible. http://preterist.org/

  OHHHHHH YA, even my almost kinda b/f at the time, said as much, when I said that this was not like it was supposed to be 'first century Christianity." and he said, "be thankful were not back there or we'd have to stone you". I was too upset at the time to reason with him, but ummm in the 1st century who was doing the stoning and who was being stoned. HMMMMM... ohhh ya the TRUE christians were the ones being stoned, so those casting them were the BAD GUYS, the Pharasis AKA GB. They actually condem themselves when they say that! DUMB!!!

  HAHAH Englishman, reminds me of something I posted on H2O a while back!

  If I’d been tried on H2O here’s what part of my trial might have sounded like:
  JW’S: An Apostate! An Apostate! An Apostate! We've got an Apostate! An Apostate!
  FRED HALL: We have found an Apostate, might we disfellowship her?
  JW’S: Disfellowship her! Disfellowship!
  YK: How do you know she is a Apostate?
  FRIDAY: She looks talks one.
  YK: Bring her forward.
  VENICE: I'm not a Apostate. I'm not a Apostate.
  YK: But they say you speak like one.
  VENICE: It’s all things they have taught.
  JW’S: No, we didn't... no.
  VENICE: the WTS is not a true prophet; it's a false one.
  YK: Well?
  FRED HALL: Well, we did change some things.
  YK: The dates?
  FRED HALL: And some doctrines -- but she is a Apostate!
  JW’S: Disfellowship her! Apostate! Apostate! Disfellowship her!
  YK: Did you teach her these things?
  JW’S: No, no... no ... yes. Yes, yes, a bit, a bit.
  FRED HALL: She has got a different Bible.
  YK: What makes you think she is a Apostate?
  7: Well, she’s done research on our religion.
  YK: Research?
  7: Yes, she found out the truth!
  FRIDAY: Disfellowship her anyway!
  JW’S: Disfellowship! Disfellowship her!
  YK: Quiet, quiet. Quiet! There are ways of telling whether
  she is a Apostate.
  JW’S: Are there? What are they?
  YK: Tell me, what do you do with Apostates?
  FRIDAY: Disfellowship!
  JW’S: Disfellowship, disfellowship them up!
  YK: And what do you disfellowship apart from Apostates?
  FRED HALL: More Apostates!
  FRIDAY: Sinners?
  YK: So, why do we disfellowship Apostates?
  [pause]
  7: B--... 'cause they're made of wood...?
  YK: Good!
  JW’S: Oh yeah, yeah...
  YK: So, how do we tell whether she is made of wood?
  FRED HALL: Build a bridge out of her.
  YK: Aah, but can you not also build bridges out of stone?
  FRIDAY: Oh, yeah.
  YK: Does wood sink in water?
  FRED HALL: No, no.
  FRIDAY: It floats! It floats!
  FRED HALL: Throw her into the pond!
  JW’S: The pond!
  YK: What also floats in water?
  FRED HALL: Bread!
  FRIDAY: Apples!
  7: Very small rocks!
  FRED HALL: Cider!
  FRIDAY: Great gravy!
  FRED HALL: Cherries!
  FRIDAY: Mud!
  7: Churches -- churches!
  FRIDAY: Lead -- lead!
  Milton H: A duck.
  JW’S: Oooh.
  YK: Exactly! So, logically...,
  FRED HALL: If... she.. weighs the same as a duck, she's made of wood.
  YK: And therefore--?
  FRED HALL: An Apostate!
  JW’S: An Apostate!
  YK: We shall use my larger scales!
  [yelling]
  YK: Right, remove the supports!
  [whop]
  [creak]
  JW’S: An Apostate! An Apostate!
  VENICE: It's my lawyer!!
  JW’S: Disfellowship her! Disfellowship! [yelling]
  YK: Who are you who are so wise in the ways of science?
  MILTON H.: I am a MILTON H., of the GB.
  YK: My liege!
  MILTON H.: Good Sir knight, will you come with me to Brooklyn,
  and join us on the Governing Body?
  YK: My liege! I would be honored.
  MILTON H.: What is your name?
  YK: You Know, my leige.
  MILTON H.: Then I dub you Sir YK, Knight of the GB table.

  Obituary Pioneers

  by LovesDubs in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  things have gotten desperate in the us for the borg.

  they lowered the hours required by the pioneers to 70 and there was this little surge in the number of pioneers and yet there was a negative "increase" in this country.

  so...desperate times call for desperate measures.

  That reminds me Loves,last year we saw some JW's we knew with Lit in the airport. They were standing there holding them up, I looked at them and they were all VERY VERY old issues like some from the 80's! We were horrified, we were faithful little drones at the time, but we're still horrified. The funny thing is if someone read them they could be DF'd for beliveing what was printed in those older issues. SO RETARDED!!!!

  2. friends

  this is only the second post that i've made on this board, so i hope that by posting this a second time, that i'm not violating some rule that i'm unaware of.

  if i am, then i apologize to all.. however, this answer to stillintruth is on the fourth page of his last post, and i want to make sure he and as many others as possible can see it.. you will note that i sign my real name to the bottom of this.

  that is meant as an open challenge to any and/or all to do something about it.

  Where do they sit in your hall?

  by ns7 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  what i find bemusing is, if there are any disfellowshipped ones in your hall they have to sit at the back.

  now without getting into the merits/rights/wrongs of whether this should be still acceptable, where do they sit in your hall?

  you see i seem to remember that they would sit on the back row, come in quietly just after the song and prayer and leave at the end just as quick.

  I was reading these to Mom, and she reminded me about the time my uncle from out of state was visiting and giving the public talk. It ws during the Olympics, so when he was finshing up his talk, we were sitting in the back row and we all held up 9's and 10's. He about lost it on the stage, and I don't think I had a clue what the WT study was about that day!!!! hahhahh ohh we were so bad!

  mat 27:52-53. and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, .

  OHHH the mics. My uncle was on the worst, but the other brother were bad too. They would pull on the cord while you were commenting to make you lose your thought. Happend to me a lot so I'd just grab the cord with my other hand. Once time you could hear my voice stringing as I was pulling with all my might! Then sometimes they'd hand mom hte mic in front and then walk around and take it from the back, so yes the cord was around my neck. We used to really goof off during the meetings. I used to put my foot on the cord if they'd ben messing with me and the mic that night. Or they loved to pull the cord up as your waling to the bathroom, so you have try to step over it real quick, no one else in the hall of course has a clue what your doing and or why your glaring at the poor mic handler and hopping. OHHH well I guess there were a few good memories.

  I remember one elder was giving a talk and the podeium fell and he yelled out, "Polterguist". We about died!!!
