  JW's like when tragic events the Boston bombing happen.

  by El_Guapo in

  so i get a text message this morning from an elder (also an old friend) from my hall.

  (mind you i haven't been to meetings in months) he says the following:.

  elder: did you hear about what happend in bos?

  Had a similar thing happen to me after 9/11. I remember watching TV and being horrified at the events unfolding, but then shortly after, during an elder's sheparding call, they touted that horrible day as something to rejoice in because it could be the start of Armageddon. I wasn't as quick on my feet as you were, though I did take offense at their rejoicing at such horror.

  I think they've taken that "raise your head erect, for your deliverence is near" and misintrepreted it to, "rejoice in the trials of others, because 'we told you so' "

  Why do the WT DF for smoking ?

  Phizzy, the reason you state regarding smoking being related to spiritism is one basis, and is still current. However, the primary reason used in disfellowshipping actions is this one:

  [insert boring, inane Proclaimer's quote. Sidebar: The first quote is enough to end the discussion - "the bible does not mention tobacco" ]

  You realize of course that the Proclaimer's explanation is just a smoke (heh heh) screen to cover up the original doctrine - that silly notion of smoking invites demons into your lungs. Ask a dub today why smoking is a DFing offense and odds are no one knows shit about the 70s WTS teaching that smoking was a link to spiritism.

  "Did you attend the Memorial this year?"

  "No". I told you it's been like 10 years now"

  "Oh cmon, Adam?"

  "I told you. Why can't you accept the answer, 'I'm not interested'"

  You should go. There's a whole section of the talk about you and why Jesus had to die because of you. I'm sure you'd find it highly entertaining...

  My View and Bobby Dylan's View of AntiWatchtower Special Groups

  my computer crashed so i am not fully informed of the recent antiwatchtower organization.

  i must vent, however.

  perhaps i am the only one on the face of the earth (or the entire universe) but i found cedar's opening announcement insulting.

  I was given this same directive as a hemophiliac child. To give you an example, I can bleed internally if I tie my shoelaces too tight, so physical attacks are much worse for me than the average person. When bullies assaulted me I was told I must turn the other cheek so they may hit me on the other side like Jesus, not run away or defend myself.

  When I defended myself once, the bullies stopped but I got a severe beating for disobedience to the bible.

  Okay, not defending the bullies or bullying, but at least the bullies probably didn't know how serious it was to your health to be physically bullied... but your parents did. And the fact that they beat you for defending yourself from attack, or even demand that you allow others to physically attack you, knowing full well your situation, makes them criminally negligent.

  Bullies need a good ass kicking, parents like that need to be locked up and have parenting rights take away.

  so now what?

  by Kaltas1 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i don't really know what to say i'm a bit nervous.

  but i am new here and i want to say thank you all for these forums and the many contributions people have made.. for about 9 months i been frequenting here and other places on the net while i have undergone an in depth bible analysis.

  after finding that my bible is not consistant with the more favorable options of translating greek words especially in key doctinal areas, i have concluded the great unlikelyhood of jehovah's witnesses having god's blessing and approval.. not just that though.

  warped logic from the memorial talk

  by why144000 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  speaker said we should not partake because when jesus arrives he will take the remnat to heaven and the memorial will be no more.

  just as we will not partake then (because the memorial will not exist) it is only logical that we will not partake now.

  warped logic at its finest!.

  He said the exact same at our Hall. It must have been in he script.

  either we were all at the same Memorial, or it was in the script, because I heard it too.

  don't know 'bout everywhere, but they did not mention the number of last year's partakers at the Memorial I attended. If this is consistent with all the other meetings throughout dubdom, I wouldn't be surprised if they drop off ever announcing number of partakers within a year or two.
