Local Needs 07/08/2014

by piztjw in

i don't know whether i should laugh, or run screaming into the night.. tonights "local needs" was titled "are you following 'the slave' "?.

the theme scripture was 1 peter 2: 21. it was applied that by following jesus steps closely we would then be able to keep up with 'the slave'.

now i don't know about others, but if i were to follow one person and that meant to keep up with someone else, it would mean that the person i was following was following the other person.

It's laughable that WT encourages JWs to use the latest technology, like iPads, all while still going from door to door.

Typical WT: trying to swim laps while dragging a boat anchor.

The problem is that the nearly 1,000.00 brand new desktop PC that was forced down your throats three months ago with the sales pitch that it was all that was needed is not capable of connecting to the big screen and projector. So now you get to buy a brand new laptop, and anyone who wants the PC can buy it

A cong. I used to be associated with does this same thing with real estate. Purchase land for a new KH, then find out it's not zoned for that use, the location isn't so great after all, etc. Sell it, take a huge loss, buy another parcel. Repeat. Squandering of funds and never any accountability. But what do you expect from janitors pretending they are Donald Trump or some techie guru?

@ Pistoff: Great stuff, wish I could get my relatives to read the old watchtower writings and see how crazy they are

.

I've had these conversations with JW relatives and had them read directly from publications like Harp of God, Re: 1799 was the beginning of the last days and 1874 was Jesus' Return.

All I got for a response was, "so what? We've "progressed" a lot since then". A JW simply cannot put 2+2 together and see this information and WT teachings for what they are: pure nonsense, and proof this never was god's chosen religion (if god actually existed).

A JW simply switches cognitive dissonance into high gear and pretends all is well in Never Never Land.

New "Caleb and Sofia" video on JW.ORG....you have to see it!

by stuckinarut2 in

ok, so i dont want to be a negative bitter person...and we all love little kids, but i am just so torn about the new video just uploaded on jw.org.

if you havent watched it yet, have a look at it...."an animated series that touches hearts".

(yes, its well done...and they certainly like to do a lot of boasting about their technical skills etc...).

Evolution: A Satanic Theory

by cofty in

there is an excellent new article at jehovah's trumpet.... friends, the following article is not about masturbation, oral sex, anal sex, or homosexuality so it may not be appropriate for children.

please use godly wisdom when deciding if your child is mature enough to consider this material.

we are going to have a frank discussion about the theory of evolution.... .

AndDontCallMeShirley

The best protection against evidence is to stay spiritually strong

LOL !

Yet, we may ask ourselves, why does the Theory of Evolution sometimes prove more seductive than fornication?

Solution: WT needs to come up with a Theory of Fornication to seduce people back from Evolution.....

"an animated series of videos to help children apply Bible principles."

I learned a boatload of Bible priciples from this video. Thank you, Jehovah™, for making really cheesy videos instead of doing anything important that really matters.

Strange story from Assembly

by Clambake in

i am at the assembly and the last speaker of the day is doing some boring and cliche talk about trusting in jehovah and not being anxious and stuff.

then he starts into this story about this 11 year old boy named nigel who has cancer and is going to have a court ordered blood transfusion.. i am getting up to leave because i am thinking he is going to start into some story about he managed to get out of it and died for jehovah or something like that.

the speaker never finishes the story about what finally happened.

@ NT: I definitely think a chocolate cream pie should be thrown into the face of Anthony (Tight pants) Morris 'The Turd'

Frankly, (pun intended) I'd rather like to see him pelted to a pulp by a relentless barrage of hot dogs.....

From Amherst Maine, no that's Massachusetts, errors galore from platform, warning to Russians not to take Ukrainian's Bibles

by oppostate in

i went to the whole three days of regional convention in amherst ma.

mostly i slept through the talks, and i did get a lot of exercise walking around the concourse area looking for a bathroom that didn't have an exesive wainint line to go pee, yes, at this convention even the men's rooms had waiting lines!!!

it seemed like a full third of the audience was perpetually walking around and socializing during the program.. there were so many errors, so many speakers tripping over their words from the manuscripts they were reading.

AndDontCallMeShirley

@ Crazyguy: why do they even have bibles anymore, most of thier doctrine is man made...

.

Precisely. WT says that no one can read their Bible and understand it on their own. Only the GB can explain it. Really, what this means is a JW is wasting their time by doing any Bible reading whatsover.

Pets aren't people, says speaker at Regional Convention. Fido and Mimi better watch out! And instead of drinking wine or beer go do some gardening or play golf.

by oppostate in

a big discussion driving back from the regional convention about what exactly was meant about pets.. the warning was obvious to me.

don't get pets, they cost time and money and you would do better to spend your time and money supporting the organization and going in field service.. as to the wine and beer, because the bro during his soliloquy admitted that the first thing he would like to do is relax after a hectic day at work with a glass of wine or beer, his conscience was traumatized.

however he came up with a perfect idea, he'd go tend the garden (obviously a solution for a married bro) or hit some golfballs at the driving range (maybe he's not married).. maybe jesus should have told the wine guzzlers at cana to sober up and go till the fields.. .

@ stuck: how the f#$k can men living in Bethel, who dont have pets, presume to write talks about not getting attached to pets!

.

By the same way that men living in Bethel, who don't have children (and probably never will), presume to write talks about how to raise children.
