Giving "Jehovahs spirit" credit for mundane, everyday things!

by BU2B in

i am hearing this more and more and it is like nails on a chalkboard.

i hear it from the wt, from elders, from my parents and from jws in general.

this had to be jehovahs spirit!

@ OEJ: Finding a roll of toilet paper in the street while in service (apparently the pioneer sister had just run out and couldn't afford groceries for another couple days)

.

So the Holy Spirit couldn't give her food but did provide toilet paper? I'm completely underwhelmed!

At least if this JW had gone to a Catholic Mission (a part of Satan's world and false religion) they would've given her food. Holy Spirit's contribution? Toilet paper.

Let me guess HS's provision for something to eat: she looked under the bench at a bus stop on her way home and found a piece of old chewing gum? God be praised!

JW from Guatamala: "it's nice to know the history of our organization".

.

Laughably, I bet he doesn't know a damn thing about WT history, except for the trivia he learned on his Bethel tour.

Mention 1799, 1874 or Beth Sarim and he will give you a deer-in-the-headlights stare.

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...).

Knorr, Franz, et al, must be spinning in their graves at all this.

No, they are in Heaven ruling over all of us pond scum as powerful kings, remember?

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.....
