Silent Knight, be careful about someone PM'ing you for more info, it could be the very elders who want to find out who you are, so be careful.

And the dumbing down continues...

by NikL in

maybe it's complete in light of this sundays wt study...“what you vow, pay”.

it is all about paying your vows and especially focuses on three types.. 1 your dedication vow (baptism).

2 your marriage vow.

Yeah, they say pay your vows to Jehovah, but then after 20-40 years of that service, they "lay you off" and say they don't need you anymore and now you have no job experience except making cheese for 40 years and now you are 60 or 65 years old and told to go make a living some how.

This is NOT what God meant when he said he would look after us. The Shaft doesn't really play into the picture of it all, but through Watchtower, some how they think it does.

What happened in the last couple years, the laying off of older ones really tics me off.

How Many Here Used To Sneak Looking At "apostate" Material?

by minimus in

i did!

even when i was in junior high school i would go to the library and look for anything that was about charles taze russell or millenial dawn or jehovah's witnesses..... maybe i was an "apostate " in the making..

LevelThePlayingField

For me, it was in 2004 when I first ventured out to any so called apostate site. I don't think there was jwfacts.com yet. I can't really remember what was there, but I remember reading about how Russel was saying vaccinations were nothing and will always be nothing. I thought What?!

At the time that was about it, I never made the connection between that material and what we can see today on the internet. It's strange really, I mean what the internet was in 2004 and now today, 13 years later in 2017.

We are becoming champions of grief. We lost twin B.

by Darkknight757 in

last week we had a reassurance ultrasound with our ob.

she was just supposed to check heartbeats on the two little ones and they were going strong!

but because she had extra time and she can be quite anal about her work (which is a good thing) she decided to take some measurements.

My heart goes out to you and your wife.

Last song at Regional Convention of 2016 was stolen from Audiomachine

by LevelThePlayingField in

as far as i know, i did a search, and you may not know this but, the last song play during a music video of the regional convention, was not of watchtower.

it's stolen from a group called audiomachine off their album epica.

the song is called eternal flame and it is exactly and i mean, note for note the same as the music video.

I have links to both the videos here, the convention video and then the Audiomachine video from youtube.

Amarillo TX RBC Liquidation- Branch Resource Recovery Team

by jwabuse.com in

got this in my inbox today, thought it was kind of interesting.

i like the wording "all proceeds go to non-profit programs.

" i wonder what all exactly the "branch resource recovery team" gets involved in?.

LevelThePlayingField

There are a TON of pictures there with thousands and thousands of dollars in tools and trailers/equipment! This is no small thing here. It's as if they know they won't be doing any real building from now on, or they will contract everything out from here on.

What the hell is going on? This is the third auction I have seen like this.

Jehovah's Witnesses Knocking at my Front Door

by Richlist in

jw
friends

i have jw's knocking on my door about 4 times a year.

they walk along the whole street knocking on all the properties trying to hand out leaflets about god.. i always engage them in conversation.

my street has a very large number of oap's who could really do with some extra help.....grass cutting, shopping, cleaning, help around the house, gardening, diy etc.. never once have i been able to persuade any jw's to do something worthwhile for these residents.. i'm left with the thought that jw's don't want to do anything really worthwhile for these people.......why ?.

LevelThePlayingField

The JW's, in all honesty really don't want to help. They don't want to role up their sleeves and help in that way of any kind. It's really in their culture. They would much rather just tell you the good news and leave it at that.

Now, is that really Christian, no. But, while I tend to consider them as Christians, they really lack in this. I have often wondered, what's wrong with preaching to someone and then helping them with their lawn cutting, or running to the pharmacy for them. Would it really be that bad? The answer is, of course not. But see, this is where the culture comes in.

All along, from the beginning they have been taught to believe the best way to help someone is to preach the good news of the kingdom. And, sorry to say, but that's all they are taught. They weren't taught to the second best thing, which is to role up your sleeves and actually do something. Like, run a food drive, or visit widows, regardless if they are of their faith, in the nursing homes. To actually help fatherless boys, by contributing to any charities that support them, or by being foster parents themselves.

See, this is all in vain in the Jehovah's Witnesses' minds. Isn't that crazy? You bet it is. But that's the truth.

Sad to say.

so much for babylon the great falling in 1919

by nowwhat? in

suposedly babylon the great lost her power and influence over the people and government rulers back in 1919. flash forward to today the russian orthodox church is behind the banning of witnesses in russia.

yet another failed prophecy!

have these guys gotten anything right?!

LevelThePlayingField

I like that. "Did you know that 1914 was calculated by measuring a pyramid?" Truly classic, and yes it was calculated that way. But any JW (or 99.5%) don't have a clue about it.

Dumb shits.
