At the SM recently the PO was giving the congregation a pep talk. He said that he was very disappointed that the average hours in the congregation were so low and that he was sure they could do better. As proof, he said that their congregation had the lowest hours in the area and if the others could do more so could they.

Our friend’s reaction? He and his wife have decided never to report again.

His conclusion was. “It’s just competition, that’s all it is.”

Once again, they’ve just gone too far.

XJW Scams Resteraunt.....

i think most of us at some time have had the experience of overhearing a conversation while travelling, or in a coffee shop, and realizing that we are listening to a crafty jw in the middle of preaching.

you know the type of thing, "wont it be nice when god steps in and clears up all these problems", problems incidentally that they have just spent the past thirty minutes listing to their hapless listeners in morbid detail.

no-one cherishes their collection of grim news quite like a jw.

Hillary,

Thank you. That was brilliant. I just love it that you can be sooo funny without being dirty, rude, crude or nasty.

What a great mind you have.

My admiration is perhaps the progeny of my agreement with about 90% of your serious posts.

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME

I can’t get the pickies to come out of their little boxes. Please tell how me to release them.

I just can’t bear it when everyone else oohs and aars, and says how wonderful they are.

My Wife Says She'll Read Franz' Crisis Of Conscien

major headway has been made.

my wife has said that she would like to read coc!

i recently bought 30 years a watchtower slave.

Hi Minimus and Mrs Minimus.

I just wanted to let you know that we are thinking of you.

This time last year I read COC, then ISOCF.

What turmoil of heart and mind.

I had been baptized for over 40 years, and it seemed my whole life was falling down around me. I was angry [at them and me], hurt, sad, disappointed, disenchanted, frustrated, and very, very depressed.

I thought about it day and night.

I could hardly think about anything else.

The strange thing is that we had known for years that everything was not as it was proclaimed to be. My husband had been in Bethel and in many responsible positions over the years. We knew many of the problems both doctrinal and organizational. But it was still a blow. A disillusional shock to our whole being.

Now the encouraging bit.

W e are pleased to have confirmed, things that were just nigglings in the back of our minds.

We are now much more contented.

My husband has always been a very spiritual person [that was why many of the society’s teachings concerned him], and we have continued on with our prayers and Bible readings etc. Actually we are enjoying our Bible reading more than ever. We are also coming to realize that the Society does not give as much importance to our Lord Jesus as does the Bible [and I don’t mean the trinity teaching].

One thing is for sure. We have much greater peace of mind.

From here we can move on.

I don’t know if I helped. But I just want you to know that we understand your pain and are here to help if we can.

Christian love

Need info re disfellowshiping.

we were having a conversation with a thinking witness and spoke about the injustice in the organization.

specifically the fact that one can be disfellowshiped for something and the society then changes its teaching to agree with the belief held by the disfellowshiped person.

however there is no apology and they are not automatically reinstated.

My problem is I promised him a list of such changed beliefs and my list is rather small.

Alternative service.

Organ transplants.

Higher powers.

Rape [to scream or not to scream].

Any additions to my rather meager list would be accepted with gratitude.

Oh Kelpie, dear Kelpie we’re aching, as we watch and feel your heart tear,

And we pray, maybe your mother will now feel she can come back to you.
