  I'm still under the radar for some family issues and still connected to some "lifers" in the Borg / Bethel.

  I remember when Freddie F was at our house once for lunch or dinner or something when he gave a talk in our congregation when they did the Saturday night / Sunday talk thing.

  I was probably about 10 or 12 at the time. He pulled me aside and said (not an exact quote, but very close) ... "Rub a Dub, don't think about 1975 ... it's really 1974 ... there are likely some miscalculations in the actual number of months."

  I will never forget that. He was so sincere. An odd little man, but sincere. You could see it in his eyes.

  He really liked roasted lamb and red wine. I remember when he asked for refills of red wine, he referred to it as "coffee" ... lol.

  he reinterated the end time events.

  destruction of babylon the great, proclamation of peace and security, then our hailstorm message and finally armageddon.

  we all can go into detail what a load of 💩 this is but here is the kicker.

  He said we need to be totally engaged in the ministry now if not how are we going to muster of the strength to deliver the hailstorm message

  nowwhat ...

  It is just a matter of finding a good hailstorm link and pasting it into an email when doing e-witnessing.

  I'm sure there are some good hailstorm, fire and sulfur, and natural disaster stuff links out there to "prove" that the end is so close.

  What to do with old publications

  by TonyMorronTheTurd in

  hi guys,.

  it's been a while since i posted here, but i feel like posting again.. it's hard sometimes to find the energy to post here after i expend all my time working a full time job and pretending i care about the wt$ at the same time.. i've been trying to slowly wake my girlfriend up ever since i first posted here, and i must say it is a long waiting game that i am playing right now.

  almost all my efforts are dismissed and i've been slowly losing hope.. anyways, what i meant to really post here today is about old publications.. honestly anything that has to do with the watchtower and jdubs, as of recently makes me feel like vomiting.

  I have stuff back to the 50's (and some stuff in the 40's); bound volumes, books, etc.

  When you have had a lot of old relatives in the Trooft, you end up with piles of stuff. I have at least five large boxes of stuff. At some point in time, if I ever move again, it will go on ebay for the cost of shipping if anyone really gives a crap about old stuff.

  I can't tell you how many of those "pieces" of the NWT I have thrown away when they were publishing parts of the Bible a piece at a time. I remember my parents had a complete copy of the bible they had taped together. It was like 5 or 6 parts until it was finally put all together and on better paper in the "Green Bible", the one with the dinosaur in the front cover (the one that all of us kids colored all of the parts in).

  How many copies of Let God Be True, Everlasting Life, Equipped for Every Good Work and other stuff do you need after awhile?

  Do Jw's Dress up in meeting clothes for Zoom meetings?

  by jeremiah18:5-10 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i am just curious if anyone knows whether the "friends" still are required to wear "meeting clothes" for attending meetings through zoom?

  such emphasis on dressing in a godly manner over the decades, would be interesting if some attend in pajamas or their work clothes, no makeup, etc....

  I bet they would block your picture wearing a shirt with "Religion is a Snare and Racket" even if you were wearing a tie.

  Jephthah's Daughter

  by Sea Breeze in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i have noticed that the foolishness of jephthah's vow to sacrifice his daughter gets bandied around a lot as somehow approved of by god.

  i never could understand how people could come to this conclusion.

  if i wrote about something terrible that my son had done, that doesn't mean that i am for that thing.

  I guess there is nothing like the smell of a young virgin roasting on an open fire. I bet you never forget the first waft.

  i was 20 years old and at bethel for just a couple of months.

  i was really depressed, as i was finding out what bethel was really all about.

  i drank a whole bottle of cold duck, after a long hot subway ride back to brooklyn.
