Remember Franz's Nephew?"

My father would say: That Franz's nephew was the biggest apostate the society ever had. Wanted to take over the society. Wanted to take Fred's place.

watchtower is desperately trying to keep the number of partakers down. Attendants are told to count only ones that body of elders feel are "true, authentic, annointed".

My husband was a "server god" this year. When he came around with the crackers and we made eye contact we both started to giggle.

If they only knew that the person passing them the holy emblems was the biggest apostate our town as ever seen. I swear some of them would pass out.

The actual memorial talk was as usual crap. The first 5 min reflection on ransom and the rest of the talk on who should eat the crackers and drink the wine and dont forget to ask for your bible study at the end.

There is so much anger in us that at times it has to come out. Your sisters will think about what you said and who knows they may see it too.

It was surreal. Your impressions of the "Monthly Awake!" service meeting?

by ezekiel3 in

at our service meeting the conductor of "more emphasis on the bible!

" (the march kingdom ministry article discussing the monthly awake!

) routinely asked the questions, comments were read from the paragraph and there was a rediculous emphasis on the scriptures cited, even to the point that wt references were given that had nothing to do with the subject.

wannaexit

I was amazed at the comments.

Many commented that this is a sign of the urgency of the times. That the society is preparing us for what is to come.

In other words the dubs are viewing this as indication that the end is just around that corner.

I wanted to puke
