Yep, I can vividly remember using an illustration that I and many other elders used in our "encouraging" talks to the congregation. The illustration was;

"If you knew that your water supply had just one little drop of poison in it, would you drink it?"

Maybe jehober protects "his people" from poison! NOT

What changes would JW.org need to make to become a normal Christian denomination.

by UnshackleTheChains in

i am interested in getting people's thoughts on this.

on average 40 thousand people leave the organisation yearly for one reason or another.

the experiences all over the media are proof of this.

How about really applying the verse at James 1:27

27 The form of worship that is clean and undefiled from the standpoint of our God and Father is this: to look after orphans and widows in their tribulation,

Take care of the widows and orphans

I asked an elder how is the witnessing going in Bangladesh?

by Chook in

i said god is not giving them much of a chance to hear his message, i think it's one to 3 million ratio.

i said if wt paid prime internet space they could beam their propaganda to everyone instantly, then you could show the world mr lett live , and explain how he is to rule the world from heaven.

then i asked that god seems to like the anglo nations , i should of asked how many chinese and indian are on the gb..

Yes we have to admit that jehober certainly loves white anglos and especially americans. All 'new' publications are published in the american english language and only years later make it to other languages.

I remember the big event when the new bible, the silver sword, was released at the anal meeting. All the english speaking world was just gushing over how jehober was blessing them with this marvelous gift. Guess jehober didn't like the non english speaking jw's as much!

We can count our time though right?

Recently a friend of ours died at a rather young age. So one of her family members, a regular pioneer, attended the memorial along with several non jw family members that also attended the memorial.

The next day, the pioneer sister called my wife and the only thing that she could talk about was how much "time she got in" witnessing to the non jw's at the memorial.

Thank god for death and memorial services so that a pioneer can "get their time in".

Another JW Urban Legend Thread

by Funchback in

threads about jw urban legends are nothing new on this forum.

they are loads of fun to read.

how many of you remember the one about the teenager who skipped the meeting and decided to get into a car with his worldly friends and they worldly guys decided to rob a store and the jw didn't know they were going to do so but he was arrested simply for being with them?.

I loved the “urban legend” about an approaching typhoon and how all the local residents were told to evacuate and head for higher ground. However, it just so happened that it was meeting night for jw’s so the jw’s decided to attend the meeting and ignore the warning to evacuate. And what do you know, 30 or 40 jw’s perished that night even though they were inside the kingdom hall worshiping their god!

Oh maybe that was a true story! Anyone else hear that one?

I remember my Grandfather who was a CO saying;

by dogon in

i was thinking of my co grandfather who passed on a few years ago.

his wife my grandmother passed on in 99. i can remember him saying "i know after armageddon i can not be married to her but maybe we can live next to each other.

not sure where the cult stands on this issue today.

This touchy subject came up often when I was an elder. Many older ones who had been together for 50+ years seemed to be broken by the prospect of not being with their former mate in the "paradise earth".

I used to try to comfort them by telling them that we just don't know how it will be in the "paradise". My reasoning was that in the 'new system' when someone is resurrected and they have family members there to greet them, there children will still be their children, their parents will still be their parents, grand children still their grand children, etc. That the only fleshly relationship that will not be the same is the marriage mate.? Marriage is the most intimate fleshly relationship mankind can have, originated by god himself, but it's the only one dissolved in the "paradise"? lol

2017 Sunday RC Final Talk & Comments About 1975

by baldeagle in

many of us here have commented on the deceitful friday afternoon video shown at the 2017 rc that discussed 1975.. the video attempted to shift the blame onto congregation members for the fiasco saying, "some were looking to a certain date as signifying the end of this old system of things.".

this same video mentions how, “a few even went so far as selling their homes and quitting their jobs.”.

we all know that the wt leadership created this teaching and endorsed it right up to its abject failure.. now below is the concluding talk given on sunday at the rc.

What I was trying to say about "new light" was not so much the current wt spin on Matt 10:23 but rather the expression that the gb helper used when he used the phrase "extreme view"!

During the concluding talk at the Long Beach, CA convention a gb helper made the comment that it would an "extreme view" to take Jesus' word about the good news being preached 'in all the inhabited earth' literally. He went on to say that most likely not all will hear the good news! "New lite"?

You just can't make this sh*t up!
