  Some prayers really annoy me

  by stillin in

  i realize that prayer is a really personal thing, but representing a group in prayer has become so full of cliche's that i just want to vomit sometimes.

  co week almost every prayer has the phrase "special week of activity" in it.. then there's "please look after the sick and afflicted.".

  not so much anymore, "please bless this food and the hands that prepared it.".

  "please bless the governing body"

  "please forgive us for our sins and imperfection"

  "we leave this meeting in your care and direction"

  Ever heard of a brother being DFD and just walking away from family support?

  by Crazyguy in

  just wondering if there ever been a brother that got dfd and then was shunned by his wife and his at home kids and he's just said , if your going to treat me like this screw it and walked away from all his responsibilities as a provider etc?

  it must be hard for those that are dfd to continue to support those that shun him?

  again anyone hear of such a case?.

  If a man leaves his wife, it's sad but 'sh*t happens' all the time. Not supporting your own kids is a different matter all together. Even if your kids shun you at first because you're df'ed or divorced, I truly believe that if a man continues to support his kids, they will soon see the light and the harmful folly in the wtbts's shunning policy. It may take a while for kids who have been heavily indoctrinated by wtbts sh*t to come around, but I think they will eventually because, in most cases, blood is thicker than wt sh*t!

  Going "Hollywood" not helping!

  by eyeuse2badub in

  going “hollywood” hasn’t seemed to help build any enthusiasm for the wtbts.

  think about it, jw’s now have their own studio to make videos and cartoons.

  the ‘kingdom’ dirges (songs) have received a makeover to a bit more modern tunes.

  Are you using baptism at one convention as your quantitative evidence for the fact that it does not work or is you using some other evidence?

  I'm not using just one qualifier, (less baptisms) to support the waning support for the "new and improved" Hollywood version of the wtbts. Take a look at most kh's and the attendance is down significantly during the mid week especially. No one really wants to 'go out in service' any more. Weekend meetings are still somewhat supported unless, or course, something else more interesting is available. Dumbing down the literature both in quantity and quality of the message. Standing there like a 'wooden Indian' beside those ridiculous carts is what everyone around here wants to do. Baptism decline is just one of many of "the signs of the end" of their system of things, IMHO.

  It`s already happening at WBT$/JW Assemblies...

  JW.Org Flags flying at the 2015 Regional Convention in Fribourg, Switzerland

  Thanks for the heads up about the JW.Org flags at some of the conventions! Wow, I was just being facetious and didn't know that it was already happening. Maybe the wtbts will start having a flag raising ceremony and a pledge of loyalty immediately following the opening prayer at their conventions. Such crazy sh*t from the 7 brothers of Christ isn't that far fetched anymore. Can't wait till they install the flag poles at the kh's.

The ‘kingdom’ dirges (songs) have received a makeover to a bit more modern tunes. Catchy little songs for their videos such as; ‘Just around the corner’ are now played via JW.Org. They now have their own version of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir to educate the sheeple on all ‘new’ songs that have been added. What’s next? Possible a flag pole at each KH with the JW.Org flag flying?

  I attended the recent Long Beach, CA convention with 6,445 in attendance and only 30 baptized, mostly kids or .46%. Me thinks that jehober’s chariot is running out of holy spirit!

  Why do they flee and hide

  by eyeuse2badub in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  something that has often struck me in my morning musings is: why should “god’s people” ever need to hide or flee in fear?.

  there are numerous accounts recorded in the bible, both ot and nt, where prophets, kings, apostles and others have either been told to flee and hide or have just experienced that normal human feeling of fear and have fled and hidden instinctively.

  even recently, the wtbts has produced vivid images in the wt magazine and videos of “god’s people” hiding out in bunkers to avoid detection.. is it just another broken promise from jehober that he will “without fail” protect “his people”?

  perhaps someone can assist here?.

  while watching the may 2017 broadcast, it struck us how similar g jackson looks (while sitting and wearing his waist coat) to the muppets character prof bunsen!!!!.

  perhaps someone with better computer skills can upload the pics side by side?.

  Everyone of the gb members certainly qualify as muppet characters especially when they appear on the jw broadcast. Lett has to be the chief muppet! There is just no end to their ridiculousness.

  years ago it was all about armageddon and getting out of babylon the great.

  it was all about building a relationship with jehovah.

  The absolute biggest change in their message that I've noticed is that I don't do it any more. Freedom never tasted so good!

  Revised bible in Dutch

  by Rather Be the Hammer in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  we had a special talk (streaming) today from g. jackson, announcing the new revised bible in dutch.

  there are many many changes, even some of the the dutch 'jw-language' will change because bible verses changed.

  also brother jackson admitted (be it in a joking way ) that whole talks in the past (until now) had been based on wrong translated bible verses.

  What Jackson really meant to say, in a not so joking manner was the the whole f*cking religion is based on wrong translated bible verses.
