  Grocery Store conversation with an elder

  by problemaddict 2 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i'm inactive here to the local jw's as i have faded.

  i've been slandered and all that, shunned by some but not all, but the elders basically leave me alone.

  i still run into to people all over though.

  2. experiences

  my jw wife, like all of us, was saddened by the senseless killings in nevada.

  she said, "the shootings just shows how much we need god's kingdom.

  " i replied, "yes if it was armageddon, jehovah wouldn't have left any survivors.

  @ Sour Grapes:

  Morris and Lett are anointed, so they will be in heaven. But then again who knows at this point. You certainly gave your wife a "drop the mic and exit the stage" moment.

  Need help understanding the Overlapping Generation teaching

  by Jules Saturn in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so this is a topic that seriously boggles my mind and please correct me if i'm wrong.

  to me, the jw definition of the overlapping generation teaching is that the lives of the anointed from 1914 overlap with the lives of the anointed right now.

  david splane used the example of fred franz and how he finished his "earthly course" in 1992 but while he did, he had a lot of "contemporaries" that outlived him and are currently living today.

  JW Rumor: End of the Traveling Overseer

  by Edison Trent in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  a friend of mine has contacts to a family with several circuit overseers and special pioneers.

  they have good connections to bethel.. he told me that the latest rumor from bethel states that the cos should be abolished in their present form.

  they have also recently begun to take cos back to bethel.. over the same channel i have already heard of the car fleet program and that the dos should be abolished.. has anyone else already heard of it?

  Virtually all of the school aged kids in my hall were/are homeschooled. Most of them have no social skills and would not last a day “in the world”. Maybe that is the point, to keep them dependent on the borg.

  Ever bump in to a JW acquaintance at the gym?

  by Vetiver in

  1. social
  2. physical

  this has happened to me on 4 occasions.

  3 times it was an elder and i simply pretended i didn't know him and avoided eye contact.

  the other time was someone of my age that didn't really talk to me of the opposite sex.

  The "circle" of the earth

  by stillin in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a fair bit of time was spent discussing the (one) scripture in the bible that "proves" that when the bible touches on scientific subjects, it is absolutely correct.

  this was at the most recent clam meeting this past week.

  from isaiah, the reference to the "circle" of the earth.

  The New NWT has replaced "circle" with "sphere".

  Just kidding!

  Will YOU Ever Leave The Watchtower Org.?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there is usually a metamorphosis that takes place for a person to leave the jehovah's witness religion.

  most people do not just up and go simply because they realize this could not be the truth.

  it often takes time.. for those that go to meetings or engage in the ministry, will you forever continue doing these things, knowing that it is all bs?

  I have been mentally out since 2010. I still go to the occasional meeting/convention with my wife and son. Even that is dying off.
