  i was commenting on another thread about how local kh attendance is down.

  memorial attendance was also way down and the circuit assembly had hundreds less people than what is typical.

  my jw family has even mentioned it.

  I was told when you represent Jehovah in service or in the meetings you should wear your best gear. If you are invited to be a guest of the Queen or the President you would wear your best duds, soooo standing before Jehovah all parts of the body enclosed , your most modest attire. Jehovah loves it when the weater is hot and the brothers wearing suits, he demand it. Maybe someone can show us a scriptures where this is the case.

  J.W.`s and Paradise and the Reality of it.

  by smiddy3 in

  2. beliefs

  when god created adam and eve and put them in the garden of eden it was then up to them to cultivate and take care of it ,god had no further hand in it .the responsibility rested with adam/eve and their offspring.. the same would be true in the paradise to come ,god gets rid of all of us wicked people ,but then it is up to j.w.~s who are left on this earth to restore such a paradise.?

  without god`s intervention.. think of it , this system is gone with all its infrastructure.. 8 million + j.w.`s scattered throughout the earth with.

  no communication systems operating .

  NO,NO. My wife also read it to me and shortly afterward she went to the store and called me. It was lunch time and she saw several JWs walking into a restaurant, and how did she know they were JW. Today it's around 100 degrees and the women had long dresses and the men in suits.

  Over eating v over drinking

  by Normalfulla in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when i was in, i couldn't understand why the subject of over eating or gluttony was almost never discussed, there was countless talks and articles about over drinking but over eating is lumped in as the same offence in the bible but was never discussed?

  an elder who was serving in the islands told me he heard a talk given by a local in the cong there who professed that "in the new system we can eat as much as we want and not get fat".

  so why was /is it not talked about?

  That's one of the only joy of being a JW (food). There are two things JWS are known for, booze and the best restaurants to eat.

  Who wrote the Bible?

  by Ireneus in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the wordings suggest much of the bible is written by false friends of god.

  to mention a few:.

  1) god planted a special tree to pay the way for suffering and death into the lives of his children.. 2) god protected cain who murdered his innocent brother out of sheer jealousy.

  I believe the bible is the world's biggest practical jokes. Talking snake, talking ass and Good vs Evil. There are events in the bible when good become evil and evil becomes the good guy. I'am sure if you could sit down with the writers of the bible today and ask them, was it all BS? Not all but we were trying to get everyone on the same page, folks was out of control. So no way in the world no one could verify some our outrageous stories, until now.

  Yes I have heard that for over 30 years from my JW family members, "you have destroyed the family, come back and all will be good ". You the reason why our nephews and nieces don't know one another, you the reason why our none JW family members think we are in a cult (lLOL)." " I would hate to be in your shoes when you stand before Jehovah to answer for those family members lying in the streets and birds eating their flesh". We must admit that is a sick organization..
