Reverse Shunning

by exwhyzee in

someting happened yesterday that i thought might be noteworty enough to relate to you here.. mrs. eyz and i were invited to my new boss's home for his annual end of summer party.

it's a pretty big deal....his is a name known locally (i'll call him j.r.) a really nice interesting guy who's held a number of high level and politically connected jobs.

there was to be music, dancing, wine and reprotedly lots of well dressed, well educated, well to do and influential people (oh yes...and us) in attendance.. anyway we thought we'd make an occasion out of it and got ourselves spiffed up which involved new outfits and extra mirror time before we left home.

How would you answer?

by punkofnice in

a friend of mine (who is waking up), recently had the elders do a sheep herding visit.. they were browbeating my friend about attending meetings.

my friend has been ill and unable to attend anyway.. what response would you give to this garbage?.

if we were in a house and it was on fire and we couldnt walk we would have to crawl.. an example of a sister with an iron lung was brought up to show that if shes in this condition, we need to examine ourselves.

Goal for new service year

by Daniel1555 in

the secretary of the congregation said in a talk, what the congregation should have as goal for the new service year: attend field service meetings!.

he explained in a sad tone, that he visited all of our 3 or 4 service groups.

and what happened at the field service meetings.

Surely the men in charge of rallying the troops must see the futility of their efforts. Are they really so naive? Blind? Hopeful? Duped? Does it serve to wake them up? Are they already aware - just playing the game?

Or are they completely dumbfounded by what's happening?

"The Only Way Those People Would Be In the New System Is if ISIS killed them!" Fifth JW To tell me that! Sam Harris Blog too

by BucketShopBill in

been out of commission due to some issues that i hope will get resolved and get my name out of the watchtower's registry.

oh how i am starting to believe this religion is demonic, i watched some videos and the watchtower's orgin has nothing to do with christianity but it trace's its source to demon worship and that's why they act so hateful against all members who speak out against their lie!

the twooth is what they believe!.

"I'm glad ISIS killed them. It's their only chance for life."

I have to shake my head because that kind of thinking used to make perfect sense to me. Now when I hear lines like that it makes me feel like I'm in a low budget movie.

How Do They Still Preach & Teach The "End" Is Right Around The Corner And Never Get Embarrassed?

by minimus in

from from the very beginning, the watchtower has been wrong about every prophecy regarding "the time of the end".

they still continue to spout false information.. go out and preach before it is too late!

lol!!!

I like how they nonchalantly slip it in as if it were an after-thought.

At a district convention the brother giving the closing talk mentioned that there had been some speculation but "the brothers (in Bethel) are, in fact, planning another convention next year."

That was in 2003.

What's "THE END" going to look like?

by Coded Logic in

okay, so its no secret that many of us are hoping to see the downfall of the wtbts (or at least a mass exodous of jws away from them anyway).

i was wondering if you had any thoughts on what this might look like?.

we all know that most every jw has their doubts, large and small, but is afraid to speak due to the illusion of unanimity and self censorship .

I always picture them getting caught in some financial scandal like Jim Bakker, caught so red-handed they have no choice but to confess. That should shake loose so many people there won't be anything with which to prop themselves up.

I would hate to think they just fizzle out. I'm hoping for severe public shame. Although... fizzling out to irrelevancy would be a pretty shameful way to die for an organization as haughty as the WT.

Like Button

by Coded Logic in

i read through the suggestion box and haven't seen anyone recomend this yet: is it possilbe to add a "like" button for posts and comments?

maybe something that keeps count of them like on youtube.

i think it would be a great tool to let people know we appreciate their comments.. i know we have the thumbs up icon we can paste in our comments but its hard to "like" someones elses comment when the thread is already 30 comments deep.. (feel free to thumbs up if this is a feature you'd like to see).
