  SAD HOLY SPIRIT ILLUSTRATION

  by GreenhornChristian in

  just got an email from elder sharing illustration from assembly.

  the holy spirit does not seem to be in control as it supposedly was in the 1st century.

  it's just lube now.

  Holy spirit doesn't fap us... it's the Vaseline that makes fapping easier.

  Okay, I got it.

  Come with me, back to the 1980s--you know want to.

  i don't know about ya'll, but i did not appreciate the 1980s enough.

  i was too busy lamenting how different they were from the 1960s and 1970s to bask in and appreciate how wonderful they were.. this is 80s music, especially new wave music, and 80s fashion and culture appreciation thread.

  what did you love about the 80s?

  80's were awesome. Graduated high school in 85. Not even the borg could ruin it for me. They may have screwed up my chances for higher education but that didn't prevent me from enjoying the hell out of high school.

  I once received a Theo. School, #4 talk assignment on avoiding extra-curricular activities at school. I handed it back to the elder and told him I couldn't do it. I was in three extra-curricular activities and had no intention of backing out OR giving the talk.

  But I digress...

  Disgusting!!

  so, about a decade ago there was a big scandal in my city concerning an young elder raping his 13 year old sister in law.

  the elder got reproved but was never turn over to the police.

  the girl's mom was an immigrant and very uneducated and decided it was best to forgive after the elders, whom one was the young elders dad, instructed her to remain silent and rely on jehovah.

  my first post! (long read sorry in advance)

  long time lurker, first time poster here finally looking to get some things off my chest.

  i've always been a very curious person with tons of questions about everything, and i also care deeply particularly about societal issues like social injustice, racism, and homophobia.

  that, coupled with how boneheaded all the elders in my congregation are (except for one), led me to ask even more questions that led me to find ttatt.. .

  we have essentially the same message the Westboro Baptist church has. The only difference is they say it to your face BEFORE they recruit you. We slip it in AFTER...

  Nice comparison. At least old Fred and company had the decency to let you know what you were getting into up front.

  Enjoyed every word of your post.

  Welcome!

  The GB is sharing the windfall. All properties belong to the King and his kingdom. As executors of that kingdom, the $1 billion from the sale of Brooklyn properties will go to all Christ's brothers, his fellow slaves... which are represented by the faithful & discreet slave.

  Isn't the governing body in the process of building themselves a new house as we speak?

  Watchtower Dec 2014 page 4

  by Mr Fool in

  2. bible

  wt dec-2014 page4: "a bulgarian woman named irana rigthly observed, -it is not posspible to be close to god if you don t know his name.

  ".

  if so many know his name, why this debate "jehovah vs yahweh" then?.

  How does knowing an entity's name make a relationship possible where no two-way communication exists?

  " Do not ask permission, just play the video--" service meeting instructions.

  by prologos in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this statement startled me out of the pleasant mental absence during this week's "service" meeting.. pushing the org.

  explanation: "the listener has time to interrupt, if they want--" .

  together with an incredible boring "study" of an hand held device, or it's stored content, i will be a totally new crop of orgies at the halls,.

  would it be impolite, daring to reach over and press the off button?, when a jw has intruded into your private space?

  Great idea. LOL You can push any button you want. It's YOUR front stoop.

  Let me get this straight... the J-Dub is supposed to just stand there holding an iPad while a video plays. No talking, no human interaction, just... stand there shuffling his feet while the video plays, maybe occasional eye contact, a raised eyebrow, nods, "Eh? Eh?"... More nods...

  I would feel incredibly awkward doing that. I think I would rather stumble through a hideously ill-prepared VERBAL presentation.
