These people don't care anything about Jesus or even Jehover
Exactly. Just listen to their everyday conversation. They talk about the organization more than they talk about god.

i never got a real answer about this when i was a jw.
the only explanation that i ever got was that jesus said to "do this in remembrance of me" meaning the taking in of the wine and unleavened bread.
he never said "not" to observe his birth or his resurrection.

I found a job opportunity worse than that one.... masturbating pigs.
It could be quite lucrative if you take pics and set up a 'pig porn' web site. Walter
what would you have done back in the 1st century when jesus came on the earthly stage and started christianity.
would you have became his follower?
that is not the only congregation that had people problems.
I realized this last Sunday, when I meet up with Beans at a coffee shop and we spent a wonderful 90 minutes together.
Coffee shops are ok if you want to disrupt JW field service? breaks on Saturday mornings. But in order to fully receive the benefit of Holy Spirits you need to go to a bar.

(dear ones, because the spirit of my lord has directed me to remind his belongings of the season, i initially started to restate this message entirely; however, after reading it, i believe i can simply repost it as is, as it is as true, accurate and thorough now as it was before.
i beg your patience, concession, and simon's kind consideration.
to those who would find fault, i humbly ask you to re-read the subject line and note to whom this message is addressed, and ask that, if possible, perhaps you can find it in your heart to reserve your chagrin, if any.

i've been vegitarian for about two months now.

1) i'm tired of food that is made up of small particulates (i.e.
Well I knew this girl and she said she eats nothing with a face.
Me too. I usually cut the face off before cooking.

It is repugnant to sustain life at the expense of another.
Does that mean I have to stop eating my veggies? I feel bad for all those poor carrots, beans, and potatos.

too bad it wasn't jesus talking and it's rather vague on what 'assembling' is...
I'm sure he meant meeting up at the neighborhood sports bar or Chinese buffet.

They still Worshipped Jehovah how he outlined it to them.
Too bad the watchtower doesn't do the same. Instead they teach "commands of men as doctrines".
To name a few:
No beards. Monthly field service reports. Unscriptural positions such as "pioneer". Secret kangaroo courts judicial committees. Persecution of brothers? who, out of necessity, go back to school. No 2 door cars. Coverup of child abuse. Sanitizing their history. False prophecies. NGO membership with the UN.
Actually, by leaving the watchtower I was being obedient to theocratic direction?. My last meeting was the "special talk" in Apr. 2003. The PO gave the talk, and in it stated that true christians should get out of any religion that has political involvement because such a religion is part of "babylon the great". With its UN involvement, the watchtower definitely met that criteria.

what you fail to realize that being APART of the Congregation was a requirement by God as part of our worship to him.
God requires me to be part of an organization that protects child rapists? If that's true, then I deem him unworthy of worship.
