How does a JW know if they are one of the annointed?

by carcroft congregation in

first time i have ever posted a message so my apologies if i am not as succinct in my use of language as some of the other contributors appear to be.

my cousin, who was in his late 20's at the time, announced that he was one of the 144,000 in the mid eighties.

his poor mother, who was scitzophrenic, was hospitalised as the shock sent her into an attack.

as George Gangas used to say I don't need a television I see visions in my head.

Memorable Field Service Moments

by Loris in

for the most part field service is a dull event-less drudgery.

but there are those rare times that something happens that makes it almost worth the effort.. while living in the state of washington i was privileged to meet a rare sister.

she was funny and a bit off the wall.

SadElder

Then I moved to Florida to the city where the Brothers wear their collars too tight and Field Service has all the joy of cleaning toilets.

guess all those bros in Fl are constipated too!

.....your boyfriend proposed to you while on vacation?.

the reason i ask this is because a couple i know was away in the tropics, and he popped the question.

and yet, since they've been back (over 8 months) they've been mum on all things wedding.

.....Your boyfriend proposed to you while on vacation?

Your Online Persona

by Xena in

i saw a thread recently that asked if you were different from your online persona, most people answered to varying degrees "no".

that made me wonder though how do you view yourself and how do other people view you?

what kind of a person do you feel you project?

i was working out in service on saturday with randy, my book study conductor.

he was a tall man who was very well built, similar to arnold schwarzneggar.

i am 6 ft tall and he is about 6 ft 6 in.

SadElder

I'll go out with you all from now on. Course we stop for breakfast immediately after the meeting for service. We can go to one of your doors and then go for the donuts. Sounds like fun

but i was just wondering what my son can expect from a mm concert.

i shudder to think.. cheers, bliss.

Sorry but Marylin Manson steps beyond my own sensibilities. Absolutely not interested. Sorry.

Why doesn't the WTS website have a discussion forum?

by Holey_Cheeses*King_of_the juice. in

since the jws main mission in their miserable lives is to 'preach the good news of the kingdom', why is is that there is really no means to interact with the wts website?.

certainly, many pioneers could be engaged in the activity of answering the many enquiries that would be directed through such an 'official' discussion board, and it would definitely be a means for the pioneers of accumulating many precious hours of witnessing to those 'hungering for the truth'.. surely the society couldn't believe that such a site would be inundated with doubting and disgruntled individuals with an 'axe to grind' with them.

i am sure that there would be many members here who would have many sincere enquiries to make with the society, without wanting to disrupt, or harass.

SadElder

OMG can you imagine all the work the Bethel CIA (AKA Service Department) would have trying to write letters to the elders in all those congrgations telling them to go investigate writer so-and-so. The old boys couldn't stand the heat.

there's been too much volatile stuff going around, and a few folks appear tetchy.. can we drop any issues, and just enjoy a ((((group hug)))) for a moment.... ((((hugs to everyone)))).

love you guys.

coz regardless of the ups and downs, this place is a little like the family i lost.... sometimes i need to take a step back, have a break and some quiet time, but that's ok, too.. every blessing to everyone,.

SadElder

The Bethel CIA (AKA Service Dept.) has ruled that their can be no:

Smooching

Hugging

Bum Pinching

and especially no wanking

lest they be forced to send in investigators to determine what all the fun is about.

The analogy thus becomes - is a happy dub is a stupid dub.
