we had an elderly pioneer/ms in our hall and he used to like to rattle the elders.
he liked using the "n" word in his comments.
he one time started to comment about the "ni##er pool" that he would observe among the poorer blacks.
LisaRose, it's crap ain't it??
How about all the killing in the Bible?? They don't seem to mind that. The illustration of the birds feasting on human remains after the big A, eyeballs and such. In Jeremiah when people were boiling their children because of hunger. BUT that's okay cos Jehoover said it.
Baloney!!!
Just going back to my "Call of Duty, Black Ops" now.
i'm starting to believe the bethel higher ups are trolling us.
the outright contradictions and stuff like overlapping generation is too ridiculous.
calling out the harold camping when we did the same thing.
bigmac, your'e a very naught cat. But I like you.
there are many threads on this forum about the stultifying tedium of the conventions.
memories of one convention merge with every other convention over the years with few sticking out as high points.. in recent years, there have been lots of anecdotal reports (primarily from western countries) of an astonishingly low number of baptismal candidates at these conventions, and in particular district conventions - especially compared to the higher numbers who presented for baptisms in earlier decades.
is this decline also reflected in general attendances at the conventions?.
I have'nt done a full 3 day DC since 2004. 2 day CA in 2005. Did 1 day of the DC in 2006. Then nothing.
I must be totally honest here, out of all the items presented at these pantomimes, only a handful ever stood out. This was due to the dull presentation/material. Too much of the same thing.
It was a relief to be in the Mother & Baby Room for a good old chinwag!!!!

Well then, that must also make them Apostate!!! Mentally diseased and obsessed. Join the club boys.
our third annual shun run will be held again at 10am at papago park, tempe, az on saturday, april 12th.
this is a low-key public event that all who wish to see an end to organizational-induced shunning can join in.
lecture room on floor 4 at 2:00pm.. as part of this event, i write a letter to sdb:ssy, the otherwise anonymous jw author who informed me about the df'ing announcement in my case.
I am with you in spirit.
Hope you have a bumper turnout.
Wish I could attend.
Xx
why do the jw's insist that jesus was crucified on a stake??
the practice by the romans back in that time was to use a cross.
i've even heard of some witnesses say it was due to "lack of wood.
Bobcat, call me stupid but I read Acts 19:19 and I can't see the connection. The Cross is the symbol of Christianity isn't it?
Anyways, I always used to wear one before being a dub and now I'm out, I gotta a new one. All shiny with little red stones in it. So there WatchTards!!!

why does the watchtower place a harsh burden on it's low-paid and low-skilled army of witnesses?
the district conventions don't really add much value, you have witnesses making minimum wage with both husband and wife working while the elite witnesses can afford to burn a ton of cash making the poor witnesses feel worse about themselves.
i remember, some of the really poor witnesses would bring their own "cooker" to the motel to make "top ramen" and mac&cheese" while the company men had the elites take them out for "surf and turf" and other great feasts, the poor witnesses get the shaft was they are told how lucky they are to financially struggle to afford to pay for their hotels.. .
Food was the major problem. It's expensive to eat out and you can't make sandwiches if you're staying in a guest house.
Last year's DC (which I didn't attend) was a silly price for the coach. The train was cheaper!
you know you have been out of the organization for some time when no members of the present governing body were "ruling" during your sojurn.
i have tried to keep up with who is a member and learn a bit about each one.. of the current crop, i find anthony morris iii to be the most grating and irritating to listen to.
who do you find the most annoying?
They all look like fat cat bosses. Not a God fearing man among them.
2. p. 363; emphasis added) .
(ibid., p. 362; emphasis added) .. to say jesus is mediator only for the 144,000 is actually to deny the possibility of forgiveness of sins for any others.
; emphasis added) .
The mandems is dissing Jesus, innit???
The NWT is getting so "modern", it will be soon in this translation for young Brits talking street talk!!!!
I love the fact in my new church, it's all about Jesus. That's what CHRISTIANITY means!!!! Not GBism!!!!
