  here is one... my mil told me according to a co talk that she heard jehovah could strike you dead when he is executing judgement based on the clothing you are wearing.

  she was mad at the moment of skirts that were above the knee on me and her friend.. i said to her two things:.

  1) i hope i am not in the tub during this predicament.. 2) i thought jehovah read hearts?.

  Weird crazy rules imposed by your local Elders.

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  we all know the sort of thing..... in many congregations, specific "rules" creep in...introduced by the local elders that become set in stone.. years ago, i heard of a congregation that sat down during the first song of the evening but stood for all others (the co changed that very soon after).

  then there were the older accounts of congs that had rules to make the public speakers wear only white shirts.... in one cong now, i heard that brothers can only be used for sound or microphones if they do a minimum of 5 hours per month in the ministry!.

  another cong has ruled that all appointed men must pioneer for at least one month each year in order to remain qualified.. .

  1) public reproved people may not have friends nor be invited anywhere until they start answering again.

  2) dfd people MUST sit in the back ...although this may have changed since that recent article

  3) dfd people cannot hang out with other dfd people or they won't be reinstated. (Bad association scripture)

  4) no pooping in the pool

  my witnesses friends are excited as they sense emergence of a north king in putin.

  many witnesses feel that ukrain crisis will lead into a 3rd world war that will climax in armageddon, and people like me are lost forever!.

  Pixar the production company is jealous of Caleb and Sophia video's

  by life is to short in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so said the co last night.. apparently a jw was on a flight and just happend to sit next to some big wig from pixar and when the man from pixar heard that he was a jw the pixar man just gushed over what great work that the watchtower has done in producing the caleb video's.

  he siad he only wished pixar could do such great work.

  the co said we are able to do it because we have free labor and jehovah behind us.. my husband stayed home from the meeting but wanted to tie in by phone and that is what the co said in his talk.. the co also talked about all the changes that have happened in the last ten years and how if some of the friends did not like it they needed and to quote him "they just needed to get over it" these changes are going to happned period.
