  2014 Annual Meeting not being streamed worldwide?

  by Richard_I in

  2. friends

  i haven't heard a peep about the 2014 annual meeting being shown worldwide (or at least across north america) like it was last year.

  they made a big deal with the am last year, congs had to get the projectors and screens for the showing, and we were told in advance of the time and location to attend.

  but i have heard absolutely nothing this year, at least here in canada.

  Children being baptised - Aid book v Insight book

  by berrygerry in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  a pet peeve (major) is that of the gb pressuring kids to be baptized.. checking the aid book today and the following under baptism, no infant baptism.. virtually word for word between the books, except for the deletion of this paragraph:.

  "regarding the practice of infant baptism, the encyclopedia britannica, vol.

  iii, ed.

  a particularly fat and ugly woman walks into a pet store to buy her pit bull some dog food.

  she passes a huge parrot on an open stand as she walks down the dog food isle.

  as she is looking through the dog food brands she hears a pssssst......then another psssst... behind her.

  I don't remember the contexts, but an elder in his part on the SM, said something about talking to a person on the steps of a church. And after whoever walked away, he stood there for a moment, and said quitely, "God Damm! This Place!"

  A water cooler elder (real butt head) giving the local needs part about associating with DFed people. Said, "These are Wicked, Vile, Evil people, why would you even want to be near them, much less talk to them!) All said with, all the HATE, and DISCUST, he could muster! I would not spit on him, if he was on fire!

  What will the next "witness" fad illness be??

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  as we know, it seems that many witnesses "suffer" from "illnesses" at times.. now , before anyone scolds me for being insensitive or unfeeling, i am not mocking those who really suffer from illnesses of any sort.

  i am having a go at those that jump on the bandwagon of the popular illness, which actually makes real sufferers feel jaded.. i am referring to the way that many witnesses who are actually damaged as a result of the constant "fear.obsession.guilt" of jw propaganda, often seem to "contract the current illness going around", or blame it on that instead of looking at the real cause.. im sure it is a subconcious result of the burdensome pressure of jw life that brings it on.

  instead of seeing the draining effect on their lives as being the result of witness life, they will latch on to the next illness going around.. so, what is the latest going to be?.

  It's just like, today if you have served as an elder or ms in another congration, and stopped serving in that one, before you can be reapointed in a diffrent one, the new one has to contact the last one you served in, to get the poop on the scoop! I have been in. I have been in 5 differnt once sine asking to be deleted some time back!!

  If it's what you really want, I hope you the best luck!!!
