I do not miss anything about the conventions

by Darth Fader The Sequel in

this weekend nearly everyone i have ever known or that i am related to is sitting in a convention.

i miss none of it!!!!.

i do not miss:.

SuperBoy

I don't miss parents scrimping and saving for accommodation, food etc.

I do miss the 'cocoon' of not having to worry about anything else, ever, cos god will sort it out the day after tomorrow.
Also miss the boozing that used to go on in pubs afterwards (I used to be so judgemental towards those people!)

JW.ORG Business Cards?

by toweragent in

did anybody else get an announcement at their meeting about the branch approved jw.org business cards?.

apparantly, they're real slick and fit into your wallet (making it easier to informal witness).

the logic was, some people don't want to be handed a big tract and would prefer something smaller.. so strange considering how little there is to those tracts!

SuperBoy

There's also Moo cards from Flickr. You can have a nice picture of the paradise earth on one side and JW.org on the other.
If you leave one at the same table at Starbucks every week you can count it as a return visit.

My Book of Bible Stories- Sex and Violence

by HowTheBibleWasCreated in

on a previous post on the bible's sex-violence several mentioned children and the yellow book (1978 version).

i will compile a list here.. one only needs to go to story 6 to find a man smashing his brothers skull in and picture of his brother's blood on the ground.

the very next story 7 has pictures of violence, clut worship, drunkeness, (unimplied sex).. the next story 8 shows a giant beating a person the death while holding them with one hand.

Reminds me of this...

You could argue the same about children's fairy tales.

A fox being boiled alive in water
A little girl being menaced by a woof who eats her grandmother
A witch who tempts children into her candy house

etc. etc.

Oh yeah, but they are fairy tales!

Something Big is Coming...

by notsurewheretogo in

the annual meeting of the governing body of jehovah's witnesses will be in october 2014.. .. in november 2013, just after the last one they published this now famous statement in the 15th of november 2013 watchtower page 16 paragraph 17 says:.

"at that time, the lifesaving direction that we receive from jehovahs organization may not appear practical from a human standpoint.

all of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not.".

I think the loans were cancelled following the credit crunch, as the Societry would be classed as a financial services provider.

Something big is coming?

This photo woke me up

by krejames in

.

i was already on my way to my second fade when i went to the wildlife photographer of the year 2012 exhibition, but this photo made me lose faith in the idea of a loving creator......(the gazelle has been injured by the mother cheetah so she can use it to train her cubs to hunt).

What is the "new" date JWs are "hinting" at for Armaggeddon?

by booker-t in

jw
friends

after the 1975 "we did not say point blank armaggeddon was coming we only suggested it might come" fiasco what is the new date jws are "hinting" at for armaggeddon?

i know now they do not point to any specific date but hint that maybe it might occur such as before 2000 the preaching work will be finished.

this is a suggestion not a prediction so they can wiggle out of this one.

SuperBoy

Ah but does not Hezekiah 6:66 say

"As of they day and the hour, no one knows, but it will be a date that forms a nice pattern."

Shunning Makes us Joyful - Another Blast on Jehovah's Trumpet

by cofty in

like all the best comedy this is hilarious and agonising in equal measure.. if you have not bookmarked the jehovah's trumpet blog do it now.. shunning makes us joyful .... "fiends, we are the happiest people on earth because of true worship, and this includes the practice of shunning our closest loved ones...".

SuperBoy

I love the number of comments from people who don't quite get that it's satire!
