  Examples of JW evasiveness/dishonesty

  by BONEZZ in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  being born and bred into the borg i always felt it was the "truth" but i wasn't the one who measured up i was not good enough to be a dub.

  but i also had nagging questions that went unanswered by the most learned elders...or at least not answered to my satisfaction.

  their "answers" were in fact not really answers but side-steps or attempts to mis-direct my question into an area they could answer.. an example...it always bothered me that we could not examine the contents of what opposers put out.

  *** Rbi8 Romans 6:7 ***

  7 For he who has died has been acquitted from [his] sin.

  My question to elders was this. I asked it several times, but never got an answer. Rather I was warned against calling Jehovah unrighteous:

  "In light of the above scripture, why was a ransom sacrifice even necessary? Adam and Eve sinned. Adam and Eve died and are therefore acquitted of their sin. How can you call Jehovah a "god of justice" when he punishes the entire human race for thousands of years just because Adam and Eve ate a lousy piece of fruit?"

  If you won the Lottery big time, would you be happier?

  by Rod P in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  how many of us imagine winning the big one, and all our problems in life would be solved.

  we could get whatever we wanted without worrying about money, could buy our way out of almost any situation (like the rich folks do), go on any vacation anywhere in the world, dress to the nines on a daily basis, and use our wealth to get others to do our bidding.. money = sex, power, influence, decadent luxury = happiness???.

  Money = Sex, Power, Influence, Decadent Luxury = Happiness???

  I'd be happy to win a lottery, but not for the above reasons. I'd just buy an average house, new truck, and a new bike. I'd probably get a hot tub too.

  I'd keep working to avoid becoming a total recluse.

  Did U ever wonder - if the end was so close - why were we building Kh's?

  by AK - Jeff in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i always wondered why we were not spending the money to build halls in remote and poor areas that needed them - but instead we would build new halls and sell old ones in places where we were seeing little growth.. every congregation in this area has built a new hall in the past 20 or so years.

  yet the congs are the same basic size they were before.

  most have had a least one major remodel since building new.

  Just this week they tore down the kingdom hall that's just a few blocks from me. Now there's just a big hole in the ground, and I was kind of getting my hopes up that it was gone for good. Now I found out they're building a new double hall there. I don't know why. There's never been any growth in this area.

  Must be nice to have money to waste.

  this was influenced by the toy thread, but what were some of the foods, drinks and candy that were banned by the jws (either in writing or hearsay)?.

  black forrest ham (coating is made from blood).

  red skittles (blood used to make the dye).

  One JW told me it was bad to use fertilizer in the garden, because some fertilizers contained blood products. You wouldn't want any of that to be absorbed into your tomatos, would you?

  One Bethelite who was an elder said that the most important building in our area was not the fire station, hospital, or police station. It was the kingdom hall, because it was the center of "true worship". He also said that they would be important in the "new system", and Bethels would be government buildings.

  I'm starting to feel nauseas.

  He'll probably buy you something similar to what most men buy for their significant others:

  1. Cordless power tools.
  2. New lawnmower.
  3. Golf clubs.
  4. Football helmet.
  5. sexy lingerie.
  6. single malt scotch.
  7. Cuban cigars.
  8. Subscription to Penthouse.

  Counsel by school overseer...

  by in a new york bethel minute in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  what was your worst point of counsel?

  i think for most men, it was gesturing to an audience while trying to make it look natural.

  i remember writing on my notes to gesture and to speak slowly... what was your hardest point of counsel to work on?.

  I spent 2 years on "sense stress and modulation" followed with 2 years of "enthusiasm, warmth, and feeling". Then it was back to "sense stress and modulation" for the next 2 years.

  At that point I quit the school.

  It's up to you to make the meeting interesting. If you're handling a mic, consider putting it in front of someone's mouth while they're singing.
