  Crazy Study Stories

  by dubstepped in

  2. experiences

  i never really had any studies to speak of, but my parents did have many over the years, and every single one of them was batsh!t crazy in some way.

  there was one lady we kids affectionately termed "dirty robin" (her name was robin) and yes, she was very dirty.

  her kids were filthy and rarely wore clothes.

  I had one study who became a witness. He had intense OCD causing panic attacks. I would get calls at 1 am where he was having a panic attack. He worked in a fast food place and was convinced he got a drop of blood in someone's food from a scratch or small cut and was freaked Jehober would destroy him at the big "A". I had to talk him down. It was exhausting. Eventually he pio-nerd for awhile. (Just like his teacher, lol) He faded the whole Witness thing. Nice guy but really effected.

  I didn't have a lot of tolerance for crazies. Always passed them on to others more "empathetic", actually "desperate" for a study. I knew they wouldn't last long and would take gallons of gas to hunt down. Wasn't worth it.

  What makes WT think they can reassign Bethel volunteers to be Regular Pioneers.

  by Zoos in

  when the gb cuts loose 1600 volunteers, what makes them think they can continue telling them how they will spend their time?

  i've read on many of these threads that the 1600 will be reassigned.

  what, are they still under some sort of contract?.

  Since they are going to a buffet style service and self laundry its a bad time to be a waiter or laundry worker. On the other hand, cooks should do just fine. They will be sending waiters out to where the need is great, Dennys!

  All must be ready to obey...

  by Half banana in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in view of the recent financial pressures being spun as opportunities to hasten armageddon, i think we should look again at the meaning behind their cultic warning of "all must be ready to obey intructions, whether appearing sound or not".

  by dripping these creepy injunctions into the watchtower study and therefore into the conditioned and receptive mind of the jw, how long will it be before they are able to decree something like this?......

  yesterday there was a horrific crash on a bridge here in seattle.

  a dukw (wwii amphibious truck) tourist cruise lost control and hit a charter bus full of exchange students head on.

  four dead and about a dozen seriously wounded, many more in less critical condition.yesterday, canlis restaurant, located near the scene and one of the most exclusive eateries in seattle, closed for the first time in its 65 year history and sent out its staff with food for the first responders.

  i just read an email from a friend, and she shared some very interesting emails from her friends about information on changes now happening at the bethels around the world.

  here is the email: .

  ---------------------------------thanks sally, jesus is directing the org and all decisions and instructions to us may not seem practical from now on, neither will we understand the reasonings behind many of the changes that the organization makes.

  Not everyone may have believed the info that the shutdown was upon them. Might be in denial. Or one operator thought it was still hush hush. Could be one was rouge and pissed about it or still in shock, Who knows? Too much evidence that construction is at a halt.

  "Our Christian Life and Ministry Meeting" Lead to Class Distinctions Between Rich and Poor Congregations?

  by Wasanelder Once in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the instructions for the new meeting entitled "our christian life and ministry meeting" indicate an interactive portion that takes little preparation and a great deal of media involved components, demonstrations and instruction.

  i am sure not all congregations are setup for all the video feeds, especially in developing nations.

  will this divide cause jealousy and strife within congregations and branches as the lag continues?.

  The dumbing down has met epic proportions. A coloring book for adults? Glad I missed it. How do you see the effect of all this hype? Is it only entertainment to keep them coming?

  Here are more instructions from the recently released Oct. 4 BOE:
  

  Our KM is being replaced by a new four-color, eight-page monthly publication entitled Our Christian Life and Ministry—Meeting Workbook (mwb).

  Each Life and Ministry Meeting will begin with an opening song and prayer followed by comments from the Life and Ministry Meeting chairman. ... When the scheduled weekly Bible reading begins a new Bible book, a brief video introducing the book will be shown at the start of this part.

  Latest rumor - all WT construction "suspended", except for Warwick

  by sir82 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  heard 4th-hand, but from a full-on believer, so not likely to be an "apostate lie":.

  apparently, at bethel's morning worship this morning, it was announced that all worldwide wts construction is "suspended" for an indefinite time, except for the new world headquarters at warwick.. also, the "relocation" of remote translating teams is also suspended.. finally, there will be a "worldwide" reduction in bethel personnel.. all this came to me in a non-english language, and,as noted, 4th-hand.

  so it is possible something may have been lost in translation and/or in the multiple steps between bethel morning worship & me.. but if true, it would be quite stunning.

  I think they can smell the blood in the water in Australia. They have to keep their war chest strong to fight the shit storm coming. They are very crafty. Can't wait to see the Aussie courts decimate them.
