  Said from the platform: "You are not surviving Armaggedon if you are spiritually weak"

  by Daniel1555 in

  today i was at the meeting (i go there about once a month now).

  in the service meeting they had a part where they interviewed the secretary of the congregation.. so one question was: "why are the service reports so important?".

  our secretary explained that the reports are important, because the elders can see, who is spiritually weak.

  If the congregation lives in that much anxiety, no wonder there is so much psychosis and pill popping by JWs.

  Today's "gay-bashing" and other embarrassing content public talk!

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower

  oh wow..... the public talk today is certainly embarrassing for witnesses!.

  started (completely left field too...seemed to come out of nowhere) with condemning homosexuality, and anyone who even tolerates it.

  if you like tv shows or movies with gay characters, you are "just as bad" (eg modern family tv show).

  If it was so wrong, why didn't Jesus condemn it?

  I guess the old saying goes, "If you can't beat (the Internet), join it." Remembering the articles on the dangers of the Internet just a few years ago, with a picture of a computer cord that looked like a serpent.

  Discovery of a Commoner's Burial ground at Ancient Amarna

  by fulltimestudent in

  1. social
  2. current

  a burial ground for the builders who worked on the construction of ancient armana, also known as akhetaten, the new city founded by akhenaten ( who may have been the world's first historically demonstrated monotheist) has been found.

  its significant (imo) because it just may add to our knowledge of akhenaten, who deserves more recognition for his attempt to change the religious culture of ancient egypt, and even in failure, may still have provided the spark that led to modern christianity.. .

  this report is from the july 17, 2014 issue of popular archeology:.

  by tidalblitz in

  the other night, i was told about a question that a friend's bible study had asked them.

  the bible study asked: "if jesus is perfect, why does he need the 144,000 to help him rule?

  " this friend does not know how to answer this question.

  JW.org shows that the society doesn't really want to talk to people who aren't witnesses

  by Skinnedsheep in

  2. friends

  i find it fascinating to see how quickly the society has about faced on the use of the internet.

  interestingly they still have not adopted two way communication channels such as facebook, twitter, instagram.

  etc.. if you are lurking....why do you think that is?

  Say what? There's alot of communication in the Witness world.

  Follower writes a letter to the Borg, Borg writes back. Borg doesn't answer follower, but gives a response. And, they even cc: Local Congregation so the elders know the follower's question and the Society's answer! Then, the elders stalk the follower. Either the follower complies with WTS doctrince, or is ousted. Then, the WTS does some more communication with the local congregation, with a code of "no longer a Witness." Then, all communication stops.
