shocker at the group last week..... i was at the group last week (1st in about 4 weeks) and the conductor (the p.o.
) takes a sister aside and tells her that she was not allowed to breastfeed her baby before or after the book study because "someone" found it awkward.. hmm, i wonder if it was him that found it awkward.. anyway the twist in the story is that the group meets at her house.
the sisters husband was far from happy but is to reserved to do anything about it.
The only good thing about a necktie , is that when an idiot wears one, you can use it to drag him out of the house easier. No body tells me what to do in my own house, except my wife of course.
I have never heard the society discourage breast feeding. It sounds like some morons own opinion, and the best thing to do with opinions is keep them to yourself.

this afternoon i attended the ca, pioneer / pioneer / pioneer / pioneer, everything else you might need to do in life is not important.
focus on the new system, and making disciples !
and near the end of the session, the district overseer made a quick but noted comment.
The old testament jews had all kinds of festivals, there is nothing festive about assemblies. Yet the society tries to compare the two. The society really has to screw with the scriptures to come up with their meeting and assembly crap. Ask any jw to show you in the scriptures this time of meeting schedule and they come up with "do not forsake the gathering of yourselves together", but if "where two or more of you are gathered together I will be with you" does not count.
The tora is the real bible for the jews and the watchtower is the real bible for the jws. Both are just a continuation of man made rules. The bible is only used when it is convenient.
i wonder if anyone here can help my friend.
i have no idea how to stop the witnesses from knocking at her door.
she has ms and its difficult for her to stand at the door.
I always wondered why people just don't have a nice little sign made that says 'jehovahs witnesses stay the hell away from here'. Even the dumbest of jws should understand that.
Some of the laziest I have seen were the so called spiritualy strong. Some of the hardest working were the spiritualy weak. Years ago I quit volunteering to work on the hall because there were always too many chiefs and not enough indians ( me being one of the indians) and of course all of the chiefs being elders, ministerial servants, and their families . If it were not for all the so called weak jws I don't know how anything would ever get done.
A very good friend of mine (disfellowshipped) and who I kept seeing for years ( society kiss my behind), is a large man, works like a dog , strong as a grizzly bear , can outwork 5 good men, and intelligent but rough around the edges, was made fun of because it was so god awful hot he took his shirt off. (he had being swinging a pick) The good jws stood around snickering like idiots . After that they had neither me or him again to treat like crap.
I have lots of these stories, but every time I start talking about them it just upsets me that I ever put up with that crap. So I only come up with one every once in while.
for quite some time i have been tossing around the idea that there has to be a question out there, a question that can cut straight to the heart of what it means to question the watchtower.
last night while doing some mindless tasks i think that question may have come to me.
the question is: .
That is a question I have thought about alot. The truth is that they cannot . To really screw with their minds, find a perpetual calendar from the internet and ask them to correlate the events from the revelation book to the dates on the calendar . I have done this and nothing in the book comes close. That is the number of days mentioned in daniel, 1260, 2300 etc. I'm just taking these from the top of my head, I would look it up but I can't seem to find the revelation book. But the point is that the whole thing was made up by rutherford and being the idiot he was he didn't go to the work of checking the dates but just the years. Others on the net have done this also.
how can they clam to have the holy spirit?.
the jc that df'ed my brother one of the elders was screwing a married sister!.
i know of at least 2 cases of that.. one guy was po for many years turns out he had been screwing his own daughter since she was little.. .
I have seen many elders and misterial servants come and go. Many quit and many disfellowshipped. I am related to many of them that are no longer around. I always knew they were not saints and felt they had no buisness judging anyone, and that is what elders do, I don't know how anyone can call it anything else. I have never been impressed by any elder or ministerial servant. Most of them that I have ever known had enough trouble taking care of their own buisness without trying to take care of anyone else. I have told many of them just that.
I have always been leary of people who are free with their advise. Especially from people who have the audacity to think their advice is worth anything. I find that most people who give advice have enough problems of their own without trying to take care of yours.
I have no problem with people giving thier opion if someone ask for it . If I do want someones opinion I will ask them.
the un is on the verge of banning religion.. why is this rumor constantly being brought up by the jws?.
the un does not have the power to ban religion, such an act would go against its very charter and its declaration of human rights.. many of the member nations are islamic and would never vote to ban religion as it would undermine their own very existence.. so the idea that the un would or could ban or even consider banning religion is unrealistic.
never going to happen.. but the jws have been whispering that "the un is going to ban religion" for decades....why?
If the un or any other organization decides they will do away with religion had better pack a lunch!
you know, i knew a lot of bethelites and every one of them loved their booze.
as an elder, i would entertain alot of the cos, dos and bethelites and their wives.
it was not unusual for the wives to get loaded while they were at my house!
If they put a ban on booze, at least 2/3 of the jws would be gone.
if there is a god, do you think that the majority of jw's will be saved at armageddon?.
i'm not asking if they have the only true religion, i'm asking if you think they would be saved along with others who do god's will sufficiently to satisfy him.....
The bible says the wicked will be destroyed. The question is, what is the bibles definition of wicked. Is ignorance , sin and disobediense considered wicked?
just a few interesting things i've noticed in exodus, not to mention all the way through the bible, but now just these few.
in exodus 25:40 mentions making after their pattern, which was showed thee in the mount.
was moses shown pictures which we are not privy to.

In chap 26 , the curtains for the tabernacle were huge. I always wondered how they resited the winds.
Chap 28:35 wearing bells to be heard so he would not die. I wondered was that to alert someone.
My mind works weird I guess , I must think about it too much. Anybody else have any of these odd scriptures.
