  Future for conventions

  by joe134cd in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  evidently with the new light on the reduced time spent at circut assemblies.

  i put forward 3 theories for the future of assemblies.. (1) there will be a world wide fire sale of assembly halls, due to the 50% reduction of use.

  if this is the plan i reckon they will carry this out with in the next 5 years.

  Patterson New York JW Tourist Destination

  i saw a photo on facebook of a jw couple i know, apparently you can now get your photo taken with the stars of the jw animated children's videos, at patterson.

  i've tried to share it here but it isn't showing up.. basically, you stand in different cartoon scenes of the door to door activity, holding a bookbag and the hand of one of the children's characters from the viedo.

  the houses are pastel colored, the cartoon brothers are wearing brightly colored shirts and ties , no jackets.

  Unquestioning obedience

  by Phizzy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this has been demanded over the years by the wt.

  it used to be mildly subtle the way the words were couched.. then they came out with, what they have repeated recently, that it is necessary to obey, even if you cannot understand the reasons, cannot understand why you are being asked to do something.. as a born in i knew nothing of it being a cult, and was only aware of the mind control in a foggy sort of way, accepting it as their way of trying to keep control.. but when i saw those words about unquestioning obedience, my blood ran cold, it then hit me that something was wrong, badly wrong.. how did you react ?.

  2. current

  michael dunn pulled into a convenience store parking lot next to a suv full of teenagers who were playing loud music.

  he asked the teens to turn down the music, it is uncertain what words were exchanged at that point.

  michael dunn then shot 4 times into the driver's side of the suv.

  Resurrection Of The Earthly Class

  by sojourner7 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  can anyone tell me what the wt teaches about the resurrection of the earthly class?

  do they get completely different bodies or is it a resurrection of the present body?

  also, since most of scripture is written for the annointed class, and the annointed class are supposed to go to heaven in spirit bodies, how do they handle romans 8:11?.

  Growing a beard!!

  by ILoveTTATT in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am doing one of my dreams for a while: growing a beard.

  it may not seem like much, but it's quite the experience for me.

  it's probably a rite of passage from jw to exjw lol.. besides the itchyness, i hate it that it curls so much (i have hairs that naturally start to curl after a certain length).. anyone here have tips on taking care of a beard?

  What are the feelings/thoughts within 24-48 hours of exposure to an undeniably true (for you) TATT?

  by NeverKnew in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  many of us know where we were during 9/11 or when john kennedy and martin luther king were killed.. it seems that when faced with ttatt, real truth is dismissed as "ol' light" or "an imperfect group of men" but from what i gather, many of you, at some point, were hit with a component of ttatt that shattered all of those cliches that allowed you to brush off the obvious reality that something was very wrong.

  some of you may remember the hours following your earliest exposures to an undeniably true tatt.

  did you zone completely out?
