So...the cease and desist thing....do they honor only the requests submitted on their approved form or do they also honor Joe Schmoe's handwritten letter saying stay away that he sends to the local cong?
And...dumb dumb dumb....in order to get into a prison to visit I thought they ensured visitors were clean of paraphernalia of a questionable sort....or is it that dopey dubs have gotten on a watch list for having contraband on them when they came apreaching?
what unique to jws phrases do you remember?
something fun for those of us taught to speak an entirely unique and pure language.
there have been posts in the past in this forum but perhaps some have new ones after having kept up with jehovah's chariot as the light gets brighter.
Is he/she/are they "falling out of the truth"??? Fallout. Odd....(smart thing to do)

One especially vile female loved to tout her "Bible-trained conscience". This is what motivated her to do Saturday evening drive-bys to see who was at whose house socializing. And subsequently endeavor to get her gutless elder husband to get his cronies together to launch investigations as to happenings and especially beverage consumption on those occasions.
And the "Bible-trained conscience" is closely related to the "cause for stumbling". The stronger the impelling of that conscience the greater the liklihood of "stumbling" evidently.
i saw this mentioned on reddit but no link - i found the article form this weeks bible study..... in the “congregation bible study” part of the meeting this week there was a part that said and i quote: “only jehovah god and his son can receive someone into the heavenly kingdom or the paradise on earth under that kingdom.
we should diligently cultivate friendship with them by using what material riches we have in supporting kingdom interests”.
.
But really...isn't it in Isaiah that all the gold and all the silver belongs to God? So why would he want or need human $$ which is basically a means of exchange? And why is it that it is said God is a spirit and you must worship in spirit and truth? No mention of your bank account. Further...what about the worlds destitute population? They must really be doomed. If it takes $$$ those promoted to paradise will have to be exclusively from the well-heeled .....

Stan....behoove....hahahaha!!! That is awesome!
in my experience, there were three types of witnesses.
some were barely witnesses while others were extremely conservative types who followed the letter of the law.
and then you had those in the middle who just went with the flow.. i knew many witnesses who “felt safe” being in a stricter environment.they were actually proud that they belonged to such and such congregation because it was filled with strict bethelites..
I grew up in a congregation where my father was a servant, overseer, then elder when they adopted that title....he and a fellow elder prided themselves in their terms on "running a tight ship"....The next cong over had a reputation for being loose. How many times I heard it said "I'd be out of the truth if I were in that congregation".
I eventually landed in that cong and the atmosphere was much happier and friendlier....there was actually a good camarderie....unlike the cong populated mainly by mentally deficient gossips....
I love cats!!! He is fabulous!!! Thanks for sharing!😁🐺
it's seems that even the revised edition of the book revelation: it's grand climax a hand was wrong again.. in the 2019 agm david splane "clarified our understanding of the prophecy recorded in joel 2".
clarified?
you mean he done a 180 reversal.. from revelation: it's grand climax a hand page 143, para.
You gotta admit...those revelation explanations applied to a handful of obscure religionists from the WW1 era were pretty bizarre..... Back in the day I never could wrap my head around some of those applications presented in that wild revelation book....
from the official agm report: are you completely sober?.
brother geoffrey jackson made practical application of texts in the christian greek scriptures that use a term that literally means “sober.” he also stressed the importance of continuing to ‘keep our senses completely’ (literally “being sober perfectly”) during these last days.—1 peter 1:13.. .
.
That guy looks so nuts.....just looking at him I can't imagine taking him seriously.
I came from a cong that had a lot of (recovered) alcoholics and they were ridiculous about those who drank....some including a particularly obnoxious elder would go around sniffing breath and accusing their targets with the I smell ALKahall... Some wouldn't accept an invitation into the home of those who were normal about booze because they might see a wine rack or something. It was beyond ridiculous. So...any talk with the word sober I am sure will kick off some fanatics in the group.....whatever...
from the november 2019 watchtower study edition.. how many of you would like to know what the brothers and sisters would respond to this question.
also, if you went into a hall how would you like to respond to the question.. 8. how should we respond to lies?.
8 satan, “the father of the lie,” uses those under his control to spread lies about jehovah and about our brothers and sisters.
Funny how all those pedophile cases have ended up in courts of law ....being nothing but lies and fallacies. The judicial system must really be off...awarding settlements to alleged victims. And that whole Australian inquiry and all the testimony...wow. That was all untrue? Perhaps it never even happened!!!
None so blind as he who will not see.....
