  Did you ever actually believe the JW fantasy version of "Paradise"?

  by Darth Fader The Sequel in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i am sure this topic has probably been discussed many times before but,......... i would like reassurance that i am not the only one who gagged every time i heard a jw pontificating on their fantasy version of what "paradise" will be like.

  particularly when it comes to the animals.

  more specifically, that the animals will all become vegetarians.

  Magnum .......rite on the button!

  I would say more power to them if I saw them riding wet bikes or mountain-biking or hiking or snow skiing or water skiing or taking classes and/or reading books to lift them out of their ignorant, naive, brainwashed state

  Name Some Things That JWs Look Down Upon That Normal People Wouldn't Even Think About?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  jws look down on others for saying, "bless you" if someone sneezes.

  it has something to do with the demons.

  another example is that it is considered satanic if a man took his hat off for a lady!

  Need a Game Plan

  by bafh in

  2. beliefs

  i'm not sure what is going on at the convention, but i just got a desperate call from a friend wanting me to attend sunday's morning session.

  last weekend, my mom invited me too.instead of saying something like, "i'm sorry, but i have no intention of going back," and having them completely freak out - i agreed to go to the sunday morning session.

  any recommendations?

  Bafh ... don't give up, some days are crappy!

  Try asking someone out for coffee, who you are not

  particularly interested in....other than they are a nice

  person. There will be little or no stress involved.

  You will make a casual friend & learn to relate &

  relax. Then when you do meet someone who turns

  your crank.....you will be used to the routine!

  You are important ...so treat yourself well.

  All the best to you.

  Something Beautiful to Contemplate when in a Time of Darkness

  in east and south asian thought, lotus flowers have a symbolic significance.

  the plant grows in mud, but produces a flower of great beauty.

  in a time of darkness, it can become a symbol of hope:.

  Prediction: The organization to ease up on disfellowshipping for apostasy.

  by kneehighmiah in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i believe the organization is already easing up on disfellowshipping people for apostasy.

  they know most doubters just want to be left alone.

  disfellowshipping them turns them into martyrs.

  I know 2 of the Elders on the Ray Franz JC

  by James Jackson in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  when i read coc, i was stunned that the 2 elders (theotis french & rob dibble) were on ray franz judcial committee.

  i have known these men for over 20 years having done rbc and convention work with them.

  they are still elders today which means they were in their early 30's(which is unheard of for a case of this importance to have inexperienced elders to sit on) on this committee.. without revealing myself, i have never tried(but have wanted to), ask them about their on having to judge a former gb member.. then out of the blue, about a year ago, i was mentioning how hard it is trying to get younger ones to volunteer to one of these elders, and he says"this is nothing compared to to sitting on the committee that had to disfellowship ray franz".

  James .....with all due respect............but,

  *

  "Unless you have been in my situation, it is hard to explain the mindset of a former longtime Elder(21 years), Regular Pioneer (14 years), one was at the top of his game, handling many responsibities on the Circuit and District level, serving on over 50 Judicial cases, including Appeal Committees, various Elder Schools (including Teaching parts in these schools), and even spending a week at Patterson for the COBE Kingdom Ministry School"

  *

  ...speaking as a woman (read no credibility) who

  wasted 50 yrs doing just the dirty work for watchtower,

  I would think that with all your experience & prestige,

  that you would be so rightiously indignant that you

  would USE your huge weight of (wt) power & know-how

  to effectively bring down this house of lies!

  .

  If not the likes you ......WHO?

  Having said that ......thanks for sharing.

  How to Wear a Pinkie Ring, by Stephen Lett, Governing Body Member

  by Oubliette in

  1. social
  2. humour

  always the fashionista amongst the governing body members, mr. stephen lett recently showed us how even an older man can display a certain swagger, a certain je nesais quoi that says, "i'm one of the anointed, and you're not!".

  he does this in so many ways, but the one i want to draw our attention to is the way he rocked the theocratic fashion world with his wearing of a very manly pinkie ring in a recent wtbts video.. - -.

  stephen lett of the governing body of jehovah's witnesses demonstrating how to wear a pinkie ring.
