i've never thought about it before, but isn't it some sort of blasphemy and extremism to use a god's name in the official name of your religion?.
g..
Overrated: How about the supper righteous where everytime they speak, every other word is Jehovber. If someone keeps saying my name I would think they are some sort of retard.
Amen to what you say Overrated! Most of our servant body when opening or closing a meeting with prayer will say 'Jehovah' anywhere from 5 to up to 15 times. On average they have a need to say that name at least once in every sentence of their prayer. It almost comes across as a mantra or chant!
i was wondering two things, 1: how long in total are the zoom meetings, i presume the sunday one is the longest ?.
and 2: if you use zoom for free, the session only lasts 40 minutes, so do they have an intermission so people can log back in, or are all jw's expected to pay for the "privilege" ?.
Zoom meetings...how much longer can you stomach them for? :-) :-)
This cult would be in utter chaos if it wasn't for 'Satan's' world of modern technology.
sorry for the posting error below.. my wife is reading crisis of conscience now.
this is good news because i know i will have someone to talk to when im caught and dfd.
but in her reading she is recognizing most of the names ( we were there at bethel during the 70s as a married couple) and asked what happened to reinhard lengtat?
I have been told that Lengtat has one foot in the Watchtower and one foot out.
Reinhard Lengtat reminds me alot of another exJW who had close ties with WT whose name recently popped up...Rolf Furuli...who refers to this cult as his 'Beloved Religion'!.
dear brothers, july 27, 2020. in 1919, the president of the watchtower society made a bold prediction, “millions now living will never die”.
that quotation was constantly repeated by the organization till the year 2000 when they realized that everyone in attendance at that assembly, who listened to j.r. rutherford repeat those words, are dead.. that teaching has guided my life.
statements were repeatedly made at assemblies, conventions and in print that there was no career in “this system of things” so you don’t need a job with benefits or retirement, your fulltime job is to “preach the good news”!
James Jack: "I'm running for public office next month. Our local newspaper printed my name as a candidate. I got multiple phone calls from other JW's wanting know what is going on in my life. Yesterday, The Elders called me to a committee meeting."
Yep...sounds like a letter of DA would be in order. Good luck to you mate. In this instance, me thinks your DA will leave a black-eyed imprint in your local JW community...nothing wrong with that...in fact a bonus!
BTW...your letter is indeed in good taste...I can see the elders reading it as well...a good witness to them.
i might have missed this but blondie was always one of the best posters here.
her analysis and commentary was spot on.. is everything ok with her?
.
I often think of Blondie when visiting Las Vegas. Planet Hollywood in Vegas off of Harmon Blvd & the Vegas Strip has a ton of inside shops called 'Miracle Mile Shops'. Included in these shops are a ton of places to eat. One of the classy restaurants there is called 'Blondie's' that I frequent.
Any way...long live 'Blondie'...and may the good Lord be good to you!
my old account was silent and i had to create a new account which kind of bums me, but here i am.. over the years i've really experienced some rough times emotionally and spiritually which led me down many paths.
being angry most all of time with a few outbursts really started to make me take stock of what was wrong with me.
further i started really going back and trying to figure out where i went wrong.. so i revisted all my previous posts on here.
How much y'all want to bet that silent3 will be back on his meds again shortly after attending JW boasting meetings?:) :)
i think this gal is incredible.

...it's pitiful when grown adult ordained ministers (elders) pullout the apostate card and repeatedly refer Bridget fromaz to their web site instead of admitting when they're stumped!
What's another way to handle a question form a caller that you (JW) can't or don't want to deal with...abruptly hangup!

Bridget fromaz is a blast to listen to. She is forever talking to elders...& she forever leaves them bruised & bloody! Most don't know what they're in for when they answer her calls.
Thumbs-up!
at what time would you say that the watch tower schema lost the spirit?.
like the ancient nation of israel which struggled maintaining divine blessing due to a long series of grave errors that eventually culminated in definitive loss... how and when did watch tower lose the spirit?.
can we pinpoint a time or event?.
Now if you want to start a thread about proof that there's a Devil...the sheer existence of the WTBTS would be my first argument! : ) : ) : )

As the old expression goes:
"When you've got it...you got it!"
Sorry, WT never had it...never will!
