  just wanted to post this because i just discovered most of it, and you may be interested.

  also, it is relevant to the victoria australia case, specifically the wtbts's defense.

  if you read the transcripts, you will see how the lines are being blurred between who is a minister, and who is not.

  I predict noo lite on who are ordained ministers or possibly a subtle change in the meaning of the term ordained minister.

  once we found out we were all witnesses, we all hugged.

  now we just had to see if our kingdom hall was still standing.

  when we came to the hall we had such a huge shock.. there were so many people there.

  The saddest part is people have put their lives on hold waiting for this fairytale and waste millions of hours trying to recruit more into their fantasy.

  i worried most about losing my dear family, but i also had silly worries like, what would happen to my pets?

  say i didn't have a chance to let the cats out, they would starve inside my house.

  and what if people were so starving because of the big gt famine and stole my chickens!

  I too worried about rabbits or guinea pigs trapped in hutches, birds in cages etc not being cared for as their owners were now dead.

  quote from this week's congregation bible study.

  ch.8, para 15, 16.. .

  one sister opened her heart this way: "i've since left the world and do not desire to go back.

  Single Mums were the lowest class of human in our KH. I even did most of my field service alone but pushing a buggy. I felt shunned and excluded unless some-one wanted something from me.

  I wish now I had faked the hours and just gone home to watch teletubbies.

  That meme is still up but not posted by you. Are you sure it wasn't because it was a duplicate?

  Share the Craziest far out ideas/arguments you have heard about life in the "NEW SYSTEM"

  by BU2B in

  really the whole thing is ludicrious but it is hilarious and sad at the same time to see grown people arguing about weather there will be cars, planes, eat meat, what about fish, etc in a place as imaginary as oz, yet to them it is reality.. the teaching of a paradise earth was so illogical it really was the first thing that started me on the path to waking up.

  just the thought that someone could greet their beloved spouse who had died only to come to the realization that they could never be together again struck me as so cruel, i didnt want to live there even if it was all true.. i have heard jws say they think we might be able to fly, read minds since we will be able to use 100% and some seem to think life would be an endless vacation, with modern conveniences with no thought to all the processes and work that goes into something simple like a pencil.

  i love the article jwfacts has on the flaws of any theory or teaching of paradise earth.. what are some things you have heard discussed/argued in car groups, gatherings etc when you were in?.

  We had one old sister who claimed if there were no clothes in the new system she would not be allowing anyone to sit on her sofa without placing a serviette underneath their bare bottom.

  In her world serviettes and sofas both make it into the new system but not clothes. That never quite made sense to me.
