saturday, september 19th, 2015: .
earlier today snugglebunny posted a pic of today's "daily text" which is based on a paragraph from the november 15th, 2013 article.
that magazine contains the now infamous maxim: .
We each have a defining moment when deciding we cannot live this lie. Mine was when the Circuit Overseer said in a very strong voice - "we don't think we have the truth - we ... KNOW..... we have the truth."
F* this - I was out of there and never returned.
this photo was on jw-archive.. sisters are now passing microphones due to a lack of qualified brothers.
this was in a english speaking group in slovenia .
i feel sorry for the guy in the blue shirt!
I thought the bible says you cannot pass a microphone without a penis. This congregation must be really desperate to use non-penised members to do the work of the penised members.
I digress, sorry. I once remember setting in a mind-numbing elder's meeting and kept thinking that the only qualification these idiots met is that they had a penis - although in some cases I doubted this qualification.
Wow flamegrilled! you captured the essence of the new light concept.
i started working on this chart 5 years ago.
i didn't think i'd have to update it again so soon.. .
linky in case image doesn't show below.
Thank you for putting this together. It makes a very obvious point:
The light certainly is getting brighter as we move closer to the end of this wicked things. The clear implication of this chart is that we should never give up on the nearness of the end.
I, for one, have ceased buying green bananas in anticipation of the end.
i have seen posts on several you tube sites stating that jackson said during his rc testimony that jw's don't shun, celebrating christmas is not a disfellowshipping offence, birthdays are ok and ones doesn't have to agree with jw doctrine.
i have read most of the posts on other threads while and after his testimony but never read any of this?
did he really say these things or is someone on the net just stirring up some bs?.
He said what was stated in the transcript. In the interaction with the questions related to difellowshipping and disassociation Jackson was evasive and was not willing to give a straight answer. It was clear that he was attempting diminish the harsh treatment surrounding disfellowshipping.
It was a perfect example of spiritual warfare.
let's review: it's a cult!.
allrighty--got thinking about it in this thread.
isn't it odd that, of all things, that isn't on the list of df offenses?
I like the demon defense doctrine - As a famous comedian, Flip Wilson, stated - The devil made me do it.
last night i ran into a former elder friend, he is in his late 70s.
he asked how i was doing and i asked how he was doing.
then out of the blue he tells me; .
anybody tries throwing that overlapping / generation bullshiiiii down your throat.......you tell em to explain that.!!!!!!.
"and job saw his children, and grandchildren.......4 generations".
.
first let me tell you about george (his real name) the special pioneer.
not that good looking...a bit goofy, he had spiritual sisters literally ask him to date and flutter eyelids because of his positon.
he always made excuses about why sisters were "not his type"...had a bedroom full of pics of him hugging other brothers with a content strange look on his face....like this is my girlfriend look!
He was just counting time. After the coffee break at 10 am they probably did a few not-at-homes and then decided that visiting you was the easiest way to extend their service time. A total wasted morning.
