  What were your favorite assembly foods?

  by NoRegrets in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  so i'm young enough to not remember having hot prepared meals at assemblies, but heard all about it from my parents and the like.

  but what i do remember were all of the cold sandwiches and institutional snacks and soda.

  remember the food tickets we started to use?

  Whatever happened to the "Fall of Babylon the Great" and the "drying up of the churches?

  by villagegirl in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i am from the era of the babylon book, and all the wt predictions that the churches of christendom would "dry up".

  the book babylone the great has fallen god's kingdom rules, said people would leave the churches of christendom, in droves and the ministers would have no more people in their churches while "god's organization" would see a tremendous increase, a huge overflowing great crowd, all streaming into the watchtower and coming to the "faithful and discreet slave" for instructions.

  thirty years ago there were six million jw's , today after the "great increase", and " great crowd" is now ?

  How Can Members of JWN Be Classified as Apostates When They Are Only Telling The Story as it Really is?

  by Yura Ivanova in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this term apostates, sure there are many that [deviate] from the [true] message.. but how can those that sit in the pews be the ones that can be called apostates if they stand up and tell it like it is?.

  apostate, its just [another] of [many] labels that are used by the watchtower so as to instill fear, so that no one will question the establishment.. but, jesus and others before him rose up to tell the story how it really is, and see what happened to them, nothing has really changed, the [false] story still goes on.. but, those who have doubts, know that the watchtower is full of shit nonsense, my question is, why are you still there?

  will it get you anywhere by remaining?

  One for the lurkers, how sure are you that the JWs are right?

  by Aussie Oz in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  got to pondering on the drive home tonight about some stuff i will say to my son, who at this time is thinking about whether to stay with jws or not.. two babies are born, by chance even on the same day.

  one is raised a jw the other as no particular religion at all.

  time passes and they stay with their respective upbringings into the late teens.. kid 1 (no religion) gets into normal teenage strife, sleeps around, does a bit of dodgy shit along the way while kid 2 (jw) is pretty much a good jw kid, keeps his nose clean and pleases mummy and the elders a lot but is not baptized.. one rainy night they are both in a freak head on crash with each other and both die.. which one has the better hope?

  World Could End Soon (Oh, Crap)

  by metatron in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i hate gloom and doom but sadly..... http://www.latimes.com/news/science/la-sci-solar-storms-20120505,0,6214500.story?page=2&sc=7369001384796169482.

  this is no laughing matter.

  a major cme or flare could wipe out civilization by destroying power grids everywhere.. this is why i get so angry about global warming hysteria - there are far more serious threats that could emerge in months, not decades ahead.. i also understand that a small asteroid is scheduled to come breathtakingly close to hitting earth in two years.

  Apostasy my ass!

  by Glander in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  let's call it what it is - disagreeing with the watchtower bible and tract society after baptism into the cult.

  in no way is the literal definition of the word "apostasy" applicable to what the cult is using the word for.

  it is a buzz word that scares the crap out of the rank and file and keeps them from communicating with those who have become enlightened about the cults lies.. we here on jwn have accepted the wt label, "apostates", with a sense of humor, such as calling our get togethers apostafests, etc.. but we are actually the "enlightened"..
