Favorite JW Urban Legends

by Christ Alone in

what are your favorite urban legends that you heard as a jw?.

here's mine:.

a brother, through his work, was asked to give a speech to the united nations.

Nambo

"I heard EXACTLY the same story of Chris de Burgh.

But it seems that it was about John Denver originally, and as he wasn't really known in Germany, German JWs replaced him with Chris de Burgh."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ah!, now you say it was Chris de Burgh, I think I got this legend wrong about it being John Denver at all, yes, I think it was Chris de Burgh, and seeing how this is the same story from England and Germany, then maybe its...........................true!!!

Where in Germany are you from Processor?, my Father was from Dusselldorf his parents having been driven from Prussia.

Potential Panic About Gold

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2012-09-23/gold-counterfeiting-goes-viral-10-tungsten-filled-gold-bars-are-discovered-manhattan.

there have been wild rumors about the world's gold reserves for years - being faked with tungsten.

this latest discovery, involving some reputable dealers, could start a panic.. metatron.

Nambo

Its not just Ron Paul, there is a general idea to go back on the Gold standard in order to aliveate the loss of confidnce in the fiat monetary system , the main obstacle is so little gold is mined these days that it wouldnt be able to keep up with growth.

Here in the UK, I was speaking to a Member of Parliament only last week who told me he was giving a talk on going back to the Gold standard as was George Osbourne, I said surely there isnt enough Gold in the world to cover the huge monetary debt, he said they would just have to put the price up! and I would be a millionaire!

Regarding the above article, were it says the bars were "hollowed out", looking at the pictures, I cannot see that this is the case, the Gold covering is so thin it wouldnt hold it shape if it was hollowed out this much, I thing these have been cast over tungstun ingots. The previous Tungstun scare claimed it was somebody at the very highest levels of this industry who were behind this, with the implication being most of the Gold at Fort Knox doesnt actually exist, its just tungsten that was never meant to be sold, just shown in order to create confidence in the dollar.

Can someone please explain why I'm NOT DF'd yet???

by Calebs Airplane in

i have been sending one "apostate" email after another to an elder in my congo (who frequently does circuit and district convention parts) and i'm still not df'd.... i've even sent him a free pdf copy of "crisis of conscience" twice in the last 3 months (sorry cynthia franz), as well as emails about the whole spectrum of bullshit (607, 144k, 1935, blood, proof of lies, false predictions, etc...).

he vary rarely responds but i know he's reading them because he said so in a recent google chat.... he even acknowledged that the wt got 607 wrong but then says that i should look at the positives and stop finding fault.... but still... i sent some really strong gb-bashing emails and i'n not df'd.... i mean seriously, i've pushed the envelope as far as i possibly can.. what the hell is going on???

.

Nambo

Maybe youve convinced his but his circumstances mean he has to endure.

Iam in a similar position in that the Min serv who took my book study group, was a fairly close friend, last time I bumped into him and his wife I told him all my apostate stuff, he refused to belive about the UN NGO business by the way, said he wouldnt even Google it, didnt want to know, anyway, hes obviouslt not taken it further, or maybe they DFed me behind my back?, can they do that?

by Christ Alone in

what are your favorite urban legends that you heard as a jw?.

here's mine:.

The John Denver urban legend we used to get was that he asked Witnesses to leave because his trick of his guitar playing itself wouldnt work with Witnesses in the audience, demons would play it see!

Satan cast down from heaven in 1914????

by NeverKnew in

so, give me credit... .

last night i had a discussion on spirituality with my jw friend.

our last few conversations, i didn't have the hang of the "line of questioning that gets them to think" technique down.

Nambo

Its what they belive allright, they belive Michael is Jesus, and the first thing he did was cleanse the Heavens back in 1914.

Revelation 12

7 Then war broke out in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. 8 But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. 9 The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.

12 Therefore rejoice, you heavens
and you who dwell in them!
But woe to the earth and the sea,
because the devil has gone down to you!
He is filled with fury,
because he knows that his time is short.”

They also have some theory that what happens in Heaven, ie the war in heaven, is mirrored by events on Earth, in this case the first world war, not sure which scriptures they use to get this mirroring notion from.

Seems to be a lot of this sort of stuff recently, getting people in the mindset that Jesus had a wife and kids, or maybe its just the fella I work with that reads a lot of Dan Brown books, once its in the public perseption however, it will be far easier for someone from the ruling elite to gain world rulership under the guise of a decendant of the Christ.

A JW called me a moron.

by shepherd in

well, i finally got a chance to discuss religion with a jw at the door.

i have been looking forward to it for a long time, now i know what questions to ask that will cause them to eat their reasoning book in panic.

but no, there was no long in depth bible discussion.

Nambo

Calling someone a Moron, isnt that like calling someone a dispicable fool? its Gehenna for him then.

I saw those cardboard Bibles being sold by 4 stores, s/h for £49 on Amazon.

Iam keeping mine, when the society goes bust those books are going to be worth a fortune.

Rules in the New System

by King Solomon in

ok, so even if laws are to be written on people's hearts vs spelled out into lawbooks, there's going to have to be some laws in the new system of things, right?

i say we get the ball rolling and brainstorm what they should be: after all, none of us got invited to the party anyway but since there just ain't going to be any party, why let that spoil our fun?

so, the theme is laws to be in effect in the new system.

Nambo

No speaking to members of the opposite sex. (Unless of course you were allready married in the Old System for there will be no marriage in the New System).

No Marriage, (except for Elders who will now be known as Princes), the scripture about being like Angels will be cited.

No sleeping with your hands under the covers. (This will be easily checked as we will be living in domitories with constant patrols, better hope your hands dont move in your sleep as they will be cut off, better to enter the Kingdom of God with one hand).
