Gun and Roses- ( all of them). Back in the day I think there was more money spent on a GnR video than some movies. Totally over the top productions.

Have you met people in the "world" who are more commited to their christian believes than JWs?

by nevaagain in

i met a coworker at my work who was even more commited to his religion then almost anybody i had seen in the jw mids yet.

whenever we went for lunch, he would do a little prayer first, he didnt care if anybody would take notice of him.

he does not curse, never!

I just love how the WTS thinks it has some kind of monopoly on evangelism and clean living. Today there are more Baptists in China or Seventh Day Adventist in India than the United States. I wonder how that happened.

All the WTS really has is drones passing out magazines they don't understand to people who don't want them so their family won't stop talking to them.

JW's use UN to condemn South Korea for imprisonment of Conscientious Objectors

by cappytan in

although the organization condemns the un as a satanic organization that will turn on jws and try to destroy them, they're not above using the evil satanic image of the wild beast for personal gain.. link to article on jw.borg here: http://www.jw.org/en/news/legal/by-region/south-korea/human-rights-violations-conscientious-objectors/.

pasting text below in case you don't want to click through:.

south korea guilty of arbitrary detention of conscientious objectors.

If you look at the quality of life and freedom between South and North Korea, I have always found they WTS stance on South Korea extremely hypocritical. If there ever was a case for an armed population it would be the nation of South Korea.

Cowardly parasites. They should be sent to the gulags of the North.

How old were you ??

by Clambake in

when you had to start dumping your worldy friends ??.

just curious that's all.

not being a witness ( ubm here ) i think everyone has known a jw kid and at a certain age " my mommy won't let me play with you ".

On a somewhat related note, I have always wondered how JWs have managed to recruit anyone while using the terms “Worldly “and “False religion”.

The odd meeting I have to go to I have pointed out how incredibly pompous and arrogant some of the rhetoric is. I think a light has gone off. Some of the more disgusting talks she doesn’t even waste her time asking me to go.

Never heard the other side of it.

Your body of elders - were they liberal, conservative or moderate?

by minimus in

in my first kingdom hall, the elders were ultra conservative.

our presiding overseer used to be a zone overseer.

the second hall i was in was moderate.

Clambake

My First Congregation- A couple conservative hard cores that really ran the show that were surrounded by useless Yes men. The so called supporting elders were usually first generation converts which seemed odd. I guess lonely weidos like the power. I think as a whole the congregation really doubted the sincerity of the elders and no one wanted in the club. The joke really was on them. They dfed an entire generation of kids and now this congregation that to merge with another one due to skrinkage.

There was one particular elder that couldn’t go a single meeting without making notice of one of the batshit crazy doctrines of the WTS. ( Blood, dfing, GB ) . I actually don’t think he really know anything about the bible outside of WTS propaganda. He really scared me.

My Second Congregation- Small rural congregation. Head elder was a drunk and the rest were doing their mission work. Six months to a year in and leave. Most were single and the prospects of getting laid were slim to none. Pretty liberal bunch though. Once they realized you were only there for family reasons they just left you alone. Once they realized you had a pretty good theological grasp of the bible anything bible related was kind of avoided. I think there was a warning about me placed in my new congregation about not studying the bible with me.

One of the elders actually had his 12 year old daughter enrolled in dance and figure skating. I thought that was kind of weird. Once we were having a social and one of the elders ( I think accidently ) referred to Baptist youth group as “ those Christian kids “. There was a bottle drive in the neighbourhood earlier that day. Too funny.

How many JWs really believe the end will come "soon"?

by BU2B in

jw
friends

this topic has been on my mind lately.

i have been looking around at jws and wondering how many truly believe the end is as near as they are told.

from my personal experience, i know that my parents fully believe the end is imminent and may come any time now.

Clambake

My wife tried that “ Well if you just look at the news the end of the system is coming soon with me “. I then reminded her that according to the WTS and the new understanding of Mog and Magog the end of the system of things will happen when there is a huge migration of Jehovah witnesses to the middle east in the mountains of Israel and they will be attacked by a collation of nations from Central Asia to Northern Africa.

Now I don’t see some 8 million moving any time soon so no need to worry I guess.

Now if you want to play the bible prophecy game maybe replace the modern day state of Israel with what the society teaches about itself what really makes more sense? In a strictly doomsday scernio.

I find this is an easy way to end a convo with a JW real quick about “ the end times

Who is Gog of Magog? - Watchtower May 2015

by jwleaks in

here we go again... let's study... news report... comment.... who is gog of magog mentioned in the book of ezekiel?.

for a number of years, our publications have explained that gog of magog is the name given to satan the devil after his ouster from heaven.

this explanation was based on the fact that the book of revelation identifies satan the devil as the leader of the worldwide attack on gods people.

Clambake

Sorry

If I keep bringing this thread up but essentially the WTS is teaching.

Jehovah will call all this people to a land called Israel
An alliance of nations from Central Asia, the middle east and North Africa will attack Jehovahs people.
When this attack is just about to happen Jehovah god will come back and it will be the big A?
Sorry I love watching all those nutty television shows on the Christian channel about the future and how it relates to the middle east and modern day state of Israel and how god is actually an American. The WTS society has basically just replaced the modern day state of Israel with itself ?? That is just lazy writing.
Sometimes I think they just put out stuff out of pure mockery. I know the writing department must just be howling right now.
Or it just the way I read it.

So

I am reading this new JW leaks article about the new understand of Mog and Magog and I am not really sure what to say. Somehow all the witness will live in safety in a land called " Israel " or " Israel " will be the name of the organization or something like that.

Then they will be attacked by a vast army from Central Asia, the middle east and North Africa ?? Then Jehovah god will kill everyone ??

So they believe all the witnesses in the world will move to the middle east then get attacked ???

The delluted sense of self importance of the WTS is starting to border on the ridiculous. I think if a person turns on the TV it is plain to see what people are really under threat in the region. First Syria, then Iraq and now maybe Libya. I am of the belief that after the book of acts gods people are his church and " Israel " or the jewish people are something separate but still part of his plan. ( But that is another argument for another day ).

Anywho, Does anyone find it was silly as I ??
