  1982 "Kingdom truth" Br Gerrit Lösch held the special main talk about truth.
  I was fascinated by his emotional kind of speeking and I even recorded the public talk on my cassette tape recorder.
  I liked the emotional attitude, I listented to the talk over and over again. I liked the mass enthusiasm about bible passages and
  applying the texts to this organisation. I liked singing together songs loudly, I liked the pictures in the publications,
  I liked to get always more and more new publications. I even dreamt of what would be the next Awake or watchtower titel page.
  How could it come so far?

  Born 1965 in a catolic country community I was a child of a single mother. My mother and me lived in the house of my grandma.
  I didn have male education and never saw my father. Once in a month we attend the catolic mass which was held in a very little
  chapel. My grandma prayed daily the rosary and I reenacted the priest doing catolic liturgy. I was then about 10 years old.
  I attended the usual religious education.

  Some day in the year 1974 or 1975 on of my uncles who always brought me christmas presents, converted to the witnesses.
  He is until today always unmarried and has always been in pioneer service, part timejob, 70 years old now and never contacts me
  because I am not a witness anymore (I visited him 2 times after my going away). He discussed with my grandma that day, I saw
  a book in his service bag, a green bible with thin paper which I liked and a little book whith a bible passage of Isaiah in the truth
  book and the name Isaiah fascinated me too. So this mystical truth began to be attractive to me.
  
  The uncles truth book stayed with us and began to read. Later when my uncle visited me we talke about the wonders of the creation
  and when i visited him (he lived in the same house where the Kingdom hall was) I attended an assemly and i read more and more.
  I like reading at all. What did I read? I like the Yellow "Gods 1000y kingdom - soon ...." then I like the Pink "Listening to the great
  teacher" and the green? "Make sure of all things".. I absorpted all the teachings, all the interpretations, all citations about the
  catolic and prostestant errors about catolic mass, apostolic successsiong, trinity, apostasy of the church in the 2nd century,
  about soul, hell and treated them all as "truth".
  
  I wrote little magazines on my typewriter, painted coloured pictures with biblical dramas and handed them out to my catolic school mates when
  I was 12. They respected me nonetheless. I was a thinker, a lonewolf, had never had a close friend.
  I attended later the commercial school and I never did anything together with my school mates in my leisure. Rather I read the books and
  magazines of the societey. I even made for myself a little booklet entiteled index for the psalms written on the typewriter.

  I think it was 1980 when I phoned to the local KH and asked for a bible study, because this was the usual way how to come into the truth, I knew that
  study and regular attendence of the assemlies was necessary, altough I already was totally convinced and was even doing witness to my mates.
  Once they asked me to go together in a disco but I declared that we do not go there and after a conversation with an elder I even gave up my plans to attend a dancing class. So 1982 on the kingdom truth convention I was 17 and I did not drink coffee yet, because I didnt like it,
  but now I like it very much.

  Thats is what they forget. I agree.

  What will happen with the wall paintings. Can they scratch them off the walls? Will the new owners

  overpaint the witness paintings. Or a the paintings transportable?

  BTW Comparision: Hagia Sophia in Constantinopel was not only dedictated to the Logos, wisdom of God, its construction

  took longer than a JW complex (537 until 1453), but it was longer in use than the latter. church, mosque ...

  It even served as inspiration for islamic osmanic mosque. even for another monotheistic religion!

  So this church is not only witness for God but for cultural development too. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hagia_Sophia

  For what would NY Bethel or other branch offices be witnesses in the future ? not to forget:

  in order that conservation and constant repairs could somewhen pay off ?

  The best rentable fabric of the 20th century?

  The highest tower where the most fear of armageddon or a tsunami was held?

  Proposed Apostate takeover campaign

  fictional apostate takeover campaign.

  stage #1.. what if in a town that had a particularly large amount of apostates and ex-jw's, over a period of a few months, they started going to a small congregation.

  either pretending they were bible studies or just returning jw's, they got good standing in the congregation, priveleges etc.

  When the WT branches are closed or selled .. how much cultural value for the witnesses gets lost too.
  So many efforts, hours, joy of happiest people invested are somehow wasted.
  in 100 years nobody will make sightseeing tours in New York Bethel, will there be brasses
  Cultural change.

  The Witnesses should finance such film productions to show them as dramas on their conventions. People would like to go to the conventions as much as to the cinemas and they would understand (hopefully and finally) that the whole bible is a dramatic tale, written words are a kind of art too. They would understand what they pay for. Of course with live orchestral music it would be in any case more impressive. What a dramatic epic event on a convention this would be.

  Jesus had to die? Really?

  by punkofnice in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i admit i no longer believe in god and holy books.. thinking of the made up 'universal sovereignty' thing, surely if god existed in the way the holy books describe him then he could have thought of something better than humankind suffering thousands of years and the slaughter of jesus?.

  couldn't god have said: 'well, satan is a very naughty boy but you all know how great i am so we can end it now.

  i will lovingly kill satan and his mates and that's that.

  Last Sunday Pope Francesco said:

  “Non c’è alcun limite alla misericordia divina offerta a tutti”.

  There is no limit for the divine mercy offered to all
