  weird: passing around literature fragments in prison

  by Magnum in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i dont have any specific references, but over the years i remember reading in the mags and hearing in talks stories of imprisoned jws who would somehow get a piece of a page of a jw magazine or an article or something like that and pass it around and get spiritually nourished by it as if it almost had a magical or supernatural nature.

  does anybody else remember such?.

  i always thought it just didnt make sense.

  How I heard it, someone would get something smuggled in page by page or less often, one (1) whole magazine and it would get copied down so more people could 'benefit' from the 'spiritual riches' coming from the zealots of Brooklyn.

  I recall one experience told about Eastern Europe, where sister's would bring walnuts in a basket to the JW prisoners in jail. (Obviously, where this was allowed). The top ones were real in case the guard helped himself. The bottom ones had been carefully opened with their meat extracted and a page from a Watchtower tightly rolled up, stuffed in, and the two shells glued back carefully together.

  OldGOAT aka OldHippie , Why are you picking on me???

  I am only sharing what is on youtube . What are your 3 sentences about? Me??? We disagreed a few months back. I said, let's take it off line. Are you waiting in the shadows to intentionally find fault with something I found harmless???

  Everyone doesn't speak clearly. I shared that I appreciated hearing such beautiful Spanish. Did you expect me to give flowers to a GB member for publicly speaking in a language foreign to him??? Forget it.

  Losch cheapened himself and his message by waving around three (3) unrelated rings. It looked like they were even different carot gold. He looked tacky. And I hated his checkered tie.

  Go pick on someone else OldGOAT.

  Shunning Among the Shunned

  by Quendi in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i wonder if anyone else has had this experience or know of others who have.

  when i was disfellowshipped, i approached another disfellowshipped person after the memorial celebration and asked him over for some refreshments and conversation.

  he turned down my invitation saying that the elders had told him that he could not even talk to other disfellowshipped persons unless and until both he and they were reinstated!

  I never heard that one before.

  I was told decades also by a sister who had been DF in LA that there were lots of get together's for DF ones. She also told me that while she was out, that she saw a therapist for her many problems. She said there was a number of therapists with xJW clients.

  I feel so sorry for the fellow that said no, he could not go out with you, even for a cup of coffee. Most probably since he was DF, he was trying to tow some stupid Elder's line and just went home. So sad. That Elder was seriously cruel. It is harmful not to have freedom to meet with others, especially, those in like circumstances.

  I LOST IT ... my JW rant today

  by talesin in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  well, i just couldn't hold it in anymore.. today, i exploded, talking to my mother about the family inheritance and how i am being screwed.. i told her i had been so angry lately, and just had to tell her what i was thinking, because the anger was slipping out at times, and i was making snide anti-jw comments .... which is not my way.

  i'm usually quite direct.. i told her that i couldn't take being treated like a piece of dog you-know-what on the bottom of someone's shoe any longer.. that in the past couple of years, i had learned so much filth about the jws that i was getting more and more disgusted day by day.. i started shouting ... there is nothing wrong with me!!!

  why do i have to be shunned when they hide child molesters???.

  This neighbor sounds too trigger happy. Some people, no matter what religion, are nutters, and kill people for no reason.

  I feel for you and I am sorry you and your area have to put up with this jerk.

  Do you have a Councilman, or Mayor to write to or email.?

  What about your area State Representative. Tell him what you told us. That the local density of people is growing, and you are afraid someone might possibly get shot or killed. Is it possible to find out someway, to see if his guns are registered, or do you have something like homestead rights and on your own property you can have any kind of arsenal you want?

  Is it possible this man has been in jail and should not even have one gun?

  Do you have any town ordinance for quiet time that he might be violating?

  ---> If you go the KHall route, I might see a Lawyer first and have the Lawyer write the letter to the KHall and not put your name on it, just be "the client". Say that this man is not a good neighbor, not a good Christian man, and say he also used profanity in addressing you. Possibly, say, you were interested in learning more about JW.org but this man and his family are such poor examples of their faith, you don't want anything to do with a religion that would have those hypocrites in it.

  I do know how irritating it is when you want to enjoy a summer night and you have to contend with neighbor noise.

  Where was the dead body of Jesus? Did the disciples disappear it?

  by opusdei1972 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i am currently an skeptic, but i have to admit that i can't assure that all the stuff of early christianity was false.. for instance, we know that the genuine letters of paul were written before the destruction of jerusalem.

  so, paul affirmed that jesus resurrected, though he was not there when it supposedly happened.

  but, if jesus did not resurrect, why didn't the jews expose this falsehood?.

  I saw the film "Jerusalem" at IMAX. All you have to do is watch the film and they will show you EXACTLY the true tomb where Jesus was placed and was resurrected from.

  When I was in Jerusalem I was shown at least two (2) authentic tombs.

  At 1:07 he is not doing two (2) thumbs up. lol He is saying the word seis (6) and putting 5 fingers and 1 thumb up.

  My bad. lol

  LL

  PS My Spanish is muy poquito lol but I don't recall ever hearing Spanish spoken with a German accent. Some of his words sounded a bit like he was speaking a type of Dutch, to me, which type, I don't know. lol I actually was mainly commenting on enjoying the clear Spanish, spoken by native speakers. That's all.

  PSS I knew someone who was born and raised in Scotland, came to America, then went to South America to teach English. After he came home from that adventure, I met him and I found myself straining to understand his English. So if you are in South America and you hear people speaking English with a Scottish accent...

  At 1 hour 7 minutes, Gerrit Losch flashes, yes, lol, 3 gold rings. lol Two (2) on his left, the second is not a pinkie ring, but a ring on his middle finger, and one (1) gold ring on his right. He also gives two (2) thumbs up at the same time. lol

  As a female, I must say... I hate his tie. lol
