  Weird Jehovah’s Witnesses

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  is it my imagination or are most witnesses weird, odd, and “different “?

  it seems every congregation has a couple of weirdo elders, pioneers and ministerial servants.

  and then you see those witnesses who attend meetings but most people seldom associate with them because... they are eccentric..

  Bizarre image that puzzles me -- any tips?

  by FatFreek 2005 in

  1. social
  2. current

  i am a sometimes weather buff and enjoy the various services our national weather service provides.. interestingly, a few days ago (7/26/19 at 6:20 a.m. to be exact) i was looking at our arkansas statewide weather radar image during breakfast.

  on that image, something appeared bizarre so i decided to do a screen capture on my samsung tablet.. today, i am still puzzled so i decided to share it with others in the hope that someone may offer solutions to the puzzle.

  just below, is that captured (and unretouched) image.

  International convention

  by Gorbatchov in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this week i see many jw going over the top and beat their (sometimes medical) limits for the convention preparation with music, ethnic cloats and greeting costumes.. my jw grandparents will turn in their grave.. my opinion is that the jw organization has given their blessing at it because of "give them bread and games".

  it keeps the rank and file busy.. what i don't get is that the oldtimers accept all these changes.

  with all the scandals of the organization, it would .

  be sound and logical from a human or strategic viewpoint,.

  that they loosen the reins of control and be more honest with its members.

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  just got a phone call this morning from a very upset anointed brother.

  he said he didn't believe me when i told him about the pedo problem and selling off of halls.

  he said he was disgusted with the watchtower and had to go to a special meeting last night.

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this forum was a lifeline to me when my world was unraveling.

  i thought for a while that my experience was unique and my story important.

  something close to 20 years have past and my life is happily, largely drama free.

  Review: 2019 Regional Convention

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so here's some random highlights from the convention this year:.

  in a couple of videos, they promote a very negative attitude about bettering yourself and taking career opportunities.

  for instance, in one video a boy is either getting a college offer or at a job fair, i can't remember exactly, but first he imagines getting better off financially, and then he turns around and imagines losing his money and losing his nice car.
