well that was no fun at all, just got a visit to invite me to the last supper memorial.
haven't had a call for a long long time.
i tried to engage them about following bible not watchtower, they just kept changing the subject as they have always done but this time every challenge was met with "we are not perfect,the slave is not perfect" and "we don't want to have a debate".
Smiddy, One was old man, 83, told me he was baptized at 15, the other was a woman 50ish I guess. I am in West Australia about 80ks out of Perth. I see them out in groups now and then, very rarely see any younguns in service.
After that long in he couldn't afford to look back and be objective about the changes, would probably be too much to cope with. I was pleasant enough with them, no good being full on with old folks.

I tried Blood, Generations, ARC, UN ;....... " we are not perfect"
I thought they were supposed to examine every inspired utterance etc, like the Beroeans. Just couldn't gain any traction at all on any subject. I actually felt sorry for them.They are a very pale shadow of what they formerly were.
one of the heresies of the wt is denying the divinity of christ.
during this "memorial season" they say that jehovah (god the father?
) resurrected jesus.
Tenacious; OP asked a simple question based on that poster's belief system, I gave a simple answer based on my belief system. Sorry if that offended you.
does anyone remember the video the jw came out with that showed the mom getting a phone call from her disfellowshipped daughter?
she is tempted to answer but doesn't .
she wants to be faithful to jehovah.
Hi Backstreets, I see you have just joined us; welcome. Would love to know a little more about you, your two posts have got me intrigued.

Nobody, it is a myth
i was howling watching cedars latest video of tm111 buying a dozen bottles of scotch ((maccallans scotch).
you can't write this stuff.
right, i'm now off to buy a bottle of maccallans 😂..
Waton, you certainly like the elephants in the room, trouble is with JW land there is a whole frickin herd of the buggers! :) Think I will have a whiskey cos it's that time of day here, might even toast Tony, bottoms up.

Well I am enjoying this much more than the political discussions that have been going on lately. Governing body stuff ups much more entertaining, for me anyhow. I doubt that it will wake many unfortunately but a lot of fun for apostates!.
i was doing some reminiscing and remember the days back in the late 80s and early 90s where i truly could say the meetings were so encouraging and that i felt the holy spirit present and operating on all of us.
today when i attend, there is nothing of the sort.
is it because jehovah has withheld it?
I was born in (1958) and I never felt anything except confused, lonely and frightened. Later on very angry.
No offense to those who believe but the evidence tells me they never were under Holy Spirit, there is no such entity/force.

No problem with Tony or anyone else having a drink or two.Problem is the same one as GB pinky rings, tie pins and Rolexs etc. To take a vow of poverty, ask people to donate their spare jewelery, deceased estates and ice-cream money to the world wide "work" and then drop a grand on booze seems a tad hypocritical to me.
Very poor judgment or doesn't give a shit? Don't know. Probably both.
there was a time when jw's wouldn't buy anything that wasn't brand spanking new.
it might be a way for the demons to enter your home!.
this is from the wt, dec 15, 1966:.
I remember how real the threat of demon possession seemed when I was an early teen awaiting Armageddon. Still I offered myself to Satan if I could get laid before the big A came as I wasn't sure I would survive anyway! But 1975 came without either event happening,I was glad for one and sad for the other.
The only bad dreams I had were due to the WT indoctrination not spirits and stopped when I finally realized TTATT.
