  This weeks service meeting! More craziness.....

  by stuckinarut2 in

  so this weeks service meeting is so full of "crazy".

  a whole 15 min part devoted to trying to indoctrinate everyone on how to "explain our beliefs on 1914".

  then another 15 min part called "a tool to help us explain our beliefs about 1914".

  If the GB knew what was good for them they would be trying to forget about it.

  now that i've got a pic up, i'm moved to recount an experience which occurred at the time it was taken.

  on my last night in auckland before flying back home, i stayed at a friend's place; she was going to drive me to the airport in the morning.

  in the morning (saturday), just before we were about to drive to the airport, there was a knock at the door, and guess who it was!

  I just can't believe they done a Mexican wave at the assembly. 3 years ago if I heard of such a thing I would of thought of it as total disrespect for a sacred occasion. I just can't believe what I'm seeing. Kids activity centres in bethel, Flag poles out side kingdom halls displaying the national flag, cartoons in the mags and the list goes on. My how things are changing.

  I had an uber dub pioneer aunt comment to me about a wordly funeral she attended of a bible student. "you know (with a look of disgust on her face) they must of only spent 5 or 10 minutes talking about the person and the rest of the time was taken up with the church". Just hit me like a bus that comment. WOMEN OPEN YOUR EYES!!!!!! Of course I never said anything.

  Just watched a documentary on the Mormon church and I reckon they have got far more scandal and issues with BS doctrins than the witnesses ever did

  must admit i didn't know a lot about the mormon church, so i decided to spend my saturday night exploring them on you tube.

  after having viewed it i reckon the watchtower dosnt even come close to the scandal and total bs that surrounds the mormon church.

  this is just 2 examples.

  JW Info-Commercial Memorial Service

  by William Penwell in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i attended a jw memorial service about 2 years ago and the speaker i thought gave a good eulogy to the diseased even though he quoted a few scriptures.

  just recently i attended another jw memorial and the sermon was about 10 minutes on the person and the rest a big info-commercial with a scripture quoted one after the other.

  i did not keep count but i would think the speaker read about 10 - 12 scriptures.

  Im going to give you an experience of an ( uber dub / married to PO elder)aunt who was relating to me about a wordly funeral she attended of a person she was having a bible study with. " you know joe they must of only spent 10 minutes talking about the individual and the rest was on the church. I was disgusted." That comment just steamed rolled me. So much so that I can recall it today.
