Elderly sister (married) says rumor is that RC talk says resurrected will be with thier mates! Poor thing.

by Wasanelder Once in

87 year old sister (who's current husband, a total nazi one foot in the grave) was excited to relate that (she heard) a talk at the regional convention said a wife would be happy to meet her ressurected husband and grab him in her arms!

she reads that as reunion of the married kind.

she is pooping skittles she's so happy.

pronomono

There was a demonstration at the NO Intl Convention that addressed this in a way. There were 5 young brothers sitting around visualizing what they wanted in paradise. One wanted to live on a beach. Another wanted to live in the mountains. Another wanted his own 100 acre botanical gardens. One of the brothers asked how could they be sure that they would get these things? Wouldn't it be assigned. The botanical gardens brother said that was his desire and that the bible says Jehovah will satisfy all the desires of the heart, so he was sure Jehovah would give that to him.

So..... according to that demonstration, if you desire to be with your past mate, Jehovah will provide it. If you desire to watch unicorns humping dolphins, Jehovah will provide it. If you want your own panda petting paradise, Jehovah will provide it. If you want a dozen virgins to de-virginalize, Jehovah will provide it. Anything your heart desires........

No clue, but I've always wanted to go to these directories and add jwfacts or some other "informational" website as the website for the KHs.

Resurrection talk at convention

by innerpeace in

i didn't go to the convention but have family who did, all are going on about the resurrection talk, how there wasn't a dry eye in the arena.

and apparently a video was shown too on it.

we lost a family member some years back and they are on fb talking about the resurrection and new world coming soon.

pronomono

I was there too. It was pure, unadulterated, emotional propaganda. They've know that once you are fully emotionaly in, all logic and reason falls by the wayside. Everyone's eyes in New Orleans were all glossed over. It was pitiful. I almost started to laugh because it was so ridiculous.

Splash, we had no anonymity in our 'anonymous' survey too. We were asked to reply to an email or personally hand a slip to our elders. I refused to turn in a slip.

Shaving: Wet or Electric?

by FL_Panthers in

jw
friends

something i ponder about now and again.

i don't shave that much, maybe twice a week so it's not even a big deal, but i saw someone at the health club using an electric shaver and that got me pondering all over again.. .

i've been using mach iii recently and fairly happy with that.

pronomono

I've used quite a few Remington and Norelco electric rotary shavers since I was 18. A razor blade has never touched my face. I haven't found an electric shaver that gives a good clean shave, even when using the electric pre-shave creams. So I always look like I have a 5'oclock shadow. My beard only seems to grow when I sleep at night, so my shadow hasn't ever been an issue. Consumer Reports claim foil shavers get a slightly closer shave.

Do JW Apologists "Count the time" when they come here?

by tim hooper in

jw
friends

..and if they do "count the time", do you think that they type very slowly?.

pronomono

Count time on here? It's the only time I get. I haven't been out in field service in close to a year now. The months seem to have flown by. I don't "lie" on my time sheet as "a watcher" implies. I know plenty of pioneer witnesses that count time answering questions on Yahoo. What's different about discussing the Bible on here with all you apostate non-believers? What is considered valid service time is between me and Jehovah/Jesus? In my opinion, time spent helping the elderly, sick, and poor counts as well. However, counting time in itself is another issue. I'm doing it right now purely during my fade, but I don't agree with counting time in the first place.

Also, I've talked to Jehovah about this and he didn't say that I should stop doing it. He never gave me permission either, but I assumed the silence was approval.

CONGREGATION FLEECING RESULTS?

by The Searcher in

how much did your congregation and its bank account get taken for?

share your horror story!.

Joe Grundy,

Taking that capital loss make sense when you look at how much they are gaining elsewhere. They're planning for the big picture. You're estimate plans for losses on individual halls. When you consider that most congregations have very little debt to the Watchtower and that with this new arrangement that almost every congregation is going to double, many triple, and others quadruple or more the donations that they were previously giving to the society, the loss on those few congregations doesn't seem so much any more. And if the congregation is following the directions, they are continuing to pay what they were before, if not more, except now there is no defined end in sight. On the books, it may look like a loss, but given a few years that one hall will become a cash cow. In the meantime, all the other halls more than make up for the deficit. Looking at some of the numbers here is astonishing to me.

The letter has been read at our hall, but we haven't made a resolution because....... our elders are busy calling each family to ask what will be donated. My wife made the comment how this was unusual and I gave a good witness to her about how she was right. I'm avoiding the subject with our elders right now. I'm always conveniently busy because I want nothing to do with this. We have a fairly big hall, so I'm interested to see what our number will be. Currently, we had been donating $50 to $100 dollars a month to the KH Fund. I'm sure this number is going to go way up. I'll let you all know what type of recourse there is, if any, for failing to provide a number.
