  What Watchtower Belief/View Never Sat Right With You?

  but their views on blood are just plain weird!

  meat has blood in it even if it's bled.

  still eating meat means consuming blood.

  if you went to the meeting yesterday, did you notice how utterly watchtarded it was??

  it seemed to me that everyone in my kh has accepted the fact that they will die.

  that's all they kept saying, even the wt conducting eldumb said, " we have to teach the next generation because we won't be here forever.." wth?!???

  Londo,

  That's b/c study conductor's routinely harp on the photos by asking the audience to pick out the learning points.

  Like I the Jeremiah book where they show a young sister with punk hairdo/clothes being counseled by the elders. She's looking away from them with a F.U. attitude (photo 1).

  (photo 2): show her looking at a field service photo of her in her goody JW days, while she sits in her run-down apt., baby in the crib, dead-beat boytoy past out drunk on the sofa.

  Photo 3: she sees the error of her ways, cleans herself up, sheds a few tears of genuine repentance and is welcomed back to the congo with open arms, her daughter in tow.

  moral of the photo montage: listen, obey, be bleesed.

  The Scriptural Meeting JW's Don't Have

  do you ever read in your bible about a "service meeting"?

  how about the "theocratic ministry school"?.

  the society has to reach back into the ot to justify its assemblies and conventions, as with national holidays in ancient israel.. yet, there is no official modern-day version of this:.

  CultBgone,

  I'll never forget the time we hosted a local elder and his family, and promptly after we ate they said they needed to leave because a group was going to the movies. We weren't invited to the movies, however. Thanks so much...not.

  Let me guess, was this clown a substitute CO in training? Sounds like something they would do.

  Heaven forbid that they should even crack open the Bible and discuss among themselves.

  Eccentric Jehovah's Witnesses

  by snowbird in

  so as not to hijack logcon's thread about crazy things jw's have said to householders, i'd like to start one about just plain old odd jw's.. for example, i knew this dear, dear senior brother who would carry a small bag of peanuts in one pocket of his suit coat and a small plastic bag of brown sugar in the other.. during that time, we would stay out all day long because the territory was extensive.. can't you just picture that precious soul alternately tossing a few peanuts/crumbs of sugar into his mouth as he schlepped from house to trailer, from trailer to house?.

  the householders would usually offer us water, lemonade, kool-aid, or soda pops, so no problem with finding something to quench our thirsts.. those were the days!.

  sylvia.

  The JWs will never progress in this way because unlike the Jews, the JWs have always discouraged education and

  the few intelligent or educated ones enjoy being congregation scholars, ie., they are called on to define uncommon terms and answer the "profound" WT paragraphs. The educated JWs I know are either regular pioneers or high-profile DC talk-giving elders.
