i am sitting at the recent assembly, bored out of my mind (have you ever heard anyone call these things fun?
) and the next speaker walks out on stage.
he starts off with an illustration.
As a child in the 1950's in church (Baptist), there was this guy in
Sunday service that would stand up doing service and yell out that's
a lie, that is not what the bible say (he was studying with JW).LOL
I don't know how you held back from yelling, are you bat sh---t crazy.
i was having a discussion with my sister yesterday, and she said to me,'mom told me that if dad dies at armageddon, she cant get remarried in the new system' .
i told he i have never heard such a thing, but i do recall that it was believed that anyone who dies now, cannot be married in the 'new world' because they are to be as angels in heaven.. she said , so why be resurrected if yiu cant live your dream of having a loving mate and perfect children?
god is still dictating to you how you will live.
Some of the angels missed the memorandum, although they didn't get marry in
heaven they came down to earth and married the women. So that
tell me they still had the urge to do a little bumping in the sack.
The whole thing is crazy as hell.
i was surprised to learn many other mainstream christian religions believe in a physical earthly resurrection.
even catholics.
it seems the belief is that as of now one goes to heaven to wait, then in the future will have an earthly resurrection.
I personally have never talked to a believer that believed in a
earthly resurrection except JW's. Most people can't wait to fly
around in heaven, meet their love ones and sing praises all day.
while in service on saturday, i was sitting with an elder that i have known for years having a coffee break.
we were discussing the up-coming convention and what we had to do etc.
then, (there was a tv up on the wall in the coffee place where we were) on the screen burst the news of the nepal earthquake.
They (JW) had a field day when the San Fernando California earthquake hit.
Why, because it was the year of 1971, four more years before your neighbors,
family, children, over 6 billion people are fried. The KH was filled at the next
meeting. This is a sign we are definitely in the last days and I believed that crap.
do jehovahs witnesses assist with disaster relief in nepal?.
http://www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses/faq/assist-with-disaster-relief/.
what say ye?.
They provide toilet paper, kindling and insulation , their mags.
That's something.
so where did god exist before he created the heavens?
As one preacher said "He was preparing hell for people who ask
this question."
in 1986, peter davies was on holiday in kenya after graduating from louisiana state university .. .
on a hike through the bush, he came across a young bull elephant standing with one leg raised in the air.
the elephant seemed distressed, so peter approached it very carefully.
tick skin "the ability to withstand criticism and show no signs of any.
criticism you may receive getting to you".
did you have a thin skin when.
Yes I feel the same "Criticism hurts" but it's good for you.
It's funny as A JW knocking on doors I was called a lot of names, told
I was bat sh--t crazy, a sale out to my race, I have no idea what I'm talking
about. But what did we do, shake the dust from our shoes and go to the
next door. We did not lose a night sleep.
tick skin "the ability to withstand criticism and show no signs of any.

Tick skin "the ability to withstand criticism and show no signs of any
criticism you may receive getting to you". Did you have a thin skin when
you were a JW or a tick skin. Have your skin got thicker after leaving the borg.LOL
i stole this, from of all places, rick fearon.
i don't know who he stole it from.
please think of more.. things i trust more than the jehovah's witnesses governing body+ the media+ mexican tap water+ cappuccino from bill cosby+ a bigfoot sighting+ a politician who says "trust me"+ an al qaeda who wants flying lessons, but skips landing and take-offs+ a hillary clinton war story+ bill clinton wanting to give a speech at an all-female school+ gas station sushi+ a brian williams or bill o'rielly news report+ email from a nigerian prince.
