Outrageous Comment

by Yondaime in

what was the most outrageous comment you ever heard during a wt study?.

.

please share your experiences..

I don't remember the contexts, but an elder in his part on the SM, said something about talking to a person on the steps of a church. And after whoever walked away, he stood there for a moment, and said quitely, "God Damm! This Place!"

A water cooler elder (real butt head) giving the local needs part about associating with DFed people. Said, "These are Wicked, Vile, Evil people, why would you even want to be near them, much less talk to them!) All said with, all the HATE, and DISCUST, he could muster! I would not spit on him, if he was on fire!

What will the next "witness" fad illness be??

by stuckinarut2 in

as we know, it seems that many witnesses "suffer" from "illnesses" at times.. now , before anyone scolds me for being insensitive or unfeeling, i am not mocking those who really suffer from illnesses of any sort.

i am having a go at those that jump on the bandwagon of the popular illness, which actually makes real sufferers feel jaded.. i am referring to the way that many witnesses who are actually damaged as a result of the constant "fear.obsession.guilt" of jw propaganda, often seem to "contract the current illness going around", or blame it on that instead of looking at the real cause.. im sure it is a subconcious result of the burdensome pressure of jw life that brings it on.

instead of seeing the draining effect on their lives as being the result of witness life, they will latch on to the next illness going around.. so, what is the latest going to be?.

It's just like, today if you have served as an elder or ms in another congration, and stopped serving in that one, before you can be reapointed in a diffrent one, the new one has to contact the last one you served in, to get the poop on the scoop! I have been in. I have been in 5 differnt once sine asking to be deleted some time back!!

If it's what you really want, I hope you the best luck!!!

I have real problems with about 10% of perfumes, and have had to have an ambulance called a couple of times over the years. It blows my mind watching people claiming to be so allergic, then they show up at meetings or out in public wearing cheap paper dust mask, and even setting next to someone wearing stuff that would at least run me out the door! I have had bad lungs all my life. A few puffs from a cigarette, got me 3 days in the hospital, when I wad 12.

My X-monster had everything that came along, including toxic-shock syndrome, that was only caused by Rely tampons back in the esrly 80's, even though she never used them!

How do we set up a "Used New Bike Fund" for Terry?

by BucketShopBill in

jw
friends

is there any way we can try to start a crowd-fund to help terry get some wheels quicker than he currently can?

with craigslist and a couple of bucks from a few members we can help terry get moving.

does anyone have any ideas how we can do a "theists for terry" bike fund raiser and challenge the atheists to a bucket-head challenge?

I would give anything to be still able to ride!!!!

New method of appointing Regular Pioneers!

by stuckinarut2 in

a new arrangement for appointing regular pioneers has been announced.. in the past, a person would have to fill in a form from the society, this would have to be approved by the local elders, then this would be sent to the branch for final approval and appointment.. now it is just the local elders that approve it.

it doesn't need the branch approval any more.. they are selling it as a way to "speed up the process in order to be more effective in the ministry during these urgent times blah blah".

It seems to me, it's been that way in the US since the late 80's or early 90's.

Are we starting to treat DF people differently?

by Quarterback in

some may remember the time when the private study edition of the wt wasn't to be made available to outsiders, and the df'd.. now, with the recent boe letter, sept 1, 2014, it specifically states that jw.org is making the km available even for df'd individuals.. do you sense a new trend developing?.

DwainBowman

I am sure they put thst in print about everyone, including dfed people, was to preempt others seeing dfed ones with km's on their tablets, and going crazy! I mean, can't you just see brother toe the line draging some poor dfed sister in the back room, going off on her having the gall, to download the km, knowing it's only for jw's in good standing, and reporting time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And all the calls to borgdom!
