Interesting conversation with this pentecostal today at work. It made me think.

by joe134cd in

at work today a colleague was telling me how his church had purchased a van for the sole purpose of caring for their youth.

he was saying every friday / saturday night the church organizes some event for its youth outside it's church services.

they also have other services to that are provided free of charge for its members.

The Cong I am stuck in, may have one get to get a year! And they wonder why so many of the young ones are ready to leave!

Secret disfellowshipping

by disillusioned 2 in

i always thought it was ridiculous that when a person was disfellowshipped they didn't tell us why.

everybody would speculate, but we wouldn't know the real reason.

also i thought they were only supposed to be disfellowshipped if they weren't repentant and wouldn't stop doing the wrong thing.

DwainBowman

I remember when they move try he doing talk a couple weeks later, and anyone that missed a meeting would be calling to find out!

it's just another example of how some will go so far to make up bs and pawn it off as "truth.".

That story has been making the rounds for as long as I can remember! The city, and country changes now and then. Plus sometimes, in the story it just happened a few months ago. I also read it on a Moirman site not long back! I also heard it from a Baptist minister, that's also my cousin!

Prayer During District Assemblies

by Tenacious in

there's something that i've always wondered about yet could never truly understand.

does anyone know why during district assemblies a prayer is done during the last day after coming back from lunch?.

i can't quite remember if it's done other days but i believe this is done on the last day.

DwainBowman

There was also a time that after the lunch break, they had a gong and prayer, everyday! That ended in the 80's I think!

Did You Feel Bad For the JW Dishwasher-Cook Who Quit His Job (May JW Broadcasting)To Avoid Attending Later Meetings? He Pioneered on Welfare or Unemployment!

by RoyalFlushPhil in

did you watch the story about the jw who was working as a burger boy at some diner and his boss wanted him to work on sunday during the time of his meeting?

this faithful jw decided he could not attend a later meeting (6 pm sunday meeting) and soon quit his job(or got fired to attend his sunday meeting) so he could attend the sunday meeting he was assigned to.

i think he was on welfare because this story states he won't work on sunday morning because that's when his meeting is!

DwainBowman

Sadly there are lots of us that over the years quite good jobs for the Borg! I did at least twice. I never drew welfare of any kind, and went back to work quickly, less pay and benefits! If I had stayed at the first job, I would have been retired and not working so much about everything!

Why doe New light tick me off???? Next 2 weeks WT Studies

by zophar in

jw
friends

if you have been a jw for 20+ years you may remember that the wt went into great detail on different illustrations that jesus used and the "type/anti-type" ridiculous explanations.

remember the revelation book and how those obscure jw conventions of the past pictured big things in heaven and the opening of seals?

anyway, the wt lessons for the next two weeks do two big things for me.

DwainBowman

I hate this Samsung Tab 3, It misspells words, worse than I do! And I can't edit anything I write here, on it!

I was just telling my wife, how all these things, we were taught, over and over, are now out the window! She got very upset with me over it : (

Even before I started opening my eyes, some of this crap, was getting to bug me! Countless hours of worthless studying, and trying to explain it all to others! Down the drain! I can heasr the flushing sound now!

Specific Comments By R&F About May Broadcast

by freemindfade in

i know there are many posts discussing the may money requesting televangalism...er... broadcast i mean!

but i wanted to start one where anyone can put what they have heard any non-exjw, non-apostate witnesses say good or bad about the broadcast.

i don't see how it can't rattle followers... but then again i might be surprised how they can twist things (2+2=5).

My elder brother in law, went to the LDC meeting, some months back. One of the things he heard was about how all the work at Warwick, was going to be of the very best quality! No corners would be cut! And that if you could not perform to those high standards, don't come!

What Topped that off was the statement, After all, don't Christ brothers deserve the Very Best, during their last days on earth?????

Seems to my, Christ did not even have a place to call home, nor to lay his head!
