    Trinkets like these make me want to as seen posted as a status update:

    WHEN you carry the bible, satan gets a headache; when you open it, he collapses; When he sees you reading it he faints; when he sees you are LIVING WHAT YOU READ, he flees!! and when you are about to re-post this message, he will try and discourage you ... I defeated him!! You can too; so copy and repost ASAP!!! ***I LOVE JEHOVAH***COMMENTS wELCOME).

    And this:

    "I'll soon go to the kingdom hall to feed from Jehovah's spiritual table."

    Now hounding comes in the form of status updates:

    "Why do Jehovah’s Witnesses preach from house to house? Can you be one of Jehovah's Witnesses and NOT preach? If you call yourself one of Jehovah's Witnesses, are you preaching? What does the Bible say about preaching door to door?"

    "Not everyone will pioneer, but anyone CAN become one. Will you say this concept is correct?"

    Also the following on a profile page:

    Hello, I'm ***** I'm 14 years old. And am one of Jehovahs Witnesses. =)
    I love to do all sorts of thing, but at the top of my list is attend meetings. =)

    So sad. Why do I do it to myself to read this stuff??? Macabre interest I guess...

    FB has allowed a whole new era of insanity has it not?

    Gasp! They are using Facebook??? Going....ONLINE in their sparetime?? Don't get caught by the elders 14 year old!!!!!

    With all the pedophilia I just read about on another JW site, (JWFacts) I hope the parents guard this child well.

    I honestly never thought I would ever hear of such things going on among JW's. At one time I would have trusted them 100%.

    It's ok, I am doing the same thing and reading up on them, seeing the things I should have seen long time ago.

    Lots of Witnesses are on FB. I think it's ok as long as they vet their friends and use their page to "Praise Jah" and preach. Its a "if you can't beat them join them" type of leniency on the part of the organization I think... besides, it allows for a lot more spying on JWs by the elders and other dobbing JWs!

    Well that's what he/she says now at 14, as they grow up it will sound more like this:

    Hello, I'm ***** I'm 24 years old. And am known as one of Jehovahs Witnesses (to family & other JWs only) but not to my real friends, I wouldn't dream of letting them know of my religion. I hate all sorts of things, at the top of my 'hate' list is attending meetings and going witnessing, those things really suck!

    I was eating lunch with my wife's family Sunday after she had her meeting and one of my wife's friends from the congregation was sitting at the table checking her facebook page with her cell phone.

    aww bless, they know the mothership doesnt approve, so they have to compensate by making public declarations to show it hasnt trashed their spirituality levels.

    No, it's just made it possible for all the cyber world to observe their nuttiness firsthand

    Dontcha just love those dubs who list their political views on FB as "God's Kingdom" or "Theocratic Government"? haha...they're so cute when they're stupid

    If Satan can be so easily defeated, why are JW's SOOO afraid of him?

    This is the sum of the Internet (i) + Jehovah's Witnesses (jw).

    i + jw = weakend faith in humanity
