About the girl finding cash,I cannot for the life of me figure out why they ALWAYS SAY
"do you know why I gave this cash back,BECAUSE I AM A JEHOVAHS WITNESSES"
Any normal human being will turn it in without batting an eye,because it is the right
thing to do.Also if you advertize something like that, it does not come from the heart
but obligation.To me it is shameful if you have to say because I am so and so.You
are not being honest.
One I found downright strange (in this week's study article):
A women with three children. She was progressing towards baptism. Then the man she was living with left her.
The paragraph presents the man leaving her as a challenge, which it may well have been (supposing the story is true, of course). But if she was progressing towards baptism, eventually she would have had to leave him. It was curious. It didn't say her husband, it said the man she was living with. It left me scratching my head.
Bobcat: Then the man she was living with left her.
You're right, but this way SHE IS THE VICTIM and we're supposed to feel sorry for her.
I just pulled out my bullshit detector and turned it on. It promptly went on overload and blew up.

Oh well, at least your Demonized Metronome still works! I suggest a nice Adagio Cantabile and a good Pinot Noir.
Good to know Jah is in control of things like this.
Now if he could just get a handle on all of those pedophiles hiding out in his house of worship.
Even if this is a true story, these boneheads don,t realize
things like this happen every day to none JW,s.
Years ago when I was trying to fill the void (as a ex JW)
I became a active member of my old Baptist church.
Wednesday nite, testiying nite.
Same stories, the Lord knew I needed a car (a new car),
the lord knew I needed a job, the best one the Lord knew
I needed a husband, really..
Lost Generation brings up a REALLY good point, why has there never been a WT acknowledging the problem of pedophiles in the congregation and encouraging people to turn them into the police?
My God, they want eveyone to turn fist-bumping, video game players into the elders. Why focus on these completely minor non-crimes by children and ignore one of the most heinous crimes against children?
Oh, I remember: It's a cult!
jam: these boneheads don't realize things like this happen every day to non-JWs.
These boneheads don't realize it because they don't know any non-JWs, at least not well enough to know these miraculous details of their Satan-worshipping false religious claims.
Stories such as these would seem to encourage JW's who own businesses to show favouritism towards other JW's when hiring. After all, if it's a good thing for a non-JW to prefer to hire JW's, it's surely a good thing for JW's as well?
