Jehovah's phone number

    Well actually my caller ID said Jehovah’s Witnesses, so it belongs to one of his ever so faithful servants who was trying to get in their hours this evening and was doing phone work, I just wonder how you can call a phone company and request a phone number under a name that belongs to a worldwide religion

    Of course Sis. [name removed] from the [removed] Congregation here in the city, started in with the Hurricane Sandy doom and gloom sermon, had to tell her I’ve heard that sermon since I was child in the 60’s, asked why Dubs do that when the scripture says “no man knows the day nor hour” basically she/they are still holding out for a Holy calamity to do away with us evil folks of the world, She mentioned the earthquakes and pestilence and things are worse now than when you were a child, can they please get another script or something?

    Mentioned scripture that says a day to Jah is a thousand years or days or whatever it says, she agreed, but kept going round in circles as they are trained to do. She jumped all over the place when I asked why they’re on their third doctrinal or generational change, told her I wasn’t sure what it’s called but surely she should know what I’m referring too, also asked if she was associated when the society was admonishing the bros and sis to stay away from the internet, yet, the society had their own homepage when they were saying to stay away “Well there are many sights like pornography and child molesters which you should stay away from” I said well, I could be a drug counselor and tell you stay away from drugs, go home and get loaded, so that would prove I was still a part of it, she had to laugh at that one, however, as usual she was all over the place, I kinda zone out when they start spewing the same BS all over a legit question, so you can just imagine how all over the place she was when I asked why the Dubs are on their third change, she did mention the light gets brighter BS and some other nonsense, tried to point out to her that she is following man since the Bible has never changed, then she went in circles again with her “so-called answer” if that was what it was, she just wouldn’t admit to following the GB which are men, but agreed that the Bible remains the same

    I asked her if she was a vacation or regular pioneer, to which she was shocked to hear a caller who would know that “lingo however she corrected me, I forgot that vacation is now called auxiliary piosneer. I never let on I was raised in the Cult, she said I was quite knowledgeable, but just said I had a relative that was a Dub. So give Sis. and let her know that “Amy” posted Jehovah’s phone number on an apostate sight and you’d just like to ask her a few questions, let’s help her get her time in this month !!

    Thanks for sharing. She was probably calling from a kingdom hall, which could have a number registered under Jehovah's Witnesses. She was probably quite shocked to have someone who knew so much about JW's responding to her. I bet she calls back...

    I see the actual title has been edited and the number has been removed, but if anyone wants to PM me to get Dear Sis number so she can get her hours in for the month feel free

    BTW I mentioned that I frequent a certain site on the web where there are a lot of "former" JWs as well as many who are leading a double life. I told her that even the Elder's Manual has been published on the site and many are afraid that their families members will not speak to them if mention that they don't care for the Borg anymore, so when you hear Bro So and So read the Watchtower or give his talk, he just might be a part of the website I'm tallking about, she said "Oh, okay"

    Please do not encourage harrassment of individual JWs. Our beef is with the WTB&TS, not individual members who are just practicing their religion.

    I agree with Simon. Shirley, just let it go.

    I "third" that motion.

    The general membership are unknowingly deceived, just like the rest of us were. It's the Watchtower who is the actual villian here.

    I have found that it's better to simply ask an "innocent" question that gets them thinking for themselves. That way you aren't seen as apostate or hostile, and it plants a necessary seed. Even if they spew their rehearsed spiel to your innocent question, you know that privately it will stick in their heads.

    Victims.

    Just like us. Just at a different level, as we once were.

    earthquakes...are worse now than when you were a child

    Earthquakes are not worse. If anything, they're slightly better.
