Yes, that's me also! Every single assembly / convention & at the occasional meeting. I used to be self-conscious about it, but now I don't give a ****

i knew it could happen one day...yet i was so careful..... sitting at the sound cabinet, i had our awesome forum open on my tablet, and didn't see the microphone brother looking over at me...... he wandered over and asked me "whats that site?".

i quickly responded "oh, i googled to get to our jw.org site, and this must have popped up" while quickly closing it.... he didn't look too fussed, but my heart was beating..... he is pretty chilled out and certainly not an "uber-dub"...but this was a wake up call to be more careful...i am fading fast, but don't want anymore attention from the nazi-elders while doing so!.

be careful all!

I googled to get to our jw.org site

LOL seriously??? Googling to get to the site when all u need to do is to type j-w-.-o-r-g?

Pretty lame excuse... that brother would be an idiot to really believe that

But fortunately for you, there are many idiots in the KH who don't think much, so probably you would get away with it. Just be more careful in future! =)

Was Jesus king before 1914? and something he said you did not expect!

by Crazyguy in

as jesus was entering the city his followers were declaring him king, luke 19:.

38 blessed is the king who comes in the name of the lord!

peace in heaven and glory in the highest!.

And why does authority have to be GIVEN to Jesus if Jesus is indeed God, as some Bible believers claim?

Is the Watchtower is blind to Jesus' teachings?

by Fernando in

jesus ate with common sinners declaring that they were in (matt 21:31).. jesus denounced religious leaders declaring that they were out (matt 23 esp v15).. still the watchtower persists in making their own determinations, according to their own rules, who is in and who is out (prov 17:15).

.

this is why the apostate watchtower ruling religious clergy class and hierarchy surreptitiously and contemptuously hate and obfuscate the unabridged gospel which teaches that a right and clean standing is imputed on the basis of grace (faith) and not merit (works).. are their similar instances that come to mind for you?.

The Searcher: In the Gospels, (as well as the rest of the Christian scriptures) forgiveness was to be shown immediately to a repentant person!

Question: Would you apply this to a pedophile who has molested your child?

How is Joe Publisher reacting to all the TV coverage on the abuse cases?

by 4thgen in

please pardon if this a repeated topic.

i have had virtually no contact with any witnesses beside my mother for the past few years.

she watches tv constantly and claims she has never seen anything on the watchtower abuse cases.

Divergent

It hasn't been highlighted in my region at all (Asia). Not even the slightest bit of media coverage. What a shame!!!

I'm the one who needs to "come to his senses" ?????

by Phizzy in

i was in conversation a few weeks back with a jw i have known for at least four decades.

most of it was catching up on family stuff, he has loads of kids, some have married and produced sprogs since i left.

all news to me.. i demolished a couple of his fatuous arguments, and then he decided to scuttle away, throwing this over his shoulder as he went :.

Divergent

Were you able to bring up the issue of child abuse? If you did, what did he have to say about it?

Tony's life story

by life is to short in

so i finally read tony's life story and this one point really hit me where he was talking about his son's.

on page 7 he say's "because they made the truth their own, they make susan and me look good.

so those who children leave the "truth" look bad?.

Divergent

It's obvious that Tony is highly conceited & egoistic from the comment that he made. What kind of person would say such a thing???

Anyway, one thing is for sure - Tony makes Jehovah look bad!!!

Will the Watchtower Corporation ever get mastery over Satan's worldly Internet?

by Brokeback Watchtower in

with satan's media and satan's internet the odds seem to be in his favor,while jehovah's earthly organization with all these multi-million dollar lawsuits waiting to be settled in or out of court it.. it seems that satan's multi-organization can claim the high moral ground while jehovah's earthly organization is left holding the bag full(in the thousands 23,000?

) of anonymous child molesters just waiting for another victim and more lawsuits in the making.

looks like a victory for satan demoting jehovah's organization to the shit can file of ancient history.. for a hundred years it looked like jehovah's organization was going to keep going strong then jehovah caused so many wrong dates for when the end of the world was coming and now with the invention of the internet where these big problems with jehovah can be aired in public seems to cast a spell of doom over jehovah causing him to hate to see tight pants on men and women and child like wizard toys and deaf people mastering the art of baiting ..

Well, Jehovah brought this on himself. After all, the victims were told to "leave it in Jehovah's hands", and he did NOTHING to help!

JW.Org masturbation video - a sign language translators thoughts

by Esse quam videri in

the watchtower 'masturbation' video has caused quit a fuss and imo rightly so.

let me relate an experience that took place almost 40 years ago, in the 1970's.. i was translating for several families who attended our hall from outside the territory.

the reason they came to our congregation is that i was the only one in the area willing to exert myself to learn the american sign language.

Did you make the right gestures?

And the right facial expression too... =)

The plague, livestock. Question

by James Mixon in

sorry if this have been covered.

Divergent

In the first instance, some livestock died but not all, as indicated in verse 10 where the remaining beasts were plagued with festering boils
