  just thinking out loud becauseof some things my elder brother has said in the past.

  how his works help ensure his future w/the great crowd on earth.. .

  well, i need jesus for my salvation,but perhaps some of you do not.. just asking.

  JWs give lip-service to the Jesus man, but they dispensed with his "saviour" services long ago.

  The GB is the new Jesus.

  glen ellyn won't allow jehovah's witnesses brochure rack on sidewalk.

  http://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/glen-ellyn/ct-jehovah-witness-brochures-tl-20141209-story.html.

  the glen ellyn village board (usa) on monday night voted 4-2 to reject a request by a kingdom hall of jehovah's witnesses north of glen ellyn to place a portable brochure rack on a public sidewalk in downtown glen ellyn for evangelistic purposes.. glen ellyn currently bars commercial signage and the placement of any kind of structure whether temporary or permanent on its public sidewalks without village board approval.

  They could always set up the troll-ees in a bouncy castle so if some member

  of the public has a "slip and fall" at least they won't break a hip.

  1914 to 2014 and beyond.

  as jws "celebrate" a century of failed prophecy and cover-ups, what could we look forward to in their next 100 years?

  how much longer can they remain relevant in this ever changing society?.

  I think the borg is undergoing some kind of metamorphesis as we speak.

  Who knows what the hell will eventually emerge from that cocoon, or when the final reveal will be.

  The reality is they will become more and more irrelevant as time goes on, but they are

  the kings of spin, so whatever road to hell they take the faithful down, they will

  have all them dumb schmucks looking forward to the trip.

  i have only come across this term very recently on jwn and in an "apostate" video i watched yesterday.

  never have i heard anyone refer to jw's as "the friends" here in the uk.

  is it just used in america?.

  Where I am from "the friends" is a somewhat old-fashioned term that the oldies tend to use.

  It seems to be making a comeback though amongst some of the uber spiritual.

  @stuck- do you think your elders are worse because of being worse, or because you are noticing more now?

  The local has a cruise-gang of about 10 of them, they go on a cruise together several times a year. They have a WT study on the ship and everything.

  I couldn't imagine anything worse, they often come back nursing grudges from the falling outs that occur on-board.
