she said, "so, what made you decide to study this book?
at this point, she opened with a prayer.
"...and some decide that such questions are best left to religious leaders and teachers.
Yes I agree with blondie, this "elderette" is proably already notching up some major brownie points bragging about her dealings with you with other witnesses. Leaving out anything that could be construed as "negative". Personally, I would not feel comfortable letting her use me in that way.
But you must have your reasons for throwing a few "pennies" into her witnessing/bragging account. Hope it turns out well for you.
well i think the title says it all so expect nothing of any importance in the special dec. issue of the watchtower.
to put santa clause in a good light would make jehovah very sad not to mention jealous, honoring santa clause makes this childish jehovah all jealous as he considers this an afront to his universal soveignty which gives him the right to destroy all false worshippers of the minor deity called 'santa clause'.
and don't get me started about how sad jehovah gets when he finds some little kid has chosen a sparlock the magic wizzardkind or type of toy that might be in league with satan jehovah god's chief sadness maker.. jehovah wants to go on a witch hunt(smash those evil toys) and burn those sadness making wizzard toys, the governing body perhaps in the near future and still in this delusional state will pass a ban on kid toys and must pass the elder's approval list before you can even think of keeping them in your car or the holly kingdom hall owned lock stock and barrel by the watctower corporation ready to be sold out from under hard working jws to pay out child molestation lawsuit.. these criminals have no mercy for the flock and the children get santa clause taken away from them because of mean old corporate imaged jehovah..
Bad Santa! making fun of the WT's God like that. You know he has self esteem issues, and he likes to be the most important God in the room.
and that red suit really makes him upset that he hasn't got one. You are so jolly all the time and that really pisses him off aswell,
can't you dial it down on the whole "ho, ho, ho" thing, the kiddies might like it but it makes the WT's Godzilla sad.
ok, so didnt jesus supposedly say "the end will come when you least expect it"?
(or words to that effect...).
so, with so many witnesses running around in an excited way talking about "100 years since the kingdom...etc" and "it may be our last chance to pioneer etc"..."may be the last international conventions".....doesnt this mean then that the end can not come now??!!.
I know it always seemed so patently obvious to me that if they were "expecting the end to come", "very soon", they're kidding themselves.
You feel like saying (sarcastically of course)- "yes, billions now living will never die!".
Except JWs don't get sarcasm and would agree with you wholeheartedly.
There's are many scrip's that more than imply that there will an element of surprise (even for Jesus followers).
So anyone that claims "this could be last memorial, RC, COvisit, etc ", either does'nt read what Jesus himself said or totally discounts it to mean "but that scrip is talking about false religion, not us".
o had some jws call on me and they didn't know me.

one of them said she 'found the truth(tm) but i knew she was a born in.. i wonder how many born ins pretend they 'found' the 'truth(tm) but actually mean when they were 'baptised(tm)' just to sucker people in?.
They just use whatever "truth" is convenient for them at the time.
If you need to impress some big "Overseer" then you are a "third generation witness" (looks good on your resume).
If you are trying to con some poor householder you "found the truth".
They are shameless in the way they misrepresent themselves.

oh my goodness, i'm so angry i can't even speak!
"women who complained that former jehovahs witness elder jonathan rose, 40, had molested them as children relived their nightmares in front of him after he was released from jail".
The borg is a veritable safe harbour for predators of all sorts, be it sexual, emotional or physical.
Predators don't go around with a tee-shirt that says "hi, I'm a predator ".
They are usually extra nice, they have to be to get people to trust them, sometimes "grooming" their
victims for months or even years before the actual abuse starts.
Unfortunately the elders allow this atmosphere of automatic trust that any normal person would consider dangerous in any other setting
In normal life you do not just trust anyone with your children no questions asked- yet that is exactly what happens in many a congregation.
That is why the cong is a haven for sexual predators and it will remain so until the GB change policy and elders grow a pair and refuse to be a party to "blame the victim" mentality..

This is not an isolated incident, elders are trained to ask stupid questions.
Which is why I wonder how anyone could decide to remain an elder after finding out what really goes on in these meetings/wichtrials.
i was thinking of the arrogant titles jw's give up the pecking order.
teachers.
glorious ones.
Ha! good one NY44M.
How about "Major Painintheass" or the particularly boring speakers "Captain Snooze".

What else is an elder going to say? He is supposed to lie for them- that's his job.
.. the new wbt$ donation arrangement/ jw kingdom hall bank account theft... is a very hot topic right now... the wbt$ is literally going to clean out kingdom hall bank accounts,filled with donations from jws... that theft is going to happen world wide..the wbt$ is going to steal from 7 million plus jw`s... .. we have jw elders here on jwn,that know whats going on... they "serve" in kingdom halls,they are "supposed" to be looking after the welfare of the average jw... they know there is a 4 page letter,only one page will be read to the congregation..the rest will be kept secret... they know the wbt$ is about to steal jw donations..on a world wide scale!!!...
.. i would like to know what you active jw elders are going to do about this??!!...
are you going to let "your" congregation know about the other 3 secret pages?...
Whilst going through the throes of waking up over the last couple of years,
I made a deliberate decision to refrain from voting on any of the "resolutions"( meaning I did not raise my hand for yay or nay).
Well the bro's doing the count got to noticing this and I was counselled about it! Bastards!
