  so with NO LOCAL NEEDS PARTS , what do they do?

  by ?me? in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if they are going to replace the local needs with feel good interviews of our "friends".

  what are they going to do for marking talks?

  now we will not know that a situation "has been handled" by the elders.

  What, no more "Name that Sin" parts?

  How else will the bros' know who to snigger and gossip about?

  Well at least they are replacing it with a nice "look at me, I'm a better witness than you" part.

  The height of delusion on display at last Tuesdays meeting...

  by BU2B in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i literally just sat there with my mouth open.

  sometimes the delusional mind of jws takes steroids.. it was during the draw close to jehovah study where they praise the mosaic law and how perfectly wonderful it was.

  you should have seen the almost giddy attitude the conductor had and the comments from the audience.

  If the OT crowd loved war mongering so much why don't JWs go to war today

  and steal all the catholic women and livestock, and take over the fancy churches.

  Where Are You on The Witno Scale?

  by tresdecu in

  2. friends

  1 - still think it's the truth ...came to this site cause danger is your middle name.. 2 - concerned, smoething's amiss but still believe.

  3 - 98% sure it's bs, but still go for / with family.

  4 - anger / denial, inactive with minimal attendance (ie memorial, spec talk etc).

  I have a pile of discarded beliefs leftover from this BS religion that could fill several dumpsters.

  And just when I think I have fully "cleaned house" I find more WT BS "dust bunnies" hiding behind cupboards

  and under funiture (so to speak) .

  So I am not sure where that is on a scale. It feels more like cleaning house after a messy break-up,

  where you don't ever want to lay eyes on that lying SOB ever again.

  Awakw mags are designed for the general public.

  They are straight out of the "bait and switch" playlist for recruitment puposes,

  and not a true reflection of judgemental attitudes inside the cong.

  Street Work is hard! Take a look.

  by Wasanelder Once in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  remember how we were told to engage people on the street, that standing and holding the magazines was not countable time?

  those days are gone.

  they have been reduced to the status of those guys on the street who hold huge "little ceaser" pizza signs and "homes for sale".

  These guys look shifty.

  Ive seen drug dealers with a more trustworthy appearance.

  The sign on the trolley asks the question "what does the bible really teach?"

  The thought bubbles above their heads should read:

  "how the f@ck should I know? Go to the damn website"

  Will Jehovah's Witnesses ever permit live video from their confessional 'library', in Kingdom Halls to the police station regarding child sex abuse?

  by Sol Reform in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  will jehovah's witnesses ever permit live video from their confessional 'library', in kingdom halls to the police station ?.

  perhaps, but not without a legal challenge and certainly not in sol's generation.. .

  with the support of members of the general synod, the legislative body of the church of england, former bishop john gladwin is leading the drive to compel vicars to report serious crimes that members admit to during a confession.. .

  I feel for you and your wife.

  You have a hole in your heart only a baby can fill.

  Take a deep breath and don't give up hope yet, you just never know.

  Where does all the money go?

  by Coded Logic in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  some recent posts on this site have really got me thinking.

  the kingdom halls are all paid for by their congregations - as are the assemblies and the conventions (none of it comes out of the wtbts pocket).

  every single assembly and convention i have ever been to there is always a surplus of money that is sent back to the society.
