You Can Be Happy As A JW If...

by JW_Rogue in

you are delusional.

meaning that you believe everything that the wt says 100% without questioning it all.

you believe there is no other source of truth or valid view points.

You can be happy as a JW if you prefer living with your head in the sand and your ass in the air.

Who can come up with the punch line why JW's are not delusional.

by James Mixon in

jw seek treatment for mental breakdown.. he tells the physician, my non-jw family tell me i'm nuts because i preach we are the only true religion (jws).. the doctor said that is strange because i have two patients that checked in yesterday and they .

each said they belong to the only true religions.

one is a mormon and the other a muslim.. so the doctor thought i will lock all three up in the same room for the night and see what.

Sometimes postive thinking is delusion.

With that moustache Perry, you could be, (and I mean this in the nicest possible way) our very own real-life "Flanders."

"Doc, I 'm not "delusional" anymore because I realize I never was. I have started a Bible study with the other patients, I am so happy. Jehovah must have sent me here for this reason!!"

Problem with the Like and Dislike Buttons

by Listener in

there is a problem with the like and dislike buttons.

depending on what source you are using it is easy to vote more than once on the like or dislike.. i noticed this initially on my tablet touchscreen.

if i tap quickly & continuously click on the like/dislike button, it will register as multiple votes, the same happens on my laptop when i do the same thing with my mouse but this method doesn't register as many votes.it is only a matter of time for others to pick up on this and there may be some who are already aware of this.

The like/dislike thing is just a simple form of a rudimentary peer review system intended to make people think twice before posting - I suspect. But, like all peer review systems they can be used a weapon to score personal points.

JW marriages: “They” looked good on paper.

by Londo111 in

i applaud anyone, male or female, who overcomes shallowness and looks at a person’s deeper qualities, especially in regard dating and marriage.

the movie and fashion industry does much to institute shallowness to the point that, in my opinion, it promotes outright discrimination and judgmentalism even as they give lip service to tolerance..

on the other hand, among jehovah’s witnesses, there seem to be a preponderance of incompatible marriages.

Yup, cult life is a bitch and then you die.

Awww, you "love and miss us"? Really? Then why ignore us?

by stuckinarut2 in

so we received the obligatory "shoved under the door" memorial invitation and "return to jehovah" brochure the other week.

it also had a hand written note from two elders saying "we love and miss you" etc.... so why then when one of them saw us at the grocery store, did he pretend to not see us and then ignore and quickly walk away?.

the sincerity is wonderful..... dont get me wrong, we dont want any attention from them, but it's an interesting observation anyway.....

Yoj gotta remember the JW dick -tionary has different defintions to words like love and miss than regular english dictionaries.

To the dub -

love = various forms of shunning and humiliation.

miss = doh! we can't control you if you are not there.

Spreading the "Religion of Peace" in Europe

by freemindfade in

so sad.

i love europe.

i love going there not as a tourist, but just blending in and spending time with locals in non-touristy local gems.. islam seems to be spreading their religion of peace throughout the continent.
