Steve2 - yeah, good point, if they use their flag to cover a window they can call it a drape and Jehovah isn't anti-drapes.

How do the foreign language Congregations find people to call on?
by UnshackleTheChains inok. i had a fascinating conversation with one of my polish colleagues at work.
she knows i'm a jdub and an activist as have filled her in warts and all about watchtower.. she came up to me today explaining how a couple of polish witnesses came to her door.
she was curious as to how they knew to call on her door knowing she was polish.

Yes what wasanelder said. They fill out a little slip with the address and nationality and it gets passed on to the relavant congregation service overseer who gives the info to some witness to call on that person. All very creepy and stalkerish.

What is Nature's most perfect food?

i agree with garfield, but mayo comes in a close second.
slathering my pasta with an inch of best foods real mayonnaise (hellman's, east of the rockies) is close to heaven for me.

My, such epic heroic music for such a sad little group.
Just for my information, is your colleage a baptized believing indoctrinated JW by any chance?
You do realize many here have been hurt and traumatized by this horrible cult with lives stolen, families torn apart, time lost with loved ones forever all because of this horrible cult?

Why the verb shun is missing from the JW lexicon
by cognisonance inso my parents when i confronted them about how unhappy i am at them shunning me, responded by saying: "you keep using the word shunning, we're not shunning you.
"i am a bit confused how they can say that.
i'm an ex-jw and an atheist.

I'm not sure if "nature" made mayo but I suppose she made the ingredients for it lol.
Arugula - I could eat it all day just like a bunny rabbit. With maybe a drizzle of olive oil, salt and pepper and crusty bread for dipping.

John 1:3
by Hi y-all injohn 1:3 states in the nwt, "all things came into existence through him, and apart from him (the word, or jesus) not even one thing came into existence.".
the wt states apart from him one thing came into existence, that is, jesus the first created being.. is there an explanation for this apparent contradiction?.
thanks!.

I always thought the second part was just a reiteration of the first part only conversely.
Whatever it means if a verse sounds like it could read two ways and one of those ways reads even a wee bit trinity-ish the WT ignores the alternatve interpretation.

I freak out about getting to close with anyone on the internet or giving away too much personal info.
It's not just an ex-jw thing either I just don't trust the internet.

The Key Text on JW.Org Leaves Out The Most Important Part!
by steve2 inperhaps the one scripture most often quoted by jws is matthew 24:14: "this good news of the kingdomwill be preached in all the inhabited earth and then the end will come.
" even after decades away from the kingdom hall, i can still rattle off that verse.
i daresay all 8-plus million "active" jws can also recite it, plus the untold millions who have left or become inactive across the decades.. it is among the top cornerstone texts used in jw communications.. but now there's a significant shift in the use of that text: jws often focused heavily on the part of the scripture about the end coming.

Maybe we are from an alternate reality where the verse ended with "...and then the end will come." But, in this new reality the the phrase "and then the end will come" never existed. Lol.
Now I think about it the alternate realities theory would explain a lot of the freaky shit that's been going on in witnessworld in the last few years.
