2 wt zombies came to my door today.

and i opened a can of woop a$$ on them.. i did the whole history of wt false prophecies on them and asked them to show me the gospel of 1914?

they couldn't and i followed them up and down the street proclaiming they were false teachers and couldn't talk their way out of a paper bag with a knowledgeable apostate.

You sound like quite the deranged nut job, JYD. Any sensible JW, or any educated person for that matter would've left you yelling and kept on going, moving on to more receptive individuals. The days of wasting precious time with people like you are long gone.

Gather your strength, though, for we'll keep on preaching; it's our job until Jehovah says "enough". Hopefully, some day you'll be in a reasonable frame of mind so to establish a real conversation based on actual facts, and not the loud monologue you're used to.

You think it upsets us, JYD, but in reality is quite funny to encounter crazies such as yourself in the field service.

I'm sure you have much time in your hands nowadays that you're not busy preaching as Jesus commanded his followers, so please check out this article I found most helpful: http://www.watchtower.org/e/20000622/article_01.htm

Be well, and calm down for your own health.

Challenges Facing the Watchtower Org

by eric356 in

ive been thinking about the future of the watchtower organization and the challenges it faces in coming decades.

its difficult to address the issue without allowing personal feelings affect the analysis.

many people seem to think that the society will collapse fairly soon, based mostly on the fact that the person dislikes the leadership or cant understand how others can believe the doctrine.

Doubtfully Yours

The Society has evolved tremendously and will continue on keeping up with the times and the needs of its people. Its survival and continuous growth is evidence of Jehovah's approval, direction and protection.

Following Jehovah's word, the Bible, all challenges will be met successfully.

Eliminating all traces of exJWs

by Scully in

does anyone know if it is common practice for jws to take down or remove photos of dfd or dad family members within their homes?.

if so, is there any basis for this practice within wt literaturetm?

or is it simply a matter of "going beyond the things written" in order to hurt and disrespect the target, and extended family members who have close ties to the target?.

Doubtfully Yours

Scully,

To answer your initial question, it is a personal choice; some radicals do, some logicals, more sensibles don't.

There are apostates within my extended family circle and we still keep their pictures, gifts, whatever as before. We even exchange visits, calls, etc., not necessarily as tightly as before because there isn't so much in common anymore, but we still keep in touch and respect each other's choices.

Science Working to Create Workable, Safe Blood Substitutes

by AMNESIANO in

scientists are working on synthetic replacements for blood.

but many attempts have failed to meet safety standards.

october 25, 2010. in the "true blood" television series, sexy vampires quaff bottles of artificial blood that allow them to live alongside humans in polite society.. .

Doubtfully Yours

The stance JWs and other unsung heros against blood usage in their healthcare has worked wonders in the scientific field because it has pushed for finding alternative treatments. There was a recent article in a medical journal magazine I read while sitting at a hospital's waiting room on how the absence of blood in a person having surgery facilitates their full recovery faster and without the routine complications that blood users endure.

Dr. Laura read in his radio show some months ago a letter from the medical community thanking JWs and others who refused blood for this stance had pushed the medical field further into research that has benefited countless of patients and elevates medical research to the highest levels. It was a most wonderful tribute to JWs and others who stand by their faith of not accepting blood, but still seek the best treatment possible.

Interested Person kills Bethelite in German Kingdom Hall, later is killed by train

by processor in

on saturday, 35 jehovah's witnesses gathered in their kingdom hall near frankfurt and sat over coffee and cake (for whatever reason, maybe pioneer school or some other event).

suddenly a 20-year-old man (according to most sources "not a jw yet, but wanted to become one"; though one source claims that he would have been an auxiliary pioneer) took a knife from the cake buffet and killed a 45-year-old bethelite (maybe a circuit overseer).. today the murderer was killed by a train - supposedly suicide.. .

Youngster sounds mentally unstable ; whatever the reason, I liked the ending: Took somebody's life, lost his own.

I quite enjoy the ending of a life that has taken or severely wronged another life. The "eye for an eye" law is the very best there is.

Hospital Liason Committee Arseholes

by Hairyhegoat in

jw
friends

please be aware if you have just faded and were baptised , if you or your family have a major life or death accident the mongols from the hospital liason committe will always be there before you and will still try to take over the care for the family member.

why does this happen, you need to delete the master records of all family members and they are now not jw any more, if you don't they will still be called and you will have a fight on your hands to get them to leave.

contact your doctor / gp or hospital and get this sorted out.

Doubtfully Yours

Thanks to the Hospital Liason Committee the faith of many a JW is protected and their decisions respected.

Thanks, thanks, thanks to the Hospital Liason Committee arrangement. It's a wonderful provision for faithful JWs in these times.

Apparently, I'm not worthy of being saved.

by doublelife in

jw
friends

there were some preachers at my apartment building.

not sure which religion they were, but definitely not jws.

they were wearing normal people clothing.

Doubtfully Yours

Doublelife,

It could also be that these people don't have the training and determination that JWs do in reaching everybody in their territory; maybe, I just thought, if they're an elitist type of religion and you look too screwed up (tattoos, piercings, slutty or trashy looking) maybe they'd have thought that they don't want a person like that in their group.

Just some of my thoughts. Ask them next time you see them.

We had a person in the congregation that was homeless at the time he was reached by JWs; he progressed to the point of straightening out his life, rented a place, bought a car, started working, you know, lived a dignified life for a while. Just the other day I heard he started to hang around his old friends and now is back in the drunk homeless life. Sad.

A simple question

by Listener in

there is a lot of information available about questions to ask jws.

it's a good thing to make them think a little more instead of being spoon fed all the time.. one question that could be posed is - where did the the 'new light' come from?

(answer) so where did the 'old light' come from?.

Doubtfully Yours

Go to www.watchtower.org and research that question if you're really interested. You'll sure find the answer there.

Also, you can check out the book 'Reasoning From The Scriptures' and read the chapter titled Jehovah's Witnesses; the answers to many of your questions are there.

Remember, though, as Paul the Apostle said "Faith is not possessed by all". The book of Hebrews, Chapter 11, has a beautiful rendition of what faith is.

Why Do You Come Here?

by minimus in

jw
friends

i like this place.

i like the mix of posters.

i think it's a helpful site and most informative..

Doubtfully Yours

It's a bit of entertainment for me; also, I get to give my 2 cents worth of advice and sometimes defense against all the disgruntled JWs/ex-JWs, that don't follow Biblical directions properly then get the awful results of their behaviors and then come all mad posting here lies and half-truths often.

Thanks for asking!

Hey, good news, and some advice needed

by ColdRedRain in

jw
friends

i don't know if i've shared this with the board before, but i finally got my driver's license.

i'm one step closer to getting the hell out of my jw family's reach and finding independence.

and even much better news, a friend of a friend offered me a job as a sandwich delivery driver and my boss from my seasonal job offered me a job as a marketer/snow shoveler.

Doubtfully Yours

You just got your license? Is it safe to assume you're a minor then?!

How about hanging around a bit longer with your horrible JW family until you get enough education for a job that will support yourself and eventually a family, if you decide so for your future?!

Be wise; when I was going through my teen rebelious kick, which lasted well into my mid 20s, at least I was smart enough not to leave the fold until I was done with a college education and held a job that could support myself and all my indulgences very nicely at that time.

Acting hastily will make for many headaches for you and your family, as terrible as you think they are, because, like some of my family members, that hate the Organization, but there they are hanging around us JWs in the family for help all the time!

Be patient and make your plans as firm as possible. Right now, as you describe them, those plans are weak and flaky at best. Come now, what's the rush?!
