I wishI could reason under pressure and think on my feet, well done!
bucket shop bill has a thread in which they are "counseled" for something, that ends up not even being true.
instead of the elder who made the accusation apologizing to them, they are made to feel like they should appreciate his overexuberence.. it struck me that this is a common tactic.
here is a story of my own.
Brilliant!

the letter has appeared at last - just for uk.
it is a money grab for the new bethel which has been approved.
there is a video to be shown - just watched it - brief summary of uk bethels, why current one is too small, why we need money to build a new one.
Ahh thanks for posting. We might get this tomorrow night then. Gonna have to dig out the old Russell quote "we will never solicit funds"..
i was driving our car going to our assigned territory for our sunday field minsitry (was with jw 2 sisters) when i saw a disfellowshipped jw riding his motorcycle heading towards us.
the guy was df'd around 2 months ago only (won't delve much on his case).
approximately about 10 meters, we saw him smile.
Devil's advocate here, I read an account where a df'd person said they hated it when people tried to smile or talk to them, as they were desperately trying to be reinstated and didn't want ANYTHING to hinder that. Being seen talking to a member of the congregation could've shown a contemptuous attitude for the df'ing arrangement.
jus' sayin'.

going to meet the jw i studied with for lunch.
hell prob ask why i haven't been at meetings.
any suggestions for a non incriminating statement that will still satisfy his curiosity?
If you're not bothered about the outcome, just say there's some stuff you don't agree with, if he presses you then pick a subject you're confident to talk about. You may help him. Mist likely you'll just scare him off, but worth a try if you don't mind not seeing him/them anymore.
I'm presuming you're not baptised. I've just realised this is a big presumption. Ignore me, others will give good advice!
since many years the nov public wt has only one color and no picture on the front cover.. very strange.
so the design department saves time and can go from door to door ...... .

Plenty of interracial couples here in the UK, I must say that racism is NOT something I've ever come across here among the J dubs, but I've friends in America that say differently. Not in the North.
hi everyone i'm back from the hell that was twickers.
i have a question, there's a ton a jw related apps available for download.
is it possible for these apps to be able to spy on the user once downloaded on to the tablet or phone?
Possible, but likely?
They may be megalomaniac controllers but I don't think they're stupid enough to risk doing something that could get them in legal trouble. Not while they've got their eight million strong army of snitchers at their disposal..
as we all know, our forum is experiencing some rather frustrating technical issues over the last week or so....( we know that simon the founder has matters in hand and is trying to sort it all out.).
but here is the real reason why problems are occuring:.
jehovahs holy spirit is obviously blocking its functioning!.
Yeh, or it could be the servers are overrun with all the newbies signing up!
on saturday evening i prepared three little truthful statements regarding the "new scrolls", and printed out several copies;.
1) the word 'new' does not appear in revelation 20:12.
2) the scrolls are not "new teachings", they are a basis of judgement for those resurrected.. 3) the scrolls are opened after satan is destroyed - not during christ's 1000 year reign!.
Ha, I thought about you as soon as I saw this talk on the program! I took copious notes so I could study it later, as I haven't ever really looked into it, but I remembered it was a pet peeve of yours!
isn't going to be wonderful??.
not being there..
Well let's hope more and more join up here, itd be good to know we're not alone at events like these.
