someone posted a counter mormon video on another thread and suggested we have one available to show after witnessses show us a wt video at the door.. sounds like a great exchange witness approach.
all we need is a good short video that could either bless witnesses with the gospel or plant seeds of doubt in wts authority.
know of any video that might fit the bill?
Show them a Pingu video on youtube.
Act as if it's a factual documentary about a penguin that lives in a house and uses a toilet (or whatever).
When they point out that Pingu is not real say:
"And your guy is?"
Pause until they start to respond and then shout "MWAH MWAAAH!" and close the door.
I guaranTEE they will remember that encounter forever.
i know @hiddenpimo is going to laugh at me for this because we had several in our old congregation, but what is with all the window washing businesses owned/managed by jws???
they are everywhere!
.
I called it the Velvet Trap when I was a window cleaner. Yes, there is nothing wrong with earning a living by manual labour and having a trade skill is as valuable to society, or more valuable, than most white collar careers,
BUT.
There is no skill progression and no career progression in window cleaning. The only advancement you can make is to take on more work.
Compare that to something like carpentry. Your skills and abilities increase over years until you can call yourself a master craftsman. You can go from doing utilitarian work to practically artistry.
The reason that window cleaning is a trap is that to earn a decent wage takes all your time and energy. How can you take an evening course to learn a different skill when you come home physically exhausted every evening? The Velvet part of the trap is that you can earn enough money to earn a decent wage, so you would lose money if you stopped window cleaning and started in a new trade.
The only reason that I escaped is because I fell off my ladder while window cleaning and the government paid for me to retrain as I could no longer do my job. I thank Dog every day for that slippy bit of patio!

I'll be seeing this band in Bristol on 17th June:
remember when we were jws and all loved to hear demon stories?
and then there was always that paranoid person that would shut us up "in case they're listening"?
and the resident crazy every congregation seems to have that claims to have been possessed at some point?.
Fair play, that is dedication!
is it me or does it seem simon isn’t around much lately?
i hope everything is ok. .
It's not Simon I'm worried about. Where's Garfunkel??
i know a lady who says she feels demeaned if a man walks on the outside or opens a door for her or stands aside to let her pass.
i just think it's good manners.
being a gentleman has nothing to do with equality in my opinion..
Anyone who feels demeaned because someone treats them differently because of their gender, in a polite, mannerly fashion, has literally zero idea of what it means to be demeaned.
last night i dreamt i was at a circuit assembly; i even had a walk-on speaking part early in the morning program.
i spent the rest of the day “working” the event in a security detail.
the dream lasted until the entire day’s program was over.
I used to have Armageddon dreams, but haven't had one for years now. I still sometimes dream that I'm at a KH or assembly though, but not as a JW. I think it's because there's a part of me who still wants to convince my old friends of the truth (about the truth). That's not going to happen any time soon so my brain tries to process it in dreams instead. Maybe...
i had been conducting a clandestine affair for the past forty years with a jw chinchilla i met on jw ratz.com.
we only met to do drugs and poop on each other, but i knew in my heart it was something really really special.. now i am bereft!.
oh dear, dear, dubbie chinchilla, why?
I... am not going to click on that link...
e tricki've been tossing around the idea of perhaps going to a meeting in the future just to check things out i'm in no hurry this could happen months or years from now.
i would like to give them a witness about some of the problems i see as a newly interested person checking things out.
maybe just hanging back after coming to the meeting late and casually talking with people as a non pushy interested in what going on after some internet search led me to jw.org.
I can see myself going into a Kingdom hall again for my mother's funeral, but that will be the last time. My JW siblings are all younger than me so I'll be safely dead before them.
