standing on corners holding up the awake and watchtower magazines?
all hours, all weathers?
street work reminds me of randy crawford's "street life" - i've modified the lyrics.... .
I was 23 years old in the 70's and would stand outside a High School in one of the suburb in Chicago at 8 in the morning placing 40- 60 magazine every morning.
That was when i first learned the "truth" and just got baptized.
Eventually after a while i despised street work. I always felt like an idiot.
some will notice i was really busy during the weekend, thats true as some jws will say i was in a spiritual paradise surrounded by brothers.. my view of a paradise is everybody living in harmony and happy, my weekend experience was more like unhappy people and complaining about almost everything, not to mentioned the quite discussion in the corners (i.e.
gossips).. anyway, during on the discussions, the is (islamic state) topic was started.
it all started when on the elders said that he prefers to talk to muslims in the ministry since they are more open minded and accept our teaching.. i dont come from a muslim background but lived among them enough to understand what they believe.
You should have asked privately " What happens if we as a JW ask too many questions or don't agree with the GB?
Simple question that would shut him up!!
i have seen in my local area and while traveling a foreign country jw.borg booths at flea markets.
i remember about 8 or 9 years ago seeing a russellite table at a flea market, and a jw with me said how they were from russells time when those apostates left and the only preaching they do is setting up stands like that.
now jw's are doing the same thing.
What a waste
this is the daughter that told me she will never shunn me.. this is the daughter that told me dad, i pray one day you.
will be sitting with us (her family) in the assembly, that one.
day i will come back.. it was a $100.00 check with big bold letters "love you"... i'm going to frame it, she knows i don't need it..she is.
That was nice of her to do that.
I have a daughter, the oldest one, still a JW, has not communicated with me or her sisters since March 2009. Don't even know where she lives.
That's what the watchtower produces.....loving, compassionate,appreciative kind human beings. :)
i have heard so many jws complain about isis and how cruel and sadistic and pitiless they are.
all my mind can think about is how their techniques are so similiar to the ancient israelites under joshua that the jws feel are heroes and champions of true worship.. role models for kids.
isis believes that non-believers who do not subscribe to their world view should be killed in brutal ways.
Who was the guy in Israel that kept some of the gold " ACHAN ".
He got killed but all his relatives lost their lives because of his theft.
Sickining isn't it some of the "justice" "we find in the inspired word of god"
according to both christian and jewish eschatology, the messiah will come to jerusalem, where he will deliver the jews from hostile nations "round about.
"since the jehovah's witnesses and other adventists don't believe his coming will be literally fulfilled, but figuratively fulfilled, they simply believe he will return to the earth, where he will slay the wicked and the righteous will be caught up to meet him in the air.. first we have a christian declaration:.
and when [jesus] had spoken these things, while [the apostles] beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
He's not coming...take my word for it. I know what i am talking about.
collectively the rank and file in the congregation are like a pack of beaten and abused sheep, licking each other's wounds.
telling each other soon this conditional love, the gb way or the highway, door to door bull@&$?, time sucking, money sucking, life sucking, brainwashing cult will take care of us... matt 9:36. they believe persecution is having a door slammed in their face or a house holder telling them to never comeback.
they also believe you love your neighbor by sticking a wt and aw in their face, but donating to a charity or just going to talk to your neighbor is evil.
But don't forget "They are the happiest people on earth" and so it is written in their literature, and those magazines are from Jehovah.

while you are sitting there reading this, there are literally hundreds of thousands of young males and females all over the world [ mostly in america / canada and england] sitting in their grotty little smelly bedrooms or flats, designing computer viruses that they will up-load onto web-sites to cause anonymous innocent peoples computers to malfunction.
these creeps spend literally weeks,months or even years hoping to make a computer viruses that will get into peoples computer bios to completely destroy their computers.
they never see the peoples anger, frustration and distress.... the damage can cost each person about 1,000 [ $1,660.74 ] or more to replace a basic new laptop or tower.
Do you expect me to read your post......a little too long.
our go-to wack-a-doodle elder moved to a new congregation a few years back.
the position has been vacant since then.. we had an elder move in a few months back.
he appears to be angling for the position of resident wack-a-doodle.. at last night's service meeting, he said (paraphrased): "as a congregation, we've been busier than ever before with our special campaign.
Have not been at a meeting in the last 7-8 years but Armaggeddon is always around the corner.
I would throw up if i was seating in the audience....same old ...same old crap.
some may remember the time when the private study edition of the wt wasn't to be made available to outsiders, and the df'd.. now, with the recent boe letter, sept 1, 2014, it specifically states that jw.org is making the km available even for df'd individuals.. do you sense a new trend developing?.
Would they leave it up to family members and friends to make a choice whether to associate or not with adulterers, apostate and so on?
By doing so the GB would relieve themselves of any blame for what's going on in the organization for all the broken marriages and rejectiion of sons,daughters and friends..
We've seen the same with the appointments of elders, they have nothing to do with it anymore, leave it up to the elders and CO to qualify brothers.
