through personal experiences which i'd rather not relate because it would give away my identity i have come to a realization.
many brothers own businesses that a greatly supported by witness activities.
when local congregations need some service they will prefer to do business with a jw.
Yes I know of jw's who have building firms and printing firms who get a large bulk of their work from the WT.
I also know on a smaller scale that there is an expectation in the Cong that if you are a small company you should be giving goods/ services either at a big discount or for free!
let's think about this for a bit.
adam was tempted and sinned by eating of the fruit.
he missed out on immortality by being denied the tree of life.
well another big bad elder here just wanting to say sorry.. i'm sorry that so many were treated like crap, and shown that god's love is not to be found around jehovah's witnesses.
i'm sorry that inadvertently i've likely taught many to judge and as such see that racism permeates every corner of the jw world, else why else would someone be of the world, or even inactive.
i'm sorry i sat in on a jc, and voted to df.
has no one else seen this illustration in today's watchtower?
i don't know how to post it on here perhaps someone will help?.

I wonder how many jw kids will be picking up on this today? As remember mufasa was the good guy and scar (the one throwing mufasa down) was the bad guy? Yet in the illustration we have Jesus being scar and mufasa being the devil? Confusing much?

a huffington post link to an article where serena williams 'secret weapon' is you know who..... interesting read .
Is it just me but when Serena won Venus didn't even crack a smile! She looked like she was sucking a lemon instead!
BTW all the JW's I know are busy now saying " what a wonderful witness for Jehovah she gave!"
i watched/ listened to the brave and courageous souls on youtube who bravely recorded their jc's.
you really see a different and horrid side to the elders there.
it might sound whimpy but i don't think i would be able to stand strong like those guys did.

It might sound whimpy but I don't think I would be able to stand strong like those guys did. I think under their twisting reasoning and interrogation I would just crumble.
I wonder if anyone has ever got into that situation and then lied about being apostate just to keep in with their family etc?
I'm being very careful in what I do and say so that I don't get discovered. That's all, you can go ahead and call me a whimp now...
Maybe the bro's who think up these insane pics are smoking wacky bacy or similar?
Seriously though what's so wrong with lions? I seem to recall they are a constant feature of every "paradise" PIC...?
.
i can't believe they had the cheek to come out with that explanation.. it's no more "new light" it's "new scam"!!
!.
Surely? Surely there must be tons of jw's out there who are mentally shaking their heads at this?
Surely the penny must drop in their minds soon?
Surely!??
i had this idea of topic when john aquila made me laugh in one of his post when he said : new light!the governing body has the right to have sex with all the new virgins that get baptized before they get married.. and then i've decided to open this topic to ask this (stupid but funny) question : if you was in the gb, what's the "new light you will want to fight for?
I would have instead of theocratic min school. I would have a school training people in objective thinking and have people using outside sources for study.
But if you want a joke, I'd have a rule that all the bro's and sis's were now to wear the same clothes as worn in Jesus day. I mean dresses for men with sandles, beards etc... I'd like to see how many converts they would get after that!!!
Also how about imitation of Jesus at the temple? Once a month publishers could be commanded to go into their local banks and churches with whips and trash the place as much as possible while shouting "encouring" scriptures!
