The fact that you even started this topic means, in my opinion that you know the answer and what to do. So go and do it.

i was just thinking of something i observed on a visit to bethel some years back, that at the time struck me as odd, but now that i look back on it, it might be revealing about their financial situation.

please feel free to agree/disagree with me and also bear in mind this is some years back so my memory may be sketchey.

i remember walking into the front entrance of the bethel to do a tour.

Wouldn't it cost more to feed and pay an allowance to that woman at Bethel than what they would save by re-using the stamps. Just saying.

For Australian forum readers, Graham Kennedy was supposed to hate the witnesses and was a do not call in the Frankston area of Victoria.

Also the tennis player, Gabriela Sabatini was rumoured to hate the witnesses because of their stand on gay and lesbian lifestyles. Word of mouth only though. I don't have anything to back it up.

I can watch medical shows on TV where people are having operations, but geez I can't watch that stuff. I'm way too squeamish.

'Anointeds' Do you know any and if so what are they like ?

by Introvert 2 in

would like to hear about any experiences anyone has had with the so called ' anointed ' .

When I was a child in Melbourne in the 60's we had the most beautiful and wonderful remnant sisters. I called them Auntie Eva, Auntie Rith, Auntie Enid and Auntie Ada. They were all single sisters and special pioneers and special ladies in their own ways. It was a privilege to have met them and there was no doubt in my mind or anyone else's that they were all genuine anointed sisters.

However, later we moved to NSW Australia, to the Mid North Coast area and there were a husband and wife team who claimed to be of the remnant. He was ok I suppose but she was the devil! Enough said.

I think you have it right. That is pretty much what I understand. If you are wrong then we are both wrong, but I don't think so.

let's show this cartoon to a modern Jehovah's witness

by opusdei1972 in

if they knock my door, i want them to explain me what this cartoon mean......

Awake at last

I can see the edge of another cartoon on the right hand side of that cartoon. Maybe if we had both it might make more sense. Also we would not want to do what the WT does and quote something but leave out the next bit which may alter the meaning or explain something. Opusdei do you have the next picture?

"in el salvador, one man tied his vicious dog in front of the door whenever he saw jehovahs witnesses nearby.

the man would wait for the witnesses to move on, and then he would bring the dog back into the house.

the brothers were never able to speak to the man.

Wing Commander, I heard that story, told slightly differently years ago too.

BTW does any one remember the one about the Siamese twins, one became a brother and the other one didn't? Then he kept hearing stuff and eventually converted.

What about the one where the child came to the door and said that mummy wasn't home but they could see her feet behind the glass panel at the side of the door so they said to the child, "You tell mummy's feet that we called.".

Heard all this stuff so many times told in slightly different ways.

Judge Rutherford once said, "Religion is a snare and a racket". We all should have listened to da Judge.

If inactive ones return it is like the dog returning to its vomit.
