  Maybe ToMo will give us all his permission and "blessing" to go to Disney. The place the kids REALLY want to visit. Not a printing facility with cardboard cut outs of Caleb and Sophia . GAG!

  Live in the U.S.? Tune into Dateline Friday evening, April 15th, to see a report about the Colorado Candelario murder trial (he's a JW).

  ralph and pam candelario were active jws in colorado.

  ralph murdered pam.

  professor jim penton was invited to appear at the trial last month by the prosecution as an expert witness to answer questions about jws.

  We watched it as well. So much for Jehovahs "pure" organization. I wish I could go into detail about what is going on in our family right now. Not so "pure"! The JW's seem to have more issues than the ordinary "worldly" family.

  Circuit Overseer Coming For Lunch – Everything Has to be Perfect

  we have the circuit overseer’s visit this week, and my folks are having him and his wife over for lunch today.

  of course, i’m making it a point of hightailing it out of there to have my lunch elsewhere.

  when my mom asks me “why don’t you stay and meet him,” i just say, “well, he’s just a man like everybody else.” she says, “well, of course.

  I always wanted to invite them over and have Hot Dogs, beans and some off brand potato chips and see how that went over. I just couldn't bring myself to spend the 8 bucks on the food. lol

  I figured he wouldn't come over anyway. They never show up at the "losers" homes. So glad we were "losers". What a blessing from Jehovah!

  "Made him a gluten free pizza because he had celiac disease."

  Was it just in our area? The Co and or his wife always had a special diet either due to a physical problem or some other conjured up issue?

  My parents always kissed the CO's ass. Made me sick!

  Embellished assembly interviews/"experiences"

  by ab.ortega in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  oh how wonderful those experiences at assemblies and "schools" are - not.

  at times it seemed as if these "experiences" were scripted.

  the speaker gets criteria in the outline regarding what the experience or interview has to be about.

  So if they embellish the demos at the assemblies, what else are they embellishing? Things that make ya go.... Hmmm!

  I am now calling "theocratic warfare, theocratic bullsh*t".

  Yes, I remember your story. It is so sad and we are so sorry for your loss.

  It is beyond disgusting what JW families do to one another.

  Things I Never Knew When I Was A Witness!

  by disillusioned 2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  there are some things that as a witness i never knew.

  maybe i was just going through the motions, attending meetings and not listening much.

  never was very good at personal study or underlining answers in watchtower or book study (i never ever answered up) was too shy.. i never knew when i was a witness that they taught that jesus had looked down on the earth in 1919 to see who was serving god most accurately, and of course he chose a small group of bible students living in america!

  Theoldhippie - If you don't mind me asking. When did you discover that the Watchtower was part of the UN (NGO)? Did you believe it was true?
