  It's all about WHO you are with the JW's.

  You will hear from most JW's...."what a great witness to the community."

  Princes death ='s 15 minutes of fame for the WBTS.

  No. Enjoy your day, go have a nice lunch. They won't get it or care. The higher ups are just telling the dubs that "they are apostate driven lies."

  interesting take on how to motivate inactive ones.... https://www.lds.org/youth/video/reaching-out-through-love?lang=eng.

  dubstepped said it perfectly!

  Shunning does not make ones want to return. The JW's just can't get that!

  so after the 2 special pioneers visited i thought i had given them an earful about the arc and the pedophile problem in their organization surely they would have put me on the do not call list.. oh, no not my luck i get an elder and his lovely little mute wife with infant child in the stroller this morning at 9 am.

  don't these people have a job to go to?

  it was a car with 3 men & a woman.. we go through the standard do you read the bible yada yada, i tell them i know the routine very familiar with your game.

  I wonder if the would let you "stay in the boat" if you gave NO money?

  Me thinks NOT!

  The only truthful thing the JW's have stated..."religion is a snare and a racket."

  "do not go beyond the things written"

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  thanks to bu2b and splash who mentioned this quote in another thread!.

  but i thought it deserved a thread all of its own, such is the impact of this:.

  the very best example of going beyond the things written comes from a 2008 watchtower.

  I know what you mean. They constantly go beyond what is written.

  It reminds me of the Regional Convention program. One talk is titled "Shun unrepentant ones" and the next talk is "Be Forgiving." You just have to laugh!

  JW's the BIGGEST HYPOCRITES EVER!

  My brother died last night

  by LisaRose in

  2. friends

  i found out this morning that my brother died last night, he was also an ex jw, 73 years old and died of heart disease and kidney failure.

  it was not totally unexpected, as he had been in poor health, but it's a blow, especially as i just lost another brother two years ago.

  there were six of us, now only four.

  The Big House Forced Exodus

  by ttdtt in

  2. scandals

  long video i guess addressing the many hard feelings of people getting the axe at brooklyn and other facilities.. the gist is - thanks for your help, don't let the door hit you on the way out.

  or scripturally saying - "keep warm and well fed"p.s.

  they are admitting that the are letting older ones go.. http://tv.jw.org/#en/video/vodprogramsevents/pub-jwbrd_201605_5_video.

  The "funniest" part of the entire talk. The entire outline was dealing with change and changes are good. Then at the end, he stated we know Jehovah is always there for us. He never changes! Huh! Jehovah never changes? Well his org. sure does!

  They don't care how the ones are "warm and well fed." The only thing they are worried about is that they themselves are "warm and well fed."

  So many gave up careers, kids, marriage, etc., to sacrifice and spend their lives in Bethel service. Now where are they to return? Back to the congregation, for the rank and file to take care of. Like others have mentioned, the money and benefits only go one way...to the top. So much for the sacrifice.
