Nephew’s JW Fiancée Begins Conversion to Judaism Due to Passover Date

by Rabbi Midge in

it’s been a while since i posted, but for those who remember, i came on here to get some information about jehovah’s witnesses because i have a nephew who was getting engaged to a girl who was a jehovah’s witness and, along with some other sites, i was recommended this one.. since then we’ve been busy with passover and jehovah’s witnesses have had something they call the memorial of christ’s death (i believe i have that right).

this clashing of the two observances apparently did more for this girl than anything else i ever saw in our months of conversations with her.. respectfully, jews do not proselytize.

these are people who, of their own desire, “join the tribe” after some years of study and practice--something this girl has just begun to do.

You said:

Respectfully, Jews do not proselytize. Yes, there are Jews-by-choice. These are people who, of their own desire, “join the Tribe” after some years of study and practice

You also said:

Reconstructionism views Judaism not as a religion but a community, a culture made up of art, food, music, philosophy, archaeology, history, science, mathematics, and a religion too

Perhaps you dont see the contradiction, but i think im seeing it as listener did. Shes a young girl searching for something, be it jwism or Judaism. I hope shes happy, but dont be fooled into thinking this some deeply thought out logical choice.

Well your girlfriend who is the head elder of finance should definitely be the final word 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

but wait you have 100 years of experiance with 501c3 that qualifies you.... apparently not as well as your elder girlfiend though.

You have zero credibility by your own admission.

James jack was dead on. There is no danger for the org in this.

Never a JW, I have no clue what type of docs you guys have besides you would never allow a woman to look at your books no matter how many degrees she has!!!

Theres a lot of problems with that reply. First, in admitting that you “have no clue what type of docs” the org has you invalidate your previous two cock sure posts. As i suspected, you know nothing for sure, you just wanted to sound smart and suggest a course of action that made you sound educated and ready to battle, but in reality was toothless and, at best, a hunch on your part that you have no real confidence in.

Second you used phrasing that is wrong and personally objectionable (flatly insulting) to me three times in one sentence. You said “no idea what type of docs YOU GUYS have” “besides YOU would never allow” “to look at YOUR books”. To be clear, i am not a represenative of the wtb&s or the desert witnesses in any respect. I am former member. Referring to me as some sort of a personal representative with any decision making authority is false and slanderous.

When the donations were made the checks clearly stated for XYZ project, then it must be used for XYZ project or returned. This will jeopardize their 501C3 tax exempt status.

Thats why they tell the dubs to not put a specific purpose on their checks. Also the majority of donations are not check but cash. This will not jeopardize their tax status, no matter how dishonest and dirty it was. Also also when they “donated” the money it was no doubt done by resolution and vote of all elder bodies involved. Even if checks were made to that specific fund for that specific reason the resolution by the represenatives of the congregations who donated is legal.

facts we don't want to know.

the purpose of war is to kill humans.. .

could be a much better influence on the world, by not exploiting the resources of weaker nations, propping up tyrannical dictators and regimes, and overthrowing governments.

Complete and total leftist propoganda bullshit.

Do any of the JWs go out door to door with a territory any more?

by Spiral in

i actually had a neighbor ask me that the other day (she knows i'm an "ex" jw) and i didn't really know the answer.

i know there's a bit of cart witnessing going on (small town) and a lot of driving around to return visits.. but are they actually doing territory, not-at-homes, all of that?

the neighbor said that eight years ago, when she bought her house, the jws were by "all the time".

_Morpheus

most of these pioneers spend a lot of time on the "trolley work"

This is only my observation but i think theres a lot of truth in that statement. Avg pubs dont a lot of effort in to cult recruiting.

Jehovah Misses Me

by Phoebe in

jw
friends

made the mistake of opening the front door today...i was expecting someone to service our central heating...oh dear, it was a sister instead :(.

she tells me jehovah misses me.

it seems god only sees me if i go to the meetings.

_Morpheus

Its so true. The only time i ever hear most of them say they miss me is when they need a favor or they miss me giving a talk (entertaining them)
