The Preaching Method Has Flip-Flopped Again
by pale.emperor inim currently reading a book called jehovah's witnesses: portrait of a contemporary religious movement (https://www.amazon.co.uk/jehovahs-witnesses-portrait-contemporary-religious/dp/0415266106).the researcher is a social scientist, was never a jw, who studied with the witnesses solely to write this book.
his research has been quite thorough and objective which is commendable.he mentioned in the book how rutherford didn't want his colporters (pioneers) giving their own sermons or bible interpretation, but instead he had them going door to door with his records.
(i have some converted to mp3, they're very boring).

Which is better minimum wage or minimum income?
by hoser inwe were having this discussion in the office the other day and we came to the conclusion minimum wage is better because it still adds to the economy vs minimum income which someone could potentially stay at home and do nothing and still get paid without producing a thing for the greater economy.. thoughts?.

Its so insane. The belief that the government can or should take care of people... its utopian wet dreams that always lead to dystopian realities

"Go and tell someone who cares...I dont care!"
by stuckinarut2 ini don't usually like the confrontational approach to those on the carts, however this video is a great example of how jws do not really care about child abuse issues!.
the arrogance of this brother is disturbing..... bear with the video.
it gets really interesting around the 6 min mark, where the brother loses his cool.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5chulnnyqs.

Stuck, i dont know... the witness asked him 3 or 4 times after the apostaclown repeated his child abuse speech ‘ok so what do you want?’ It was a reasonable question. The exjw made his speech now what did he expect...? I was wondering the same thing. All the ex would say is ‘ thats avoiding, you tell me’
Did he expect the witness to cry and say ‘oh my god this so awful!!!!’ The witness also said he wasnt aware of the case the ex cited... and why would he be? Its a case from the USA, california. Hell if it wernt for this board i wouldnt be aware and i live in the usa.
In the end it was typical gotcha style confrontation that was destined for failure. As usual it was all about the ex feeling good becuase he confronted a witness. *slow clap*. It would have really been so much more effective to ask a question or two and plants some seeds. He already aaid he harassed some other ex jws earlier in the week so he has time to kill. Go back in a week or two and follow up. Really waking people up takes effort. Being a jack ass to make yourself feel better takes no effort.
he also kept saying “your following men!” Well yea.. but as former jw’s we all know thats not what we thought and why. Someone saying it is stupid and pointless. The whole thing was typically pointless and mindnumpingly arrogant on the part of the ex. It felt like more of the same ole same ole

Correct, pub record cards are local congregation only and frankly boring and pointless. Its a mere summation of your field service time and baptism date and home address. Its a 3x5 index card of numbers. There are no notes or any other information

Really slim? At best minimum income is stealing my money and giving it to someone else to sit on their ass. Society dosent work when people are rewarded for for sitting around.

Its a false dichotomy. Minimum anything sucks. Nobody should settle.
