  Jury duty???

  by Strawberryfieldsforever in

  1. jw

  i was just wondering if jury duty was considered taking part in the world.

  i just found out that my mom had jury duty a few months ago and went!

  i've never been a registered voter and thought you had to register to be called to jury duty.

  My devout JW mother-in-law did jury duty awhile back and it wasn't a secret or even a big decision. I don't think she knew she had a choice - she didn't want to do it because it was sex-related (and she is very squeamish) but there was never any concern over the religious implications.

  Although, the more I read, I think their congregation is more liberal in a lot of things, such as meeting attendance. Most of their young married dubs only come once or twice a month and are still considered good associates. Go figure. So maybe jury duty isn't a big deal. The good aspect of that, of course, is that they do not zealously pursue inactive ones. :)

  Aren't Dub boards better left alone?

  by PopeOfEruke in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we all agree that the internet will free thousands of good-hearted people from the clutches of the watchtower.. i think the more jw discussion boards there are, the more jw's will get on the internet initially to use the boards then hopefully they will branch out and maybe the god of google will view them favourably and help them in their eye-opening.. so i think its a bit sad that witness world has closed its doors.

  i don't think its a good idea to infiltrate the jw sites if it means the administrators end up closing the site.. agree/disagree anyone???

  at least be thankful you get the chance to post on a question which hasn't been asked by bloody minimus!!

  Certainly.

  When I still had lurking privileges at WW, they posted a letter from PLN to WW. Apparently the mods at PLN were pissed that WW was bashing on them. From what I gathered, WW didn't like PLN because everyone at PLN just wanted to talk about dating and were only interested in finding mates. It was also a bit too restrictive, I think. (I can't even imagine.)

  So PLN basically wrote to the WW mods and said, "Tell your kids to be nice to our kids or else we're telling!! And we won't talk to you anymore 'cause you guys are big poop heads." Or something to that effect. (It was very lengthy and included a lot of scripture quotes... gag). Their feelings were hurt and therefore they weren't going to let WW members onto PLN anymore. A couple WW members (and mods) were banned from PLN because they were big meanies and hurt PLN's feelings.

  So then people at WW got upset and started throwing sand... wait, no, that was recess at the elementary school. No, WW people said, "We were never mean! Stupid PLN people!" and pouted. They were then reminded to be nice because we are all brothers and sisters.

  That was all I heard about it. Sounded to me like a bunch of 6-year-olds, so I didn't read some of the posts on it.

  Hope that helps!

  That must have been funny. I know my husband gets a kick out of telling people he used to be a dub, especially since he's a political science grad student. Doesn't really fit!

  1. Long, healthy, happy life for myself and the people I love;

  2. A true spirit of kindness in humanity that is NOT there out of fear of being destroyed by an almighty god (I love you! Don't kill me! blech)

  3. The superpower I had always dreamed of: The power to find anything, to know where anything is -- anything from my car keys to a missing child to darn WMDs in Iraq (if there are any). Think of the problems I could solve!

  Is it that bad? I wondered what all the hype was about (besides Jennifer Aniston)... didn't look like that special a movie to me from the masses of previews -- especially since it's coming on the heels of such blockbusters as Return of the King.
