  Talked to Two More Witnesses Today

  by new light in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it was the same booth as last week, with two different witnesses.

  once again, i printed off the list of false prophecy quotes and walked up to them.

  i asked if they were aware of the organization's history of unrealized predictions.

  Are you an "out of the closet" atheist?

  by rebel8 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm atheist and not ashamed of it.

  however, it is so politically incorrect, especially where i live.

  i have a legitimate concern that being out of the closet too much will hurt my career or neighborly relations--i know for a fact it probably would.. i'm really cautious about who i tell.. how about you?

  Finally Gave My First Anti-Witness After 11 Years

  by new light in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hello one and all.. the local jws had a booth set up at my university today and something just came over me.

  i went to a computer, found a list of failed prophecies, printed and stapled it, and walked over to the middle aged woman and the 10-ish years old girl.

  the woman said "if you are interested in anything, take it for free.

  The Hapless Householder

  by new light in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the stupid helpless householder is a classic jw archetype.

  look at any example of an official jw presentation: the householder is frequently good-hearted, but mystified and disappointed by world events.

  the helpless householder loves the bible, but has been mislead by the evil clergy and worldly attitudes.

  Do you believe that we are living in the last days, and why?

  by new light in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it has been a long time.. thanks to jw.org, i was reading some jw material (what does the bible teach i believe).

  it was the first time reading a "book study" book in many years and i was blown away by the controlling, cultish writing.

  this question especially struck me as manipulative: do you believe that we are living in the last days, and why?.

  a friend of mine recently had his co visit and in the elders meeting the co out-right asked the question: how are the friends doing in your cong.

  Would you pay $600 to see The Stones?

  by littlerockguy in

  2. current

  i can't believe the prices of concert tickets these days.

  the rolling stones is starting their tour this year in los angeles tonight and some of the floor tickets are as high as $600!!!

  they were in little rock back around 2005 or 2006 and the most expensive ticket back then for their show was $300.

  Vengeance Dad Meme--I think I want to do some JW-based ones...

  by sd-7 in

  2. humour

  i was just reading some random memes and came across this one.

  it's truly insane, but maybe my sense of humor is such that i laughed rather hard at quite a few of the ones using this photo.

  i was thinking, how could i adapt this one to jws?
