  some jw's at my daughters door saturday morning.

  they said nothing, nada, zip, zero, and just passed the mags to her and left.

  is there no interaction any more?

  Asshole Atheism – Not for me, now or ever.

  by donny in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  to start off with let me clarify that by asshole atheism i am not referring to strong atheism or any other type of upfront atheism.

  what i am referring to is the belligerent, hateful atheism that smacks of trolls and other types who want to derail conversation or comments at any cost..

  i enjoy hearing comments from both sides of the subjects of theism, nationalism or politics, especially from those who have intense opinions.

  Clambake:

  "Judging from friends and family, people who claim to have interest in Science , never really seem to have much of an interest in science outside of finding reasons to argue with religious people. It seems to more of a liberal arts thing, disguising itself in the guise of higher learning."

  You're a poor judge of character as far as posters here are concerned. l have had an interest in science since before I became a Witness at age 14. As cofty said "Reality is awesome".

  jw.org cart days numbered?

  by jookbeard in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  reading a report of an elder in a friends cong has been hiding and spying on the pioneers who seem to have a practise of dumping the cart and finding a local coffee shop, i've noticed that they do this in my local high street as well but this week they seemed to be all huddled around the cart, they've clearly been warned, a vast percentage of the time i see they seem to be more interested in fiddling with their mobile phones and gossiping, is just seems these carts are a means for the pioneers to turn in "easy time" i wonder what sort of figures show how much literature is being taken by the public?

  i bet its very minimal.

  naturally the gb would say they are a phenomenal success , we clearly know they are not.

  "The same kind of topics, the same mantra's , the same kind of views and thoughts etc. etc. Its just an endless repetition."

  Are we projecting?

  As for me, I believe that the Watchtower is here to stay for quite a while. That is not a sign of spiritual health though.

  Why does anyone lend any credibility to anything the Watchtower counts. Are they believers in their own deception?

  Mormon view of JW.ORG

  1. jw
  2. friends

  does anyone have any links to how the mormons (or ex mormons for that matter) view the changes that the wts has made over recent years, especially the growth of jw.org and characters like caleb & sophia?.

  have they noticed?

  do they see similarities?

  daringhart13: "I've never been more convinced that it takes a certain type of person to buy into this garbage"

  That means most of us at one time (minus born ins and a few others). There might yet be hope for half the Witnesses that are still inside the Kingdom Hall.

  So you're a pioneer. Do you count your time when you post on this forum? Serious question.
