my first reaction to this little tract is that it is the same thing we left at the doors in the 1970s during blitz campaigns just before armageddon in 1975. yes, we were told that the end of false religion was extremely close, and that we were stepping up our preaching activity which we expected to bring on a major round of persecution.
we were engaged in the final notification work of condemning false religion so that the few remaining sheep might get out of babylon the great just before the great tribulation was to start.. fast forward over 30 years: the jws are still blitzing the neighborhood with kingdom news tracts saying that the end of false religion is near.
what a sad and cruel joke!
What absolutly disgusting hypocrisy! What nerve these Watchtower/Jehovah's Witness writers have in using a line like that above all the while their own religion is in the courts because this crime is woven throughout their organization like a never ending thread! The Jehovah's Witness writers and those Jehovah's Witnesses who print, publish and distribute this tract from door do door are disgusting, and clearly dishonor the name Jehovah and do not deserve to be called Christian by any standard. Any turning on religion just may have to start with groups like Jehovah's Witnesses who play such dishonest games with the general public and innocent children.
I agree that it's disgusting that the Watchtower would print this and then try to the fact that it goes on right in their own congregations. But be careful in condeming all witnesses. The majority of JW's out there have no idea what is going on behind the curtain. They believe they are in a wonderful religion that is loving and clean. They are truly blind to the truth about the "truth".
so said my brother to my mother the other day while she was in the hospital.
he asked her why i wasn't coming back to the "truth".
she suggested that i wanted to enjoy a worldly life of fun.
So his God is a bunch of old men living in New York.
I was under the impression that anyone can believe anything they like. I guess they want to tell us what we can believe now.
Wonder if he can back up that statement with scripture.
it all starts after you hear "these things we pray through jesus christ, amen".
i gather my books and the kid's books and put them away.
by that time people are walking over to us and talking to my wife and playing with my kids.
Wow, thanks for writing that. Even though I've never be DF'ed (left 10 years ago) you really opened my eyes as to how a DF'ed person feels at the meeting. I happy to say that I never shunned any of my DF'ed friends and we are still in close contact today. As for my "brothers and sister" at the hall, I haven't heard from any of them since I left.
I know I will be at home tonight thinking about what you are going through. Maybe I'll call one of my DF'ed friends just to say hi. Just remember that you don't need these kind of people in your life. Try to make some friend at work or in the community and see what real friendship is about. You'll never want to go back to "Jehovah's loving organization".
Good luck and hang in there.
oh, come on - somebody had to do this thread!
my stereo is rending xmas music as i type this - a wonderful celtic version of "the christmas song".
snow is flying outside my window - and i am getting in the xmas mood already.
Yep, already started the Christmas shopping. The wife and I were looking a pre-lighted trees the other day. Wow, they are expensive. Guess I'll just stick with the one we have. Can't wait till that special time of year.
i'm interested in developing a list of things jws are allowed to do that have "pagan" or otherwise "evil" origins in the eyes of the wts.
what types of things are you aware of?
so far i've got...... red lip stick (allegedly invented to distinguish prostitutes from non-prostitutes).
bridesmaids - meant to fool evil spirits when they came for the bride
eye makeup - used by pagan throughout history and only mentioned twice in the bible, both times used by evil ones. Hey isn't that what they say about birthdays?
i have lots of perfume.....love to smell good.. estee lauder.......pleasures.
eternity summer.

don't step on the ducks !!
three women die together in an accident and go to heaven.
when they get there, st. peter says, "we only have one rule here in heaven: don't step on the ducks!
And then there's the one about the three legged dog that walked into the saloon and said "I'm looking for the guy who shot my paw".
Get it? Paw. I kill me!!!
when the dubs say: "history shows that we are the only true religion, look only we preach the gospel to all the nations we do much more than all other christian religions put together.
" what do we say to them, it appears like an impressive record yet we somehow know it is false.
i note they no longer believe the end is necessarily near so what does all this preaching achieve?
Just ask the common person on the street about JW's and they will probably say the JW's don't believe in Jesus and don't celebrate Christmas. It just goes to show how effective their preaching work really is.
hey guys,.
i had the weirdest "kingdom hall" dream i've ever had last night.
so weird and fun, that i want to share it with you!
I looked down to find that I was already wearing a tie, but it was one of those thin 80's ties.
Hey, I resemble that remark. I had several of those. I remember them quite well.
I have to admit I was one of the sharper dresses teenage brother in my hall. Even had an electric blue double breasted suit that I wore with one of the cool thin 80's tie. I think it had piano keys on it. Ahhhhh, the good ol' days. Nothing like big hair and flashy clothes to say 80's.
