This is so obviously God's organization, hey? I wonder if those poor old folks got reimbursed from the society when that prophecy turned into bullshit.

KM in 1974 praising people for selling all their stuff and pioneering?
by ithinkisee insomeone on this site mentioned they got a km off ebay that praised those that sold all their belongings and preached.. does anyone know which km that was?.
interesting, when going through the society's cd-rom i noticed that the drama for the district convention in 1975 was about noah's ark and was something along the lines of "there's still time left!
" (i'm paraphrasing).. -dm

just more b.s.
by stopthepain ini just got off the phone with a elder friend of mine.he's one of those borderlline elders who doesn't shun me.i called him to ask about a family matter that he knew about.the conversation soon degenarated into an aregument.i asked "where does it say in the bible to brainwash children and send them door to door to sell magazines.
" his reply was "bring your children up in the mental regulating of jehovah" and "jesus gave us a command to preach,and we should show are children that".i'm really heated right now.i'm amazed how this religion has an answer for everything,always have to be right.couldn't just say,"yeah ,maybe a child should grow up first ,then choose if they want to ebarrass themselves,oops,i mean preach.
"i hate that religion,with every fiber in me.more of the same bullcrap.

If I were you I would just ask the condecending moron to please stop contacting me. You don't need his shit, and if he doesn't want to grow out of ignorance that ITS HIS PROBLEM and he can live with it. Who gives a crap, live you're life.

The 'Thinking'
by GetBusyLiving inbefore i had disassociated myself i went through a period of missing meetings (go figure) and i was lurking around sites like this for quite a while, reading ex-witness books, and doing a lot of reseach into the bible itself.
i got an email from my best friend that was in my hall who was wondering what was up and if i was 'discouraged'.
i told him that i had been reading up on the wtbts and that i had been feeling like shit because i wasn't sure what i was doing with my life, still hanging onto some dream my parents had that was demonstrably messed up.

He proceeded to puke back a bunch of Watchtower rhetoric about apostates and that 'it is best not to listen to them, they have a subtle way of influencing the thinking', ect.

Both the Watchtower and "You Know" are wrong, wrong, WRONG!
by Schizm inwill people who die at armageddon really be finished forever?
yes, the scripture says that they will be "killed" but not thrown into the lake of fire.
but what about the scripture at revelation 17:8?

What was your favorite thing about service?
by Dustin ini used to love break time.
especially if it was afternoon service, and we stopped at taco bell.
i used to be damn good at eating tacos in the car without spilling anything.

Coffee breaks were always fun and getting to work in the same car group as some girl I was interested in flirting with was okay I guess. The congregation gossipers were also really funny, but I concur, they did talk shit about me behind my back as well.

JWD flyers on cars at KH's
by ko38 in.
what if we all printed up some flyers advertising ..........seek the truth about the truth.go to jw.com for the answers to questions youv'e had or may have.read articles from the watchtower that the society hopes you will never find.. could we legaly put those on their windshields during a meeting?im sure we could do it at least once,and then if asked to leave comply with their wishes.its a well nown fact that out of 100 or 1000 or 100,000 that some will take the bait and check it out just due to human curiousity.. if we all started using the same informal preaching as them such as dropping flyers at laundry mats and phone booths and grociery stores etc you would think it would catch on.i havent counted all the members of this board and how many countries are represented but it sure looks like a lot to me.. what do you guys and gals think?..............ken

The best idea I heard was a billboard that simply said "607 B.C.E?" outside of an assembly hall. There was also a link to an internet site on the bottom.

Hey, sorry if I sounded harsh on my last reply to this post. Its just I went for wings with a friend of mine that is a born-again Christian and he told me, very politely, that if I don't become a Christian that I am going to burn in hell. Im just really tired of these kinds of, imo, stupid belief systems.

Believe what you want. I personally have decided to give a big ole' middle finger to all of that bull-shit. Any God that allows thousands of children to rot on beach from dying in a tsunami can go fuck himself.
