Elders reading coasters postings for judical reasons

by coaster in

elders, please know my many dificulties for the past 16 years and the emotional toll it has taken on me.

anybody else get theirs yet?

i have to take my wife out to dinner before i open it up- can't wait.

it was shipped bound printed usps rate, which is sometimes slow.

Dammning stuff indeed, but as usual this will not be viewed by any JW's so it won't have that big effect on them. First thing my mother told me when I mentioned this CD was that she doesn't need to look at any proof from someone else she has enough proof of her own.

Need LOGICAL PRESENTATION that FDS is BS- talk w/2 elders wanting to help

my best friend showed up where i work to see what's going on with me.

i haven't called her since she told an elder at my hall that i was falling out of the truth, little does she know i've fallen and i don't want to get up.. i told her i had now done my research and i absolutely don't believe it.

she said she didn't want to hear my apostate stuff.

Waste of time IMO. Why not just move on with our life, instead of wasting your time trying to reason with people who will not see it your way no matter what?

I don't think there will ever be a non-biased JW entry on Wikipedia without either side complaining about it. On one side the JWs will complain that there are people just trying to put in negative information, while the non-JWs will be complaining that there are changes made to only point the positive side.

i recently returned from a vacation to washington dc.

while there i went to the holocaust museum.

i was sitting in the lobby area waiting for my ticket time to enter the main exhibit and doing some people watching.

Same people who sell crosses. "Identify yourself with an object that represents Jesus death for only $1."

The most ironic Watchtower quote - proving they are not directed by Jehovah

by jwfacts in

there have been many ironic watchtower quotes, things written about others that apply perfectly to themselves.

this is my favourite as it is proof that the watchtower is not directed by jehovah and not preaching truth.

true, there have been those in times past who predicted an end to the world, even announcing a specific date.

R6Laser

I've brought up these points with family still in and a typical response from them is. "Why are you going so far back to find those quotes, now is different and you won't find anyone mentioning any dates." So no matter what most of them won't even look at this and see it our way.

How would Nancy Grace react to Barb Anderson's CD?

by ARoarer in

i can just hear her ranting against wt

R6Laser

LOL, she looks like an ex-gruntled exJW with an axe to grind, so she might fit the bill.

WHY BARB DID WHAT SHE DID.

by seven006 in

i posted this explanation on my old buddy outlaws thread, barbara read it, sent me a pm, and asked me to post this all over the internet because she wanted people to know why she produced the cd.

ya,.. sure barb, like little bit of flattery will get me to become a cut and paste monkey..again.

not this time you evil breaker of watchtower balls.

Good to hear that there are some out there that want to spread the truth without being vindictive.

Since when?!!!!

recently one of my brothers sons who is a 22 yr old jw mentioned to me rather excitedly that he just got back from ozzfest 2007, telling me him and his gf who is also a jw (elders daughter) rocked to bands such as "ozzie ozbourne" "lamb of god" "three inches of blood" and "static x" to name a few.

i was astounded by his "revelation" that he and his gf among many other younger jw kids attended this event with jw parental consent.

i remember when i was growing up around the jw religion even mentioning the name of ozzie ozbourne was reason for a trip to the back room for a "talk" with the elders.

I'm actually dumbfounded by the opposite, By those that did everything that was said from the platform. On congregations I went young people would go to concerts all the time. They would even go after the Friday night meetings and go to clubs or parties afterwards. Its like almost everything in life you actually do have a choice to do what you wanted. To put it simply if there was something I wanted to do, I did it no matter what was said from the platform. And from what I could see that's how the majority of witnesses would do things. Of course you would have 1 or 2 real fanatics that did abide by every freaking rule, but those you could just avoid.

% of JWs with sub-prime mortgages. Any clue as to how many will be evicted?

by uwishufish in

jw

any experiences or tales of woe about jws who were sold a soon to be overpriced mortgage on a home they could not afford on janitors wages?.

R6Laser

What a stupid question. By the same token how many ex-JWs with sub-prime mortgages, any clue on how many will be evicted? Or how many JWD forum members with sub-prime mortgages, how many will be getting evicted?
