I haven't attended any high school reunions because I'm embarrassed to see people who know I was a jw. Dubbery is embarrassing.

JW Records Request - United States

C Lynne, my suggestion is to think more about why you want the files--what bothers you about it? Maybe you can come up with a way to resolve that underlying issue without taking on a lawsuit you won't likely win even after lots of time and $.
Of course it's irritating on face value, but think about it--anybody can make a file on anyone else. The elders are just pathetic nobodies whose peers gave them a fake authority title, in a religion about an imaginary bearded sky daddy. What they write down is truly meaningless, once you distance yourself enough to see it for what it is.

Which site can I find a JW brother that matches me so I can marry only in the Lord?
by asiandiana00 ini am 30 and i am hoping to meet the brother who i will love me for me and would want to marry me.
i want to marry only in the lord but as the balance of brothers and sisters are not even and i am getting older as time goes by, im kinda a little panicky now.

One thing is certain--we should stick to the Society's own words when we want to know what they really teach/believe.
I hope you live through Armageddon, since marriage is important to you. Otherwise, you will be resurrected and permanently single.
Awake! 1999 10/8 p.11 Crossword Puzzle8. Jesus said that resurrected ones will not do this (Luke 20:35)
There is no reason now to overemphasize this matter.

May 2015 JW Broadcast, "The Watchtower Has The Most Multilingual Speakers in the World? True or False?
by RoyalFlushPhil instephen lett about 33 minutes in to may's "liar liar" episode of the monthly worship broadcast said "jehovah's witnesses have the most multilingual speakers of any organization in the world!".
the catholic church has the most people i thought, do you think he's telling the truth and where is he getting these facts?
i finally broke down and decided to watch this in order to work on my reverse witnessing skills, lots of ammunition for anyone needing fuel to extinguish their dirty flames of lies!.

If his claim is they have the most multilingual speakers, then the proof would require them to collect data on how many individual dubs use more than one language. It isn't just that they can, it's that they use 2 or more language in their lives. This is according to the definition of 'multilingual speaker'.
Do they collect such data?
The fact that they've translated bibles and all that other junk is irrelevant to proving this claim, though I'm sure they won't let that stop them.

Why do believers spend so much time trying to evangelize? Is it insecurity? -

Mother's day according to Joseph Rutherford
by opusdei1972 inthis is what the second president of the watchtower society, the channel of god appointed in 1919, wrote about the mother's day:.
satan would turn the people away from this beautiful symbol, and therefore from god, and cause them to disregard the word of the lord.
this he does in a very subtle way by organizing what in england and in america, the chief countries of christendom, is called "mother's day".

A sista I used to know said, "Every day is Mother's Day. Mother's day to vacuum, mother's day to dust, mother's day to cook.
So let me ask y'all this. Is this a holiday dubs are partly celebrating nowadays, like bdays and Thanksgiving? Or is the honoring anyone female still a total no-no?

Specific Comments By R&F About May Broadcast
by freemindfade ini know there are many posts discussing the may money requesting televangalism...er... broadcast i mean!
but i wanted to start one where anyone can put what they have heard any non-exjw, non-apostate witnesses say good or bad about the broadcast.
i don't see how it can't rattle followers... but then again i might be surprised how they can twist things (2+2=5).

Wow.
They used to have a short list of things that distinguished them from Babylon The Great. We can cross "asking for $" off the list for sure now.
They've backed off on 1914 recently too. What's left?

What is particularly interesting about the above medical directive is that it has the UN logo on it, and it refers to a United Nations Act of 2000.
Wow!
