  Star Of Bethlehem To Appear July 3, 2015? Oh Really?

  this meeting in the sky is known as a conjunction.

  this conjunction between jupiter and venus usually isnt rare, but this is the closest they will have been in 2,000 years!

  together, they create the rare star of bethlehem.

  Dubs used to believe that Saaaatan made the Star of Bethlehem. He made a sign for the wise men to follow so Herod could find Jesus and whack him.

  Do they still believe that?

  Slow motion pioneers

  observing our local unemployed pioneers and how long they take to get to their first or next call, usually taking the longest route to get to one they know won't be there anyway.

  along the way it's gossipy this and that.

  pioneers?

  I was literally forced to pioneer and I never made my hours. Hated every second of it--torture. I was hoping to get kicked off the rolls but they never did. They even sent me to pio school.

  Was inactive and still was on the rolls as a pio. Finally when I said I am never coming back they asked for my pio ID card. I LOLd. I mean, what do they think I'm going to do with it, get discounts at IHop? Wierdos.
  

  I remember going in fs with pios from another cong and they deliberately did their RVs criss-crossing the territory to count their time while driving. The whole thing was a joke. Some people deliberately pretended to knock on the doors so no one would answer.

  Others would drive slowly or count their time while they were at service meetings by "starting their time" beforehand dropping off back issues at a laundromat. There was a big deal about "starting your time". It was a free ticket to do anything for the rest of the day, as long as you sprinkled some symbolic FS in there.

  there was a jw who was a born in and faded about 10 years ago near a congregation i attended.

  he never married or had children and was in his late 30's.

  his parents shun him for the most part but then he had a major stroke.

  Crisis Of Conscience In Audio Format?

  by dubstepped in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i'm just wondering if the book is available to be listened to in any format?

  i know that it can be found online and read freely, and i've been through some of it, but i just wondered if it was available in any other way.

  i guess it would be lacking some of the copies of articles and such that were in the original book, but it would still be interesting.

  Making and distributing copies of a full written work in any form without permission appears to be illegal. I am asking if permission has been granted. Seems to be a fair question, since people in this thread are openly stating they are doing it to circumvent paying for it.
  

  Quotes used for critical review or parody have nothing to do with my question.

  a friend just texted that she just now received a generic phone message from the witnesses to check out the 'best christian resource online at jw.(b)org!'.

  so this is what they're doing now?

  spam voicemail is going to make people like them better??

  "hot topic on topix seems to be candace conti settlement.

  but it's all quiet here.

  are you guys aware that your hero, who was not in it for the money but to change policies, settled without changing anything?".

  Well to be fair, maybe poster Nitty-Gritty did something more heroic than Candace.

  Just kidding. It's pretty much impossible. I guess then he should shut up.

  I'm not even reading that thread anymore. Sick troll.

  so ofs was at the wt this morning, and on par.

  14 the question was, "what trust can a faithful christian whose relative is disfellowshipped have?".

  after awhile when no one else raised their hands ofs did, and was called on.. ofs commented, "one of jw can have the trust that god will lovingly give them the ability to uphold the disfellowshipping arrangement by totally shunning family members.".

  I'm sorry, but website aside, what a f-ing liar. "We don't shun." There is no way that's even a little bit true.

  Songs celebrating leaving the faith? Not being a puppet, mind controlled, living life, etc etc

  by aley63 in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  i am looking for some songs that are in ref to celebrating leaving, seeing the light, realizing what you were told wasnt right, being happy w your life, etc etc.

  all those emotions about being controlled and repressed, being told what you can feel or think or how to live, blindly following the "brotherhood ".
