i saw an online post with pictures of all the witnessing carts all around the 9/11 site during the anniversary of the tragedy.... im appalled at how opportunistic they are, and how they prey on people in a mourning and vulnerable state!.
apparantly they boast of: "there are 65 carts, with 200 witnesses manning the area... and so far 15 new studies started!".
.
On the 1-yr anniversary, some evangelical group was there putting stickers on people's chests w/o asking. There was a group of foreign tourists taking pics, smiling broadly with the hole in the background, as if it was Niagara Falls.
Lots of people are totally tasteless, I guess. dubs are certainly not nicer than the rest of humanity, as they claim.

IMO this is the most hilarious thing since the masturbation video. It's just cracking me up. A Bible with a pool inside. Is it just me?
It's like a theme park is developing inside an assembly hall.
an atheist airman is being denied the ability to re-enlist in the us air force because he refuses to use the word god in his oath of office, according to the american humanist association (aha).. the unnamed member of the air force refused to take the oath containing so help me god, wanting a secular affirmation instead.
so he crossed out the phrase on his contract.
the airman was told by his superiors that he must swear to god or leave the air force, the aha said in a press release.
I'm grateful that many ladies picked their battles and won me the right to vote.
just interested in experiences any of you have had working for other witnesses or companies owned by witnesses.
i heard mutterings occassionally from other witnesses they would never work for another witness.
regardless of anything i said, the owner was adamant in his refusal to believe i had ever done anything more than being a delivery driver.
A very long time ago, yes. I got hired to be in sales and run the office. They asked me if I was dfd in the interview and said point blank they would not hire me if I was.
They weren't paying me the commission I earned--kept saying they would once they got caught up on their bills--so I was totally poor. I won a bunch of food from a vendor in a contest--I won it, not their company. The owner's daughter called the vendor to change the delivery date to my day off. I called the vendor to let them know the delivery didn't show up and they told me what happened. I confronted the owner (Elder) and he said they had a get-together and fed it all to their jw friends--he felt NO responsibility to compensate me at all.
Once I went on a business breakfast, in a restaurant, with a male vendor rep and the owners said I was not to be unchaperoned again like that or I would be fired.
They were HORRIBLE at running their business and it was near closing. So of course they hired a guy who had no skills to be a helper for me. And then they laid me off and kept him. He was a jw. They told me to come in and work for free while receiving Unemployment. I was really young and didn't know I wasn't supposed to, so I did it a few days and then didn't qualify for Unemployment for those days. Screwed again. (Employers are supposed to know this.) That food would have come in handy.
Never paid me the commission they owed me.
I think they went belly up.

I wonder if little kids get baptized in shallow pools shaped like Awake! magazines.

Hi itsme.
every time they change something they say it loud and clear
Usually they just state the opposite of the previous teaching without saying, "We're changing something." Many examples here--look these up in publications to verify for yourself.
When did they say loud and clear that they changed these things, for example?
I've read publications from many decades, and I cannot remember one instance of the wts saying, "Hey, we changed our beliefs." Not once.

Is it possible you are looking at the past with rose-colored glasses?

Oh my god. NOW I have seen everything.
so we went to calgary zoo today and i'm torn between zoo's being great for conservation vs using animals to make money.
i think on the whole they are a good thing but it's sad to see some of the animals caged up - somehow i always end up staring into the eyes of a gorilla and it makes me sad.. but that isn't what struck me ... it's these things:.

I agree--it's nice to see wildlife rehabs when animals have been injured (if treated nicely) and perhaps a few who are protecting animals from hunting. Most zoos I've been to are not like that and I think I'm done visiting zoos.
But then, most of us are sensitive to creatures not being free.
yes the god of the bible has done his share of being a murderous bully(according to the mythology found in the book), his holly motto seems to be through out: "do what i say or i will kill you".
of coarse cringing christian's because of their fear of the deity will proclaim that all these acts of slaughter that the bible ascribes to god as an act of love, and chime in with approval and superlatives when 1john 4:8* is read.
and i atribute it mainly to god being a bully in the bible and threatening to kill every one not having faith in him.. 8 l anyone who does not love does not know god, because m god is love.. .
So you believe mass murder, slavery, rape, torture, misogyny, etc. are needed to keep order?
Holy cow. Wonder why he made a species that can only be kept in line by such savagery. What does that say about him?
