Watchtower pays out of court settlement, big time

Dire consequences, too, were implicit in the strategy employed by two Melbourne men a couple of years ago. They courteously invited their visitors inside and offered them - in the spirit of politeness - some lovely homemade biscuits. They failed to mention, however, that the warm and enticing cookies contained rather a lot of cannabis.

Now that's the way to go If I ever have some advance warning of a nice friendly elders visit, I will have to prepare them a special batch of the Cape's 4:20 brownies. Let's see them keep a straight face spewing out their dogma with a nice buzz going on.

I don't understand the big news! can blondie or someone do an idiots guide?

by Crumpet in

please can someone summarise the big news or put it in plainer english?

i've rushed home from work anxious to hear it, read it and still don't understand the ramifications for the borg of this.

it could be because my head is spinning from work or i am just plain stupid....from what i've read the impact isn't going to have my family throwing down their watchtowers and realising they love me more, but hat was my own particular pie in the sky.. also how do we get it so that it comes up on google so that anyone wanting to know about jws and blood come to this news straight away.. dunce-crumpet.

Well said, Mcsemike! Those who want to wake up from their cult coma will. Those who arent willing to wake up wont.

Awaking from the coma is a wonderful and freeing experience that scares the shit out of most JW's

THE NEWS IS BIGGER THAN DATELINE, BBC, CBC, ETC.

by AndersonsInfo in

if i told you that something bigger is on the horizon than dateline, bbc, cbc, sunday (australia), and all other tv programs which exposed the sexual child abuse cover-up by watchtower in 2002-2003, would you believe me?

have i ever misled you?

i'll answer that--no!

Have you seen the way everyone dresses? Awfully Tony for a mining camp don’t you think. No, the die is cast; we will be as big as San Francisco in a few years and just as important...

Thanks Undercover for the correct quote. Now I want to go home and watch the movie!

Undercover,

In the words of Doc Halliday in "Tombstone":
"Gettin' a little head of ourselves, aren't we boys? After all, this is just another mining camp."

“Have you seen the way everyone dresses? Awfully fancy for a mining camp don’t you think. No, the die is cast; we will be as big as

Not sure if that is an exact quote, I'm just going off the top of my head. I agree with you about the rest of the world not caring, and it's nice to meet someone else who quotes tombstone.

What Did YOU Give Up For The "Truth"???

by minimus in

jw
friends

did you forfeit a college education, a great paying job which would've kept you from the meetings, a career, a trade, your loved ones, a vacation, etc.

so that you could be a good little witness?

claytoncapeletti

I gave up a relationship with my father, because he was going to die during the big "A". He was a good man and I looked elsewhere in the hall for father figures when I had a good one of my own. Also I gave up playing football for my High School, I was pretty good during my pop warner days but High School football would have interupted my meetings and field service. What an asshole I was!!!

Did Jehovah tell the first lie?

by nicolaou in

did god lie to adam?

the watchtower, and in fairness all other christian groups, claim that satan told the first lie when he told eve, "you positively will not die".

but was it a lie?

claytoncapeletti

Thanks Jeffro

The narrative in John chapter is a day-by-day account (John 1:29, 35, 43; 2:1), and on the third day, Jesus is in Cana of Galilee at the wedding. According to Matthew 4, Luke 4, and Mark 1:11-12, Jesus immediately went into the wilderness and fasted.

There is a M.S that works for me and I am going to give this to him and ask him to explain how "God's Word" is wrong.

Jeffro

Then there's that whole bit about Satan trying to get Jesus to disobey Jehovah. According to the Gospel of John, Jesus was actually at the wedding in

Can you please post the scriptures that back that statement up. I would love to have those in my arsenal.

Thanks

Listen to a FUNNY CHRISTMAS SONG ABOUT JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES!!

by DUSTYROZE in

listen to this funny christmas song called "no christmas for the jehovah's witness" at: .

http://www.harraway.com/no_christmas_for_jehovahs_witness.html .

it really describes what it's like growing up without christmas as a jw kid in a very comical way.

claytoncapeletti

Ain't it the truth though, I hated X-Mas time growing up. My mom's rational was "it's okay, you get gifts all year round" Its okay now, cause even though I dont believe in the whole X-MAS b.s, I am creating new traditions and memories with my family. I always say that I hate X-Mas, but I think it's just jealousy over never having one while I was growing up. My kids will never feel that way!

----You might be a Jehovah Witness if----

by TopHat in

this was sent to to me by a pioneer sister a few months ago when i was still a dub----we both had a good laugh .

jeff foxworthy on jw's

claytoncapeletti

My 2 favorite ones are

If you go to Home Depot and go down the aisle where
doors are displayed, and you feel compelled to knock on them

If you think "formal clothing" and "Civic Center" belong in the same sentence

Some of those seem like Jeff Foxworthy has a good knowledge of how JW's behave.

Do you have a nickname?

by ButtLight in

jw
friends

dont ask me why, but my family and friends call me "skinner"!

how about you?

i know a few who have several different ones.

My JW friends use to "The Cape", which I got after a long night of drinking caused me to be unable to spell my previous nickname "Cappy". I never liked Cappy that much, but The Cape caught on with everyone and pretty soon that's all that people would know me by.

Good times, brings a smile to my face and some fun memories, it's the only thing I miss from the "Borg"
