Just Offended A JW Cart Witness Without Even Trying

by pale.emperor in

on my way into town from my office.

two carts set up a few feet from each other.

one manned by a man and woman (i assume they're a couple) in their late 30s.. the guys walks off to the other cart as im walking by, i wasn't going to approach but the woman holding the awake!

What a jerk!

I don't see witnesses very often, but I would love to ask them about Lot. So after his wife was turned to salt. His daughters supposedly got him drunk and then had sex with him. After they answer with Jehovah allowed this blah blah. Then I want to ask if one of their members got drunk and had sex with two women what would happen? Would he be excused because he was drunk? Did Lot not realize that he was getting blitzed? Would the family be held up as an example?

I travel for work, so waiting to run into them!

"Only Witnesses demonstrate Christian Love"

by Jules Saturn in

so a couple of nights ago i was speaking with a relative and we began talking about the organization.

i had to asked her "why do you believe that this religion is the correct one?

" they stood quiet for a second but then said that they view and feel genuine christian love, a type of love that is spoken about in the bible.

just fine

Pffft - Christian love my ass. The disfellowshipping and shunning alone show there is no Christian love in that cult.

The WatchTower conductor lied on stage

by Isambard Crater in

on sunday morning in the watchtower study, a "study" who was their for the 1st time put his hand up and said; "i have a question.

when the paragraph says give up everything, it doesn't really mean give up everything like the pearl merchant, does it, like be willing to lose my modest house, cheap car and other basics i own?

i mean, that sounds a bit much".. the watchtower conductor said in response; "no, it's just a parable and it doesn't mean give up everything.

just fine

Funny after everything - you are still surprised they lie. They will lie about any of their beliefs to people they are trying to recruit.

Liars lie, it's what they do.

My husband was joking with me one day and he said something like

Eat birthday cake? God will kill you

Give Christmas presents? God will kill you

buy a two door car? God will kill you

fornicate? God will kill you

smoking? God will kill you

the whole religion can be summed up with god will kill you 😀

Compelling reasons to join or go back or God will kill you.

another one: my husband is Catholic. He said you can't scare me with that stuff. Catholics go to hell for all eternity - all you got is god kills you? That doesn't sound so bad. 😀

Sneezing in the presence of non-JWs

by compound complex in

greetings, cold and allergy sufferers:.

i'm in good health currently, but i do sneeze quite a bit, bringing down the rafters, as one sister exclaimed at the kh.

apart from that, no jw ever acknowledged my clearing out .

just fine

I have the same issue sneezing 10-15 times in a row. My workmates tease that they won't bless me until I am done. Lol.

Ridiculous (degrading) comment on society's video

by Festus in

on video "benefits of divine education" william samuelsson makes totally appalling comment.. starting from 3:05 he refers to "an effort" that was made in past to see how society's curriculum corresponds with normal - worldly - universities.. then he claims that following question was asked (to university representative) "how we in five months can teach the same that for them takes two years"?.

according to w samuelsson the representative of a university replied something like this: "your students are motivated, they have come to learn where as our students have been send to university by their parents and might have something else than learning in their mind".

this is to crystallize what he said.

just fine

As with all Watchtower "experiences" there is no mention of what university representative said this. It's just a nameless, faceless, generic university representative. It's laughable that they would even compare the two, but when you keep your followers purposefully uneducated and villify higher education, you have to do something to appear superior.

I didn't take any believe in fairly tale classes at the University I went to.

A Short Life Story - Part 4 (Finale)

by pale.emperor in

a continuation from part 3, which is here: https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/4807117397557248/short-life-story-part-3#!#4918071166763008.

my wife had settled into a routine of waking up at 6am each day, cleaning (so no chance of a lie in for me or our daughter with the vacuum cleaner going), eating very little, picking the skin off her lips while she sits there in a trance obsessing over things that are out of our control and dont matter anyway.

she never did return to work.

just fine

I still remember when you first came here and am so happy you have thrived since leaving the cult behind. It's not easy to untangle yourself from it, but is worth every bit of pain.

🍺to sunny days ahead
