  Did you ever know a JW who was political?

  by wolverines in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  one black sister would always slam the jews when there was anything on the radio or tv about the palestinian's.

  i knew others who had other ideas that were strange and not neutral as we were told to be.

  the black sister would dress like she was from africa in a dashiki robe from time to time.

  My jw claims not to be political but can't help running commentary on political issues when the news is on. Can't help 'sharing' his opinion on damn near everything. I once told him he was the most political person I knew, yeah, that didn't go over well as you can imagine.

  The first thing that is amusing is that he, as a jw, is concerned that she somehow got his number and was a bit disturbed that she wouldn't tell him her last name! Hello kettle...... on to listen to the rest if I am able.

  Not one of them are willing to have an actual conversation. As soon as they can't answer they 'have to go'. But we all knew it would go that way.

  Unwise to give their personal address to strangers?! yet they have our addresses and more?! How can a jw not see the double standard here? They send unwanted material to complete strangers and we can't know who they really are? My jw has a fit when he finds out I have been "talking" to apostates online because they are 'strangers' and you don't know if they are for real blah, blah, blah. How is it any different when they are writing to strangers?

  Food Boxes given out by Society

  by JustChillin in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  anyone else get a food box delivered by local congregation to your door - allegedly by the society?

  weird.

  i looked online and found a couple of youtube channels saying the society is taking food from food banks and giving it only to their congregations.

  Mine got one too, said it was from the cong, I corrected him and said it was a government program and it was meant for the needy. He said because there aren't many needy/poor people around here the cong distributed it among itself. My thought is, we have food banks around here and there are needy people everywhere. I'm sure the local food bank could have benefited with some fresh produce. There are some very wealthy people in his cong that really didn't need a food box of any kind.

  JW.ORG delivering food to JWs in California

  by NikL in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so a couple of weeks ago my wife (who is an active jw) got a delivery of apples, oranges, potatoes, carrots and onions.. the story i heard was that the "branch bought a bunch of food that would go to waste and was delivering it".. i am in california and a friend of mine in another cong.

  50 or so miles away had the same thing happen.. a few days ago we got another delivery and as a matter of fact my wife was asked if she could "help jehovah with delivering his gifts".

  unfortunately she is in poor health and unable to so so.. anyway, the story seems fabricated to me and i am wondering what is really going on.. does anybody have any ideas?

  If it is in an area where it really is not needed they should donate to a local food pantry. Yeah, I know, when pigs fly.
