this week, one of my adult students told me a jehovah's witness knocked on her door and said he was there to teach her about "travel and tourism.
" not realizing who or what he was, she listened further and he went on to say that god had a reason for natalie halloway's disappearance.
at that point she told the old geezer she wasn't interested and closed the door.. i told her she should have asked him to ask god how to get the lowest prices on airline tickets.
Dune,
Are you kidding? Women hitting on you?! You either have a very high opinion of yourself or you were in nut house. I find it nearly impossible for anyone to be hitting on someone trying to sell god on their doorstep. Were they plastered? I don't mean any offense, I find it incredible that it could really happen. What part of town were you in? Maybe they were ladies of the evening trying to sell you something?
jehovah's witnesses turning 85 jay st. into big park?
for a religious organization with such good-natured followers as michael jackson, a lot of people sure are curious about what the jehovah's witnesses are up toespecially in dumbo/vinegar hill.
some time has passed since the announcement of their 85 jay st. plans, the plans that terrified so many, with little action on the plot of land (above).
Well if it's going to be a park, every park needs a few statues. How about a nice big replica of Russell's grave stone?
iam confused about the requirement for field service time.
what are the scriptures that reference a preaching work that will carried out by ordinary people.
is there scriptural backing?
dfed,
I think it is yet another hypocritical opinion of yours to be giving jgnat a hard time when you think she has not answered you sufficiently when you still have not commented on my question, do you find it disturbing that your org could confuse Jesus with Satan? I have also seen quite a few instances where you do not answer when the going gets a bit tough for you.
What makes you think I am a 'follower' of jgnat? What exactly does that entail? You maybe don't understand it is a bit of a joke for non jw's when jw's pull out the H word on us for not believing in some sillyness from the wt. Let the name calling begin! Name calling usually begins when the person no longer has a leg to stand on. or the ever famous change the subject and focus on your wrong doings in life. Instead of having a real discussion. That has been my experience anyway and what I have seen between jw's and nonjw's on the boards.
the michael changes post reminded me, how many times have the wt confused jesus with satan?
i know there are a few where first they said the person was jesus then satan then back again to jesus.
anyone know of a complete list?
So are you going to comment on the flip flops? Doesn't that worry you at all that they could confuse Jesus and Satan? Don't any of the flip flops make you wonder who's spirit is actually guiding the boys in Brooklyn?

Big deal! You could have quit smoking with a 12 step program or the patch or the gum, whatever. Same with drinking. Swearing? Upgrade your vocabulary. How about all the jw's who do all those things while being a jw?
I notice you had no comment where the wt confused Jesus with Satan. Maybe it's just me but, I have a real problem with any org that claims to be Christian and get Satan and Christ confused.
Any changes you have made in your personal life were not due to any personal choice or moral decision on your part. It takes alot more courage to make changes when nobody is looking and you still do it. When nobody is there to punish you and your family if you don't. It takes more courage to rely on God to help with making changes than to rely on men who are watching everything you do. It takes courage to really examine your beliefs and org that you belong to, be it a church or a hall. It takes more courage to accomplish something when you know there will be no pat on the back from a bunch of smiling fakes that only will befriend you if you believe exactly as they claim to. It takes courage to lay down your life for a friend as Jesus did something no jw would ever do, not even for their own child. Courage is not in the jw vocabulary.

oh,oh, jgnat, he used the H word on you! Now isn't that loving of him. He is writing you off. Seems that anytime one makes a jw think or challenge their thinking that is the response. They write off people as unteachable because they themself find it to difficult to actually research and examine their own beliefs, yet they ask others to this everyday they knock on someones door.
i was checking outside about the trash to see if it had been taken out yet and left the door open so i could easily take the trash from inside , out.
as i was in the hall bathroom i hear the doorbell ring.
i peak around the corner wanting to pretend i am not here but alas i forgot to shut the front door.
How perfect! Now you can send her some really old stuff and ask her what she thinks, then send her some UN stuff. She is the one who wanted to do this so, why not? Find a few good flip flops and tell her how confused you are. But, no she can't come your home, email would be much better with kids and self being under the weather. just a thought.

Legolas, I forgot to say what excellent letters those were! carla
in conversations in the past with him, i have asked him if it was a 'right teaching' at the 'right time'.
his answer was,'yes, at that time it was a right teaching'.
then goes on about how 'we are known for changing', new light, etc.. goes on about how scientist change their view as they learn more.
ha ha Gary, maybe someone should start a new thread-analogies about trying to talk to a jw!

Dfed, you mean everybody who leaves goes on to smoke, and steal and basically become immoral in your mind? you too would not be able to tell right from wrong without the twelve men in Brooklyn to tell you how to live your life? Do you mean you are not mature enough to make basic decisions in your life? Please don't try to tell me it is all based on Bible teachings, teachings according to Gorp maybe. How can you go knocking on peoples doors and ask them to examine their beliefs and churches when you are unwilling to do the same? Because you don't mind being a hypocrite? Do not tell me you have looked into your org and truly examined it or otherwise you would have known what I was talking about and pointed me to where they made this 'little' mistake of confusing Jesus with Satan.
Hijacking thread? aw, I don't mind, feels like home! just kidding you. I know full well how these conversations go. I think the jw's do not really care about the flip flop on the Romans 'authority' issue, rather they care more that their org has 'special interpretation' powers and 'see, we admit mistakes'. They don't understand that they have been misrepresenting God for a long time. And then they can blame God Himself when they screw up, cause afterall, it's His org!
