  Here's a funny JW comic...

  

  In fact, they print new funny comics every few weeks.

  Help me describe the idealized JW fantasyland

  based on the illustrations in the books & magazines, and the videos produced by the society, describe the world that the gb would like jws to live in.. for example.... -- parties never have more than 15 persons attending.

  entertainment consists of one chap playing a guitar while the rest sing kingdom melodies, followed by stimulating conversations of "field service experiences" and "how i came into the truth".

  -- children of all ages are perfectly well-behaved for the full 2 hours of a congregation meeting.

  ninja - you could play 'spot the neighbour' for a few weeks though.

  ''That's old Mr Jones''

  ''How do you know? it's only one leg''

  ''Zip-up slipper, I'd recognise it anywhere''

  Have to think of a new game once the 'cleaning-up' work is complete.

  The JWs in all those ''New World'' picures are all smiling. Well frankly I wouldn't be if I was carrying all last week's laundry on one shoulder and the obligatory basket of fruit and veg on the other.

  Sir82...Invisible Elves? Ooooh, is that like Magic? Because I was taught that God will miraculously dispose of all the decomposing and smouldering bodies after Armaggedon. I hope so, because it won't be a very nice sight for all the Dub-kiddies who will be the only kiddies to survive, because their Mummies and Daddies sold books which told fibs. Am I going off topic?

  Ah yes, the baskets of fruit which need to be carried around every day. They live in a Fairy Tale. Things I've NEVER heard said in a KH...

  ''I look forward to when God will destroy this Zanussi-tool-of-Satan at Armageddon - I dream of walking fifteen miles to wash my smalls in a stream''

  ''No Johnny, you can't have a hamster as a pet, that's what Wordly kids have. In the New Order you'll be playing with lions and wildebeests. How about we start you off with a skunk or rattlesnake now?''

  Hello ninja I'm still sniggering over the pound on a piece of string..

  There were LOADS of sex scandels in the OT too - bet the Dubs can't wait for the Resurrection so they can arrange a few JCs to get the nitty gritty.

  They'd welcome back all the resurrected of the Old Testament - then give them a few weeks to accept/catch up on the New Light before D'fing them.

  Since when can JWs do maths? No wonder they discourage education, that way the R&F have to trust the dodgy 'workings-out'. I asked a couple of Dubs (about 6/8 months ago) how THEY arrived at 1914,,,and just like the one I'd previously asked, the reply was that they DO know, but have forgotten, they'll get back to me...

  Isn't it awful that we have to think ahead about what may offend their Cult-Conscience? (And I'm SURE they play on it). They never consider that WE may be offended by having thoughts/beliefs different from theirs. I could cry for you LovesDubs. We're just dismissed.

  I was just looking at - 'The Secret of Family Happiness' published by the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York, Inc (online, on the WT Org site) lol - what a joke.

  ...and this letter jwfacts (thanks for that - saved) has posted link to.. http://www.swissbankclaims.com/PDFs_Eng/WatchTowerBible.pdf .. is disgraceful. The WTBTS ought be ashamed. How on EARTH can a corrupt organisation have the gall to claim compensation? They can't even disguise their greed in that letter, try as they might. I'd better shut up...I'm miffed now

  Absolutely - it must have been very courageous to make a personal stand, and the 1974 Yearbook states that 203 Jehovah's Witnesses were executed (although, isn't the WTBTS trying to claim compensation for more?) Yet, when reading the WT article, it looks as though they are trying to rewrite History. I imagine none of those 203 knew that their leaders were 'prostituting' themselves to the enemy.
