so, this a long story but i'll try to keep it short.
this was about 2years ago,.
my wife brought up the un thing to my parents, much to their horror and despite me advising her not to.
Has this happened to any one else?
Similar. It was a few years back when I mentioned it to a visiting JW. They told me they'd get back to me. They did. They (said that they'd) telephoned a relative in Bethel/Brooklyn (we live in England) and the answer was that it wasn't the Society, but a private individual (unbeknownst to the WTS) who had joined the library for personal use.
i use usualusername as i am not creative enough to think of anything sexier.... .
what significance is there behind your profile name?.
.
Mine is my nickname from when I was at grammar school. A friend commented I have yellow coloured eyes so must be a Midwich Cuckoo.
had two elders personally visit me today to deliver the rejection of christ memorial invitation.
they were hanging around the front gate for a while because our dog (labrador) woudn't let them in.. my wife let them in the yard / house.
when they asked if i'd be going i smiled and said "thank you for the invitation", then quickly changed the subject.
I haven't had an invite yet. I'm getting worried I've been overlooked.
today is my first time seeing a bag of dog poop on my yard.
i do not know who did it but i picked it up and i put it in the febreze trash bag then i threw it in my garbage can.
if i will ever find out who did it, what should i do?
Put it (the bag of dog cr*p) on their doorstep and set it alight - then ring their doorbell (and run away). They'll answer door, see a bag on fire on their doorstep and instinctively stomp on it to put it out. Old but classic.

It never gained converts, and it no longer produces income. But it is still important as a control mechanism.
True. Yet I bet JWs would disagree. I know JWs who have 'placed the magazines' with the same people for many years (20+), and those people have no intention of ever converting. Yet they are part of the 'magazine route'. They're classed as 'interested ones' (lol). A neighbour of mine has the magazines just because they don't like saying no (and I bet that's not uncommon).

I recall the when the book study ceased. It was announced on here some weeks prior to the official announcements at KHs. I told one (very active) JW about the upcoming announcement and they responded something like 'that would never happen, they'd never stop the book study' and dismissed it. On the day of the announcement, that JW knew what was coming (and told me afterwards).
Imagine if every JW in every congregation knew all these 'top secret' announcements a few weeks ahead of time?

I wonder how JWs would react gaining this information from a 'Worldly' source prior to its official 'release' from God's own organisation..?
just found online.
the first of several properties in brooklyn heights that were recently put on the market by the jehovah's witnesses has been sold.
the price paid was $7.1 million, slightly under its asking price, according to massey knakal realty services, the brokerage that was retained to sell three of the witnesses' buildings valued at a total of $18.45 million in the neighborhood.. the five-story, 20-unit elevator building at 50 orange st. was sold in an all cash deal, said robert knakal, chairman of the brokerage.
Blimey - and as a 'youth' I was taught the C of E is the biggest landowner in England - storing up treasures on Earth (while the Watchtower is a pauper). English JWs, I'm sure, won't be aware of the WT's 'property' in USA. Funny how they're ok about profiting from 'Worldly' people, while at the same time condemning them.
i'm pleased to announce that despite some considerable teething troubles (of which many of you will be aware!
), the 2011 survey of jws is back on the road!
there is no need for any donations, so none will be asked for in any way, shape or form.
...and I've filled it in too - can't recall seeing one previously
my local congregation has been in the news this week following a successful application for planning permission for a quick build.
a local vicar objected because the application described it as a building for "christain worship".. .
vicar fury at new home for jehovahs .
Love it Cofty - good luck! Pointing out the d'fing and subsequent shunning certainly supports Rev Knox's statement of 'not Christian' and hopefully, when your letter is published, readers will be able to see this.
