HOW MANY ARE REALLY TRUE TO ORGANIZATION TEACHINGS???

by chuckyy in

my experience since leaving the jw's, knowing certain ones who still have contact, is that many jw's in good standing have done, or are doing things that could merit expulsion.

celebrating new year.

agreeing to blood transfusion.

Many of the same stories but one I am intrigued with is gluttony.
Apparantly the holy sprit doesn't recognise this disfellowshipable offense.

I've wondered about this one myself. Gluttony is directly condemned in the Bible, yet ciggerette smoking is not. One of the elders who DFed my brother-in-law was a classic glutton. He ate McDonald's three times a day, every day. Behind his back we all called him "fat bastard" from the Austin Powers' movies.

Gluttony is a sin according to the Bible, but not the WTS.

As a Kansas City Chiefs fan, I'm afraid I'll have to pull for the Steelers.

Spelling and grammar why?

by skyman in

so many of you feel the need to slam a poster for spelling errors and grammar.

does it make you feel big and smart?

don't assume that you are, for example i have taken two comprehension iq test not the simple internet iq test but the real iq test and have received in detail my break down.

jeeprube

People don't assume that person is dumb because of his grammar or spelling. I bet some of you here are so paranoid that you type everything down in WORD then copy and paste. To me that is a waste of time but they do this so you wont slam them.

Let me start by saying that I am the worlds worst speller, and I am only now relearning proper grammer. If college English classes have taught me anything, it's that people equate your education level with your grammatical and prose abilities. No, poor grammer and spelling do not mean your are ignorant, they merely point out your lack of education.

JWs knock on my door three times in one week

by Sirona in

my husband is off work at the moment recovering from a double hernia operation.

the jws knocked one day and our friend, who was here doing a bit of painting for us, answered the door and simply told them he wasn't the householder.. then at the weekend, early on a saturday morning, they knocked again.

i was in my nightclothes and had only just gotten up, or i would have answered.

jeeprube

Yeah, they're after you. Watch your back.

Another great story from a JW message board. Bring a barf bag!

by jeeprube in

well i was back on that jw board i frequent and i found another puke worthy jw experience; this time from field service.

anybody got anything to share?

i will start...for a year and half i studied with a young women and she was making slow progress but progress none the less.

jeeprube

No etiquette rule was violated by a woman not answering her door!

My thoughts exactly. The rude person in this example is the JW sister who continues to knock on someone elses door, week after week when it is clear that she is not welcome.
