i was just wondering if anyone ever tried to find a mature way to defy their supposed authority to judge you this way and what sort of reactions you got.

i haven't been dfed, but it could certainly happen some day.. i'm not planning to meekly put up with the preaching next time witnesses try it on me, which has made me wonder about this.

it seems a bit immature to go right up to them and say "hiya!

My wife likes to smile and wave, but not run up to them. Just making them recognize your presence and showing them you are happy and could care less about their rules works for her. I've done the same thing but have run in to far less JWs than she has.

We often make fun of Mormon Prophets who one day say "Poligamy is good" and ten years latter "poligamy is banned" but we have the same thing. Governing Body rules1979 "Organ Transplant is Cannibalism and banned." 1980 "Organ Transplant is Okay."

A key point to notice in how JWs use tricky definitions to get around tough issues.

The Watchtower will make a big deal saying that "we are not prophets!" but what differance does it make when you demand that your followers treat you like one?". JWs view their leaders just as the mormons view their prophets, but they feel better about it because they don't use the word prophet.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM LAWRENCE HUGHES

as you may have heard, the court of appeal has overturned three previous court decisions in my favour.

the lawsuit has been given the green light and is basically has remained intact almost exactly the way it started.

what are the odds of that happening?

Holy crap mouthy those are some crazy JWs! Is destroying and stealing mail a federal offense in Canada like it is here in the US?

Pioneer Sister tells my Wife If your Raped just pray to Jehovah for help??

by Witness 007 in

while being new in the truth my wife dicussed the rape issue with her pioneer {my mums annionted} teacher.

her response was to say if your raped you need to pray to jehovah for help and just yell for him to stop so it's not considered fornication.

i was shocked at this so i found her an awake article about a sister who was assulted by a tradesmen in her home.

Does anyone remember that picture of the scarlet-colored beast WITH crowns?

by AlmostAtheist in

i got my history a little mixed up in a post earlier tonight, trying to recall an error in a watchtower picture a few years ago.

the picture was of the scarlet-colored wild beast, but it had crowns.

the bible says this beast doesn't have crowns, it's the other one that has the crowns.

I've got the bound volumes but that is a heck of a lot of work to find it! Could you possibly use the CD Rom to narrow it down to what article(s) it may be? I don't have the CD-Rom on my computer at this time...
