  Crossword Puzzles in the Awake?

  by Wild_Thing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  didn't they use to print crossword puzzles in the awake?

  i vaguely remember my mother doing them, and me trying to do them when i was a small child.

  is this an accurate memory or could i be thinking of a non-jw publication.

  1. jw
  2. friends

  let's say an aunt or uncle dies.

  .

  let's say you barely knew them.. let's say their memorial service was held at the kingdom hall.. let's say if you attend, you have to deal with shunning from family and jws, and you are forced listen to them present their paradise promotional materials, and the dead person's "earthly hope™", and let's face it ... the heeby-jeebies of having to be in a kingdom hall again.. would you put yourself through it?

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am not a protester and i hate confrontation, but i have always thought it would be hilarious to set up a kool-aid stand right next to the jw carts and sell purple kool-aid.

  i wonder how many would get the joke?.

  Fred Franz Former Training in Ancient Greek

  by Wild_Thing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  has anyone been able to verify that fred franz received the minimal training in ancient greek that he claimed gave him the expertise to translate the bible?

  you would think that would be fairly easy to verify or disprove in this day and age.

  what college did he attend?

  The Ultimate Solution to the Mishandling of Abuse within the bOrg

  by Wild_Thing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i feel like the world needs to wake up and realize that bethel, the home of the governing body in warwick, new york is the "vatican" of the jehovah's witness world.

  their doctrines, edicts, and policies affect every jehovah's witness man, woman, and child around the world.

  i don't feel like the politicians in foreign countries understand this.

  What are the JWs saying about Trump?

  by Wild_Thing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as much as jws say they are neutral, they can't help but discuss politics and label them as either bad or good and somehow connect it back to their dogma.

  i remember hearing them discuss it all the time when i was a jw.

  i can't help but wonder what the r&f are saying about trump and the many, many controversial events surrounding him.

  Anybody else notice the NWT bible on the cover of June 1, 2018 Newsweek?

  by Wild_Thing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it was supposed to be a striking image to portray how persecuted they are.

  it looks like just another elder using his bible to me.. read more about it, here: http://www.newsweek.com/behind-scenes-newsweeks-international-june-1-cover-art-960456.

  Joseph Rutherford = Donald Trump

  by Wild_Thing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have been rereading a lot about rutherford lately; about his personality and the kind of person he was.

  i have come to the conclusion that he was a lot like donald trump.. he was an accused womanizer.. he was a narcissist with a self inflated ego.

  he claimed to be persecuted by the media all the time.
