what makes this latest watchtower particularily dumb?
well, let's see.. take a look at this gem:.
" ...would a christian who is a self employed contractor bid on a job that involves painting one of the churches of christendom and thereby.
" ...would a Christian who is a self employed contractor bid on a job that involves painting one of the churches of Christendom and therebyshare in helping to promote false religion?" (pg. 24)
When I was a kid, I remember taking a job working with the P.O. of all people at a church. We had been hired to break up and remove this fountain from in front of the church. Perhaps he was OK with it since we were foreshadowing the destruction of the all the worlds churches. :)
some guy reads the materials of some other guy and gets the idea of marketing it himself.
adds pizazz "i am the faithful slave", dramatic effect, the end will come in 1914 and boom you have a product.
advertise, advertise, advertise thee kingdom of god.
it didn't start becoming clear to me until a Circuit Overseer told us that we shouldn't say the money covered the cost of printing because it didn't cost nearly that much to print a book, i was stunned.
Wow, that would blow me away. What CO would have the guts to say something that truthful?
now this might be childish and immature but we all have our moments... i was thinking of some pranks to pull on the kh and one i thought of is calling during every meeting doing different voices (block your number) and ask for pizza, chinese food, you name it.
also i work at a call center for a magazine company and i was thinking that on my last day that i will set up a trial subscription for them they will get sooo much junk mail and invoices hehe .
any good ideas of more pranks?
Nate Merrit posted some great ones here a few months ago, but the response to them was largely negative. Personally I thought they were great.

(helps to put something in the subject line .
it's that time once again for yours truly to try to channel minimus and ask a pertinent question sure to spark a lot of interest and debate amongst the ex-jw community.
the question: do you still pray?.
Im still respectful when Im at my folks and such, but otherwise I dont have any need to talk to myself like that.
yep, waiting on jehovah.
this statement has really good potential as a "catch-all" phrase.
it is a useful palliative and "anti-inflammatory"; it's general but agreeable vagueness is magnificent.
Awesome, this is just what I need right now. I can be just as frustrating as they can.
i know mine has.
i went back to my flat earlier this afternoon to pick some things up, i am moving out of there slowly, and was carrying a heavy box out to my car when i stumbled and dropped it on my foot.
it wasn't too painful, thankfully, but i came out with a stream of expletives, most of them beginning with f. when i was a jw, even thinking those words would have filled me with shame.
Ive always been a foul mouth so and so. So, no it didnt change a bit.
lmao... this guy is so stupid.
people in iran have been publishing anti-semitic cartoons for decades... why would people get pissed now?
watching this guy is like watching some joker moron who somehow managed to get into a position of power far beyond his intellectual capacity.. http://english.aljazeera.net/nr/exeres/fce073dd-7f1b-4714-95f0-dd1f354f1d9a.htm.

Shoot, I think you're right. Im going back to the hall right now.
i'm curious, when you made your decision to leave the org.
did you do it before or after looking at this kind of internet sites?.
in my case i made my decision without ever looking any of this websites.
I decided to leave the day I started reading things on the internet. I had been agonizing over it for sometime and was just trying to find something in print I could identify with to help me keep my sanity. Not a good day.
.
i'm so frustrated with the challenges associated with "spreading the bad news about jehovah's witnesses" i find when i debate with a jw in the company of "civilians" (people who know nothing of jw's) they come off smelling like a rose and i seem like a disgruntled nut.. just needed to vent!.
.
Maybe I misunderstood your post a bit, but personally I dont go around picking fights about such things. I'd wait until they try to preach to you about some silly crap and then try to point out the flaws in it.
set yourself a goal, and try to honor it.. i think i'll be a special pioneer once more in february on jwd .
120 hours of reading and posting on here .
if you can't pioneer, try to be an auxiliary pioneer
Hmm.. I guess a post count is kind of like a time report.
