  Are regular publishers more genuine in their dealings with others?

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  having been in a few congregations, i have observed that those with nothing to prove are often the most genuine people.

  that is, brothers who aren't apointed seem to have more to say and are more interesting to talk to.. those who have position seem to have little to say other than repeat wt mantra.. with regular publishers, particualrly those who didn't reach out, i often found that they were just themselves, with no pretences.. is this something you have noticed?.

  my friend asked me last week, do weal publishers attract weak publishers?

  greenday,

  what an arrogant attitude. what do you feel qualifies you to pass judgement on millions of individuals that you have no personal knowledge of and decide that "they" are getting what "they" deserve"? i'd bet you were a real hardass when you were an elder. i'm sure you enjoyed lording it over people who had been lied to, and tricked, and bullied to the point that they could not defend themselves against you. we are not in that world anymore greenday. i thank jehovah that you don't get to decide what anyone deserves...and believe me you would not want me deciding what you deserve. is this really the best you can do? there is an old saying that says " it is better to remain quiet and be thought a fool, than it is to speak out, and remove all doubt." this is something you should give some consideration. if i lie to you and steal all your money and as a result your life is ruined, do you "deserve it" because it was "you" that believed the lie? if i kidnap your parents, and brainwash them until they shun you, is it your parents fault they were brainwashed? or is the responsibility yours because you refused to go along with the brainwashing? it must be someones fault because after all it can't be liar that gets what they deserve, or the thief, or the bully...but we can certainly see that the victim, the one who was decieved, gets what they deserve. is that what you are saying? and if it is, what qualifies you to decide what you deserve or what "they" deserve?

  the answer to the topic question, i believe, is that some are and some aren't and no matter what the question this is always the answer when dealing with large numbers of people.

  have a green day

  Posting Signs

  by nowuask in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  you are able to sue the witnesses themselves if you have a no trespassing sign posted.

  the watchtower bible & tract society of pennsylvania nor the watchtower bible & tract society of new york, inc. will not protect nor represent them, if you take them to court.

  make sure that you notify the courts of the sign being posted.

  gwo,

  i don't know where you are located(isn't the internet amazing), but around here there is an absolute law that says if there is anything on your sign besides the words NO TRESSPASSING it is not a no tresspassing sign under the law, and you or i can walk right past it as if it wasn't even there. and not be charged with tresspassing. it has been like that in this area for many years and every zealous for the hours pioneer and i only go out on saturday morning elder knows this and will proceed according to the law, not any individual person's wishes. sad but true.

  what did your signs say? i like "tresspassers will be violated", "survivors will be prosecuted", "can you make it to the gate in 3.7 seconds? my rotweiler can"

  KISS: For the seventy years

  by vitty in

  .

  my husband and i spent a few hour yesterday getting to grips with 607. i had printed out the kiss method which allyemom posted.. it was simple to follow and understand.

  now we need something like that for the seventy years, we tried to get some information but it was very confusing.

  vitty,

  i understand your frustration. you need to think about a couple of things though. first, this question is a constant on every jw related forum on the internet. and yes many people are bored to death we it. our knowledge of this subject does not benifit us and our lack of such knowledge does no harm as far as i can see.

  secondly, there is not one active, true to the org, jw that cares even the smallest amount what you know. or what you think. or what you believe. or what your concerns are for their well being. you cannot change ignorant people with facts, and this is really sad when they are family.

  and finally...if it weren't for fluff threads some of us wouldn't have a post history at all.

  hope you have a better day

  Another reason the WTS doesn't want JWs on the net?

  by Lady Lee in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we all pretty well understand that the wts tells jws that bing on the internet is dangerous to their spiritual standing because people on the net are controlled by satan

  but... maybe there is a second reason.we also know that the wts believes if people read the wt literature they will come to the wrong conclusions.

  people require someone to sit with them and read every paragraph of a wt book to make sure they understand the book in the right way.we know the website for the wts is pretty sanitized so people don't run off too quicklywe know there is no place on the wts' website for discussion.

  jw,

  "what will you come up with next....."

  whatever it is you won't have anything inteligent to add. perhaps you should go back to lieing about your fs time. by the way do you consider follow up posts you make on your weak ass threads as return visits?

  there seems to be the same disconnect here as in the congregation when the visiting speaker goes on and on about the "love" he felt when he walked through the door...i never felt that "love". when you are being greeted at the door by all the other "elders" and their friends and family and various congregational butt kissers you get a different "feeling" than you do if everyone ignores you, or insults you, or gives you grief because they don't want bro. feelthelove to think they would ever associate with someone as unimportant as you are. i don't see much difference between this attitude and trying to list all the "big guns" as the first poster that you noticed when you joined jwd. the topic was posted as singular...who was, not who were. a good way to identify cliques though.

  danny haszard. i found this site by googling "jehovah's witnesses", any one who did this when i was doing this would have gotten a few news hits, the two official sites, a few "apostate" sites, and what seemed like thousands of hits for danny haszard. following one of those hits led me here. i don't know how to post a picture here but there is one of him with a sandwich board that is classic. i think maybe this is the way the jews saw jon the baptizer. a voice crying from the wilderness so to speak.

  i just did a google search for danny haszard...10,900 hits.

  thank you mrsjones.

  dido,

  i'm sorry about your mom. death comes to us all, and yet it is always a shock. you would think that it wouldn't be a suprise by now. there is nothing wrong with loving your mother and celebrating her every day if you wish. guilt is sometimes a large part of our relationships with other people, but i'm sure your mother would tell you that she loved you for the things you did do; those are the important things. the things we didn't do are often overlooked by everyone, except ourselves. what you are experincing is a normal part of grieving and i'm sure you'll call on jwd if you really need to talk. i wanted to bump this to top because it felt kind of awkward appearing where it did. you might think about posting it as a seperate thread. there are lots of folks who would like to help you. best wishes for you.

  did rutherford love his wife?.

  if he did, why did he reside in brooklyn, while she lived in california?.

  if he did, why during the times he did visited california he resided at beth sarim in san diego, when his wife, mary, resided in the los angeles area, where his son malcolm also lived?.

  i'm sure he loved his wife as much as john kennedy loved his. or at least as much as bill clinton loves his. but probably not as much as i love mine.
