i was wondering if anyone had ever heard of the jws texting random numbers to "send their message".
do they do this at all?
and is it a common practice?.
It's actually an interesting question. For years JWs picked random numbers from the phone book and wrote to them. They would scour the obituaries and send a letter of hope to them as well.
So it is quite possible they can get hold of mobile numbers, and text them a message or send them a link to JWdot org. And they can do that from the comfort of their home. Win win situation as far as they are concerned, especially on a cold winters day.
this site is great, i have been lurking for a while now.
but i can’t get reinstated and have used some of the advice already given.. i was df’d many months ago and go to all the meetings and do all the preparation for the meetings, but the jc committee keep refusing me.
tomorrow at the clam meeting i am puting yet another letter in and will be called for another dreadful jc meeting.. 1. what can i say to the elders to show that i am truly repentant?.
Thanks nugget for advice about looking on jwfacts and jwsurvey. They seem like really good sites so far. But I just want to talk to family and friends again. I feel so depressed, confused and alone
please can anyone help me to find any information from society's literature on the subject of marking.
i wasn't aware it was still practiced.
i would like to know how it is explained as being in any way scriptural.
There are many things they know they cannot disfellowship you for, but a persons attitude may go against the advice of the governing body. For instance the person could be encouraging all the young ones in the cong to go on to further education including university, even helping them choose what and where to study. So the elders could well give a talk on the dangers of this. There are many other examples but this is just one I thought of.
i'm a huge fan of the canadian tenors.

saw this video and realized, this would never happen injw land.. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aypgut4te2k.
Yes its a shame JWs do not follow their own advice regarding mothers day.

"When considering whether to include a
piata at a social gathering, Christians should be sensitive to the consciences
of others. (1 Corinthians 10:31-33) A
main concern is, not what the practice meant hundreds of years ago, but how it is viewed today in your area. Understandably, opinions may vary
from one place to another. Hence, it is wise to avoid turning such matters into big
issues."
this video speaks volumes about watchtower failed prophecies and hyped up dead end promises.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhn6zf1hl2a.
Many on here have already heard that recording, but also new ones join this site all the time so good to let them hear it as well. Very damning video for JWs.
i was alerted to the presence of jws in my street, so i grabbed my voice recorder and placed it by the front door.
several minutes later there was a knock, i pressed "record" and opened the door to two jw women.
the recording below runs for 25 minutes.
Well done Mr Monroe, you did well. It is so hard keeping on track when talking to a JW who love to divert when they cant answer
this is actually, cinematographically, a pretty good video, certainly better then most of them anyway!.

Thanks for the figures splash. Hopefully others will let us know the other UK baptism figures

I broke my apprenticeship and regular pioneered while living with my non JW parents. My dad wanted the same rent from me even though I only worked two days a week. He certainly would not have had a good word to say about a religion that encouraged me to do that.

As far as Watchtower is concerned if you do not accept their policies and doctrines and you speak out about them, then you are treated as an apostate. As such your letter would go straight in the bin
all us creationists try to do is offer true evidence that the one and only god is out there watching and looking down on us.
we present that certain scientists know the truth about god and that he is everything that we see from trees, life, weather, the air we breath, and even the most simple molecules.
but of course you atheists reject it because it is your nature to not be humble and see god because you want to rule your own life.
I am an atheist but certainly not hateful. I just feel sorry for those who believe in an all knowing, loving god.
Why not try and look at the evidence against a god being in charge of everything and about to destroy 99% of the world's population.
