What weird/strange expierence you've seen/had with a DUB?

i remember a sister and i in service and we were lost finding the territory.

instead of making a u-turn into a church parking lot right beside us to turn back around (we were on a one-way street and cars were behind us) she refused and instead went all the way down to the end of the road, into a neighborhood, and onto someone's driveway just to turn around.

of course sis.

Catholic "Manger Scene" misrepresents the facts!
by Schizm in
1. jw

i drove by the local catholic church this evening and happened to notice there was a manger scene set up out front of the church.

flanking one side of the child's crib were mary, a few shepherds, and a cow.

flanking the other side of the crib were joseph and the so-called "three wise men" (more accurately known as the magi).. after having seen this display it made me wonder whether or not the local catholics know that the magi did not make their visit while jesus was an infant lying in a manger.

... you actually get married.

if you end up having sex and then breaking up, trust me, someone is going to tell the elders.

saw it happen more times then i could ever count.

How much JW love is enough?
by Spectrum in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
i've noticed over my short time on the forum that one of the indictments levied against the jws is the lack of brotherly/sisterly love that they extend to the follow jw.

i remember my first congregation (i was about 14/15).

of the nearly 200 people there i was only ever invited to two brother's homes over a 2 year period.

right now my cousin, who has'nt even been a dub for years is likely dying because of the blood issue.

she signed no blood stuff likely due to her parents and a likely hlc member, jim rife.

she signed it apparently in a drugged or severely stressed state right before they put her into an incuced coma.

Mormons celebrate 200 years
by oldflame in

2. beliefs
joseph smith founded the church in 1830, 10 years after he claimed to experience a vision of god and jesus in a grove of trees near his family home in palmyra, n.y. he also said an angel named moroni led him to a set of buried gold plates that contained the ancient records of christ's dealings with the inhabitants of the americas.

smith's translation of the plates became known as the book of mormon, the text on which mormons base their religion.. smith's original church had just six members, mostly his family, and only 5,000 copies of the book of mormon were published at first.

he sent out a handful of missionaries.. today mormonism has more than 12 million members half of them outside the united states.
