I went to see Amish country in PA just 2 months ago and that's all I could think about was how that this is what JWs want...
I would rather take a forever dirt nap.

Do Jehovah's Witnesses crave an 'Amish Paradise'?
by Gill infrom as long as i remember the watchtower society has painted an idyllic rural scene for their future existence on the planet earth, free from the non jehovah servers that live now.. my mother regularly talks about her 'little donkey and cart' that she's going to own in the 'new system of things'.. so do the jehovah's witnesses dream of living in an 'amish paradise' minus the amish, of course?.
do they have any idea what kind of nightmare existence that entails, especially adding on top of that five meetings a week, continuing fs, studying etc?.

What about the 606/607 deal??!! Make him explain to you how he comes up with 1914 and when he mentions 607 bring to his atttention that it was 606 and when they realized that they couldn't add, they changed it to 606. .. also that no one outside of JWs think that Jerusalem fell in 606 or 607 and that all of the archeology even the evidence in the Bible points to 587 (I think i have that date right) anyway!!...
I hope you don't have a dead stump you are trying to water here.

Once I sent a text to my out of town husband saying "I want an after sex cigarette" and he thougth I sent it to the wrong person. But I really meant to send it to him meaning I wanted sex and a cigarette and he thought I meant that I had sex somehow and now wanted a cigarette... that took some explaining to fix.

What effect does 'Apostate Pressure' have on the bOrg?
by AK - Jeff inwill increased pressure - pickets, websites, books, letters to fellow witnesses, have a positive or negative impact on the ultimate goal most apostates have - seeing the organization eventually crumble and fall?.
my take is that more pressure is good.
it makes the 'real personality' of the organization express itself in greater oppression, more demands, greater efforts to isolate the flock from education, career, family, reality.. eventual result of oppression is rebellion.

When I was a JW .. not long ago ... they would read letters that addressed problems I never knew existed (like the one they read about the pedofile thing) .. Those letters made me ask questions about what was going on that I didn't know about. That pressure on the headquarters to print those letters must be doing some good.

JW says the end of religion is beginning to happen!
by awol inwhen talking to my jw friend.... she asked me if i had seen the news about businesses now not putting up xmas deco's etc.
this is so as not to offend people of other religions ie jw's and muslims etc.. she said this is going to lead to (a start of) the banning of all religions worldwide!?.
i said i think it shows more tolerance and respect for other religions.... that is not how she sees it (or any other jw's that have been discussing it).. what are your thoughts on this.

That never did make sense to me. I couldn't figure out how the goverments could ban religion and the JWs be the only ones left. Even if the JWs were banned and they did it underground, wouldn't the rest of us worship in secret too?! I never understood exactly how that was going to work.

JW's and Mormon's argue who has the true religion
by moshe inand, if this ever happened it could go like this:.
a jw debates a mormon about who is the one true religion on earth and a stalemate ensues so they go to an impartial beit din- a jewish religious court of law- the rabbis listens to each sides arguemenst and then rule " we have three choices here,.
#1- the jw is right , #2- the mormon is right or #3, they are both wrong , it's a black and white open and shut case".. the jw protests -""but ,we are god's chosen organization on earth, the governing body told me so!".

What I hate is that its always our fault that they are shunning us!... Excuse me but they are choosing to shun me -- its their fault that things are the way they are and not mine!

What's the longest you ever waited for an appointment?
by JH ini don't know if i set a record, but after 2 years and 2 months, finally the blood doctor will see me......lol.
this all started back 2 years and 2 months ago, when my family doctor noticed that i had too much iron in me.
so, he gave me a paper to go see a blood specialist.. so, after 1 year i phoned and they said it could take up to 2 years, and they told me to wait.

There is no reason you ever have to see this baby at all.
by reneeisorym inits a website that is something like "ask a circuit overseer" instead of "dear abby".
this just one portion just broke my heart.
it is all pretty sad actually.

It has a real ring of truth. I could see my mom saying those things. She told me once that she could never meet my children. I told her that even though she couldn't talk to me, maybe she could enjoy having grandchildren one day and she said, "Now Renee, you know I could never have anything to do with them either"... This is sooo sad!

Ok ... I guess I missed that somehow. I wish I would have seen that one when I was a JW though. That would be a good tool to get them to think I believe.
