Death to the Pixies: A few questions, just for you...
by AuldSoul inas an able apologist for jw dogma, i am wondering whether you give me answers with scriptural backing for a few questions.
in other words, whatever your answer is i would like scriptures to support the answer.
i hope that is not too much to ask.. (1) was charles taze russell ever the "faithful and wise steward" assigned to give people their "portion of meat in due season"?.

Witness and Food Stamp Scam
by MissBehave inhi everyone, been reading here for a long time and have to say how much i enjoy all of your stories, insight and opinions.
this is my first time posting but i remembered something today that i thought was worth sharing.
when i was a teenager and going to the hall (i successfully faded about seventeen years ago), there was a family who would come to the hall in all their sunday finery (better clothes than we can afford), drove up in their nice luxury vehicle etc.

Yikes i have seen that as well. Hoped it was an isolated incident. The other thing i have seen is deadbeat dad that thinks he doesn't have to keep a real job cause armageddon is a coming and so the family's phone is disconnected.

Has anyone talked to anyone that has actually seen it? I ask because i have university friends, and i know some jw's that have been anxiously awaiting this. Yet no one has seen it yet. Wouldn't it be funny if the producer hypes this up gets everyone to buy it and it turns out to be a bit of "apostate" propaganda?? Just considering all the good dub rules he has broken..

As the famous saying goes, "Believe those that seek the truth and doubt those that find it." I think doubt is good, but it wasn't the thrust of my post. More along the lines of i wonder if their actions and presence here is really a cry for help.

Has anyone ever seen that movie, “Empire Records?” In it there is a character that everyone calls Warren. He gets caught shoplifting and has to sit on the couch. His bad attitude and defensive posture hides the fact that really all he wanted was a job at the record store.
When I think about a JW that would approach this board with both guns firing it reminds me of that. A JW that would go out of their way to read the words of those that have “fallen away” has got to be struggling with the issues themselves. Maybe they are not the most popular or faithful witness to begin with and are really just looking for kindred spirits. Friends even. I’ll be the first to admit that growing up in the truth didn’t really teach me how to make friends.
Perhaps this is a form of personality disorder. Maybe their presence on the board is merely a cry for help. Maybe we can show them the facts and also try and befriend them.
Just thoughts..
