last month a british teacher was tragically stabbed to death in the classroom.
today a member of my extended jw family posts this; check out his 'liked' comment.. .
where do you even begin .
JW's just don't see that the Armageddon they so keenly await is the biggest, most violent assault on humans EVER. The ignore the violent aspect and just see a shiny new paradise on the other side.
I don't think they see Armageddon victims as real people. More just pawns, maybe. Collateral damage, along with skyscrapers and factories.
It's a truly perverted world view.

recently had a discussion with a surgeon who said jw parents "usually" (her word, not mine) privately say they will take blood if the provider gets a court order.. yet another person, with no connection to dubs and no motive to make this up, saying this same thing.
interesting.. i'm surprised the thought police have not come out with an article saying jehoopla reads the hearts and judges as bloodguilty those who are relieved when forced to take blood..
@Postate - I that encouragement was under the same governing regime that existed *before* the more progressive one that allowed for fractions.
I could be wrong, but the timing feels somewhat right... (?)

i know this might be overreacting, and i have not said a peep about it to my kids or anyone else... .
last week, my kids wanted to call my mom during the day.
on her last visit, they had talked about calling her on her day off at home.
I don't think you mom necessarily tried to plant seeds, but since calamity is how they view the world, it's what comes up naturally when they discuss anything - even the weather.
Which brings up a good point. I have a tendency to do the same. It's not until I'm half way into the report that I realize I'm focusing on the negative things. My brothers tease me about it. I am overall an optimistic person by my 'reports' seem to be more tragic than hopeful. Hmmmm. Food for my own thoughts here...
Thanks.

My first thought: Beth Sarim - all over again.
-Aude.
she has had 42 years of training and indoctrination.
i'm feeling sort of nervous, but also looking forward to it.
this will be our second scheduled session together, and we never did agree on a topic.. i'm assuming she will come with an agenda and another prepared presentation.

LOL That made me really laugh out loud!
Classic. Talk for hours. Knock on neighbors doors for decades. Turn in reports with data and stats of all the witnessing she does. But... OMG~!! Don't quote her~!!! LOL
Funny people.

This post went thru. Why don't you add a reply and tell us what's on your mind??
-Aude.
this is a rumor i heard back in november, it comes to me third or fourth-hand.
feel free to poke holes.
i have many doubts about this myself.
I think it's plausible that they bring in consultants. It might be paid or it might be voluntary by a non-witness thinking they are doing a charitable deed. Or a relative of a JW.
When Seven006 went for his consultating trip, I don't think they paid him.

okay so i'm dating a born-in jw woman, she's younger than me and has no kids.
i'm a christian man whos divorced with 2 kids.
we're in love and seriously want to be together.

Important point that should be mentioned twice.
Ironic that you had to go to an 'apostate' website to find dates and locations of the grandest convention in recent years - the 100 year mark of Christ's 1914 Presence.
One think that it would be prominently highlighted on the 'only website' to provide accurate information about Jehovah's witnesses. No?
-Aude.
so i think the title pretty much says it all.
i have a tendancy to be long winded about things, so i'll just give a general introduction and maybe tell things as i go along.
i don't even really know what i want from this site (ironically i remember jehovahs-witness.net mentioned from the platform as a site not to go to).

If a religion wants to take away your family and friends it has to be worthy of demanding that sacrifice. Trust me, do some research and you will discover it is not worthy not even close.
Very, very wise words. Well worth memorizing.
