Okay people I am going to the Jehovah's Witnesses congregation to talk with the preist or Elders. I have over a dozen questions to ask them, they are short and to the point. If anyone want to give any last minute advice I am listening. I will come back after work tonight and look at the advice you all give..
My partner wants to come along too. I said, only if he doesn't wear his police uniform I don't want them to misunderstand my visit.
Have a nice day all. Besafe.
i thought this was a little odd, so i did some calculations to see if my observations were correct.. last year, there were 107,218 jws in canada.
they reported 18,544,473 hours of field service.
this activity resulted in 2,030 new baptisms.
Hello DogPatch. I have been reading parts of your book online. It's out of my league for now. I know the peices will fall together when I have a better understanding of Jehovah's Witnesses.
Midday break is over..have a nice day everyone and besafe.

i just wanted those kind-hearted, those gentle, those friendly ones of you to know that i wrote my letter of resignation as an elder yesterday, after having served in that capasity for 24 years.. those wishing to call me or any society "bastard", "sucker", "braindead" or anything, as they have before, i would ask please to refrain from that.
other comments would be welcome.. somehow, it is the armstrong quote about "one small step for man, one giant leap for humankind" (approximately) the other way around, "one giant leap for (a) man, one hardly noticeable step for humankind".. ok, that was that.
Hi oldhippie I am new here and learning. I've noticed this board is a place where people come to let out issues they have held in for years. I can't imagine what is like not to speak how you truly feel because of fear. I do hope you find the freedom you are looking for.
WOW 24yrs. That's a long time to dedicate your life to a movement . Mind if I ask what motivated you to stay there so long? And what made you leave?
Many have said, they lost families members in this religion, did you lose anyone? Or better yet, leave someone behind?
Since you have been there for so long would you explain if there's a big difference between those who are "raised" in the religion from those who just happen to come in from "the world" as they say?
january 10, 2002. for immediate release:.
approaches to education, inc. again calls jehovahs witnesses leaders to account.
in recent months william bowen blew the whistle on jehovah witnesses leaders' policy concerning the treatment of victims of child molestation within the religion.

yesterday i took a little time out to talk with jehovah's witnesses.
at first they were more than happy to answer my questions.
Dave...You had me cracking up I almost couldn't write this. I feel for you. Especially the part about her throwing the book at you..
Big hug ya little trouble maker.
Back at you Dave. Hey Alan where ever you are tonight ..how are you?
a jw at my work (who doesnt know i used to be a jw) is rambling on in the lounge about how the preaching work is still being done and doesnt seem close to being acclomplished all over the earth.
she also said that the thought of this system going on for another 6 or so years makes her sick!
she said she couldnt wait for armegeddon (sp?

thinkers wife: I read what you just said. I believe at those times (Bible times) those rules may have or would have worked but, we live in a whole new world now. People can't possibly believe those rules would work today. I never heard of anyone following the Bible to the letter. That just sounds crazy to me. I am not going to be judgemental with them. I believe everyone has the right to worship God in the way that best suits them.
dungbeetle "Now turn with me to Genesis, now turn with me to Revelation, and so on, not giving you a chance to catch your breath. What to do about that I don't know.
hahahaaha well thanks for the warning anyways..
dungbeetle: here's something for you: at the kingdom hall, a young boy can carry a microphone. a girl cannot. why? To me, if they forbid a girl from carrying a microphone, they should forbid a girl to clean the kingdom hall toilets as well
Why can a 13 year old boy get up and give A BIBLE READING but a woman with a college education, advanced teaching credentials, and ten years on the writing staff at Bethel not get up and just READ THE BIBLE? Even sitting down,, she can't do it?
That's a good points you every talk with them about that?
I wish I could take one of you with me I bet you would have a lot more to ask than the few questions I have for them.
Room215: Danni, for your own enlightenment, that was Yo Yo's pre-baptism face you just witnessed on this page.
Once you're dunked, Yo Yo's fangs come out; Item One on the post-baptism agenda for you will be ``sit down and shut up!''
LOL So you think I am in the making of being a Jehovah's Witnesses? Not from what I have learned in here. I'm a strong minded person therefore they would not be-able to take complete control over my thinking. And there are some things I disagree with like, no taking of blood to save lives. Trust me I am not the type of person they want for their religion. I could never just sit back and keep quiet.....After talking with people here I am looking foward to meeting with them this sunday....
