the worst magazines i tryed to place was about 13 months ago i think 1 was the watchower on witchcraft and the other was the elderly commiting suicide.i thought how the hell am i going to offer this mag on witchcraft, i think i ended giving them to the pioneers,i mean what sort of presentation could i use with this witchcraft article i suppose i could of spoke about the blair witch project and tell them how c:@p it was,i mean i loved horror films.and to make things worse the magazine about the elderly commiting suicide "oh god" that was a bad one especially when i had to offer it at an old peoples home.
so anyone on here what mags did you find terrible to place.
Ditto Kennison. I'm always on the lookout for them, so that they can be escorted to their proper place.
I forgot about the menopause mag.
One of the last mags I got in the mail was "Help for Arthritis Sufferers". I'm sure that sometime they're going to have an "Help for Anal-Wart Sufferers" Awake!.
I'm sure some Pedophilia mags are in the works. "We don't tolerate pedophilia. Look, we even put out a magazine about it." (Pats on backs all around at Brooklyn)
im in 1 of those moods today!!!!!!
i think the other day someone posted some funny suggetions on young people ask questions, they were really funny.
ill have to think of 1 here go s "mum are boob jobs demonic" lol
Good one Mum!
YPA: Why is it wrong to think independently while smoking a cigarette after having sex?
i read an article about a 1989 watchtower that stated the preaching work would be completed in our 20th century, but was revised in the bound volume to say "in our day".
i told my brother this and he said, "if it's on the net about jw's it's a lie".
i want to prove to him it was a fact.
Internet:
Pronunciation: 'in-t&r-"net
Function: noun
Date: 1986
1. an electronic communications network that connects computer networks and organizational computer facilities around the world
2. an Orwellian stop-thought word used by Jehovah's Witnesses in order to dismiss information that may criticize their religious beliefs and/or organization. This has come as a result of intensive conditioning efforts by the Watchtower organization.
.
maybe it's just me but, it seem like "elders" respond extremely quickly to "sexual misconduct" as long as it does not involve their own family members.
true or false?
This is generalizing, but I think quite a few of us had a "Brother Jude Ishelmatter" in the congos we attended.
With these power-drunk shmucks you'd get in less trouble for denying Jesus' resurrection than you would for fondling a breast for more than the 1.5 seconds that the secret elder's manual allows before the act becomes gross fornication.

There was a pink or mauve colored magazine, around 1994 or 1995 on Boredom. It was an Asleep! mag I think. The householder laughed at it. I can't believe nobody has mentioned the infamous "Mystery of the Alpine Iceman" Awake. Even the most die-hard dubbies in my congo were embarrassed at that one.

i just felt like posting an email i received recently which i got a kick out of.
here is the email; my response follows on the next post.return-path: <[email protected]>.

Cognitive dissonance is a terrible thing. Poor dubbie.
let's say suzy witness told the elders in her jw congregation that her jw father had been secretly forcing blood transfusions on her when they were alone.
what would happen?
how differently the matter would be treated than if she went to them and told them she had been being molested?.
CO:
I gather you were never a Watchtowerist. Let me tell you, it was a real treat sitting through a 40 minute Service Meeting part (Thursday or Tuesday meeting, depending on your congo) detailing the new legal forms the WT has produced for JW's in recent years, due to the increasing complexities of the blood issue that have made the wallet cards insufficient.
*Yawn*
I never heard the sin of pedophilia mentioned at a meeting. Not once.

Would the elders demand 2 witnesses?
Would the looneybirds at Watchtower Legal tell the elder who called them to "let Jehovah bring it out" and "don't get yourself in a jam?"
Would the JW's at her hall shun her for making the accusation?
Or would they camp outside her house and try to kidnap her to keep her from being subjected to such a terrible, terrible thing?
Hilarious and sad when you think about it.
This is my last post for a while, I spend WAAAYYY to much time in this forum.

Another religious org drunk with their self-proclaimed authority
i remember hearing stories as a kid that john denver would ask all the witnesses present at his concerts to stand.
and, then after they stood, he would play the national anthem.
any truth to this?
JW to Bob Hope - "I'm so glad you recognize that JW's aren't as bad as people say. Oh, and by the way, I hope you die before Armageddon so you get a resurrection."
I heard the John Denver thing when I was in. It wouldn't surprise me if he had it out for JW's, as he seemed really sentimentally patriotic.
I heard once that Clint Black would ask JW's to leave his concerts. Oh, big disappointment missing a Clint Black concert (yes, country music fans, feel free to be insulted by that).
