Each time I go to McDonalds I see..........
by JH in.
each time i go to the mcdonalds near by, i see jehovah witnesses there.
either for their morning break in the field service, or just an afternoon coffee, or an evening lunch i'll meet one or a few there.. last night i went to the drive through at mcdonalds, and noticed that the car in front of me looked familiar....and finally i saw that it was a brother.. i'm pretty sure you'll find mcdonald restaurants in the new system .

Why is it that every time I go to McDonalds I see JW's
JH-
McDonalds is their new territory...you know gas is getting expensive...So, maybe they're finding new avenues of service. Get a paper and a coffe (cheaper then gas) and strike up a conversation with the person next to you.
Witness: Sure has been hot out these last couple of days.
Householder: Yeah (mouthful of frenchfries)
Witness: Do you think that there ever be a day when the weather is perfect everyday? And we all live in peace and get to play with the animals?

My Story..... Need advice on reinstatement Letter.
by jrjr4189 ini've been a member of the site for a month, but have been reading the posts for a lot longer, however this is my first post.
i was raised a j-dub by my mother (my father wasn't religious) with my sister and brother.
i was pretty much convinced by my dub friends, bible study conductor, and mother that i should get baptized when i was 15 and decided to go for it.

(Sometimes the silver lining isn't enough to make some wrongs seem right). I unterstand it is SO hard to not receive the love from your family that humans need. I miss my stilla witness sister very much. However, I also realize although brainwashed it is her decision to shun her whole family. I live my life with love towards all and and try to be a good and caring person. I am sure you do the same. It seems to me it would be a shame to try and get re-instated. By doing this you are saying : "I am ashamed of my life and the 'sins' I have made and it is okay for you to shun me because you do not agree with my life choices". If they don't love you for who you are then as hard as it is move on....maybe one day they will see. I wish you a HAPPY life and take care!

I think it was a great video also.. It is a bit dated but it still is all relevant. I wish they would make updated version too.

" Of all my years as a witness, the times are not always good, to many mistakes are being made. The brothers are not doing what they should. As, I look back now, there are times I recall, why I didn't even feel like going to the kingdom hall. The brothers showed no love, they didn't seem to care.. The elders were unyielding,demanding and unfair. Meetings were dull and boring. Feild service was a chore. There wasn't much of a pioneer spirit, while going dooor to door. It wouldn't get any better as I hoped it would, I knew the day was coming when I would leave Jehovah's house for good. But, happily it is so different now. Jehovah has been kind. He has allowed me a wonderful congergation to find. The spirit is so stong here, the brothers really care. I couldn't be more happy if I was anywhere. Life in Jehovahs organization is just as I would dream, but don't get me wrong; things are not as they seem. You see I'm part of the same congergation. I go to the same hall. I fellowship with the same brothers and sisters, elderbody and all. Now the changes that were made are not as they would seem, for all the changes made, were changes made in me. Now I love the whole brotherhood, no other one in the world to find. Instead of being critical, I try to be loving, forgiving and kind. I realize now, were all inperfect , it's plain to see. While I was learning to put up with my brothers, they were already putting up with me. We're all part of Jehovah's flock. That's where I want to be. Why if my brother's are good enough for Jehovah they're good enough for me.
Well, this poem didn't help my family or my dad!! It sounds good till you realize plain and simple this isn't ' Jehovahs org'!!!

Well...our congergation rarely laughed.
However, one time on a Tuesday night book study...the reader read the word organisim but instead of saying that he said orgasm. (ya he wasn't the greatest at reading) I didn't wanna laugh but it was to hard to keep it in.

A decision of life and death in your hands.........................
by vitty insomeone asked me a question.
if you found yourself in 1939 sitting next to hitler, gun in hand and with no repercussions at all for yourself would you....................shoot him...........knowing all that he was going to do.. it really made me think..............first i said straight away yes, then no.
then after thinking about it for a while, i really didnt know.. could i physically shoot someone , even though i knew he would murder and torture millions of people?.
-

Now first off I do not believe in murder. Yet, If I had to shoot someone that I knew would hurt and kill millions and if I had the chance I would. If I knew that my child was going to be molested or murdered someday...but had the chance to stop it from ever happening I have to say that I would. Why do evil people deserve to live? I know some may think that Russel and Rutherford were not as evil as Hitler. I think they were... they just didn't have as much power or a such a prominent position, they didn't have thousands of men at there beck and call armed with weapons. P.S. That's just my humble opinion.

Will there be a time when NO ONE will be able to become a JW anymore?
by JH in.
the witnesses always said that at some point in time, it will be too late to join, the doors will be closed.. do you believe that will happen, or is it just to scare the witnesses?
and what would trigger the watchtower to decide, it's too late?
-

beautifulisfree
it will be too late to join, the doors will be closed.
If they have no new members then that means they would have preached to everyone and that would mean the" end was here"...so no Plus they need money...if they don't go out in service and convert people or place propaganda who's going to voluntarily donate? $$$$$

Assemblies: Queues (Lines) at the Ladies, and taping over mirrors
by Duncan inthis topic sufaces here every now and again, with people reporting on the way that in some locations, the brothers tape paper over the mirrors in the ladies toliets, in order to speed things up and reduce queues.
i posted this a couple of years ago, but i'm resurrecting it now because i think this is relevant and interesting:.

They should be glad they never covered the mirrors at an assembly I attended. Otherwise I would of walked out of the 'truth' right then and there. (I hope) What the heck gives them a right to do that? If they were not covering the mens bathroom mirriors Heck I would of used those!!
