  Jeff Foxworthy comes to a local Kigdom Hall and tells these jokes. We all laugh and go out house to house telling these jokes to all the nations showing that not all Witnesses are boring.

  You May Be a Jehovah’s Witness If……….

  You wash windows or cars for a living and still own 5 suits.
  You know the cleanliness of every coffee shop for 4 Towns around.
  You think nothing of letting your friends stop by and use your bathroom.
  You go to Home Depot & go down the aisles where the doors are displayed & you feel compelled to knock on them.
  You Can’t pick up a book or anything to read without a pencil or highliter.
  You can’t buy a pair of shoes without thinking how they feel walking residential streets in 95 degree heat.
  A pioneer is not a stereo.
  You know what Nisan 14 of the Jewish Calendar is in the Gregorian Calendar. From year to year and yet you commonly forget your own birthday.
  You spend 3 days at a baseball stadium,never saw a ball and didn’t have a beer.
  You have a “Get Together”, rather than “Parties”, and after wards your house is not a mess & you have more food than before you started.

  Why can't the WTS handle the truth on why people really leave the organization?

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  what do you think are the reasons why the wts can't handle the truth on why members quit?

  why must they disfellowship everyone who would say something like this to an elder on why he/she no longer wishes to be a member......................................................................................................... '' i do not want to be a member any longer because of the changing ''generation'' teaching,the wts is just a publishing and real estate corporation,the preaching work is just a means to distribute books and magazines,the baptism and disfellowshipping of teenagers is wrong,the meetings are boring,the meetings are repetative, the 144,000 is symbolic not literal ...etc.....etc.....

  ''They put the blame on the individual members- not the leaders of the WT society. Members are made to feel they have a lack of alleged " faith " or are deficient for leaving. The WT society WANTS it's members to feel deficient . Then THE LEADERS don't have to honestly admit their OWN deficiencies.''

  Flipper....you're absolutely right! They always blame all members that leave the organization and call them names such as ......''spiritually weak'', ''loving the world'', and ''apostates''.

  I agree that once you're given a Placebo,it is up to you if it is working. Once you see that the Placebo works on other members also,you benefit even more.

  As you said,once it becomes a chore,boring,repetative,tedious,bothersome,tiresome,and a waste of time,it's time to quit.

  i went to the sunday circuit assembly and came back all riled up with all the nonsense.. the sunday program was on ''safeguarding your spirituality''.

  ''it is better to remain single and not marry.

  that gives you more time for studying and the preaching work.

  I stand behind what I said. I don't come here to rile anybody up.

  The speaker mentioned about the 6 earthquakes and the viruses being signs that the end is near. They clapped because the end would be near for the Witnesses.

  And.....Don't forget all the pleasure the Witnesses get when 6 billion people die at Armaggedon!

  Flipper

  That was the worst meeting I ever attended!

  I was thinking about all the people that died in Haiti and found it sad that the WTS would wait for an applause when mentioning the effects from earthquakes and viruses.

  Here is the article about the earthquake from WIKIPEDIA:

  The 2010 Haiti earthquake was a catastrophicmagnitude 7.0 M wearthquake, with an epicentre near the town of Léogâne , approximately 25 km (16 miles) west of Port-au-Prince, Haiti's capital. The earthquake occurred at 16:53 local time (21:53 UTC) on Tuesday, 12 January 2010. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] By 24 January, at least 52 aftershocks measuring 4.5 or greater had been recorded. [ 7 ] An estimated three million people were affected by the quake; [ 8 ] the Haitian Government reported that an estimated 230,000 people had died, 300,000 had been injured and 1,000,000 made homeless. [ 9 ] [ 10 ] They also estimated that 250,000 residences and 30,000 commercial buildings had collapsed or were severely damaged. [ 11 ]

  These people are SO SELFISH to clap about earthquakes and flu viruses killing people worlwide ? And for what do they clap ? Their DELIVERANCE from all this is getting near ! Allegedly. This JW cult develops and fosters selfishness in these people - it's like' As long as we get ours and get into the paradise- the hell with everybody else !

  Great point Flipper! Haiti lost close to 200,000 people. Just think of all the homes,businesses,roads,and schools that need to be rebuilt. Think about how many lost fingers,hands,and feet. How many lost moms,dads,and loved one's who provided for them? Who's going to feed them now?

  How sad it was to be in attendance yesterday watching everyone clap over other people's misfortune!

  We all know that these scenes are all made up. They want to show that the brightest schools have nothing to offer.They use Harvard because that is elite. A good career means nothing to the WTS. The preaching work will get you into the ''new system''.....not money or career.

  I went to the Sunday Circuit Assembly and came back all riled up with ALL the nonsense.

  The Sunday program was on ''safeguarding your spirituality''. ''It is better to remain single and not marry. That gives you more time for studying and the preaching work. Also,you may go to a congregation where the need is greater.''

  The speaker talked about how the h1n1 virus has killed thousands around the world. There have been 6 major earthquakes in the last year. He said,''Isn't wonderful that these things have happened as the ''end'' draws near''? ( How sad to wish death on people in Hati and people who died from the virus) Everyone clapped except me!

  There were 2 sisters who got up and had a dramatization about a sister not wanting to go to College. I will paraphrase as best as I can.

  High School Counselor: ''Have a seat Karen and I will show you all the College applications I have for you.''

  Sister: ''Thank you for all the work you have done.''

  Counselor: '' I have an application from Harvard,one from Michigan University,and a couple from the East Coast.''

  Sister: '' I have done alot of thinking and decided not to go to any College."

  Counselor: ''Karen,you have a 4.0 grade average and scored very high on the A.C.T. and you would have no problem getting into any of these schools."

  Sister: '' As you know,I'm a Jehovah's Witness and we believe that we are near the ''end times.'' I decided that I will go into the preaching work part time and maybe go to a 2 year school."

  Counselor: ''You will probably get into these schools at almost no cost because of your 4.0 average and high A.C.T. scores and have a good career the rest of your life.These are great schools and will prepare you to land a good job.''

  Sister: ''This world is passing by and may not be here any longer. I decided to enter the ministry work and Jehovah God will provide for me in the future."

  Everyone applauded except me. That was really sad to see!
