Just ask simple questions and make street witnesses move along

by OnTheWayOut in

you don't have to know much to talk to jw's and show them they don't want to really discuss the matters.they consider a discussion on the matter they are pushing to be "confrontational.".

I would certainly refuse to have a discussion with a camera trained on me. Not because I am unable to defend my beliefs but because the opportunity for misrepresenting me is limitless.....Earnest

OUTLAW SAID:
Not if your doing the talking..
That`s the golden opportunity to preach the message your trying to get out to the entire world..
Unless that was never your goal to begin with and your just counting time..
Hoping nobody asks you any Real Questions because then they`ll know your Full of Sh*t!..

You can see that on the first video that they were both caught by surprise when someone was willing to talk and ask questions. The 18 year old male witness and the female witness were both doing the dirty work of the WTBTS. They were both counting easy time ( where you just hold up the Awake Magazine and hope nobody talks to you). It clearly shows that the young man didn't even read the magazine he was handing out. If he did, he would of had real answers to the man making the video. You can see that he is tested with real questions but comes up with Parrot answers.

On the second video, the man making the video is not being a smart ass. He sees a young man that is neatly dressed, showered, and likely drove to the location. A few feet away is a man that is probably drunk and homeless. The real question is not to the young man but to the Jehovah's Witness leaders. Why isn't he taken to a location where he would have a meal, shower and a roof over his head since he is down and out? Why is the WTBTS only interested in placing a magazine? Why can't they do both?

James 2:14-17 ESV
What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that? So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.

ALBANY — An assembly meant to bring the lessons of the WHATEVER THE FAITHFUL AND DISCREET SLAVE ARE TEACHING AT THE MOMENT into IMPRACTICAL terms for everyday life is being conducted in Albany by the Jehovah’s Witnesses community this weekend.

A one-day assembly is planned to start at 9:30 a.m. and end shortly after 4 p.m. on Sunday. IT WILL RUN A LITTLE LONG BECAUSE OF THE 25 MINUTE CONCLUDING PRAYER. Taking place at theAlbany Civic Center, it will include Bible-based talks THAT ARE RIGHT FROM THE WATCHTOWER, BORING demonstrations and interviews WHERE FACTS ARE A LITTLE SKETCHY from the Circuit Assembly of Jehovah’s Witnesses as part of their 2014-15 program.

The theme is “Keep Seeking Jehovah’s Righteousness,” which is based on Matthew 6:33.

Everett Berry, spokesman for the event, WHO IS MONOTONE AND BORING said the assembly is a semi-annual event attracting witnesses WHO HAVE NO CHOICE and THREE non-witnesses from Florida and southern Georgia.

Sessions will take place concerning biblical principles and how they can be applied to school or work. There will also be song, prayer, dedication and baptism.GLORY GLORY HALLELUJAH. Sessions dealing with how to distinguish right from wrong, seeking righteousness, soundness of mind, materialism and youthful desires will be among the topics featured.

“There are those who are atheists and agnostic who come,” Berry said. “It doesn’t matter. We want folks to know (what we have learned from the Bible).”

Entry and seats are free,BUT MAKE SURE YOU GET FRIENDS TO RESERVE THEM BEFORE YOU GET THERE and it is open to the public. In past events, Berry said about 2 people have attended, a good portion being non-members WHO WENT IN THE ASSEMBLY JUST TO KEEP WARM FROM THE BRUTAL WINTERS.

“We always get a very good response WHEN IT'S FINALLY OVER,” he said. “The program is very DEAD, DRAWN OUT AND BORING.

“They always come out (learning something). It’s not just a matter of preaching and REALLY BAD singing. (The biblical principles) apply to everyone, not just us.”

Be WARNED. Remember that "mother" will use you, abuse you and then it will send you off with a swift kick out the door.

'' Mother'' has been abusing all its members for over 140 years. They have a great business model. The WTBTS has all its members :

contribute money

clean all the Kingdom Halls with free labor having each congregation take turns

have members buy Bibles, books, magazines

demand each member sell Bibles, books, magazines with free labor and gas

build factories, Kingdom Halls, Assembly Halls, etc. with free labor and material

have congregations pay assembly costs

buy and sell real estate

have each congregation pay the expenses of each visiting Circuit Overseer for the weeks visit

have congregations contribute for disaster relief around the world with no accounting where the money went

loaning money to each congregation with interest to rehab its Kingdom Halls

Where are the soup kitchens, housing for the elderly and free clothing and financial aid for the down and out?

As Brokeback Watchtower said: I feel bad for those that devoted their live to this blood sucking Corporation and the Governing Body

Surprise ! Surprise ! 2015 Arrives and NO Armageddon or World's " End " - Go Figure

by flipper in

i guess 99.9 % of ex-jw's here could have predicted as much .

armageddon didn't happen in 1914. it didn't happen in 1925. it didn't happen in 1975. and it did not happen in 2014. since the wt society first predicted a world's end when their organization started in 1879 - 126 years have passed which according to any dictionary in any human language 126 years comprises of 4 separate generations each totaling 30 years each.

plus 6 years into a 5th generation.

I went through the 1975 debacle. We were told that the ''end '' was near and anyone that was not baptized would not see PARADISE. I was baptized in 1974 at a young age of 14. I remember brothers and sisters selling their homes and businesses to make themselves busy as the end drew near.

Forty-one years later as you have stated : NO Armageddon

COCA COLA : markets and sells soft drink products

The Beatles : market and sell c.d's, posters, t-shirts

New York Yankees : markets and sells tickets, t.v. rights, t-shirts, hats, and concessions

Ford Motor Company: markets and sells automobiles and trucks

Watchtower Bible & Tract Society : markets and sells books, magazines, and owner of BILLIONS OF DOLLARS of real estate. Receives large donations from 7 million members who in return receive the promise that they will survive ARMAGEDDON. The promise has been around since 1879 with generation after generation not seeing this glorious '' end of times.''

Wow!

News spreads fast in the Witness circles! I will talk to my mom and see if my brother ( who knew him well ) mentions the bad news about Michele. My mom always calls if there is any bad news in Watchtower land. Also ,since we were talking about him yesterday, this will be a shock for all of us.

She just mentioned yesterday what a wonderful family they were and how well liked Michele was as our Circuit Overseer.

Wannaexit said:

But I heard that Michele died, but I can't seem to find any notice of his death on any of Montreal's newspapers.

As I posted yesterday, my brother knows Michele Sinapi and was told that he is still alive and lives in Montreal. He said that Michele should be in his late 60's and has a hard time walking. He suffers from a disease which makes him lose his balance and needs someone to hold him stay on his feet.

Also, Google shows that he has a Linkedin account.

Hope you are doing well !

I just came back from my mom's house. My brother (who is an Elder ) was telling us how he is attending the Elder School in New York next week. He mentioned how much it cost to buy airfare, hotel and car rental. He went on to tell a story about the year he went to stay at the house of an Elder, Michele Sinapi , while in Montreal.

Wow! That was weird! Before I left to go to my moms I saw your post.

I remember that he was our Circuit Overseer close to 20 years ago. (As you know, I'm from the Midwest area)

As far as I remember, Michele Sinapi had a wife named Josephine and had twins. My brother knows him well . He told me today that he still lives in Montreal and needs someone to help him walk. He suffers from a neurological disorder.

To all my congregation Elders :

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

thank you for coming to my house so often because you were so concerned about me missing so many meetings.. ( actually, the only time you visited was when the circuit and district overseers were in town.

you really showed them how concerned you were about your sheep.

i now know that it is more of a duty than a concern.).

Freddo said :

It's a little dance. They pretend they care and we pretend we wish they called more often.

DesirousOfChange said :

The fact of the matter is that we THOUGHT they would be missing us and thus would hound us in an attempt to get us back. BUT................the fact is: they didn't. No calls. No visits. Nadda.

That was my point! They pretend that they care on the outside but have no true love for the spiritually weak and members who don't pull their weight. The spiritually weak are a burden. They don't want them around since they would infect the congregation.

I didn't need Elders visiting me since their whole objective is to have members who tremble and shake when they walk around and have ass kissers who want to make Ministerial Servants and future Elders. They don't want my kind who no longer answer at the meetings, go out in service,miss meetings and are fence sitters. I never found an Elder who really cared about me at the meetings but showed his love when the Circuit and District Overseers showed up at my door. Go away! I had an Elder tell me how much he loved me at these visits but would never shake my hand or pretended he was busy and walked around like he never saw me.

The Watchtower Society is more interested in new members who are zealous and on fire to preach and hand out books and magazines. Every time I see Witnesses walk the streets in field service I always say to myself, '' There are your new replacements. They are zealous like you were when you first started. They are doing the same job you just quit. And when these new members get tired out, there will be new members to follow. The Watchtower Society only needed me to find new members to replace those who died, dropped out and quit doing the dirty work of recruiting. "

Thank you for taking me off the sound and microphone duties.

( I did miss some meetings due to work but that wasn't nice since I was a baptised member. My, it's amazing how you punish members if you don't follow company policy.)

Thank you for not giving me a Blood Card Directive and the "Proclaimers " book.

( I know I was starting to miss some meetings and stopped field service but that was pretty petty of you to do that since I was a baptised member. It really hurt my feelings when I was told that the "Proclaimers" book was only for those that were regular in field service. The book was just a sugar coated history of the WTBTS anyway.)

Thank you for avoiding me as much as possible at meetings and assemblies.

( It didn't feel good when you shook hands with everyone but looked the other way or looked busy when I was walking around.)

Thank you for telling me that since I was "inactive' in field service that I would not make it when Armageddon came.

( I tried looking up the scripture where it says that but I couldn't find it. )

Thank you for not inviting me to any of the congregation events and parties you planned every year.

( I guess you were worried that I would be a bad influence on the congregation members. )
