  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.".

  EXWHYZEE SAID :

  As we all know, JW's foremost mission and their small piece of the large tapestry of human civilization right now, is to promote a "long term" fix for mankind's problems. We don't have to agree with them but that's what they do... that's their work. 

  
  

  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.

  FLIPPER SAID :

  Here's the deal. Yes perhaps the camera man came off somewhat rude- but in order to expose the WT Society or reveal to these young people different information the camera man had to say what he did . He rubbed it in wrongly by accusing the young JW's of not helping the homeless man - so the cameraman got off track in trying to expose these JW's. But I believe whether there was a camera filming it or not  filming it - the young JW's answers would have been the same. They STILL would not have been able to explain their beliefs.

  
  

  The man taking the video says ''You have religious people who are PROMOTING their own religion rather than doing good for the homeless man."

  The young man on the second video looks well nourished, dressed to the nines, and standing on his feet handing out a magazine. There is a drunk and homeless man a few feet away who needs help. The promotion of the religion seems more important than helping this down and out person. 

  Why doesn't this young man call his religious leaders and get him some food and shelter? Why is a little paper magazine more important than a human being?

  Where are the Watchtower Society soup kitchens and shelters? Where are the free clothing and money donations for the down and out?

  As a Jehovah's Witness for 40 years, I don't ever remember one talk about helping out any person who was down and out? All I remember was placing magazines and books!

  We all were happy when the meeting was cut short. I remember a brother who forgot his talk outline at home and tried to convince the Elders in my congregation that he could give the talk without the outline. He had a really good memory but they refused to let him give the talk.

  It just shows you how they control every second of the meetings. Everything is force fed and that no one can be trusted.

  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?

  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

  2. friends

  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.
