Medal of Valor given by Obama to JW Grandmother - Check her Lapel Pin

by Da.Furious in

this grandmother found the best way to advertise jw.org by wearing a huge lapel pin.. .

some of the comments are really interesting.. link to article:.

This whole JW.org business drives me absolutely insane. It is CRASS COMMERCIALISM masquerading as a form of RELIGIOUS WITNESSING. It is ill mannered, rude, crass, and nothing more than RELIGIOUS HUCKSTERISM!

Yes......I am listening to Neil Young's live version of ALL ALONG THE WATCHTOWER on YouTube...........it has revitalized me! When I saw your Kool Aid comment I just couldn't resist getting back into the 'thick of things'.

Khaleesi.........by the mid '70's the 'white Bethel boys' could have a moustache and sideburns to the bottom of our earlobes neatly trimmed. In fact, I had sideburns down to the bottom of my earlobes and Lon Schilling (The assistant Farm Overseer and now highly placed) had fairly bushy sideburns down to the bottom of his earlobes too! I never grew a moustache until I left Bethel and have had one for 39 years.

Why it's a waste of time talking to JW's

by Phizzy in

i believe it to be a waste of time talking to, reasoning with, jw's if you expect any kind of quick result.. many of us when we first wake up think that 'coz ttatt is blindingly obvious to us, it will soon get through to our jw loved ones.. this simply isn't so for a couple of important reasons.

the first is that, if someone believes something is true, or the truth, to them it really is, without doubt, true.

so whatever you say must be wrong somehow.. the second problem is that jw's simply do not have to use, or pay any attention to facts and logic.

---you cannot polish a turd. - stan livedeath

But you can build your 'metaphorical' house out of turds by believing everything the GOVERNING BODY(tm) says through the pages of the WatchTurd magazine.

Look at the SHAMELESS self promotion of the GOVERNING BODY (tm) !!! Rude, tasteless and tacky! JW.org printed on the back of what seems to be Prince's memorial program. All I can say is these men on the GOVERNING BODY(tm) have NO CLASS and no manners. (This is my last posting in reference to Prince and his memorial. I'm making myself physically sick each time I post about this.)

Here is a LITMUS TEST for allowing Prince to have a Jehovah's Witness funeral as a member in good standing:

Would this album by PRINCE, released in the year 2014, entitled ART OFFICIAL AGE be allowed to be in the possession of a current Bethelite according to GOVERNING BODY(tm) standards as to what music is allowed at the 'House of God'? The cover with it's 'mystical third eye' on Prince and his suggestive lyrics contained within would render this music UNACCEPTABLE at Bethel. Yet Prince gets a funeral as a Witness in good standing.

Prince and addictive drugs…a possible loophole?

by Londo111 in

according to the elder's rulebook, there is this addendum in the chapter on the grounds for judicial committee and the section: "misuse of addictive drugs":.

please note: the use of addictive drugs under medical supervision, such as for pain management, would not necessarily require judicial review.

when questions arise, consult with the branch office.. .

Jehovah's Witnesses and the high rate of 'mood altering drugs' usage within the congregation......................from Bethelites on down to the lowliest of publishers. That is just one of the many 'elephants in the room' that the GOVERNING BODY (tm) is ill equipped to handle or even admit to.
