  Jw's will still have to be warned about bad associations with dodgy resurrected people. Meetings will be essential because everyone will be so wrapped up in their idyllic lives they will forget to worship Jehovah. Perish the thought!

  Perhaps it's time people did start taking lawyers into jc's. If everyone did it, they'd have to allow it. If they proceed without you present and df you anyway, I thought you could sue for that, especially if they have no hard evidence on you for a df'ing offence!

  i picked one up today i'm really enjoying.

  "screwed, the undeclared war against the middle class" by thom hartmann.

  i am finding it to be very insightful into why jobs are being sent overseas.

  I have just finished reading 'Memoirs of a Geisha' - excellent.
  
  Also 'The Da Vinci Code' - fantastic.
  
  And am currently reading 'My Family and Other Animals' by Gerald Durrell - extremely good.
  
  I have read 'Catcher in the Rye', I found it quite hard to read but I'm glad I did, not sure why.

  Hi Pepperdoodles and welcome. I know of 2 jw's that were policemen. And they were both ministerial servants, and funnily enough, they both had beards too!
  
  I think there are probably more jw police here in the UK due to fact that they don't carry guns.

  Thanks Lady Lee, I actually took that picture in the West Midlands Safari Park in England. It looks like a professional shot but it isn't, just good luck I think.

  Would the world be a better place if everyone was JW?

  by Gill in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the back of 'the end of false religion is near!

  ' leaflet makes an interesting claim that in the book 'holocaust politics' published in 2001, says : 'if more people practiced versions of what the jehovah's witnesses preach and practice, the holocaust could have been prevented and genocide would scourge the world no more.'.

  do you believe that is true?

  Some jw's are lovely people and the world would be a better place if the world was full of those ones.
  
  However, a percentage of jw's are not at all nice , so someone would have to sort them out into nice and not nice (sheep and goats - LOL).

  Charles T. Russell. If is wasn't for him, we all wouldn't be in this mess, and our lives would be completely different.
  
  The perpetrator of 'the lie' has to be the biggest villain. I hate him. My family shun me because of him. If he wasn't already dead I would like to kill him.

  hello all.. i have always wondered what feelings people have in the hours/minutes prior to getting baptised, the seconds immediately afterwards and then the first few hours thereafter?.

  i've never done it, but it seems like it would be a real head f-!.

  anyone willing to share their experiences?.

  I felt numb the whole way through, before, during and after.
  
  This is because I was doing it only to keep my family happy.

  ARE YOU RELIGIOUS BECAUSE YOU'RE AFRAID OF DEATH?

  by Dansk in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've been thinking about the above question a lot lately!

  i see so many so-called religious people being hypocritical to the religion they profess to have faith in.

  they may say "hey, i'm only human", as if this excuses their behaviour.

  If you want a donkey to move forward, dangle a carrot in front of it's nose.
  
  For a lot of people, a get out from the 'death clause' is their carrot.
  
  Does that make sense? To summarise:
  
  The donkey = You
  
  The person trying to get control of the donkey = Religion
  
  The carrot = Never having to die
