  i'd say out of 10 elders, the average "sharp" ones are 2 or 3.

  I know of an elder that seems pretty intelligent. He's always reading, very knowledgeable of the latest news, science, sports...etc., however, did not know what MySpace.com was. Doesn't everyone???

  Hello. I'm fairly new too. Welcome. Everyone is so supportive and if you have a question everyone goes out of their way to find an answer. The thing is: "They find a answer." I've learned more from this site than 30 years in the "truth".

  Do you have a JW FS over zealous experience?

  i remember feeling like a must appear rude and crazy to show up at people's doors on christmas morning or new year's day.

  things like these always made me wonder about the sanity of my parents, for one, and the organization.

  why don't jws every get a day off?

  I used to feel so embarrased. No compassion for the privacy of others. I think that it's really rude to visit people when they most likely have friends and family visiting. Such an intrusion.

  !!!!!!!!!! New Elder Video !!!!!!!!!!!!!

  this time they really did call the police on me lol!

  they backed out though, they called, then canceled the call after a while and the police never came to charge me with recording them, pitty really.. http://www.quad-central.com/~dan2007.

  there is the link, i was unable to edit the audio file like i usually do to take out the blank spaces and amplify the volume, so if someone could do that with the wav file on the server that would be great!.

  I'm listening to the recording. You handled them so well. I've been in your position before and did not realize how they set people up. Interrogate people. They just keep asking questions surrounding a situation...there's no biblical anything. I think they get off on anything that they can. Good job.

  What kind of safety precautions do dubs take for field service?

  by Check_Your_Premises in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  do they provide guidelines about safely entering homes?.

  if a jw enters a home for the first time, what kind of safety precautions are taken by the car group to ensure the safety of the jw?.

  for instance i was shocked to find out my jw wife wasn't instructed by the elders as to which homes belonged to registered sex offenders.

  DO SOMETHING

  i see this site gets thousands of postings every day .. from literally thousands of members, mostly ex-dubs, from all over the world.. rather than simply go on moaning and whinging about the big nasty org why don't you all put your efforts into something positive ... do something.. ok - the org is evil .. but it exists ... and simply whining on about it doesn't change that.

  with your efforts directed at something positive, you could do wonders for .

  .for anything you choose.. hundreds of real charities could do with your support - to help the really needy .

  Regarding JW's using My Space accounts...

  by Riverwatcher in

  2. friends

  i haven't been around in awhile, so apologies if this topic has been brought up recently.. my daughter (not a jw) had an interesting discussion today with her brother (who is a jw).

  she was on the computer and was confused because her sister in laws my space account was no longer there.

  she goes to check her brothers account; it too is gone.

  At our recent circuit assembly the elder mentioned that our children should not be using __ space.com. (He wouldn't say the whole name). Most of the parents didn't even know what it was....the kids were looking at each other and snickering.

  explain this one to me...how the jehovah's witnesses take this scripture meaning they are the only true religion.

  what does it really mean?

  any religion could use this scripture...
