It sure looks good.
Should be in the front garden, not indoors! Where the passing JW's could appreciate your work!

I have this experience every Thursday evening;
My wife won't drive in the dark so has the meetings by telephone.
It is an experience everyone should have, it is like listening to a load of Zombies.
With the recent snowfall I have had to put up with two extra Sunday meetings as well.
This religion certainly is 'NUTS'!

"I need to do more Bible study"
by sabastious ini had a conversation with my brother a while back and i was venting about my frustrations about the watchtower.. after some heated discussion my brother told me that "he needed to do more bible study because he felt weak.".
i bit my tongue because i felt this to be a little comical.. this is something that witnesses are taught to do.
if they start to question the doctrine they are programmed to seek further indoctrination.. the interesting thing about my brother's statement was he used the buzz word "study.".

"Charitable Giving" Brochure
by HintOfLime incan someone provide me with some information on the names and nature of a brochure by the wt with a name something along the lines of "charitable giving"?
upon learning that a close jw relative was diagnosed with cancer, and possibly on their deathbed, the "friendly neighborhood jw hopital group" showed up, had a lengthy closed-door discussion with him one-on-one (wife couldn't be present), and left a brocure and dvd in the room with a title along the lines of "charitable giving" - i'm sorry, i didn't read the full name before it disappeared.
the 'brothers' (*cough* moneyhounders in sheeps clothing *cough*) had already left this "information" and had "discussions" with him before even the family learned of the situation and had arrived.. am i right in thinking this is a "you're soon-to-be-widow doesn't really need that life insurance money" brochure?

Are they really that bad???
by anonymous4 inhad a good look into the doctrine, beliefs and practices of jws and to be honest, i don't really see anything wrong with it at all.. it's biblical and i've had such an eye opener the past year or so reading some of their books and magazines .
is there really any real reasons why i shouldn't want to get involved further?
:-).

The watchtower eats humble pie in trying to locate and reinstate all those wrongly disfellowshiped?
by still wondering inwhat happens when the rules regarding medical treatment are changed because it is now decided that the watchtower god does allows certain blood fractions after all but which formerly the wts said would offend him so much that offenders would be sent to gehenna?.
blood serums are just one example.
in 1954 the societys ruling on blood serums disallowed their use because using blood serums was displeasing to god.

The Watchtower will NEVER ever eat 'humble pie', they are NEVER wrong.
The Watchtower have NO interest in locating, or trying to locate anyone they may have wrongly disfellowshipped.
The Watchtower have NO interest in reinstating those persons.
They are just a book publishing company after all!
