Do You Try To Avoid The Witnesses When You See Them?

i think i typically don't want to be either love bombed or questioned.

i happen to see jws a lot while visiting my mom.

they don't go there with me, which works well for all concerned..

So what types of people actually flourish under the JW regime?

by Julia Orwell in

i sure as eggs know which types don't:.

creative types: to do well at a creative industry one must dedicate a lot of time to developing one's talent, and as a jw one simply doesn't have time.

since writing a story or painting a picture doesn't contribute in any way to prestudy, meetings or fs results it's considered useless anyway.

How to prove God does not exist?

by UBM101 in

many times (almost all the time) atheists asking for proof of god's existence from those who believe that god exists.

perhaps at times they should prove he doesn't exist.

any taker?

IF there is a God and he created all we know;

WHO created God?

I looked up the defintion of an apostate and found a possible tactic in talking to a JW.

by 5go in

assuming they converted to being a jw that is.

because simply converting reigions or changing one's beliefs makes one an apostate by defintion.. just though i would bring that up..

"Anyone who stands up against lies, anyone who takes a stand against lies, anyone who turns away from lies, anyone who refuses to keep hearing lies, anyone who seeks truth, is defined by the cult as an "apostate"."

Then: I AM an "apostate" AND proud of it. I was disfellowshipped on Elders lies.

BACK TO TWICKERS IN 2014

by St George of England in

we had a letter read at the end of the wt study today announcing twickenham for our convention, 22-24 august 2014. no amex next year then.. there was also a letter read saying not to book hotels except from the wts list as this would help make it cheaper for the majority as the wts will have greater bargaining power!.

they are also hoping to book buses and trains.. what a scam.. george.

BUT NO Cardiff in 2014

All Cardiff assemblers must go to Birmingham LG Arena - also on 22 to 24 August 2014

This is August Bank Holiday weekend! The AGM tie-up was so successful that they are doing the same for the Conventions; hence ALL will be on the same weekend.

it's difficult to imagine how this video could be more disingenuous and hypocritical.

cedars.

Certainly a good video and worth watching, BUT:

Most of the JW's I have known over 50 years have been 'TOXIC'; (enemies)!

With the October 6, 1937, issue, on the eighteenth anniversary of The Golden Age, the magazine took on a new appearance, and its name was changed to Consolation and remained such for the next nine years.

something to look forward to i'm sure.. no doubt the symposium "beware of strange teachings" will be more apostate/evolution/education bashing.. george.
