  in an effort to increase the praise and honor to jehovah and jesus christ at the time of the memorial, the governing body has arranged for a special period of increased activity during april 2011.

  you will be pleased to learn that during april 2011, publishers who wish to serve as auxiliary pioneers may indicate on the application whether they will be working toward a 30-hour or 50-hour requirement for the month.

  this is a special arrangement for the month of april 2011 only.

  My Self-Righteous Brother-In-Law Got Disfellowshipped

  by SlipnSlide in

  my brother-in-law has always been a jerk and i never liked him.

  he married my sister and had a family.

  not long after, he became an elder and he thought that he was the shit!

  He was/is still a representative of the Most High. I can't believe you would dare to malign him in this way.

  May Jeehover have mercy on your soul.

  Video Of JW's WItnessing

  by Pig in

  new cartoon, i hope this isn't considered spam but this one took me a while and i'd like to share it.

  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_pqu0bln74.

  one criticism (god, that word reminds me of the tms) was that my other videos weren't boring enough to match what it's really like as a jw, i think i've captured it a bit better in this video.. also, it's meant to be fairly non offensive because i hope jw's can take a sneaky peak.

  His presence is very much missed.

  Thinking of Ian is a reminder to live each day to the fullest and make sure to tell family & friends we love them.

  Why Christmas Is Important

  by metatron in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  every year, i take some time to express my admiration and respect for christmas.. yes, christmas, folks.. i don't give a rat's a$$ when jesus was or wasn't born.

  i don't care how many gift giving orgies the romans had.

  i don't care about "pagan" customs derived from religions that are long dead, anyway.

  Did you play tackle football as a good little JW?

  in my town we did.

  each congregation had its own "pick up" team.

  we would get together and play on a chosen sunday after the meetings.

  More often than not it was touch or flag. Had to keep it on the down-low from my Dad and other hard-cord keepers of the faith.

  No tackle football.

  No wrestling.

  And of course, nothing "orgzanized" (i.e. after school, with worldlies).

  New Beginnings!!!!

  by JWFreak in

  well things have changed big time for me.

  on the 3rd of dec. finally, i have left my work at bethel and moved almost 500 kilometres away to a new life.. some of you were aware of my work in a european branch, and have kept my confidence.

  for this i am eternally grateful...you know who you are.. the huge weight that has been taken off my shoulders is both a comfort and a relief.. when i settle into my new home properly, i intend to write some memoirs of life at the branch, hoping that others will find it of interest.. for now my future is for the first time uncertain and that makes it very very exciting, but i am no longer under the control of others yay!!.
