how many of you bought a nice sedan, suv, or even a minivan back in the days that you described as your "armageddon car" that you would care for and it would last until the end arrived?.

i was driving a 1974 plymouth volare wagon in 1992 when i managed to get an 8-year old buick century.

it was low mileage and had a very luxurious interior.

1. watchtower
2. beliefs
most churches are back to in-person worship.

not jehovah's witnesses.

is watchtower still managing to fleece the flocks as the sheeple no longer get literature, no longer go to the kh, no longer walk past the donation box?

you don't need to understand complicated ways to go from 607bce to 1914ce.

you don't have to go back to the late 1700's to understand the founding of jehovah's witnesses on the back of william miller's teachings.

you just need to know that watchtower math and past doctrines along with changes in teachings are all based on lies.

Rejecting JW Message is More Important than Success to Keep Them Indoctrinated
by OnTheWayOut in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
the recruiting work of jehovah's witnesses has never been very effective.

such low positive results for such great efforts.

but the members are paying the gas money and expending the hours, so watchtower is not really losing out.i want you to think about the rejection jw's receive, be it a negative response at the door or people ignoring them at the cart.

Liberal vs. Democrat in the U.S.A.
by OnTheWayOut in
1. jw
2. friends
it seems that many believe that a liberal in the usa must be a democrat, pretty much following the party core teachings and some even think it means approving the party history of, during the 19th century, supporting or tolerated slavery and opposing civil rights reforms after the civil war.

some even insist that a liberal loves anything and everything obama did..

balderdash!!.

So What Drastic Money Change is Next?

1. jw
2. friends
okay, they cheapened the product by getting rid of hardcover books.

they reduced printing of mags.

they drastically reduced the number of pieces of printed paper that members would "place" in people's hands in various ways, the biggest one being that they put them on a cart and don't encourage people to take them.they cut d.o.

JW's Setting Up Carts at Chicago Train Stations
by OnTheWayOut in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
the reader is very chicago-oriented but for your benefit while reading, "the el" is the elevated train system that ties in with the subway system for commuters and "cta" is the chicago transit authority that runs the commuter trains and buses.

JW Christians Are Supposed to be Good, BUT.....
by OnTheWayOut in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
so, serving "the one true god" and being "in the truth" are supposed to make jw's better people.

they are bringing their "truth" to people and that probably makes them feel that they are good to "worldly" people.but they do it to "get their time in.

" they do it no longer in any life-saving mentality.
