All 3 of us are the same age (65). He is a convert. He has been a Witness for 20 years. I was clueless other then those people who rang my door bell and I gave them a hard time.
He gave me the book on Families and I had lots of questions but really tempered them trying to go slow and gentle. This man knew from our conversation over 5 years that I have fought for women and children's rights.
Saename,
For 5 years he was but then I asked the wrong question about his religious beliefs and I guess that is why we never discussed his beliefs. I just was NEVER told you do not question the beliefs of a JW. Rebels and Fighters questions everything. His final words to me were you fight everything you disagree with.
Never a JW here but totally enjoyed reading this thread. I wonder how many more have joined the ranks?
As I said before the "Elder" was the sweetest, kindest, nicest man I had ever met until he made this wordly Italian lady Roasted, Toasted, Deep Fried and BBQ.

new post on http://jwdoctrine.com/the-kingdom-100-years-of-freemasonic-propaganda/ now connects pinky rings ,freemasonry and symbolism .....
Russell was in fact from the research I have done was I believe a 32nd degree Master Mason. The original Watchtower mags did have the Crown and Cross on them. Current JWS are not permitted to belong to any of the Masonic organizations. My theory is that is a lot of money and time that could be going to the borg. Oh yeah the explanation I always got from the Elder but I tuned him out was something along the line about Babylon blah blah blah. So I would just join another group and do more Masonic stuff.
The pinky rings the GB wear are NOT Masonic rings. If you are interested go to Ebay look for Masonic rings male or female MHO they are all huge. I only wear the pins they are big enough (to big)!! But sorta required jewelry.
Zeb, you apparently collect not kill these things. I had four Adult "children" at my home this weekend and I was just about DONE with these characters they were apparently all around my swimming pool, on my counter top, in my family room, just every where on this one acre property. Then they took off on scavenger hunts through the neighborhood looking for more of them. Calling for Popsicles and bottled water because it was only 98 degrees in the shade. These are grown ADULTS. LOL
i just turned 41 today.
last year was my first celebration at 40. half my life is lost to this cult and i celebrate by almost losing my job.
one of the only things i have left.
Happy birthday oh I so wish I was 41 again! Never a JW here so we are having a big birthday party this evening because you share your birthday with my little princess she turns 2 today. Believe me she thinks she is a princess too. She wants a pony. Haha I do believe there will be a lot of stuffed ponies.
this case has to be talked about by ever awake jw every apostate everyone.
this case because they refuse to hand over documents the court already knows they have because they handed them over before but heavily redacted, is the icing on the cake!
this case shows thier evil plain and simple.
OrphanCrow,
I believe you have it the nail on the head.
the anti gay video that watchtower recently produced has now had over 1,000,000 views.
of those who selected to like or dislike the video, over 92% disliked it.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnk52bu92oe.
Cofty,
5 - Nowhere is the girl encouraged to tell her friend anything negative about her lesbian parents.
Obviously you do not know how kids function ANYTHING that mom said in that entire conversation is now repeatable on the playground. She will repeat the entire conversation. Disgusting!
Try standing in the same room with a kid talking to your spouse and let a 4 letter word slip out, guess who has just added a new word to their dictionary.
a while back a coworker was telling me she had a migraine in the morning and had to take some aspirin before coming to work.
i was like, "yeah, that wasn't a migraine dear.
that was just a headache.
The medication I am on is Topamax no I do not get nausea because I rarely eat. That is the biggest problem the doctors had to bring the headaches under control because the weight loss was becoming a bigger concern. I am now limited as to how much weight I am allowed to lose in a month or alarm bells go off in the doctors office. My headaches feel like my entire head us in a vice grip being closed but it is just pain. Hell I walked around on a broken foot for six months and did not know it was broken till I went to the foot doctor about the 26 planter warts that hurt like hell on the other foot. He insisted on taking x-rays. Showed me the brake. Oops I remember dropping a case of sodas on it.

I find this video totally disgusting but the part I find most repulsive is having Sofia go teach her friends at school her beliefs. First never a JW, if I am not mistaken wasn't it the WT and their legal team that got the pledge and prayer taken out of OUR schools here in America then DON'T start preaching your religious beliefs on our school properties!! Furthermore don't be preaching that hatred to my grandchildren because my grandchildren will be preaching ARC, pedophile in KH, and your bloody sexist attitudes to your little Sofia and friends.
I am with:
Death throes of bigotry. They will disown this video and their homophobic rhetoric within 10 years is my prediction. It's just not sustainable in the modern world.
OK, history lesson here in the US, I have never been in a KH but I am sure some older members of this forum can verify what I am about to say in the 1960's and prior if you walked into a KH it was WHITE or it was BLACK it was not mixed. Ceasars laws started to change so did WT.
What I do not understand is why they have held their ground on the sexist attitudes. And their attitude on child rape.
I worked my way through college working for large national company that was dominated by men. When I graduated I had a degree in Finance with a minor in Business along with 4 semester in Business Law. The company I worked for was under a lot of pressure by the federal government to put females in lead SALES management or they were going to lose their federal contracts. I was offered one of these positions with all of the perks and moving expenses included. Thirty days into the new job the "old set in his way women don't belong" boss started his campaign to harsh me. Called me with you will no longer drive the company car to and from work. My response Not a problem as soon as you have new contract on my desk I will accommodate your wishes. One hour later he called me back I guess you can continue driving the company car and slammed the phone down. Thirty days later he called me and said I have your leave slip for Christmas, I am denying it because I need you to cover Dean's store and your store. My response Sorry that does not work for me for two reasons one I have use or lose leave which has to be used before the end of the year AND two Dean has not been employed long enough to have any leave. I will be taking my vacation. His response I will call you back. He called back. I approved your leave request. About 30 days after vacation he called me at 11 AM in the morning and said I understand that you are having a problem getting to work on time. No sir I am not. But you are more the welcome to hope on the next flight and open this store at 7AM tomorrow morning and close it tomorrow night 9 PM because that is what I have been doing for the last 4 weeks for a SALARY and no ovrrtime and hung up on him. Thirty minutes later my old boss called me (I swear this company word spread faster then fire in a building ) DO NOT put your resignation in writing the company is willing to pay for a move to transfer you.
Thirty days later I got a call HD was forced to retire for his pressure on the 3 female store msnagers.
The store they sent me to I cleaned house 6 men got either lost their jobs, demoted or forced to retire.
