At the doors.

by Sabin in

what were some of the derogatory things you heard or said about house holders?

.

i was taught that if they didn't answer the door & you knew they were in it was always that they had a guilty conscience..

Never a JW but I did have a sign posted Absolutely No Soliciting because I worked from home, they knocked anyway. Look it was tax deadline time and everything was breaking down in my house at the same time, the teenage kids thought I should be able to split my time 10 ways too. So the JWS said something or other to me and I just said like I don't have time for you all read the sign I am just to busy. One said something like can we help in someway. I said sure I could use about 6 husbands right about now.

I would have loved to heard those comments as they immediately left.

Wait, if I am not mistaken even the Girl Scouts in the US has stopped D2D selling because of the pedophiles at the door you are knocking at! So if the JWS are protecting their young ones why are they sending them D2D, who knows what lurks behind closed doors of strangers?

Who thinks Wt is going to throw Vincent Tool under the bus if he loses his law registration.

by joe134cd in

just read speculation about this on another thread.

who thinks vincent tool, if looses his law license and becomes less useful to wt that he will then be reassigned to the field.

or is he just to big of a player to lose even with out a practicing law license.

Sir82 is correct there is always someway around these agreements. I once had to sign one when my employer wanted to stop me from continuing with a discrimination lawsuit before signing it I told them they had to add the line "this document maybe reviewed by her attorney and tax accountant ". Oops, they forgot to ask and I forgot to mention who those two people were and both agreed with the contract and said sign it and move on. Once I had my money (1 year of pay) I heard the next Board of Trustees meeting was over the top explosive. The oops was both Board members! And they were not happy about the discrimination charges to say the least the buy out.

any JW construction going on other than Warwick?

by Magnum in

is anybody aware of any kingdom hall builds going on or any kind of ldc activity?

i've been wanting to ask this, and committeechairman's question at the end of this thread, http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/289353/ldc-semininar?page=4&size=20, moved me to go ahead and ask.. i've kind of wondered whether the org leaders got rid of rbcs and instituted the ldc arrangement because they wanted to be able to stop or slow down construction without it being obvious.

if the rbcs were still in existence, it would be obvious that there's nothing (or almost nothing) going on (if that really is the way it is) because rbc personnel would be idle when they were used to being busy.

There was big one built in Riverview, Florida two years ago.

C T Russell's involvement with the Freemasons re-evaluated

by Finkelstein in

here is video someone put out that goes deep into c t russell's associated involvement with the freemasons.. there is no question that he drew out a good portion from this organization in creating some of his theological ideas.. being that it was j rutherford that helped to place a pyramid monument at his grave site indicates he could have been associated with the freemasons himself to a certain extent.

a cross and crown laid upon a cross pattee inscribed with "in hoc signo vinces" resting upon downward pointing swords in saltire is often used to represent the knights templar.

A lot of people mistake the Masonic community as a religion when in fact it is not a religion. Each one of the organizations is set up as a charity.

I can most definitely see why the WT would oppose a JW from being a member for two very big reasons if you are really into the Masonic community as I am you spend many hours a month and large sums of money doing charity work. I am sure WT wants both of those, your money is surely better spent sending it to those greedy, lying GB.

"Marked" for association with "worldly guy"

by Anon_SA1 in

jw
friends

my best friend has recently been "marked" for associating with a "worldly guy" what advice can you give me to pass onto her?

i am not a jw, never been one, so looking for guidance.

thank you in advance.

3rdgen,

Thank you for the detailed explanation of *date* I love it after 5 years of extensive phone calls 4 or 5 per day from him, meeting for meals (alone) and long walks as I drove through the state he lived in, many emails the "Elder " referred to all this as mentoring and counciling. Oh and the hugs and kisses were "only ever gave you a compassionate hug once when I thought you were suicidal and I never kissed you." And that got an instant response because I have never ever been close to being suicidal, I told him I am a mighty strong woman and can deal with just about anything life puts in front of me after I lost my son 35 years ago.

A call for JW lurkers to set matters straight!!!!!

by James Mixon in

not all are jw's here, think about the time you could get.

i know you are checking.

don't be shy, no one will ever know.

rebelfighter

I am fair game. Never a JW but here are your obstacles that you would have to overcome to convince me to become a JW and in this order

1. Absolutely will not tolerate lying in any format, I am Italian and tend to go balistics when I catch anyone lying.

2. I am a child's advocate. Includes sex abuse, physical abuse, and emotional abuse. I advocate for higher education for all children. I promote all forms of after school activities for enrichment of the arts and sports.

3. I am a women's advocate. I do charity work for abuse shelters and advocacy groups.

4. I am deeply involved in the Masonic community, actually a member of 3 different groups at this time. Have been involved for well over 40 years.

5. I believe in God and I am very spiritual but I do not believe in religion as they are all man made. I believe that had God created religion there would have been only one thus we would not have had all these Religious Wars. God wants us to love one another, get along and take care of each other and this planet.

6. I am not Gay but I do support the Gay community.

A Landlord Glimpse on Tenant’s Property

by Loi_241 in

when i look back, i wish that a landlord glimpse on my property and so she does not want more than me renting her home.

but, i still do not have a wish because she wants more money; she does not have to be satisfied to what she has.

and so a landlord commanded me to give the exact gifts, not let me to be a generous tenant to give whatever is from my heart.

rebelfighter

You need to watch landlords very closely they think they can steal from you and in some cases they figure they are above the law. As a tenant make yourself aware of what you tenant/landlord laws are and don't be afraid to quote them.

No Soliciting signage and JW Policy

by Oubliette in

does anyone have a copy of the boe letter directing publishers to not go into apartment complexes and/or condominium complexes with no soliciting signs?

i ask because yesterday and buttheaded jw (that obviously had no idea who i am or my past) was knocking on doors in our condo complex.

he would have had to drive past a sign which clearly states "no solicitation or material distribution.".

rebelfighter

Because I work from home and spend a lot of time on the phone right next to the door bell I had a very large in big print Absolutely NO Soliciting sign. So they would knock instead. I would answer the door with Can you NOT read? Pointing to the sign. Followed by Good bye. Of course that was before I knew about the child abuse now they get questions.
