1. jw

the following video was buzzing around bethel last week, it is also on their media website, there is also an awake article prepared to counter the fallout of the dateline program.

it appears that the borg are not prepared to take this without a fight.. however when people get to see the facts, not the spin, the fan will truly be hit my something not very nice.

Knock Knock...

2. experiences
i'd be interested in hearing some of the exjw's door-to-door experiences.

i've probably had the saturday morning door knocking...maybe 6-8 times.

i've never been "rude" except for once...when i had a particularly aggressive pair who wouldn't take "no thank you" for an answer.

this is taken from the very latest watchtower magazine and should be applied to many who sit in the high places of the watchtower organization.

here is the quote:.

"it is significant that these two waldensian pastors - daniele rivoire and guiseppe bancheti - expressed appreciation for the way russell explained the bible.

Nothing Worth Reforming

1. jw
2. friends
if you're struggling with becoming an ex-jw, stick with web.

sites like this one, as part of the healing process.. being here - and getting a better education - has helped me.

realize that the watchtower has little or nothing worth preserving,.

question about shepherding calls
by blindfool in
1. jw
2. friends
i'm just curious about something and thought some of the former elders and such could answer.. i know of some witnesses who are sick and can't come to the meetings.. we used to call them shut-ins in church.

i don't think that any elders or pioneers ever visit on a regular basis.

it seems to me that it would be easy for a pioneer to rack up some good hours by going by and having a weekley book study and wt study with these people.

What are some of your favorite urban legends?
by BQE in
1. jw
2. friends
mine is the story of a lady who was witnessing alone in an apartment building, and aparently she knocked on the door of some rapists/murderers/drug dealers......whatever......she was "saved" by two angels, only visible to the attackers, that accompanied her on that visit.

.

or how about the one where a householder had his finger on the trigger of a gun and was just about to pull it when.....all of a sudden....out of nowhere (drumroll please) a witness knocked on his door and offered him "the promise of everlasting life in the new system of thingstm"!!

by JT in
1. jw
2. friends
i think the small time lawyer will be out gunned on this one- most small towns always end up passsing goofy laws like this one.

while i have no love for wt i do know a poorly written law when i see one exp when the mayor is walking around in affect saying: "ww want to keep you people out".

the boys in legal laugh when they see some elective dude say some off the cuff remark like that.
