today while i was home for a quick lunch break i got a knock at the door.
i opened the door and was surprised to see two elderly jehovah's witnesses women.
i haven't been called on since i've been out for four years, so this was a bit of surprise.
donuthole,
I hope my family says "hi" back to you when you greet them. I am doing well. Hope you and your family are also.
Snakes,
It's great to not care any more and be able to put my name out there on this board. Good for you for reaching that point also.

donuthole,
I know that sister, too. Very sweet lady and were it not for the fact you are df'd, she would have hugged you and been excited to see you and find out what is going on with you. How sad that she is so misguided as to follow the dictates of the Watchtower Society. Good for you in acting how the Spirit has taught you. JW's are taught to act totally in opposition to the Spirit and don't even realize it.

today is sunday.
i ranted about being sick of my job a couple of months ago, seen that the thread was bumped yesterday.
i usually work 2 or 3 days of the weekend (fri-sun) because that is when i make the most money (being commission and all).
Fingers cross here, too, Rich. Hope you get it.
i've received two phone calls today from a family member and from another family member who's now in a fade (but has kept it well hidden).
relatives and other dubbies in their area are in a bit of a tizzy that the big a is about to hit.
i mean, they can't get to the k-hell fast enough today!
I'm with you, Moshe. Religion is all man-made, just like the Bible.

"The fact is throughout human history religious beliefs have been under attack, right back to biblical times.
One cultural civilization opposing another civilizations religious spiritual beliefs."
For sure - religion has been one of the biggest reasons for fomenting war that there ever has been. Even looking at the history of Indian tribes in the Americas, there was a lot of warfare that was conducted to wipe the other tribe's religion out. Of course it was tied up in that they needed the approval of the gods to give them what they needed to grow food and survive and they felt if someone had a false god that the gods would punish them by withholding rain and causing natural disasters. But religion has always been under attack.
yesterday i got to ask my kids what they thought of the convention they just had.
response was 'really good'.
daughter liked the drama but could not say why or what the lesson was... so i figure she liked it because it was more interesting than the regular talks.
Great job! You are definitely helping him to think for himself. I hope you have good results from it.

My mother was all excited about the minister in Florida who was going to burn the Qu'ran. She thought it would bring the destruction of Babylon the Great. She even asked me, who has not had anything to do with KH and JW in years, if I thought it would bring "the attack on Babylon the Great". I told her "No" in no uncertain terms. What a big disappointment it must have been for her when that nutjob decided not to burn the Qu'ran.
How sad that so many are so deluded.
are the feinds really following the counsel not to holds or cuddle during the prayer?.
has there been any additional counsel on this subject?.
or is it being ignored?.
"on another note, i had the inestimable priviledge of viewing the october kingdumb ministry...in which there is a most enlightening article written apparently with sensitivity to the minimal IQ factors....in which they define various "parts" of the service meeting. First, there is a "talk". This is what a speaker does standing on the platform and the audience just listens. A "question and answer" part involves certain questions being posed to the audience. The audience may respond when called upon and parrot back whatever the "answer" is. Seriously....are they all brain dead???? How can they stand the stupidity???"
Love this comment - makes me think of how they would pick apart a paragraph in the KM and look for, and get, answers ad infinitum/ad nauseum on the same paragraph, pointless little blurbs of garbage. Minimal IQ factors is so right - everything is tailored to low IQ, including the admonishment to not hold hands during prayer.
"and this good news of the kingdom will.
be preached in all the inhabited earth for a. witness to all the nations; and then the end.
bible are more familiar to jehovah's witnesses than the.
Excellent article. A reminder, once again, that JW's have put their own interpretations on scriptures in order to form a base for their beliefs. This was good to read.
occassionally the mr will say that "some visitors are shocked because we will talk about sex, even with children in attendance.
" what exactly are they talking about in these meetings.
things like "don't masturbate" or things like if you position yourself like this, and your woman like this while having sex, then you're fornicating?.
Regarding foreplay, I recall that it was regarded as a matter of conscience as to whether it should be indulged in, but it was one of those things that they wanted to qualify with a remark about keeping in mind Jehovah's standards.
