there is a e-mail that is circulating in jw e-mail groups that is very disturbing, at least it is to me.

i was wondering if any here have seen it and what your thoughts are.

it's called thewholeworld3mb.wmv i don't know how to upload it so it can be seen or i would do so.

StillGroggy

I seen it. Don't have it though. "He's got the whole world in his hands" playing in background with shots of horrible things like 9-11.

From 1 to 10, What's the JW morale right now?

by JH in

if you could give a score from 1 to 10, 1 being the lowest, what do you think is the morale of the average witness right now, considering that not much that they predicted happened by now.. i would give them a 4, considering their new tract that came out recently, that might make them more optimistic that the end is closer..

You can always ask me, DISMEMBERED, although not sure if I count since im on this board

The "Oldies" are getting a kick out of it, since it probably reminds them of good old rutherford's days

The "Newbies" hate this tract, and are scared of placing it.

So I'd say it's somewhere in the middle, 4 sounds about right!

Active JWs, hows KN37 going?

by StillGroggy in

hey everybody, i had an interesting time pushing a tract that i don't believe in this weekend.

i had to develop my own method of placing it without having to talk about it, since i fear if i was confronted by someone asking "do you people think you're the only true religion", i might break down and tell the person at the door "no, i don't".

the witness at the door with me would scream in terror, and i would be insta-dfed.

The suggestion made by the brother conducting the meeting for service was that we could tuck the tract in the magazines. (Thought this was odd, and somewhat wimpy, but a great idea). So hide the tract in the mags I did!

My question is, for those here who are placing this crap, how are you dealing with it? How about any Pioneers or people going out during the week when you CAN't use the mags for cover?

Please Discuss

BTW, if any of you find me a hypocrite for not believing this is the true religion and still going out door-to-door, you're right, and I don't care. Anyone familiar with the JW system of control should realize that at this point, I have NO CHOICE!

Would You/Do You Remain As A JW "Technically"???

by minimus in

jw
friends

technically, since i am not df'd or dissasociated, i am considered by witnesses as an inactive jw.

i do not actively look to get df'd as i have family that are witnesses.

if i were ever df'd, then i'd deal.

StillGroggy

Im an active JW, going through the motions, but since I'm hanging out with you Postates, God's carving my name on a bullet right now...

HAHA

The Bible's Candid Nature as a Proof of Divine Inspiration

by under_believer in

jw
friends

one of the proofs the witnesses (and others) use as proof of the bible's divinely inspired nature is its supposed candor in exposing israel's and others' flaws.

if it were written by men, the argument goes, they would have hidden their failures, inadequacies, and weaknesses.

so, we see moses taking credit for producing water from the crag; we see all of the israelite kings who "did what was bad in the eyes of yahweh.

StillGroggy

I always thought this made the bible unique, but it in no way proves divine authorship.

Wouldn't It Be Nice...

by Justice-One in

jw

wouldn't it be nice if we lived in a world were religion/cults did not get in the way of family relations?

i have now gotten the "cold shoulder" for almost two weeks from my wife of almost 28 years.

i'm sure it has something to do with finally telling her the elders can kiss my ass, and that i don't want to be there when the kool-aid comes out.

StillGroggy

Hi Justice-One. I fear I may be in the same boat as you one day, we'll see.

Nice to meet you, im new to JWD
