i was doing some work on my car, when this dub turns up to give me the tract.
he makes his presentation in a way that doesnt promote discussion.
unfortunately i feel slightly frustrated that i didnt ask him a few questions, ok he wouldnt have listened or would have claimed to go away and research it, but still i felt i missed a golden opportunity to give a 'witness' back.

chicken is either against us, or for us.
way that chicken was going.
yes, the chicken crossed the.
In my best Michael Jackson voice:
I could never hurt a chicken--that's ridiculous. To let a chicken cross the road is a beautiful thing.

We all wear masks figuratively speaking.

according to the current dogma of jehovah's witnesses:.
those who hear and ignore the warning will be destroyedthose who do not hear might be spared (if jehovah so chooses)any who do not receive the mark in their foreheads (per ezekiel) will not be sparedany who are of responsible age (interpretted by jehovah) and are not baptized will not be sparedjehovah does not desire any to be destroyed but desires all to attain to repentancemore people are born every year than get baptized, adding to the death toll every year.
in case you doubt whether that statement is true, consider this:.
According to Ezekiel 3:17, the dogma is not that Jehovah will read the hearts of those who do not hear the message. They are goners too!
I have pointed this out many times when the subject comes up. Many in the borg believe Jehovah will read hearts and I cannot imagine they came up with this idea on their own. It is just not like them.
Do you have references from WTBTS publications that state Jehovah will read their hearts and spare them at Armageddon? I would be interested.
Please PM since these posts are difficult to find again.

i just talked to my mom (dub) yesterday, which was poorly timed (after there meeting).
she tells me that the speaker said in his talk that there are two sides in this world - jehovah's side and satan's side.
if you are not on jehovah's side, then you are on satan's side.
Why...yes..yes it was! Mat Rolls, did you know him!
Yes I did. He was a "Circuit" Overseer!

a big thank you to those who created this board and for all the amazing people who post here.. truth be told (no pun intended) i have seen other religious boards out there but never felt compelled to join since i didn't feel qualified to speak one way or the other regarding their beliefs.
this board is another story.
i was raised as a witness but never thought so many people all over the world had a similiar past as i did.
often have information before it is even released to the JWs
Yes JWD connections must extend all the way into the upper echelon of the WTBTS.

looking at the different ways my sister and i approach life, i'd decided people are either peaches or they're lobsters.
my sister is all tough and crusty on the outside.
you'd never know if something is bothering her.
Some flavors nature never intended. Those are forbidden.

>thought these were funny, please ignore if they're old news.
> these are some jokes that jeff foxworthy had to say about jehovah's .
> the fact is that they are somewhat accurate.
you realize things are getting worse, and you're thrilled.
How macabre!

do you believe water witching actually works?
i had lunch with an ex-dub friend yesterday who told me that many years ago, when she was still a witness, her landlord's son came over (they rented a farm) and he showed her that it did work.
she had been fully prepared to say "ha!
I grew up drinking that water.
That explains a lot!
