I Am Legend JW email
by Descender inso my sister-in-law, who is a pretty hardcore jw, showed me an email that looked like it had been passed around quite a bit, so i figured someone on here had probably seen it.
supposedley it's a picture from the movie "i am legend" where will smith is walking through new york and all the buildings in the background are in ruins except for the bethel building, which stands out, undamaged and clean.
i watched the movie and don't remember seeing anything like that so i just figured that some jw photoshopped it and sent it out to the jw community to show that the bethel building is protected by god even in a post apocaliptical world run over with zombie vampires.

Believing Everything Someone Tells You
by minimus inare you the type of person that believes everything a person says?.
typically, my radar goes up, especially if a person either brags about all his or her accomplishments or tells you a sob story about how awful their life is.. i was reading here today about how some posters have been upset with others for either feeling someone is fraudulent or is uncaring or caring too much.. the funny thing is that most of us never really know who or what a person/poster is all about.
they could be perfectly upfront and tell you everything in a most truthful way or they could be conning you.

I usually give people the benefit of the doubt, but if something trips my "BS meter" I'll usually go with that instead

Unexplained Mormon "miracles"...Unexplained JW "miracles"
by FormerMormon inok... lets get the ribbing aside.
our mormon "miracles" are more unexplainable than yours.... one of the many tools used by the morg to keep it's members active is the use of faith promoting stories involving apparent miracles... or the unexplainable.
there are unexplainable stories even in my own family.

Our God was alot more subtle than yours.
Part of the belief is that miracles died with the first congregation so anyone claiming to see something spiritual would be counseled and thought to be possessed by demons.
Our miracles were very vanilla like a loaf of bread falling off a truck. Smuggling literature into a banned country or a tree falling on a neighbours house rather than the kingdom hall.
Very bland, I wish I my mom became a mormon instead of a witness. :( -

Atheists - What is the meaning of life?
by Paralipomenon inpersonally i am a agnostic with a complete rejection of a personal god.
without the concept of salvation my belief structure states that when i die, very likely that is it.
no amount of good or bad deeds will extend my life past the point of my death.

After you die, you may be remembered for a few years by some, by many if you make a deep impression or be written into the history books if you make a large impact on the world. But the end is still the same.
If there is no afterlife, what is the meaning of life? -

Obsessed Ex-JWs----Are You One Of Them?
by minimus inare you consumed by your having been a witness?
are you very angry all the time because of your jw past?.
have you ever thought about recieving professional therapy?

No, No, and No.
There are more worthwhile things worthy of my devotion. Spending time being angry takes away from time I can be spending being happy. -

One More Reason Not to Book Hotel on WT List
by WTWizard inalthough i don't know this as a fact, i suspect that the wts is negotiating some pretty lucrative rebates from these hotels (which of course the rank and file jw pays) because they can guarantee a full house at $xxx per night.
this came from last year's thread about the rooming department km insert, and will almost certainly apply this year.
but, when the watchtower society negotiates with hotels, they are not having difficulties negotiating just for the price that you, the attendee, pay.

I wonder if the value of the "comped" rooms are added to expenses that are reported to the assembly?

Worst WT term ever
by Robert7 inmy vote for the worst watchtower term is:.
circumcision of the heart!.
i can't believe that there are people who can not only say "circumcision of the heart" with a straight face in front of the congregation, but defend its 'meaning'.. other runners up in my opinion:.

I remember an elder in the sunday talk ad-libbing in a funny story that he thought applied. He gets to the punch line and says "...and then the falls down the f**king elevator".
My eyes go wide and I look around the hall. There's a few others with the same expression. I get up and go to the bathroom and my friend and brother follow me and we all heard it.
Nobody else did.
We couldn't believe it and it wasn't until much later that we realized that most of the people there just aren't paying attention.
