Good question. Even if stoning isnt' the method used, the fact is that all who don't think/feel/act in the approved fashion will be eliminated. This is one of the things that made me realize I don't really want to live in the new ~~regime~~ system.

Things You HATED About Being a JW

by minimus in

there were a few things that i hated about being a witness.. i love music and live concerts.

quite often i'd have to play my music privately or hide an album cover for fear it might "stumble" someone.

i hated worrying whether someone was going to somehow get "stumbled.. regarding going to concerts, it seemed that certain artists only came to town on a meeting night and i'd miss the shows.. what did you hate about being a jehovah's witness?.

Hermano

I hated that I wasted so much energy trying to get the approval of a "loving" God/Dad who is EXTREMELY picky and petty.

Proof WBTS is downgrading 1914

maybe they're keeping the doctrine but they are not writing about it as much in the watchtower.. below are statistics from their 07 cd showing how many times 1914 was mentioned in the watchtower for each year 1950 to 2006 .

i have divided the years 1950 2006 into segments of eight excepting for the last, which is nine.. on the side i have the average for those years.

notice they have gone from 88.87 a year to 24.44. .

Hermano

Interesting research... I agree 1914 is getting stale and they know it.

Comical Memories While You Were A Witness

in all the years i was a witness, i must admit there were some pretty funny things that i can remember.

i can't forget the time after i had given a public talk and the sister who played the piano ran from the bathroom to the piano with half of her dress still tucked in her pantyhose.

brothers and sisters were trying in vain to run down the long aisle but to no avail.

Hermano

That was hilarious LFCv.

by karter in

we had a hard core bunch of elder drunks all 5 of them could drink like there was know tomorrow my father who was never a jw and liked a drink had nothing on these guys at jw weddings ect they would ask my dad to be barman because he was a big guy know one would argue with he would refuse to serve some elders because they had to much

Hermano

The 15 year old son one of the elders in my congregation once came to the meeting drunk as hell. I mean, so drunk he didn't remember any of it the day after. Sad and funny at the same time.

Fairy tale characters / Bible characters

by LtCmd.Lore in

friends

the day to day life of a bible character is pretty similar to that of a character right out of a grimms fairy tale.. witches are a real threat.

you can go down to the local spiritist and get really useful information.

you have your magic pots that constantly contain food, if that fails you can count on a bird to bring you food.

Hermano

Good stuff. Thanks for sharing.

Would You Trust A JW To Be Honest More Than The Average Person?

by minimus in

jw
friends

i know many very honest jws.

if i had someone do work for me, clean my home, etc.----i'd generally be more at ease with a faithful jw over most others.

in the matter of housekeeping, i'd think that they might be nosier but i doubt they'd outrightly steal from me.. what's your thought on this subject?.

Hermano

Not the way most of them count/report their field service time.

Cats and JW's

by kwr in

i just came across a web site that purports that cats are demonic supposedly published by the watchtower, but i went to the official jw web site and they have an article about pets and a picture of a cat on a mans lap.

so did the jw's at one time df people for kitties or is this a joke?
