Ask your parents if the JWs believe in the scripture that says "no man knows the day nor hour"
THen ask why are they taking the word from a man that this world will end in four years.
to give a little background, my parents are in their late 50s.
around a year ago, my elder dad got laid off from his job.
he worked as a auto mechanic making ok money.
"it's the intent that counts not the result.".
i have been out of the jw organization for some 22 years now and i sometimes get a reminding jolt out the hoops that some will jump through to make their religion make sense to them.
the first line in this post is what a jw on the street here in salinas told me on saturday when trying to justify the society's history of false prophecies.
i saw seven the other day - the girls on one side the men on the other.
a couple fo them were drinking their starbucks.. so for every hour, 7 of "preaching" can be counted.
truly jehoobie is expanding the work in this final part of the time of the end!!.
I've noticed there's a new rule now with the carts. For the last three or four weeks every cart I see now there's always one person sitting. Before either the 2 or 3 that were there always stood. So I guess Almighty Jah spoke to one of the drunken GBs and has now allowed one person to sit while the other stands. I wonder how many minutes the Almighty deemed they can sit down, before of course letting the other person have their turn.
jw love to make a big deal about christmas but the reality is alot of people have time off work from christmas to new years.
we like to go home.
with me being an ubm does it become an issue within the cong ?
i have words that irritate me and not always without reason.. my latest hate is the word: 'solutions' as used by so many businesses in their title these days.
y'know, 'something innane business solutions' and such balderdash.. i loathe that word now.
arrrrggghhhhhh!
ok so i know its not really anything to do with jwness but we are struggling with baby names and really can't think of one we both like.
its getting a bit desperate as i'm due in about 8 weeks .. i'm getting bored of looking at the same old names on the baby names websites so any suggestions would be much appreciated (girls please).. **cash prize for the one we choose!
** ....... no not really lol.. .
ok, so in the interests of balance....(as it has rightly been pointed out that i am getting more bitter toward the org), can we think of any positive or nice things about jehovah's witnesses?.
just throwing this topic out there....... .

GUstv mentioned rebuking the faith, there's an article on HuffPo about Coco Rocha, she's a model and a JW, I've made a few comments over there saying that if some of the sister in any Cong posed in some of the outfits she has and some nosy elder's wife finds about it, how long before you're hauled into the backroom for a "a little chat"?
