  How to spot: a single JW sister

  by purrpurr in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i remember this time of year when jw's desend en mass on one area.

  a fun game to play is "spot the..." whatever jw walking stereotype you choose.. so i thought i would play it with you guys, starting with how to spot a single jw sister.. i say, she will be dressed up to the nines, probably over dressed in fact, have hair immaculately coffied, make up plastered on, towering heels and be smiling at every brother in site.

  all they need is a sign saying "pioneer, virgin, available for marriage!".

  Article in New Yorker magazine

  by InquiryMan in

  i guess this article will be appreciated within the jw community, being on the positive side when discussing blood transfusion.

  it is the first of three articles to be published in that prestigious magazine.. http://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/how-jehovahs-witnesses-are-changing-medicine.

  THX problemaddict2 - I feel like sending a msg myself to that email, asking if the next two articles will include that JWs can now take blood fractions, but what about the JWs who have died decades ago before they got "new light" and were not permitted to take any form of blood.

  Jw kids setting off fire alarms in hotels

  by purrpurr in

  2. experiences

  a friend of mine is staying at a hotel next to one of the big convention sites this weekend.

  yesterday she tells me one of the hotels had to be evacuated and the fire brigade called when the fire alarm went off.. it turned out to be a bunch of jw kids having a prank.

  she had been speaking to the hotel manager who told her that this happens every year and only when the jw's come to stay!.

  I know a sister who teaches piano and she says that the non-JW kids are much better behaved than her JW students, Interesting, but not surprised.

  I wonder with all this sex abuse drama if Wt would ever apologize to Bill Bowen and Barbara Anderson.

  by joe134cd in

  2. child-abuse

  wt obviously must realize now the value of those that tried to enforce change on them.

  i think if it wasn't for these people doing what they did wt would be in even more drama now.

  so my question is do you ever think wt would voluntarily reinstate and publicly apologize to bill bowen and barbara anderson for all their hard work in bringing reform.

  The title of your post is a joke right? The Borg doesn't not admit there's such a word as apologize.\

  someone please tell me how or if i can find proof that the rumor [that is pasted below] that was posted by a friend [still in, but should know better] on my face book page is false, [which of course we all know it is,] this makes me so angry, i have to stick my neck out and comment on this post but need something to back me up....anyone want to enlighten me where this got started?

  i need proof he never said such a thing, it seems to me its false.

  whats interesting is this, the bible in the photo accompanying the statement below is the latest version.... [photo].

  Seems like Alex actually said "It's the most NON ACCURATE translation of the Holy Scriptures."

  THen of course the answer would be The Washtowel's edition of the Bible.

  Do you remember the 15 minute break at the Sun. meeting?

  by 3rdgen in

  a poster on another thread reminded me of when there was a 15 min.

  break between the talk and the wt study on sundays.

  the break was supposed to be to allow jw's time to drive their bible studys home from the talk.

  I saw one of the carts last week, isn't the title on one of the mags how to deal with anxiety or something similar, surely all of Jah's happy people will be cured as soon as they read that article won't they?
