  My Parents have gone FULL CULT MODE! Having a job is SATANIC!

  by BU2B in

  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.

  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.

  "It's the intent that counts and not the result."

  "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.

  Hey BOTR since you're probably still reading all the comments here, that's the way to do it.

  Next time you're in the special waiting room for those who prepaid for their tickets at the Newark train station. If you see the SIster again, print out Donny's post here and learn.

  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.

  Can a JW go home for Christmas ??

  by Clambake in

  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 remember when I was growing up in the cong the wives with husbands who weren't in were told they should fix the holiday meal for their husbands, I guess they flip flopped on that one as well, they don't say that anymore ?

  Words that irritate

  by punkofnice in

  1. jw

  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!

  The word amazing is really on overkill now and the word yummy needs to take a hike as well. Only kids under the age of 7 should describe food as being yummy, not adults

  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.. .

  How about going the "hood rat" route for some uniques names? Or to make that sound more PC I guess I should say "urban names"

  My all time favorite being Fruitquana (saw that one in papers so all I can say about that is at least her mother knew how to spell the word fruit correctly)

  So there is something good about the JWs as Muddy Waters points out in his comment ,"They know how to arrange and stack chairs"

  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"?
