It sounds like the local congregation is about to have a c.o. visit and the elders need to report that they worked out of service with a candidate for ms, elder or even a 'problem' publisher. Perhaps late afternoon was the only time they could do it.

JW's on my block!!
by Wordly Andre init was about 5pm yesterday, i noticed 2 men in suits walking around my block, at first i thought they were only there to visit one house, but then they started going door to door, they were holding a magazine after the first house so then i knew, they were dubs, i grabbed my shot gun, holy water, and crucifix, and changed into my jehovah's witness protection program t-shirt.
too bad i had to leave home before they got around to my place, but i won tickets to disney's halloween treat, so i didn't get to confront them.
but what is up with door to door work so late?

If you aren't willing to take your wife along on this meeting, you shouldn't go.
If you don't take your wife along with you to the meeting, you shouldn't talk about anything with this crushette that wouldn't have been talked about if your wife had been there.
My .02 cents.

What are the society's bank account and PIN numbers?
There are thousands of crimes that have been committed by your clients earthly organization and its adherents. The case will be lost because the real truth cannot be obfuscated. Cut out the middle man of the court system and pay the victims direct.

Why can't Witnesses Gamble? There's nothing in the bible about it!!!
by Witness 007 inif caught in any form of gambling you will be disfellowshiped!!!!!
the principles are "gambling is greedy and selfish, putting faith in the goddess of good luck.
" this is lame!

I always wondered about that one also. What I remember about the argument was that it was similar to the birthday thing. Only two birthdays in the bible = birthdays are bad. The bible mentions the soldiers cast lots over Jesus cloak = gambling is bad. I never got a satisfactory answer as to why the left over apostles later cast lots to elect Matthias if it was such a bad idea. There is also a scripture in the old testament about not sacrificing to the gods of good fortune, but then again, wasn't the urim and the thummin along the lines of tossing a pair of dice?
Eh, I dunno, I've been wrong before.

New Kool-Aid Ingredient?
by WTWizard inthere has been plenty of comparison between the watchtower society, including speculation, about the jim jones cult that drank the kool-aid poisoned with cyanide.
there has been speculation that, if the watchtower society ever did the same thing, how many people would drink it.. however, there is a more plausible situation.
the watchtower society is after control.

When reading this thread it looked scary in a 'conspiracy theory' kind of way, but it reminded me of something the jw's had already done. In the middle of the last century there was a vaccine for a disease I can't remember now, possibly smallpox or polio. The witnoids came out in force against the vaccine and many took their children to get burned burned by acid to fake the circular scar the vaccine shot left behind. Perhaps someone else can confirm this. Anyway if the witlings are willing to go that far, can a Thorazine drip be far behind?

Not to sound flippant, but if DDT was made from blood, that story would have a completely different ending.
I did get a chuckle from the line "We however later conducted a survey with the legal representatives of Jehovah"
I have a few questions for the 'legal representatives of jehovah' I want to pose.

Your votes will decide: Farewell party for loyal dub VS. Ex-JW meetup
by OnTheWayOut ini am leaving this up to jwd votes.
please don't just attack the dubs and .
vote the other way because of personal feelings.

FWIW, my thinking is that the party is for the friend of your wife's and since she eventually gets over the jw mind game, reverts to being your friend also. It's a one-time event to tell her goodbye and show her support for her move. I'm sure your wife will appreciate you being there and keeping the wagging toungues of the congregation nincompoops from asking her questions about you. To quote dub speak you'll 'heap coals onto the head' of the others in attendance by being nice to them.
The ex-jw's will miss you but will understand your absence. Ex-jw's tend to be a forgiving lot.
