Ring Home Security commercial featuring JW's
by duc007az inthe other day i was perusing on facebook and stumbled on a sponsored advertisement for ring home security.
the commercial was saying how you can monitor unwanted soliciting without answering the door.
anyway, the solicitors at the door were jw's offering the awake and watchtower.

It seems to me that if someone comes to a stranger's door uninvited that the householder has every right to record the visit and to use the recording in any legal way. There may be restrictions in some locations as to using the recording in court (consent issues) but that's a whole 'nuther discussion. -

The OP asked for poster's thoughts. Here are mine:
OP is a complete A** for posting "speculation" and "fantasizing" concerning a matter that neither he nor the other humans mentioned know anything about.
OP: Click bait? Trying to raise the number of your posts? Wanting to be popular on the board? What is your reason for posting such drivel? Wanting to make JW's look bad? You look worse, imo.
Now rant away, I stand by what I say. Thanks for asking for feedback.

So how do we start a Scholorship for JW and EXJW Students?
by Luther bertrand init is my contention that jw children are intellectually abused by being brainwashed to not have the choice of pursuing higher education.
so, how do we help these victims?
would a jw/exjw offer some help?

"We" don't do anything. If *you* want to do something then do it, it's your contention. -

We've Come A Long Way Baby!! Compare these two pieces of propaganda
by Terry ini was one year out of high school and attending the assembly in dallas, texas when i heard the buzz about this new half-hour move--an actual movie the watchtower had produced called "heritage.
"so, all of us teens (i was 19) sat in the vast audience and the lights went down and the screen flickered as our hearts beat a little faster in anticipation.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kiiu0tm_dym___________i don't think our reaction (those of us young jw's) was quite what the propaganda master minds in ny had in mind!we were embarrassed at how awful this film was.it was beyond being a 1950's style b-grade teen rebellion film.
this piece of crap reflected badly on the very idea the supreme being was directing it!

"Peace of mind and self-respect" Well, they weren't wrong about that, the older I get the more I realize the truthfulness of that statement. (Watch "Heritage" for context.)
I didn't see the movie until it was shown at a District Assembly in 1986. That dinner table scene scared the wits out of me! It was totally inappropriate for family viewing; my little children had never experienced the kind of behavior exhibited by the father in that scene and they were as traumatized as I was.
Ugh!

Can God do everything? Can he sin?
by James Mixon inreading this and it made me think, god cannot do everything.
god is holy and he cannot.
sin.

Isn't that what's called a false dilemma?
Perhaps "sin" is a "human" concept thus not applicable to "God."

Americans aren't allowed to grow their own food?
by purrpurr ini was recently told by an american i was chatting to online that in the usa people are not allowed to grow their own food.
she said that if you have a vegetable patch or something that the government will come along and bulldoze it?
she said that farmers are not allowed to grow food either and that the government bulldozes the crops if they grow?.

In some areas Americans are not allowed to grow anything but flowers and shrubs on the front of the property (the side facing the road), if they do some municipalities will remove the objectionable plantings, usually vegetables. This is changing in some places where public opinion is with the gardener.
There are, or were, Federal government programs which paid farmers not to grow certain crops in order to keep the economy balanced according to plan. There have been cases where the government came in and destroyed crops but it's not common.

From my perspective it looks like you need to think seriously about finding another company. Not easy, for sure, but if push comes to shove it's going to be you that's pushed out. Be prepared.
