  Sounds like what the GB still believe. They just don't say it out loud where it can be recorded anymore.

  Trademark office rejects Watchtower's application for "JW.Org" logo

  even though watchtower's application has been rejected, they will be allowed to use the logo because it is for religious usage and will not be confused with commercial products.. the trademark office did note this:.

  indeed, numerous other marks are registered reflecting the letters j and w:.

  JW = Janitor's World

  I love it!

  The best I could come up with for JW.org was jerk wad dot org. Janitor's World dot org is absolute perfection.

  Playing the dating Game..............how do you play?

  by KateWild in

  everyone knows i have been playing this dating game, and what a fun game it has been.

  i have met a few nice guys but remained strictly platonic, and also met some really pushy guys too that just wanted sex.. i have not met mr right yet, but who knows what the platonic guys could evolve into.. it's all a game and anyone who says they don't play games when dating is lying.

  does a man always have to make the first move?.

  "Does a man always have to make the first move?"

  That's kinda where the online dating differs from real world contact. Although the guy is expected to make the first move in real world situations, the woman can send plenty of signals beforehand to indicate his chances of success. Online is different. I don't have the experience to have much input on the subject, but I would think that if a woman only posted her profile and sat back waiting for the right person to contact her, or just chatted until a guy asked her to meet, she might be missing out on some great opportunities.

  Hello

  i thought it was high time to introduce myself (without my name of course).

  as my name would suggest i have been reading your intriguing post, thoughts and discussions for some time now.

  around 3/4 months to be exact.. i guess to start with it would seem fitting to give a little background on my current situation.. i'm a born-in, but have over the last few years found that through a number of varying occurences, (some of which i may discuss in future posts) that my 'zeal' has gone from regular field service and meetings to no service in over a year and very sporadic meeting attendance.

  Clearly your mother underestimated how annoying and idiotic her religion and the elders are!

  Did those elders at least change out of their janitor uniforms before they came to your room?

  what a joke the campaign is.....the sheeple are so blind.

  what does this have to do with what jesus taught us to do.

  i feel like i was campaigning for a politician.. next thing your going to see on the website is a donation button visible to all vistors without having to log in just bypass the middle man.

  Perfect Relationship, He Still Broke Up With Me

  by tiff21390 in

  2. relationships

  last month, my best friend of four years and boyfriend of six months came home from a jehovah's witness convention.

  he'd been acting strangely the entire weekend and i knew something was wrong.

  i initiated a discussion and he said, "essentially our relationship is wrong and i'm not supposed to be with you.

  "I just would like some advice and encouragement on how to deal."

  You've given him plenty of chances. Frankly, he isn't much of a man. Although he's seemed to show you his deeper, truthful side, what he's given you is just another facade. He talks to you about your future plans for togetherness and family, but then he goes to the KH where the JWs plan for a future where all nonJWs (yourself included) will have their heads smashed open as Jehovah drops rocks from the sky.

  My advice? Your time and energy would be much better invested elsewhere. My encouragement? This has been a valuable learning experience for you. You can be glad that you didn't spend more time and energy on him.

  "He was my best friend in every sense and was always there for me. I still love him so much. I've decided to end all contact with him as it hurts too much to now realize that he's ok with having sex and carrying on with me without committing to me. I'm hurt because he's not the man I've known. He's a stranger now."

  You both have changed. You now realize that a best friend shouldn't be treating you like a "dirty little secret", keeping you away from his friends and family. He has changed too because he can't keep up the work required of his double-life.

  Poignant Statistics Summary for Comment at This Sunday WT Study! (Aug. 3, 2014)

  by SAHS in

  2. friends

  the watchtower study to be considered this sunday, august 3, 2014 (using the magazine dated may 15, 2014), titled are you moving ahead with jehovahs organization?, in paragraph seven (on pages 27-28), talks about the number of people baptized in recent years:.

  7 where do those making up the great crowd come from?

  they are being brought together because of what jesus foretold as part of the sign of his presence.

  There are none so blind as those who refuse to see.

  Now that you're waking up from the WT-induced stupor, you are able to connect the dots. As for the other sheeple, their minds are awash in unreasonable words from the cult and their time too wasted by unproductive recruiting to stop and take a real look at the things that you are seeing.

  i've been browsing the site for some time as things that the society teach just are not adding up much these days.

  by exploring some of the threads on here i'm starting to see why.

  a brief bio.

  Welcome!

  "Question. Can the society put spyware on my computer when I go to jw.org? I'm frightened they will find out I'm on this site??"

  You have WT technology confused with our old fears of demunz and smurfs. If jw.org was really able to spy on the other sites that JWs were visiting, there would already be a massive wave of JWs dfd for frequenting porn sites.

  Ugh! Those are some toxic relatives that you need to disfellowship from your life.
