feb kingdom ministry 2015, irate householders, "we don't apologize for our work", "did they hear rumors about jws"?
why so angry?
blood or disfellowshipping?.
perhaps regarding disfellowshipping or blood?
Like a JW is going to be able to explain WT's crazy blood fraction policy at the door? Explain how a dub would be DFd for getting red blood cells but not for getting hemoglobin? Albumin is okay, but getting platelets would convene a judicial committee?
"one member of the governing body of jehovah's witnesses repeated the well-known saying: 'to know where we are going, we have to know where we have come from.'".
you will find this statement on jw.org - under activities - the museum - "a tour through time.
there jw.org is featuring a slick advertisement for the tour at brooklyn, bethel, of watchtower's museum containing their version of the history of the organization.

anthony morris is ranting against higher education.
he is blaming parents for enrolling their kids in college.
Brumley said after he went to college he became competitive and wouldn't recommend college to others. ... Tight pants made the comment that bethel won't send anymore members to college to be lawyers. ... He ended the rant by saying the best career is pioneering and that's what young Jws should do.
If pioneering really is "the best career," ToMo and PhilBrum should put their money where their mouths are and step out from the bright lights and cameras and go back to the field, knocking on doors and earning money working as janitors. In fact, bethel should dismiss all bethelites with college degrees. Although this will mean that they will lose some talented people, wouldn't it prove that they truly are "relying on Jehovah"? Just pick some newboy with barely a GED to become the bethel doctor, wouldn't that prove that university training doesn't matter?
Of course, they won't do that, because they know that a college degree matters more than relying on imaginary sky-daddy.
And Brumley may as well come out and say, "Now that I have my degree and a very comfortable position, let me pull up that ladder of 'higher education' and just get that out of your way while you're sweeping the floor beneath me!

"I've had enough of these pagan tight pants! I'm replacing them with a proper, modest, Christian skirt like Jesus wore!"
well today the watchtower conductor makes the statement that "the tv.jw.org web site is proof that we have jehovah's blessing because such an endeavor would have been impossible without his help".
of course that causes all of the bobbing heads in full agreement.
i wonder what god blessed cbs, abc, and nbc to get up and going and offer their programming?.
web site is proof that we have Jehovah's blessing because such an endeavor would have been impossible without His help
And the thousands of porn websites would have been impossible without Jehovah's help!
our being at the meeting today is proof that we have the Truth
That's just crazytalk.
the situation: a neighbor's child and mine have played together for 8 years.
her mother is a single parent, and a probable narcissist.
loves designer clothes, bentleys, money, will not date a regular joe or even a rich man who doesn't drive the right car, wear the right clothes, etc.
Do I say anything to the single mom, or is it just all wasted words?
I suspect that you'd be wasting your words, time, and energy. It would be like trying to reason with a hard-core JW.
ok, so the time has finally come to register an account on this site.
not that i think i have much to contribute to the discussions here, but more out of a desire to show that yet another person has learned ttatt.
i am a fader, not discussing ttatt with anyone as i know the inevitable outcome it would have.
Welcome LMR!
I was at that time not impressed by what i read here though, to me the image of apostates as bitter people was reaffirmed by what I saw here so I didn't pay any attention to any of the material readily available here.
It's hard not to be bitter once we learn TTATT. As a JW, I learned how to be bitter and hostile towards other religions, politics, business, the entire real world. As an exJW that bitterness has been sharpened and focused upon Watchtower Corp.
...hope to gradually plant small seeds in my best friend to make him wake up and see...
In case you're interested in my observations:
the subject of the study was jesus resurrection .
my post is not about the subject and whether or not that can be believed in.
millions of christians do and it is not my place to debunk religious faith.
We have even MORE proof that Santa Claus is real:

Not only did Jesus and the first century Christians NOT wear neckties, they didn't wear pants!
Trousers have a long non-Judea-Christian history and Jesus in his prehuman existence would have been well aware of their existence and practicality. However, Jesus never wore pants or cheap polyester suits. Why? Clearly because these were associated with pagans including Chinese, Celts, Persians, etc. that were part of Satan's world. Pants were popular with warriors on horseback, so wearing pants would be as acceptable to a true christian as walking around with an AK45 slung over the shoulder.
Rumor has it that an early Church father, Antonio Morrisianium the Thirdian, condemned pants as a tool of pagan homosexuals that in the snugness of their fit caused pagan tingly sexual arousal of Christian naughty parts.

270,000 people in Builder Assist (we want to reduce this down to 30,000)
They used to boast about how they were increasing the numbers because it was all part of the training of the multitudes for all the construction to be done in the "new order". Now they're reducing the number and reference the account of Gideon reducing his army to 300.
Such spin doctors to point to decreases as proof of blessing and growth.
