My Humble Opinion of This Forum

by turtleturtle in

jw
friends

first off, i love frequenting this forum.

it has given me the opportunity to truly put jw stuff to the test and i thank everyone for their helpful responses.. however, i have noticed a couple things.. 1) the use of the word "troll" is completely childish.

this is no different than the name calling used by jws (e.g.

cognac

I agree with the whole troll thing being used around here WAY to often... It's been really obnoxious at times...

Oh, good! To go along with what Coffee said, these women ARE NOT being kind to you or your wife especially. If I were you, I'd never say these women are kind to your wife... She could very well take that as you are not on her side...

So out of all the suggestions, are you going to implement any of them?

I would just be all over her and don't bother with these women until she feels more secure. If a woman is talking to you go on and on about how awesome your wife is.

Put your arms around her constantly, flirt with her incessantly, put your hands in back of her jean pockets, especially when you are in public, etc, etc, etc.

Why don't JWs get classified as a Cult instead of a Religion under the Law?

i mean, can't any shmuck say they are a religion, then get all these tax breaks while at the same time tell people to murder, commit suicide, etc?.

Cults should be illegal by law. Lets make this simple. If you attempt to force the following via excommunication or otherwise, you are a cult:

1. To commit murder

2. To commit suicide

3. To forego life saving medical treatment (which is basically murder)

Interesting District Convention News.....

by Pyramid Scheme in

i wanted to share some news from a family friend (he is my wt mole - still an elder, hates the shenanigans, but is still hanging on for all the reasons often discussed on this site) i know the various rumors have been discussed on here, and unfortunately the rumor about the conventions being eliminated weren't true!

(what a burden on the jw community - financial hardship for a good portion of them, guilting people into actually quitting their job to attend, physically exhausting for many, etc...etc......).

anyway, he told me that the district convention is being moved to 11 weekends at the jw-owned circuit assembly hall, and they are no longer planning on renting stadiums/large facilities in our area (northern ohio/southern michigan).
