  ok, it's time.

  we've had opportunity to observe the 8 gb members speaking ability.

  now it's our turn to give our honest ratings...using their own form, of course!

  4 zombies at the door.

  i come out with the nwt and ask who wants to talk about the bible.

  if you don't want to talk about the bible why the fuck did you knock and counting time.

  just reinforces what jw's think of us so called apostates, just think what any active jw's lurking reading this insane rant would think! doesn't do any good at all, probably best not to even be allowed to post his bilge.

  My JW Elder Brother Passed Away

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  he was basically a good man, just a believer in the religion.

  when we were both elders we were best of friends and then things deteriorated when i was not an elder for a while.

  then after becoming an elder again, i slowly drifted away from the religion and he drifted further away from me.

  My impressions of the cart witnessing

  by Sour Grapes in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i have watched tons of youtube videos of our exjdub friends approaching and talking to the jdub manikins at their carts as they give a great witness to the world by sipping their hot lattes, updating their social media, chit chatting to each other, and the most important thing of getting their time in, counting their hours.. when the jw's see someone approach with a camera they do several things, they will turn their backs on the person, or look at the person with a frown and act like the person isn't even there.

  the witlesses refuse to answer simple, clear, and precise questions.

  when i was an elder i loved to get into discussions and debates with trinitarians, priest, clergymen and those who were born again.

  2018 Courage Convention video invitation

  by Listener in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the video invitation for the 2018 convention is just creepy.

  i thought it was some parody at first as it seems 'dark'.it begins with a young man being pushed whilst standing at his locker and the voice over says that 'in critical times we need courage more than ever'.

  next, comes a clip of a male putting his hand on the shoulder of a female worker, the look she gives him would be enough to give him nightmares for the next year.

  Do any of the 144,000 in heaven take part in the destruction at Armageddon?

  by Bonnie_Clyde in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i wondered about that when i heard garret loesch state that shortly before the tribulation the governing body would be taken up.

  .

  if this is the case, it seems like garret and the other seven would be there just in time to help out in the killing of billions.. i thought they used to say that some would survive armageddon before they were taken up..

  to think the fate of billions lie in the hands of characters such as Mad Freddie,Knorr, the paedophile Percy Chapman, the loon Carl Klein, Tight Pants Tony and the educationally sub normal Lett, and even worse Jaracz, what an insane prospect

  SBF I think if t they reversed the shunning policy and completely dropped the the blood ban it would give a little increase and they'd be back to the norm in a couple of years
