  What is it with these conventions?

  by tryingtounderstandjws in

  my friend that is a jw spent the last week doing all kinds of things that go against everything i've been reading about jw's.

  for example, drinking, hanging out with "worldly" people, gambling, having sex outside marriage and just basically living it up and doing whatever they wanted.

  now, they're at this convention for the last two days and they're acting like a robot, spewing bible verses and talking about how evil the world is with all it's problems and immorality.

  If you want to leave the truth, just walk away!

  a close relative recently called me verbatim, "a bad, bad, bad apostate and a sinner against the holy spirit" .. the apostate remark didn't bother me, actually it's a compliment when you think about it.. saying i was a "sinner against the holy spirit" that did bother me.

  this got me to wondering about all the names, accusations and labels given to people who don't want to be a jw anymore.. doing a quick search in the insight books i came up with a list.. apostates pg.126, antichrist pg.116, man of lawlessnes pg.

  310, resurrection - sinning against the holy spirit pg.

  Can somebody explain the time sheet process

  by tryingtounderstandjws in

  is it an actual form that you fill out and submit to the main office?

  do you break down the hours and what you did?

  did anyone find it fun or help encourage them to do more, or was more time just spent getting creative with it?

  i've had something on my mind for a while.. the local county paper, (30000 copies/week) goes in all mail boxes on thursdays for free.. in it, every week people anonymously petitions or thank st.jude or other saints, you know what i'm talking about (i hope).. just to mess with the local boe,i was thinking of sneaking a little ad in between those i was referring to.. something like: .

  "make sure of all things.. " 1 th 5:21. freeminds.org.

  would i need permission from randy or others?.

  hey folks,.

  just curious what your take would be on this.. i have a witness friend, who happens to be a radio announcer (dj) on a rock station ( yes i know, that is weird in and of itself).

  anyway, he wants to leave the "truth" but family keeps him in.
