Shunning & JWs on Miami Ink TV Show
by doinmypart inmiami ink is a show about tattooing, it airs on u.s. cable channel tlc.
the show highlights the work of the tattoo artists and tells the background of why a person gets a particular tattoo.. on last week's show a young lady wanted what she referred to as a "conscience" tattoo.
when i heard "conscience" my ears perked up.

I was watching the show on Discovery Health about the True ER stories, and they had a segment on a JW who wouldn't take a transfusion after a snakebite.
Too bad there aren't more shows like this that highlight the absurdity of JW doctrine... maybe more people would "wise-up".

Disaster Preparedness
by passwordprotected inas an elder i have a file on my computer containing the name, address, cell and home telephone number of every publisher associated with the congregation of which i am a part.
it is my understanding that this information is also held at the branch and, in turn, at brooklyn.
the reasoning behind the need to have such information on all of the publishers is that, in the event of a disaster, be it through 'nature' or design, the elders will be able to contact the 'flock'.

I don't recall the elders making a real effort to maintain those lists until after Katrina... then it was on everyone's short list.
I guess the Holy Spirit really didn't have it on his/its radar until CNN and all of the newspapers started recommending that everyone create a disaster plan.
Do you guys know if this was an "elder mandate" before the huricane seasons of 2004 and 2005?

If Jw hate being a part of the world so much, why do they try...
by jetery inwhen i was a witness i remember asking one of the elders if it would be alright to donate to different causes/charities like the american cancer society,st judes hospital etc.
he told me that these organizations only provide temporary relief whereas god kingdom would provide permanent relief.
) he was so down on these organizations but yet when he needed them for help he sure didnt hesitate to ask them.

JWs additude toward helping organizations is like that of the people in the scriptures that said that they couldn't help their elderly parents because their funds were dedicated to something holy - It's just an excuse not to do the right thing.
Good call. That's exactly what it is.

I'm a little irritated that I never see these posts until after they have been up for a while because I would like to be a part of the active discussion.

WTS contradicts themselves on Light
by still_in74 inhey all, i posted this in another thread but thought it deserved its own.. here is a perfect example of the blatant disregard wt writers show towards previously written articles.
they just write what sounds good at the time without considering the fact that they just might be actually contradicting themselves.. so here it is:.
flip-flop alert!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

A couple of years ago, I dug up some of the old references stating that the GB was not infallible. I looked it up because another JW relative and I were arguing about whether or not they were. When I pointed to the WT references, they said "Be careful... that's apostate thinking"
!!!!!!!!!!!!
I said, "BUT IT's RIGHT THERE IN THE WATCH TOWER!!!!"
I guess it's too late now. They have brainwashed everyone into thinking that they are speaking for God...

Blondie - nice find on that 84 WT. It really irritates me when people say that the GB has never specified a time... that individuals always get too excited and make predictions, but not the GB.

They are grasping at straws...
Imagine looking back at a lifetime wasted working for a printing company that demanded overtime, interfered with your family life, and didn't pay you a dime.
They desperately want/need justification for their efforts.
It's sad.

Do You Agree That Jehovah's Witnesses Are Perverted?
by minimus inthey are one perverted group!
they pervert christianity and everything it stands for.. they pervert whatever is considered "truth" by making up new definitions of whatever word they want.
for example, a "lie" is not necessarily a lie to a jw.

Some are, most are not.
The majority just live in a haze of misguided understanding. They wouldn't intentionally mislead, they just propagate the lies they have been duped into believing.

looking back, you are right... it was very funny.
At the time, it was very uncomfortable. I didn't know what to say, so I just turned around and walked away.
