The purpose of the WBTS is and always has been to form an independent nation of constituents who are given boundries, a sense of superiority, as well as recognition ... as a place in the spotlight for those who are unable to compete or otherwise contribute to the modern world.

Do you know the real purpose of the Society?
by compound complex inthe following notes on fred franz's conducting of the morning bible discussion [17 november 1979] were taken by a bethelite and later given to ray franz:.
some persons are now talking about reading the bible, that we should read "just the bible.
" well, that's what christendom's churches have been telling the people to do for centuries and look at the mess that's resulted.

Being one of Jehovah's Witnesses is simply a "phase" that the majority of members pass thru and move on from . The number of Memorial attendees compared to active publishers give evidence that more folks used to be than are ...

Bitchy women at work..."hell hath no fury like a woman scorned!" Why girls?
by Witness 007 inso at work we had an middle eastern family get alittle upset due to a long wait, i think their culture tends to raise their voice a bit, their child was sick and they were worried, waiting for medicine.
while calming them down, one of the staff ladies is jumping in from behind under-cutting my calming speech with her interference....i asked her to back off.. well the women i work with did not like me "reasoning" with them witness style, oh no!
they wanted me to throw the mum, dad, child, mother in-law, out on their ass.

Here's my problem.
Whenever issues arise on this board which might appear sexist, men seem willing to discuss their biased point of view based on certain experiences, while women seem to demand that no one has the right for such points of view to be aired and therefore they attempt to stifle such a discussion. Why?

I consider many JWs as "mental midgets."
When I was young I was called "Porky" by peers because of my size. Now that I'm grown does this mean I'm like all men, a "pig"?

Do you remember SPECIFIC CONVERSATIONS with householders from the field ministry?
by BonaFide ini have a few that i remember that were interesting.
of course, those that i supposedly helped.. but i also remember one man at an apartment.
i started to talk about the universe, and how the planets are aligned perfectly, and the earth is the perfect distance from the sun to support life.

I was working in a nice neighborhood with a really good Brother. We knocked on a door and a teary-reyed lady answered. After we identified ourselves as Jehovah's Witnesses, she began an emotional expression of all that was wrong in her life. Along the way she related that all morning had been spent kneeled in prayer looking for help. I looked at her and calmly said: "that is why we have come"! Her eyes almost popped out of their sockets as she screamed: "Jehovah's Witnesses ... No, No, No"! Immediaately she slammed the door, leaving us on the porch giggling.

Greetings:
From my point of view individuals attracted to organizations like JWs were never going to make our world a better place under any circumstances. They simply were in need of someone or something to validate their existence. They look forward to a day when everyone elses world crumbles as theirs already has.

God caused homosexuality to exist...it was his will?
by oompa ini remembered this after reading the thread in adult about homosexual sex.
my brother is gay and we are close, but only since i woke up, and it has been really nice making up for the lost 25 years.
so i told my elder/day a few months ago.......while talking about my new friendship with my brother.......that god is the one who "made" homosexuals....of course he said "no, it was the result of adams sin"......

I believe it comes down to the examination of the word "need."
For instance, God apparently had a need to create things. He must also have had a "need" to be worshiped since he demands it. If man was indeed made in God's image he would therefore also have "needs." If a man needs another man he is driven by a desire which must have been included in our original list of options. It seems that it is humans who have labeled that particular choice as unnatural and contrived by other earthlings.
