This blog write up, which I read in full, was one of the best! It was funny and on point to all the crazy stuff JWs do and believe. Pretty impressive. He must have been bothered to the boiling point and blew.
Good stuff to perhaps pass along.
a rant by a householder upset by the jw's constant visiting.. http://britpoptarts.wordpress.com/2012/12/06/those-darn-jehovahs-witnesses/.

on pages 54 & 55 of the "what has religion done for mankind" book the following quotes can be found.
considering adams decision to eat the fruit with eve it is written, "the woman was not to consult her husband first on the matter of eating, although god had made him first and had used him to construct the woman concerning the forbidden tree.
no, but she was to exercise woman's rights and show him she had better judgement.".
i live nowhere near the east coast, nor does my jw mother in law.
but according to my wife, mommy dearest thinks "sandy" is the latest sign that gawd almighty is about to bring about the end.. so i ask my lovely jw wife what she thinks, amazingly she says its probably just another storm, though it does look bad.
i tell her yes, i agree, and if there is anything we can do to help out, i am willing to help.
my father passed around 9 this morning.
he'd been in poor health for some time, but it still comes as a shock to have him gone.
we are going to miss him terribly.
may you all have peace!.
i received the following via email from a family member just a moment or so ago (bold is mine, fyi).
again, peace to you all!.

***g7/09p.29 is it wrong to change your religion?***.
"no one should be forced to worship in a way that he finds unacceptable or be made to choose between his beliefs and his family.".
ironically, the religion and publisher of this statement is one of the biggest offenders with their shunning policy of its members who come to the conclusion that their form of worship is unacceptable.. for some, this severe shunning is too much to bear.. ...help me through this my old friends...i really did not want to be dfd!...i am fourth generation....i had already been shunned by my lifelong friends due to my outspoken words regarding my discovering we had changed the bible to make it say what jw's want it to...but now i have lost my family....oomps.
my 97 year old grandmother died last week.
she was actually born and raised a jw.
her mother (my great grandmother) was a russelite.
Sorry for your loss magwitch.
Personally, I have zero fond memories of my Grandmother. She abandoned her family to go preach Jehovah's word in the 1950's. My mother was left as a 12YO to raise her siblings.
Grandma showed up years later (decades) when I was 13 and told me I was going to die at Armagedon because I hadn't put in enough hours out in FS. This was in 1975, the summer. First time out of the two times I met the old lunatic.
While I suppose some of those "old school witnesses" could be nice, the vast majority I knew in the Chicago area were a bunch of eff'd up angry, waiting for The Great Tribulation to start nut jobs. This includes my great-grandparents, my grandparents and my Mom and her siblings.
Saying they were fulfilled and lived happy lives is like saying a Stepford Wife lives one.
But, again, sorry for your loss.
terry was admitted to the hospital yesterday.
he has a severe case of cellulites which has affected his neck glands.
his face and neck are very swollen.
