Jehovah's Limp Witnesses Pointed Me to JW.org When I Was Willing to Talk

by steve2 in

several months ago i approached a nice young couple who were standing by a jw literature stand in my local community.

they were pleasant and polite but incredibly stilted when it came to answering my "innocent" questions about their beliefs.

this was the occasion of jws featuring the article headlined "is religion dying?".

Heaven

the direct quote (from an elder) was: "breaks are the best part of field service".

You know there's something wrong when...

historical, philosophical, theological, eschatological, anything.

Help! I'm having a cart attack!

by Funchback in

1. three jw ladies, standing on the avenue along the beach here in sunny, warm fortaleza, ceará (brazil)2. two jw guys sitting on a bench doing the same as the ladies in pic 13. let's see how productive they are being doing this urgent, life-saving work.

Funchback said: Anyway, not once have I received even a smile or a head nod. It's not because I'm "apostate" because they don't know me or my history.

FB, your area sounds quite busy. Definitely busier than mine in small town rural Ontario. I am not sure they really want to talk to people. I wonder how many cart attendants actually believe or feel comfortable with what they are pseudo promoting.

They aren't knocking on my door. I work from home full time. They aren't doing door-to-door here.

Australian Royal Commission mentions that G. Jackson was inconsistent

by Daniel1555 in

it's great that the following is officially mentioned in the royal commission's report:.

when asked if the governing body members saw themselves as ‘jehovah god’s spokespeople on earth’, mr geoffrey jackson answered that it ‘would seem to be quite presumptuous to say that we are the only spokesperson that god is using’.

mr jackson’s response seems to be inconsistent with the documentary evidence before the royal commission, which shows that jehovah’s witnesses believe that the governing body is the ‘channel’ by which jehovah’s ‘will’ is communicated to them..

Bazinga!

Funchback, I would have to say that your area is evidently over saturated having 2 JW carts in such close proximity.

Edited to add: Meanwhile, where I live, I have yet to see these carts.

Sanctimonious, "WE'RE Thankful EVERY day."

by stillin in

thanksgiving is really just a nice, traditional, family-oriented day set aside on a national level.

no babylon the great.

give me a break with the holier than thou, "we don't celebrate thanksgiving.

Interesting Poopie. Maybe this is why HereIgo and I (and maybe others?) have been contacted of late by family members that had been 'shunning' us.

Vegan paradise

by coalize in

if in the wts earthly-paradise fantasy, the wolf won't eat no more the lamb and they will be the best friends, will human continue to kill lambs to eat?.

the earthly paradise is vegan?.

Heaven

My cousin went vegan. Her hemoglobin levels dropped so dangerously low that her doctor told her she had to introduce meat back into her diet.

And could you imagine the massive amounts of insects we'd be wading through if they weren't eaten by the various carnivorous and omnivorous species on this planet?!

Awkward exchange with my JW sister in law regarding the circle of life

by TTWSYF in

so we were at another family members home for a random celebration when the nature channel showed a killer whale eating a seal and my sister in law was horrified.

we made a joke about the circle of life and i said something along the lines of 'everything that lives must die, the bible says every king must die, so even jesus wasn't immune'.

after that comment there was an awkward silence with our jw family whispering to each other about my comment of dying.. once upon a time i asked my uber elder jw brother if he thought that he would not die and he asked me if i knew when god would start armageddon.

Heaven

smiddy is spot on. When I started learning more about the natural processes on Earth, it suddenly hit me, in order for there to be life there MUST be death. Put another way, death feeds life.

It was then that I realized how f'ed up all religion is that believes death is due to sin.
