I have never done that, but i have left notes (typed) in Watchtowers left at not at homes, telling them that after reading it to please go on line and check out "ALL" the informatin on Jdubs there before considering having any Bible discussions or studies with them. I only did this when working alone, which when was going out in service and not having a partner. Now i get the national average of most apostates, zero, zip, nada, the big nothing.

Has anyone ever ask a householder to keep their Bible study secret from their spouse?
by wasblind ini was told of one incident, where a pioneer said that she had trouble with one householders husband, because he was hiding the literature and did not want his wife to study with the jw's so she incouraged the householder to study in secrecy.. .

Non-profit law changes in New Zealand - anyone know what happened?
by 10p ini'm in aussie now - but i remember a little while ago the gov in nz changed the rules for non-profits.
i saw a programme on tv the other night that said the scientologists reported income dropped from multi-millions to about 300k after the change.. i wondered if anyone knew what happened to the watch tower society's reported income after the law change?.

We here in the U.S. definitely need our non-profit laws redone, cults like the WTBTS should be paying their fair share of taxes just like the rest of us. They have been nothing but parasites on the American Tax Payer. In fact, I believe all relgions should unless, there is verifiable proof of exceptional charity work for all in the community. And the WTBTS doesn't do charity work for the community in general and very selective charity work for dubs effected by Katrina like devastations.
I say tax em all, property, income and any other tax that can be foisted off on them. It's about time they quit being parasites and pay up like everyone else.

Did you really pay attention at conventions or assemblies?
by donny ina co-worker of mine whose family (2 daughters, wife) are jw's related a funny story yesterday.
his wife and daughters missed the friday portion of the convention last week in order to attend a wedding of a worldly relative.
at dinner she mentioned to him that she would go to the convention this friday to make up for the one she missed.. he then asked why and she said so she could get the information she missed.

I would take notes only for the reason to remember stuff to ask the elders about. like just where in the scriptures did it show that Timothy's dad wanted him to attend a higher learning school (or whatever they call it) instead of grabbing his scrolls and going door to door. That got to them real good, and the two I asked himmmed and hawwwed and couldn't answer. Well what about his friend who did go to school and then supposedly regretted it?
I then asked them why are they the society promoting falsehood and trying to pass it off as bible truth in the Dramas. They said i wasn't spiritual enough to understand, and i just laughed at them and told them they were being ridclous. You can't answer it because it is all made up, no truth in it which is really surprising because aren't Jehovah Witnesses supposed to be the religion of truth?

Are their d2d presentations good enough to convert?
by highdose ini remember asking a uber dub i was on the fs with " if you were the hh would you want to know more after listening to your presentation?
" she addmitted that no, she wouldn't have wanted to listen further.. so basicly the fs is really quite useless?
the jws doing it mostly have neither the skills nor interest to make a hh want to listen.

Guess things aren't all that rosy for him and he has been very unhappy for a number of years. His wife doesn't want anything to do with us, doesn't like us and never has. When they visited (2 times) she was pushing him to leave before they had been here with us for even a day. So i want to find out for him. he lives in southeastern Texas. Anyone with any knowlledge on this issue please to let me know so that I can pass it own. He can't ask anyone, he has to email me, he is almost totally deaf and real handicappedand unable to ask for himself.

Being stupid knows no bounds, that should have been obvious to her from the beginning, that all he wanted was a free ride out of Nigeria nd she was silly enough to give it to him. Hopefully he will be deported and sent back.

Do you believe the Bible?
by Cagefighter ini don't want to high jack african gb's thread but something got me thinking.... moses, abraham were inbred and hearing god's voice... paul never met jesus yet he is the only apostle coming down like a hammer of gays and has this "close bond" with timothy.
then there is the issue of "horus" the egyptian god and is this where the story of jesus comes from.
i have searched the internet for information on horus and have not had much luck finding anything authorative either way.. my question is do you or don't you believe in the bible and why or why not?

As per AGs's comment about David cutting off the foreskins of peckers, one wonders does that make him a pecker neck lover or what? He must have loved the peckers of dead men, what a sick dude, makes one wonder what the hell he was doing with the sheep in his sheep herding days.....hummmmmmmmmmmm?

I have recently been wondering about this. An older brother years ago had mentioned to us that they had to mask the fact that their children had certain vaccinations when they really hadn't. Which in my book made him and those others who had done it liars, cheats, and irresponsible.
But is there somewhere where one could look up and definitely see that i.e. the state department, department of health or someone actually required in and out of country travelers to be vaccinated against certain diseases? Any and all help will be very much appreciated. thank you in advance.
Was it the vaccination requirement for travelers that suddenly made it ok for Jdubs to be vaccinated?
