okay, i wanted to know more about the jws, so i went to the website and filled in my name and other info.
i was finally contacted, set up an appointment and visited.
the first two people came and they were nice, but one of the fellows looked uptight and avoided eye contact.
cold steel, you mention the following:
I pointed out the "other" verses associated with Armageddon (the ones showing that it would be located at Jerusalem).
If you would be so kind as to site these scriptures or to send them to me via a pm I would be most appreciative. tks in advance.
soldier 77, the 2011 pioneer swimsuit edition is for those having to puke their guts out don't you think?
i though it might be interesting to start a thread asking ones here to share their memories of the last 3-5 individuals (families) that were contacted via d-to-d, started to study, and all the way to baptism.
let's see if we see a pattern :-).
here's my recolection:.
In the local congregtion, no one from the d-t-d nonwork, just relatives, children, or friends, not from pounding the pavement, and its been that way for almost 8 years now.

welcome aboard the apostatic ship of freedom, remember you will know the truth and the truth will set you free, which it seems it already has, keep cool, stay in touch with the board and you will be supported in your quest for final freedom from the borg.
do you believe it is some government plot?
do you think et's are scouting us out...and for what reason?.
do you think abduction hysteria will be the next wave of weird news to set people on the edge of their seats?.
I myself lean towards belief but very guardedly, one experience i know of personally was when a aircontroller called out aircraft and told us a jet or something was moving very fast from our rear, they were on the same altitude as us and the same flight path, we turned around and didn't see anything, yet the ground controllers were still telling us it was headed in, skies were clear absolutely nothing in sight, yet ground control was getting radar on it and us, a few seconds later they called us to ask what it was as it just passed over us, well we say nothing, and I mean nothing, yet ground control for two-three more minutes continued to send us info on the unidentified craft that they had on radar. so to say nothing else somewhat spooky, we wondered if something was really there or was it just shadow blips or WTF?
Several years later talked to two individual were talking about their visit to Hawaii, both didn't know each other, there were just several of us sitting around shooting the bull. One brought up the fact that he had a UFO incident or that was what he thought it was while out on the beach late one evening. said a craft of some sort showing two bright lights was just off the beach approx 100 yrds or so, no noise, and the beach wasnt quiet it moved up and down the beach for several miles always staying just out at approx 100 yds. he mentioned this and said he hadn't told anyone about it but it was something he had always wondered about. Another individual at the table said when did this happen they talked about the date of the even and then the other person mentioned that they were on the same beach about 1/4 mile from the other group and all of them had seen it too. They had later called into authorities and were told to go home they were probably drunk. this was the funny part both individuals were non drinkes and never had been, one a mormon, the other just never drank, didn't like it so didn't do it. Now when they talked about this it definitely made me think as both were very reliable people in very responsible jobs and up until that time hadn't even known each other. So???????????
okay, here's the story.
i have very recently been declared da'd publicly.
we all know what that means.
amberson you have it right, let them look, stupid, ignorant and rude. I have on several occasions been snubbed in public by these assholes, and i am not DA'd nor am I DF'd. Just somewhat inactive at that time (now too heh heh) One occasion was at a grocery while waiting in line behind the asshole po. Told him hi and he just looked at me like I was something he stepped on, on the floor. The cashier kind of look like WTF and I explained while he was still getting served that they are Jehovah Witnesses and this is the real way they will treat you if you don't play their silly games. I had four people behind me and people in line at the next cashier too. And I of course said all this in a very loud voice so that all can hear. I then said remember this when they come to your door? Several people behind me said they would, and this treatment isn't showing any manners what soever. He was embarassed then and still wouldn't acknowledge me. Told him by hope you have a good day. And just as quickly forgot him.
when i saw the article, "more major earthquakes expected" in page 20, my first thought was wtf?
haven't they learned their lesson about predicting increases in earthquakes?
then i read the article, which shies away from any explicit claim that seismic activity is on the increase.
here! here! no one should expect the R&F dubbies to use much common sense as it is not allowed, Critical thinking skills are a thing of the Past just listen to the idiots behind the curtain.
