Not on jw.org - comments regarding bad Jehovah's Witness employees

by jwfacts in

i used to be very impressed with convention experiences regarding how worldly employers would hire jws because they were known as the most honest workers.

i was too indoctrinated to realise these were selective experiences, and there are plenty of experiences of jws being dishonest in the workforce.

i have received a couple recently by email.. i have cut quite a bit out of the following email i received so that the person and company cannot be indentified, but you will get the message.. .

The King of the North is getting Angry...

by rhodesboy in

this topic is of a theological nature.

if you have some scriptural insight, please share.

grievances are not welcome!.

evolution

by venting in

just wanted to encourage people still in the org.

to study the theory of evolution in a non jehovahs witness setting.

i used to think the evolution book was great.

Perhaps earth is a schoolroom to learn what works and what doesn't work. We've been slowly progressing through the tens of thousands of years.

I don't know what type of school you went to, but in mine the teachers stepped in to stop disruption and facilitated learning so that those of us who wanted to progress could do so.

hi guys, i don't really post on here much anymore, having been on here since 2001. this site helped me out in the early days and has been a great support system for all of my past jw issues.

like many others i was discouraged from an education so that i could window clean and pioneer in my youth during the 80's.

having spent many years post my jw exit in alcoholism and periods of drugs, i decided to clean myself up 7 years ago by attending aa, i was still a window cleaner ... at the time i wrote extensively on here about my issues.

Atheists and JWs are on the same footing!

by exWTslave in

atheists believe that god should stop the large-scale injustice on earth; if he does'nt, then he does not exist.

jws believe that god will intervene sometime in the last days!.

interestingly, both throw themselves on their own expectation of soemthing god should or will do, yet in fact something god does not have to do.

god doesn't like amputees...that's why he has never, ever helped one of them.

ADCMS you are forgetting amputees bring it on themslves.

More JW bragging about the Landover, MD. convention. Please have barf bag at the ready before reading

by AndDontCallMeShirley in

the following e-mail is circulating among jws about the international convention at fedex stadium in landover, md.

note the all-too-familiar jw claims: everything they do (including the simple act of parking cars) is proof of jehovah'stm blessing, and everything wt did at the convention was the fastest, greatest, best ever.

oh, and the never-fails-to-get-mentioned alleged 'persecution'/resistance from some unnamed authority who tried to get in watchtower's way and hamper the effort...but jws prevailed anyway (as always):.

Dozy - absolutely right.
