  Are Witnesses encouraged to talk about their non-JW mates?

  by Nickolas in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  my wife and i don't discuss the watchtower too much.

  i'm atheist, and she knows there's nothing she can say to change that.

  besides, she knows i've been doing a great deal of research into the society and could decimate any argument she could put forward that the wtbts is what it says it is, so she doesn't want to go there at all.

  i think patti labelle is too much of a screamer when she "sings".. i don't think jerry seinfeld is all that funny.. i'm just not into george clooney.

  i've been wondering how other religions, such as other christian denominations, would compare to the jw's in their time demands.. .

  i'll lay out the approximate hours per week below.

  (i know some of the meeting lengths have changed in recent years, and the bookstudy has been abolished.

  Charlie Sheen

  i came rather late to watching the show "two and a half men" and have been watching mostly the reruns, which i have enjoyed immensely (the story lines are funny).

  i try to catch the first runs when i can.

  to me this show is really a homage of charlie sheen's life.

  What is happening to JWN ?...So many topics not relating to Jehovah's Witnesses!

  by koolaid-man in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  note the home page..wow how it has changed.. jehovah's witness discussion forumthe place to discuss anything relating to jehovah's witnesses and the watchtower bible and tract society... or just make new friends!.

  many of the posts have nothing to do with with jehovah's witnesses and new ones coming on this board would be turned off by the content of many of these off color posts.

  foul inappropriate language which is not proper or suitable for exiting witnesses to visibly inspect.

  Do you watch NBC's "Community"

  by Bystander39 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i don't watch the show, but the latest tv guide (jan 10-16, 2011) mentions that the study group on the show, which includes a jw names troy, among others, "all came together to celebrate the holidays.

  " i'm curious as to how a jw, even if fictional, participated in an ecumenical event, let alone a holiday..

  Contribution Boxes At The Book Groups , Did You Donate More There Than The Hall ?

  by Hairyhegoat in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  this may have been covered a few years back but the thought came to me just how much money the wathtower lost in contributions when they got rid of the book study groups in witnesess homes.

  my book group was at my parents house and as it was always full, over 30 drones every tuesday night.

  this caused mayhem in the road outside with all the cars double parking etc... the jw's at my group always put loads of wonga into the tin on the welsh dresser!
