"World conditions have never been as bad as they are now"

by Sour Grapes in

i went to a funeral yesterday and ran into a jdub.

of course, he approached me and it didn't take more than a minute into the conversation for him to get into the jdub gloom and doom mode.

he said that world conditions have never been as bad as they are now.. i looked straight into his eyes and said, "i think that world conditions were a lot worse during world war two.".

The strange death of Europe

by waton in

bbc: polices at airports stop "truant" families .

with millions of irregular migrants drawing illegally on the public purse, many areas even unsafe for the police to enter, police families in their homes threatened by dissenting mobs, .

police give tickets to families who leave early for the vacation, to get empty seats at better prices.

migrants drawing on the public purse" hmm

What about all the multinational companys that hardly pay any tax at all.

In just one yeat google had a trade of £50 BILLION pounds in the uk yet they only paid £50 million pounds in tax.

They are not the only company either amazon starbucks and others are just as bad.

JW's Setting Up Carts at Chicago Train Stations

by OnTheWayOut in

the reader is very chicago-oriented but for your benefit while reading, "the el" is the elevated train system that ties in with the subway system for commuters and "cta" is the chicago transit authority that runs the commuter trains and buses.

The first download is really good because it tells you that more volenters will be able to stay at the new bethel in the uk.So that the watchtower will be able to start selling off the old bethel buildings that bit sooner.

When they have sold off all the old bethel buildings ie the family silver what will they do for money in the future ie 5 or ten years time.

JWs studying with a neighbor: what should I do?

by john.prestor in

so let me introduce myself first: i've lurked here for years because i'm working on a long-term research project concerning jehovah's witnesses and i've collected data from this site (seriously, you guys are awesome, i've learned so much from this forum i never would have learned otherwise).

i've also collected data at multiple kingdom halls and read scholarly works on jehovah's witnesses and non-scholarly works as well (e.g., crisis of conscience).

so i have a pretty good sense of jehovah's witnesses even though i was not raised in this faith nor did i ever join up.

Another thing that you could do for the future is see what reports of jw s there are in the press in your country.And any tv programs there have been about the jws

good to hear that another kingdom hall has been sold off

that is one of the fastest ways that the watchtower will be killed off

the further a new person has to travel to a kingdom hall will mean that people wont be bothered to go

My impressions of the cart witnessing

by Sour Grapes in

i have watched tons of youtube videos of our exjdub friends approaching and talking to the jdub manikins at their carts as they give a great witness to the world by sipping their hot lattes, updating their social media, chit chatting to each other, and the most important thing of getting their time in, counting their hours.. when the jw's see someone approach with a camera they do several things, they will turn their backs on the person, or look at the person with a frown and act like the person isn't even there.

the witlesses refuse to answer simple, clear, and precise questions.

when i was an elder i loved to get into discussions and debates with trinitarians, priest, clergymen and those who were born again.
