STAY AWAY FROM MY KINDGOM HALL," LORD'S EVENING MEAL" INVITATIONS REVOKED!!!!!

by AuntConnie in

i am very angry, pent-up rage call it!

so you will understand why and with great ease this subject is able to flow off my tongue onto the keyboard, because this time of the year is worse than your christmas time jitters!

anxiety, stress, compulsive babbling nuts are invading our service groups!

GLTirebiter

Aunt Connie, let's make a deal: I won't go to your memorial, and you will stay away from Easter Midnight Mass. How does that sound?

the husband just gave me the new march km (im using it folded up as a coaster at the moment) and a new "blood card" to complete, along with a copy of a set of instructions for how to fill it out and a letter from wts to every baptised publisher.

i said to him "i wont be needing that" and gave it back to him, and he just said, well just throw it out then - no overreaction yay :o) without telling him, about a month ago, (i tore up my existing no blood directive.

our kids have never carried around "identity cards" we were never that diligent about it).

GLTirebiter

I've been wondering if its worthwhile carrying some sort of anti-blood directive card with me,

Perhaps a donor ID card from the blood bank?

Memorial invitation

by John Locke in

got this email from an elder.

makes me f*ckin sick..... .

hi jl,.

They do not do a good job of exploring why different people stop going to the meetings

First things first: gotta pump up that memorial head count for the annual report. Get more seats filled for the annual census, that's the prority this month. The shepherding calls, JCs and shunning will wait until the memorial reports are in.

Go once a year, and you contribute to their "growth".

Argo

by TD in

so, who liked it?

--or not?.

GLTirebiter

Good story, great movie, though the facts were somewhat embellished for dramatic effect.

The chase scene on the runway was a little silly (Given that the top speed of a 60's era Mercedes Unimog was about 60 mph)

Not to mention what the blast from engines at take-off power would do to them!

so my husband (who was never a jw) saw a christian bumper sticker today and asked me if the witnesses have any.

i said no (not that i know of anyway) so here are a few he came up with.. 'honk if you're a zombie'.

'my other car is noah's ark'.

WTS vs. Star Trek

by Farkel in

jw
friends

star trek claimed to be fantasy and in fact, was fantasy.. wts claims to be the sole truth on earth and in fact, is fantasy.. star trek had spock who solved problems with logic.. wts has a gb who solves problems with bullshit.. star trek had a pompous ass charismatic leader whom everyone loved to watch rant and emote.

wts had three pompous ass charismatic leaders whom everyone hated to watch rant and emote.. captain kirk was always saving his people from new disasters.. wt leaders are always leading its people into new disasters.. star trek made money by always giving its fans the stuff they wanted.. wts makes money by always charging its fans for stuff neither they nor anyone else else wants.. people had fun when star trek came on.. people would rather have a root canal when meetings come on.. star trek was all about making the cosmos a better place for all.. wts is all about making the cosmos a better place for a few and killing everyone else.. people love to go to star trek conventions.. people would rather be in an earthquake than go to wts conventions.. star trek had a transporter room.. people in meetings wish they also had a transporter room.. star trek had lots of insane villains.. wts had judge rutherford and fred franz.

same thing.. star trek also had lots of good guys.. good guys are banished from the wts.. star trek had the klingons who spoke a bizarre language.. wts had fred franz who spoke an even more bizarre language.. star trek had all sorts of devices which could cure most any medical problems, but of course, they were science fiction.. wts had the electronic radio biola which it sold and said could cure most any medical problem, but of course, that was science fiction.. star trek had floppy disks, computers you could talk to and flat screen monitors all of which were about 50 years ahead-of-their time.. wts had vaccines which were called "filthy animal pus", humans hearts which were the seat of all emotions, organ transplants which were cannibalistic, human personalities which were also transferred with blood transfusions and black people turning white by reading their literature, all of which were 100 years behihd-their-time.. if you missed a few star trek episodes in a row, no one came by to harrass you.. if you miss a few meetings in a row, you are in deep shit.. star trek tv shows and movies are still played all the time, even after 47 years.. wts dramas never even play a second time.

Farkel, good to hear from you again!

Star Trek had professionally written scripts, designed to appeal to both children and adults.

WTS has tracts from the writing department, appealing to nobody.

Re: Will you attend the Memorial this year? Why? Why not?

you all had some interesting thoughts on that jw memorial thread.

some of you mentioned that you are going so that you can set some sort of example.

i gather that some of you believe that by going and eating, you are somehow showing them they can (or should) do it too.. that really confuses me.

GLTirebiter

No, I won't go (and even when married to a JW, I never did). I don't want to send any sign that I am an "interested one", nor do I want to give offense. While I don't believe what they do, there is no need to offend them on their High Holy Day. The real problem is in Brooklyn, not at the local Kingdom Hall.

Should Employers be WARNED about Jehovahs Witnesses

by BlindersOff1 in

any gov agency or private company that has private personal info of customers/clients should be aware.

its common knowledge to long time witnesses that jws will violate customer privacy laws and rules when they see something a customer does or buys that they think jw congregation elders should know about .

thats right they will spy for the elders.. .

An inactive JW I used to work with complained about how she had to put up with Sister Zealous at work. Once Sister Zealous found out there was another Witness in the office, she took every opportunity to come to our side of the building for lengthy Theocratic chit-chat sessions. Mrs. Inactive did not appreciate that, she wanted the boss to see her getting work done instead of goofing off (not to mention other issues that come with distracting and and annoying the folks in the adjacent cubicles). It took a while, but Sister Zealous finally got the message.
