  Window-washer is the cover of Feb 2015 WT, "How to enjoy your work!" Hahaha!!

  by EndofMysteries in

  2. bible

  .

  after all the jokes and satire on this website about jw's only being able to amount to window washers and house cleaners, the cover page of "how to enjoy your work" showing a window washer and cleaner in the back ground.

  i almost wonder if some awakened, still-in, from this site is part of the writing department or illustrations and put that in there as an inside joke for us?.

  hello to all.

  i've been on this site for a couple of weeks now posting here and there but have not had the opportunity to read about many of the regular members and what led up to their leaving the wt.. i understand that some of you (i'm part of this club) may not be able to disclose many details and i can appreciate that.. i'd love to hear what was it that finally made you renounce what is and hopefully soon to be "was" the wt.. i truly look forward to having good discussions.. thank you to all for your kind participation.. .

  What will the next "witness" fad illness be??

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  as we know, it seems that many witnesses "suffer" from "illnesses" at times.. now , before anyone scolds me for being insensitive or unfeeling, i am not mocking those who really suffer from illnesses of any sort.

  i am having a go at those that jump on the bandwagon of the popular illness, which actually makes real sufferers feel jaded.. i am referring to the way that many witnesses who are actually damaged as a result of the constant "fear.obsession.guilt" of jw propaganda, often seem to "contract the current illness going around", or blame it on that instead of looking at the real cause.. im sure it is a subconcious result of the burdensome pressure of jw life that brings it on.

  instead of seeing the draining effect on their lives as being the result of witness life, they will latch on to the next illness going around.. so, what is the latest going to be?.

  Education

  by M*A*S*H in

  2. beliefs

  just looking on jw.org at an education related topic; http://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/g201210/what-parents-can-do/.

  be reasonable with regard to how much education to pursue.. as mentioned earlier, education can help prepare your child for responsible adulthood.

  (genesis 2:24) but how much schooling does reaching that goal require?.

  Was droping bomb on Hiroshima in 1945 evil?

  by new hope and happiness in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  sorry for such a depressing question, but i was moved by a picture i saw of the consequences.

  ( a woman carrying her child) and i realised:-.

  a) it was a civillian population.. b) i don't see how a nuclear holocaust can ever be right.. c) they could have bombed tokyo where all the generals lived but chose hiroshima.. d) the irony after the bombing america conceeded to many of japans terms.. your opinion would be valued..

  My JW friend turned down the "privilege" of working the literature table at the park. Why?

  by MissFit in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i have written before about my jw friend that plays hookie with me on sundays.

  we skip the meeting and go straight to lunch and margaritas.

  she converted later in life and has been a jw for over 25 years.. she is in her late 70's and has had heart problems.

  "Go Where the Need is Great" - Is this phrase unique to JW's only???

  by AudeSapere in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  "go where the need is great"... it's one of those jw buzz-words/phrases.

  almost like a secret code that just pops up in what would otherwise be a 'normal' conversation.. .

  i was conducting an interview with a candidate this afternoon and she used this phrase when explaining that she travelled to various locations of a previous employer.
