The truth is I always loved anything about Jesus.

I didn't like Jehovah very much but I could never admit that. Later on I studied the big red you can live forever in paradise on earth, the Youth book and of course my book of Bible stories which I still have. But my favourite was listening to the Great teacher.

My letter had a return address. I'm going to use some information on an excellent video I saw recently in reply, basically debunking 1919.

Serious Question: Are You Hearing About Anyone With The Flu Anymore or A Cold?

by minimus in

jw
friends

for years everyone was told they had to get the flu shot.

because the flu was dangerous and it could even kill you.

now, hardly anyone talks about the flu or having a cold.

TDLet's not put people into boxes.

I'm an old school conservative who has made a hobby out of the history and interpretation of the Second Amendment

I've also worked in a supervisory position at a med-lab and am appalled by some of the things that get said on this forum.

I've always thought you were probably one of the smartest people on this forum.

You've just confirmed my viewpoint.👏👏👏

What is it with these lard ass GB and gold rings and watches?

by mickbobcat in

they wear jewelry like they are some don from the cosa nostra.

watches and rings like some cheap pimp.

hey they are cheap pimps.

Vienne how about a photo of "Hears" wearing a Rolex.

Type in Sam Heards Rolex. I've seen him wear it quite often. Could be a family heirloom, of course. And Heard gets an army pension, too, so there's that.

My Grandmother was a devout JW and back in the 90s early when they built Hotels near Patterson, she mumbled they had gotten their last dime from her. Her and my GF had special Pioneered and picked up bottles for return in the 60s so they could pay rent and buy food as the stipend was not even close to enough to support them in the cult work.

Mickbobcat the worst thing is many of those hotel rooms were kept empty. One weekend when New York had severe weather they closed the airport. All the reasonably priced hotels were booked up. A pioneer & her friend who had come to tour Bethel were stuck with no where to stay as their flight home had been cancelled.

She rang Bethel in hopes of finding a bed for the night. Would you believe they told these very young girls, stranded in a strange city, that because they were only "regular" pioneers they could not offer them a bed for the night. Had they been "special" pioneers they could have helped them out!!

And they say that all Jehovah's Witnesses are equal and that they have no special titles!!

Your'll be glad to know that young pioneer is NO LONGER one of Jehovah's witnesses. Wonder why🙄

Listening to the great teacher.

I loved it very much. I loved to study and when the other kids would run off to play I would stay at the dining room table to read on my own.😥I miss those days.

Can a person order a free bible through the JWs?

by jwundubbed in

i was researching the easiest bible to read (which the jw bible is not) and the best way to buy one online at low cost and it got me thinking.

the jw.org is doing videos and has a website.

have they joined the order-online phenomenon that is going on in the world today?

Diogenesister

I think UnDubbed you'd just have to rely on getting a kindly Jehovah's witness to give you one.

Of course we know it wouldn't really be free because your kindly JW would have had to pay for it out of her own pocket.

Ralph Walls implausible 2021 Convention field service story

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

another implausible field service story told by ralph walls at the 2021 convention.

get ready for this unrealistic, stupid, dull and boring, made up fiction that is presented at this assembly.. some years ago ( tells a story but doesn't know exact date ), a brother ( doesn't give his name ) in mexico ( doesn't name the town) from the rurals, dressed in a very simple garb ( to show he was not showy ) knocked at the door of a palatial mansion.

( a very rich ''worldly'' person must live here ).

Diogenesister

That's what I was thinking FFghost my fellow logophile😂

"The rurals" sounds like a cross between rural and The Urals 😂
