I was leaving for lunch break from an acting workshop I took today. About three blocks down I saw a jw sister standing by her van. At first at thought maybe she's not a jw. When I came back from lunch she was joined by two other sisters and a brother and I knew this time that they were witnesses. Apparently, someone left the keys in the van. It looked like they were trying to get the keys out themselves instead of calling a locksmith. The brother was on top of the van trying to stick something in the window. This is the first time I've seen jws in the ministry since I've stopped going. I now realize how weird they look to non-jws. And to think that used to be me. I didn't go up to them though. I didn't want anyone to see me and then the subject of jws would come up.

Most pathetic Special Needs Talk

by RebeccaChi in

remember all the stupid special needs talks?

i remember one that was about a kid picking up a $5 bill outside of the kingdom hall.

he looked around to see if anyone around him lost it, and when no one did, he decided to keep it.

We had a local needs part about oral sex right after a teenager got DF'd. It was so uncomfortable for everyone. I was so embarrassed for all the little pre-school aged children.

JWs... You are not unique! take a look at this. My research

by Aussie Oz in

in my research i have decided to go waaaay back.

so, one of the first things i did was look at the beginnings with regard to charles taze russell.. while this may be old news to many, this is indeed new to me.

and i want to tell this to the jws that are no doubt on here too.. you are an adventist sect.. without posting the expanded (very long) version of my research, i will post the basics that lead me to this conclusion.. how unique are jehovahs witnesses?

I read the link and realized that I misread your post. I thought you meant they only accepted the trinity teaching between 1931 - 1957 and then afterward stopped that teaching. My bad.

Oz, I don't have time to read the link right now. I'll read it when I get back from work but according to their own website, they still believe in the trinity. Here's the link. It's number 2 under their fundamental beliefs.

Here's the wikipedia page for his brother, Marques Houston. In all of his albums he thanks Jehovah by name and in one of them he talks about seeing his mother in the new system. I don't know if his brother ever got baptized though.

Tuesday, you forgot to mention United Church of God on the list. IMO they seem to be more similar in doctrine to jws than 7th day adventist. 7th day adventist believe in the trinity.

Sisters told they strictly can't wear slacks to Meetings to keep them submissive! Why?

by Witness 007 in

yes slacks and pants on women are evil.....the first step to wanting to be elders or even worse lesbians!

so the watchtower in it's wisdom put a strict bad on women wearing pants at meetings, even in siberia or alaska where it is freezing cold....i qoute the governing body who said: "we need to show these sisters who wears the pants in our congregations...literally.".

in the 70's when it was all the rage, my mum tried wearing slacks to the hall....."go and get changed" said the sister who studied with her.

I'm not sure if I posted this video correctly but this is the united church of god members. I saw this a few weeks ago and it pissed me off when I saw that their women can wear pants and we couldn't. You'll see her in pants as she's walking away.
