"Dubs For Dummies"

by Farkel in

dear brothers and sisters in the worldwide brotherhood of jehovahs witnessestm,.

there has been much public interest in our beliefs lately, so we have prepared a very brief summary of our core beliefs in a new pamphlet which you may offer to interested persons.

hopefully, this pamphlet will generate enough interest with honest-hearted people and enable you to start many new bible studies.

Farkel is a liar and a cheat!

i have absolutely had it with farkel's lies and (try new kiddy bathroom bubbles only $3.95 per bottle) his childish attempts to discredit those who still believe in god.

he is relentless in his (now the one pound tub of the famous amway laundry detergent only 19.95) efforts to shove atheism down our throats.

i personally am offended by (new amway energy bars in four tasty flavors, box of 12 only $6.95) his blatantly cynical attitude and slamming dialog.. i think his account should be (summers coming, try amway car wax and make your old car look new)!

By taking a transfusion they still say that you are no longer a witness,,,,, you dissociate yourself. Till I read it in their publications I don't believe it.

Staying Awake Or Keeping In A Frenzy?

by AlanF in

we ex-jws know very well how much the watchtower society put us under pressure to believe that "armageddon is just around the corner".

they've been doing it in one form or another ever since charles taze russell began publishing his nonsense.

in 1877 he advocated that true christians should believe that christ would "take them home" in 1878. when that didn't happen he moved the event up to 1881. after that he focused on 1914.. the society is still doing pretty much the same thing, building up expectations and then revising them, decade after decade.

I wish Alan F would return in this centennial year to give us his take on the current events in lalaland. One of my siblings still is a true believer. I would like to send a zinger their way. They are at the International Assmbly in Seattle as we speak.

Are You A Patriotic Person Since Leaving The Witnesses?

by minimus in

jw

i'm into politics but i still don't consider myself patriotic..

bsmart

As far as the witnesses go, I am a raving patriot. We fly the flag on national holidays and I vote! I go to a meeting each week and the pledge of allegance is said and it is no problem with me.

That said, I know a few people who are so into the "Teaparty mode" that they make me nervous. So sorta patriotic.

Question About the Governing Body

by Wild_Thing in

does anyone know if any of the current governing body members became a jw as an adult, or were all of them raised and bred a jw from childhood?.

i have a theory that the jws that are "born in" and stay in tend to be more extreme and less reasonable because that is all they have ever known, especially if they are sheltered and groomed to be a good little jw.. and i was just looking at what i could find about the newest and youngest member, mark sanderson.

he was born on february 4, 1965, and he was baptized on february 9, 1975 ... a few days shy of turning 10 years old!

ok, the lemonade thread has prompted me to ask does anyone else have any clever and legal ways to pinch pennies, like the guy did with the lemonade?.

I now check my grocery store online for 'personal prices'. They give you a discount on things you will likely buy anyway and of course you will use their loyalty card. I use their credit card too and get a discount on gas with the card also. I always pay the credit card every month!

Elders ARE idiots!!

by Gill in

this has always been my opinion, even as a 'loyal' jw!

i thought that elders were idiots.

i have only ever known one who has ever had any real education, a solicitor and he was an arrogant twonk, the rest were a pathetic bunch of bullies who 'appeared' to be loving and kind but were infact out to find out the shit about everyone and cause as much trouble for everyone as possible.
