do jw's do a woldwide preaching work?.
the simple answer is no.. so many witnesses are blind to this obvious point , and still believe god will bring judgemnet to all mankind on the basis of the preaching done by jehovahs witnesses.. realise this jehovahs witnesses,.

LOL, having been a road musician for the last 25 years, I have been in countless laundromats and can affirm that I have seen JW mags in probably 80% of them. I don't think the mags ever get read, but I'll bet the ones who "place" them count time for it.

a palestinian doctor explains why so many of his people want to be martyrs.
a few weeks ago, my sister, a professional and a mother of four, was visibly shaken as she watched, on television, israeli tanks torturing the streets of a refugee camp and soldiers raping its homes.
Farkel,
You said: "Whatever "point" you were making wasn't relevant to excusing what the Palestinians and other Arabs are doing.
You are correct. The point I was making was not intended to be relevant to excusing what the Palestinians and other Arabs are doing.
You said: "I proved you introduced a strawman"
Wrong!!! You haven't "proved" anything. The ONLY point I was trying to make is that one can get jumped on for saying anything that infers blame on the Israelis for the crap going on over there. THAT'S IT!
You said: " I challenge you to find ANYWHERE where I tried to excuse any wrongful Israel actions."
I challenge you to find ANYWHERE where I said YOU were trying to excuse any wrongful Israeli actions.
You said: " As a matter of fact, I cited verses from a song that was about hate, period. It wasn't about Arab hate, or Jewish hate or any specific kind of hate, but ALL hate. I suppose it wouldn't be asking too much of you to suggest you actually take the time and read what I wrote, would it?"
Since my post was in direct response to Teejays post, what YOU posted in response to Teejay's post is really irrelevant to me. I wasn't answering YOUR post, I was responding to Teejay's.

Hey Farkel,
I was merely making a point - in a tongue-in-cheek sort of way - how one can get jumped on for posting anything that infers any sort of blame on Israel. And you proved my point. Thank you.
Apart from that, my comments were directed to Teejay, not you, and I could care less whether my post "amused" you.

Whoa there, Teejay!!!!
You should know better than to post ANY MATERIAL that puts Israel in a bad light...Tsk, tsk...
As every FULLY INFORMED person knows, the Israelis have NEVER never done anything wrong to ANYONE, and they CERTAINLY share NO BLAME for any of the problems between them and the Palestinians. If you don't believe that, just ask any Jew - after all, being God's CHOSEN PEOPLE and all, you can expect a full and HONEST account of every aspect of every struggle they've ever had.

Hi Metatron,
Interesting...
I'd like to know if any reputable scientists are pursuing the genetic angle. Why are these "free radicals" created? Do you think that maybe the body is genetically programmed to limit it's own life?

first off i would like to welcome you here- as you can see we have a varied cross section of folks here in the community center.. i would like to commend you for at least being brave enough to come to this site and setup an account and post for more than 4- post as well as read amazing very long life story.. would you be willing to share with us what moved you to come to this site in view of what the org teaches on this issue of being in forums like this>.
JT, you always state things so well...
so all the word twisting and hand wrangling will never get them out of admiting that their faith doesn't allow them to be here and we all know it regardless of whether they admit it or not
And that's easy to prove too...for instance I could mention to my mom - who is JW of staunchest sort - that I run into JWs on the net who knowingly take part in forums with d'feds/apostates on a more or less regular basis and then ask her if she thinks that it's OK for these bros to do this, I know she would parrot the SOCIETY line...
JW defenders who register on this board leave themselves with ONE of two options. Either they remain as hypocritical fools or they can be fortunate enough to do like you did and discover there's a whole other side of the story.
The advantage gained by having spent a significant part of your life in the BORG is that you already know the mindset and policies of the WT, therefor you know what kinds of QUESTIONS to ask...

Hi JT,
The question you put to "Happy Man" is one that you've put before other dubs who wander onto this site and post/lurk. So far, I've never seen a dub give a straight answer...it seems like such a basic, straight-forward question - I have also wondered too how a JW can reconcile being here when the very org they defend tells them THIS IS OFF LIMITS.
Of course, we have witnessed the leaders of this org rationalize stuff like for example the UN thing, so I guess it's not a stretch for individual dubs to rationalize any kind of activity that is patently hypocritical...

P.S. I saw the name "David Splane" mentioned on this board a couple of days ago, did you ever meet him while at Bethel?
loyalty above the all.. even some of xjw's are not aware of this!.

the same occurs with any servant who commits adultry.
Hi Mr. Bean,
Aw yes, the unwritten rule. These are really are, IMHO, the Society's most useful tool. Take shunning, for example...
Never will you see in Society publications a DIRECT instruction for JWs to shun family members who have been d'fed, yet shunning still remains the greatest source of leverage that HEADQUARTERS uses to keep the R&F in line. They know that the stauncher the JW is, the more likely that the "Bible-trained" conscience will compell the loyal dub to take the initiative and show the d'fed member the "error of his ways"...
