Why are witnesses being "Persecuted" in certain countries?
by finallyfree! infor the most part this "persecution" is confined to countries where political balance can change on the drop of a dime.
watchtower witnesses who go door to door will speak of their religious views which include not voting or supporting the political parties.
where the watchtower control a percentage of the population through their kingdom halls and they turn people off from voting they have in effect formed their own type of independant political organization.

(like being driven out and having their homes and halls burnt down) i am in no way condoning these acts, but if you want to play "control the masses" with the "big boys" so to speak, then i guess it comes with the territory. if a citizen is not voting, it means hes not voting to keep the current party in power. as the witnesses grow in that country, the voting pool effectively declines as jws dont vote. who would run the country if they were all jws. control the people and you control the country. this is considered a political threat. dont forget to "vote watchtower" at the upcoming elections!!

"God Cares About What I Care About"
by leavingwt inthis is a recent article by valerie tarico, a psychologist and writer, author of 'trusting doubt: a former evangelical looks at old beliefs in a new light'.. .
god cares about what i care about.
divorce, fags, figs, workers of iniquity, homophobes, lady gaga, remarriage, ireland, techno, furries, war, a coward, shrimp, lying lips, abortion, your outfit, bad manners, amputees, begging, haiti, religion, complaining, canada, haughty eyes, murmuring, anal sex, mobile homes, haters: the internet is full of articles about things and people god hates.

hmmm...very interesting. i share the same line of thought. religion and god are merely a confirmation of self and depending where and what time in history we live our existance, that god could be jehovah, budha, oden, zeus, allah or just god.

Jehovah's Witnesses and the Media
by Spade inhttp://www.watchtower21.org/2011/01/jehovahs-witnesses-and-media.html.
at times, jehovah's witnesses are mentioned in the media in connection with a violent crime.
people shouldn't always believe everything they read--especially, it seems, on the internet.

[endif]the watchtower society and jehovah's witnesses worldwide are under the power and influence of a governing body of leaders.. compliance with the directions of this governing body is mandatory because of their claim to supreme authority.. the source of the authority of the governing body of jehovah's witnesses is claimed to be the currently reigning king jesus who personally selected.

Has anyone ever heard that Jehovah has to be with JW's because things do get done in spite of the stupidity.
by life is to short inout law just reminded me of something i used to hear a lot at bethel.
it was that jehovah has to be with jw's because of all the dumb things that we had to do that do not make any sense because someone with more power then us would tell us we had to do it their way no questions asked, no matter how stupid it might be or seem, and yet the buildings still got built, the magazines still got printed and everything still runs smoothly.
out law posted these and he is spot on all of these sayings were said at bethel, i heard them all myself.

i remember working at a quickbuild with my dad and a friend of the fam who worked in construction. my whole fam has always done construction too so we know what were talking about when it comes to that. needless to say, the "brother" in charge of our crew knew nothing zero zip about building. we were constantly telling the guy what had to be done, how to read the plans etc. after he'd relay what we told him back to us and the others but not without questioning us like idiots and debating everything we did. turns out he was just some idiot ms who had some cleaning contracts and that makes you an authority on anything ! lol! poor lil guy didnt realize that to build a structure it takes more than being spiritual and following orders, you actually have to be able to think.

lol! thats funny! looks like god uses all kinds of people. i bet that it would have been better used if the old guy just dropped it in the contribution box. darn...! an elders son i used to know found money too, like 50 bucks on the sidewalk and instead of just checking around too see whos it was he put it in the box at the following meeting. but not without telling the proper authorities. there was a big experience given at the following meeting by his father in front of the whole congo . they looove to toot their flutes.

New resolution passed at last service meeting? crazy!!
by finallyfree! inso my ex who has gone back to the wts and is being given the tough love and is questioning whether shes makin the right move.
she told me at the last service meeting that there was a resolution passed that stated that all leftover balances in the congregations accounts would be sent to the society to be used where the need is great, to help out with natural disasters etc and that the funds would be sent back to the congregation if they needed it.. has anyone else who is still in or knows active witnesses heard of this new resolution?
apparently its everywhere in canada as far as i was told .. .

poppers: in my whole lifetime of being a witness i never once saw a resolution that was not voted in favor. like it was mentioned before, its a whole "go along with the flock" mentality. ya dont wanna be dubbed as that presumptuous brother or sister.
