Dang, you would think that the people called up to give the experience would at least try to be truthful. So much for even "little white lies" being bad.

How I Know The Assembly Parts Are Made Up
by lovelylil inwe had a co looking for a certain experience for an assembly part coming up and the elders in my hall at the time sent him to see me, since i usually had good experiences out in field service.. anyway, after speaking with the co, i was sorry to inform him that i did not have an experience that suited the type he needed.
he told me that was o.k.
because he could use me anyway for another part.

Don't you DARE to get up!!
by stillin9 ininteresting points from this week's wt study (dec 15 2010 study edition):.
par 12: "do i encourage my children not to view the song between the theocratic ministry school and the service meeting or the one between the public talk and the watchtower study as a sort of intermission,an opportunity for them to leave their seats unnecessarily, perhaps just to stretch their legs?".
why do they have to make such a big deal out of everything?

WT Men as Squegee Men - Is it true?
by Band on the Run ini know that since the witnesses don't like education b/c one might learn to think, members are consigned to certain jobs.
brothers held jobs as cheap soe salesman, that type of thing.
some security without a gun.

Yes AnonJW, but those same people could have gotten a college degree, made even more and not had to do the physical labor of window cleaning. Window cleaning may work for some but frankly, there are thousands of better ways to go.

Random Digressions
by NewChapter init's hard for me to always stick to topic in a thread.
maybe i have trouble with linear thinking, but sometimes someone makes a comment that sets me on a completely unrelated path.
i've noticed that some members vigilantly watch for this and warn when a comment is off-topic or when the thread has strayed far from the originally stated topic.

I always thought pansies were just sad flowers. But I guess you can see them in an angry light as well.

Witnesses are saying "END IS RIGHT NOW!"
by free2beme ini have witness friends telling me, that this is the end right now!
that this globel issue of the nations of egypt, libya and others ... is the sign they looked for.
now with what is happening in the usa, wisconsin to be exact, more trouble is rising and this is it.

The end must be far off because the Bible says that they would say "Peace" and then destruction be instantly upon them. Not anywhere near peace so the end must be far off.

The jW's have admitted their wrong but never apologize
by Star tiger indear friends,.
even though i've left the religion i find it very distressing that although they've made hundreds of mistakes in predicting the future and human issues they will never say sorry, how many innocent children and adults have died through the blood issue, and now through new enlightenment, now have the truth, total excrement, this is a totally manmade religion, not at all bothered about their flock, i am so glad i am out of it!.

They don't admit they've made mistakes. They admit that "they are human and that the light is getting brighter." They claim that they "didn't have a full understanding". I've never heard the GB admit to a mistake. They've never admitted to a mistake so no apology is necessary in their minds.

Do you think a lot of JWs are ashamed of their beliefs?
by I quit! inthe reason i asked this is because i'm going to the funeral of a man who wasn't a jw.
my mother-in-law has lived in the same neighborhood as him for years and knows his wife.
i asked her if she was going attend the funeral service.

My article on Russia's ban of JW's
by honorsthesis ini am a columinst for cornell university's "the diplomacist".
i recently wrote an article on the various troubles jehovah's witnesses are facing in russia.
i try to make the point that, even if you do not support the witnesses (and most don't) you should support freedom of thought, expression and religion.. if you are interested in checking it out, here it is: "snuffing out religious freedom in russia".

Yan, I understand that. I was referring to the opinion of people who think that they should be banned here in the US as well.
