there is no doubt jws are famous for the preaching work even if you do not agree with the doctrine.
i have always wondered why if the work is so important and backed by jehovah, jesus, and the angels why do pioneers, cos, dos and assembly hall overseers and their wives etc.
who are on the front lines get cancer and other debilitating diseases that take them out of the most important work in the so called" last days".
I bid you welcome, Kensho!
It has been pointed out here many times that terms like pioneer, field service report, missionary, etc aren't in the bible. It's all just busywork to keep the rank & file enslaved to the GB gods in Brooklyn. The WTS and the religion behind it is just their front. Keep posting...

LOL! The garlic thing is just a silly myth about vampires, just like the children's stories about other vampire phobias like running water, the cross or having to be invited in. Also, they are able to be seen in mirrors, like anything else.
I hope snowy is okay...

i must be said that a whole bunch of us were wondering and worrying, thinking that evrything from bears to elders to cia agents got you, yknot.
we're glad you're back; even me, the dark one, who was a bit nasty at times and stung you.
welcome back!.
Alright... *sigh*... greetings, Kensho.
For some weird reason the threads that I create tend to attract first timers every now-and-then. Yes, I do tend to be a bit of a grump but it takes a special type of person to make me truly hate them. You're not even close to that yet, Kensho. Anyone is welcome here but there is a price to be paid if, over time, one is constantly vicious/rude/condescending or comes here with a messiah/chicken little complex. Please feel free to make your own intro thread now and we will give you appropriate welcome there, okay? I promise!
Again, welcome back yknot.

Dude, there is a blue bar at the top of the page and one of the buttons on it says "New Topic". You click on it and you're off to the races...
I really wish you would have found another thread to crash instead of this one. Embarrassing!

firstly a wedding/sales talk that mostly features heavily on how the woman should behave (hint, doormat) and lightly brushes over the fact of the husbands bevhaviour ( oh yeah he should treat her well).
the reception normaly at some crummy comunity hall with yellowed ceilings and chucks of damp plaster falling off the walls.
the seats normaly arranged facing eachother all around the edge, so that theres a huge unused space in the middle and everyone is climbing over everyone elses legs to get to their chair.. a big spread donated by everyone, normaly an ode to food poisoning.
Let's not forget to include the obligatory warning to wordly relatives and others at the ceremony that there is to be no throwing of rice when the happy couple exits the hall as it is TOTALLY PAGAN.

this place has become far to jw ish for my liking.. free expression and rights to make reply are shut down by those who hold the key.. this forum is turning into an uber christian outreach program with those who take umbridge to them getting locked and deleted threads.
it would perhaps not be so bad if the moderators actually communicated to people such as myself rather than cold cutting.
they complain when we make a public outcry and tell us it belongs in a private message, yet cannot see 'the straw in their own eye' and do not use the private messages to communicate why they have done what they do.
I humbly submit that there was nothing wrong, objectionable or offensive about Auzzie Oz's attempts at a last word on the thread that was deleted.
OTOH, the lesson for us all is that when a thread is locked, the discussion is OVER. Any attempts to further the discussion in a subsequent thread will get that one locked or deleted as well, no matter how well intentioned it is...
