Name "UNWRITTEN" Rules That JWs Are Supposed To Follow

by minimus in

jw
friends

as with the scribes and pharisees, there are a number of unwritten rules that witnesses are supposed to follow.

here's a couple : "worldly" kids in society depictions are shown quite often wearing their baseball caps backwards.

jehovah's witness youths would not want to imitate that "look".

Women should not wear jeans only if your going to the beach, because you can't wear shorts to the beach-Mexico unwritten rules

BURNING AMBITION by Jehovah's Witness YOUTH: "I want to clean toilets in Bethel for the rest of my life."

by TerryWalstrom in

as i have written previously, i crashed a discussion between a young j-dub and his baptist workmate who were having.

a religious debate outside starbucks.

this was months ago.

Some young ones have that mentality, but most see it as the org been to restrictive. Am working with a young one in the congregation encouraging him to go to colleges after high school. He told me last weekend he regrets that he got baptized so young. So most of the young ones are going to give the GB the one finger salute and go to college.

@ the mavster welcome to the board, a lot of us taught that working meaningless jobs and pioneering was the way of life. But learning you been lied to for so many years makes you realize how much time you wasted. In reality you still have a lot life ahead of you go ahead and work towards something you enjoy doing.

What are the costs of literature cart witnessing?

by oppostate in

in the article on the guardian ( http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/jul/14/jehovahs-witnesses-evangelism-church-god-armageddon ) mentioned in another thread, there's this quote of mark omalley, who is assigned to the public information desk at the jehovahs witness uk centre in north london.

we now have more than 165,000 [literature] carts on the streets in over 50 countries.

it gives us visibility and availability.

They are actually made in china I know cause I put some together. The biggest cost are the poster signs they're around 30-40 dollars each depending on the quality. Multiple by new mags convention invitacion and other tracts it runs the congregation 100-200 monthly.

A letter to Mr. Morris

by diana netherton in

friends

dear mr. morris,.

i am writing this letter to request that you have an immediate meeting with jehovah regarding the tight pants, spanx (i think you mean spandex) issues.

it it clear from your pants rant that jehovah has focused his attention away from the billions of people currently suffering on the planet to address this specific issue.. today i observed a group of witnesses in my neighborhood.
