I would add (before reading posts) that no matter your belief / point of view in life, to be courteous costs nothing. Even if a JW knocks on your door, state your view but why be onnoxious. That goes for JW's in expressing their thoughts on the beliefs of others to.

Have you ever made any JW fuming mad?

Many moons ago when we took money at the hall for the mags I looked after the dept. I was concerned that many were not collecting their mags and the pile was growing huge - this of course was money. I talked to the service overseer but he didn't really say much.

The problem went on for ages........anyway, CO visits, notices, calls the SO and myself for a chat. S.O denied all knowledge and said that I hadn't told him.(I can see the smug grin now).

(I was a young MS at the time). My reply to him and the CO was that liars will not inherit the Kingdom and that the brother(so) should go and pray sorry to Jehovah before he offers any spiritual gift during the meeting. The CO just looked at the guy, elder fumed red, walked off and gave me a dressing down later. I told him to do the mags himself, I wasn't taken off MS but moved to another dept.

Like I said, sorry ladies. A few non sexist ones to make up:

How do you get a baby astronaut to sleep?
Rock-it!

My mate asked me "What do you think of voluntary work??
I said "I wouldn't do it if you paid me."

So this lorry full of tortoises collided with a van full of terrapins.
It was a turtle disaster

Police have found a local ice cream man dead in the back of his van. He was covered in nuts, sauce and sprinkle. Police think that he topped himself!

Here are some quotes from today’s WT consideration that caught my attention:

The spirit searches into the deep things of God

Par 1.

“Indeed, Jehovah uses his Holy spirit to reveal deep spiritual truths”

Par 10

“When the time comes to clarify a spiritual matter in our day, holy spirit helps responsible representatives of the faithful and discreet slave at world headquarters to discern deep truths that were not previously understood”.

Par 16

“As you carefully follow the line of thought, questions may occur to you”.

Writing a Letter to the FDS

by cameo-d in

i asked this question on another thread...but no one responded to it.. http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/199271/1/cameo-d-you-have-a-pm.

i am just wondering because i know some of you have written letters to bethel or to the gb.

but what would happen if you actually sent a letter and addressed it to a ficticious entity like the fds?

AnonJW

I wrote to the GB once, I did get a reply. They also sent a copy of my letter and their reply to the cong elders!!!!

Just Got Back From My First Assembly " Take Refuge in Jehovah! "

by losthusband in

thought i'd start a new topic on my experience.................... just got back from the above assembly.......... here is my take on my first and last assembly.

9:40 song and prayer - half the people were still in the toilet...and no one was singing, i didn't have a song book (i am worldy you see!!

) so i just stood and stared at the odd looking fella on the stage miming, rather than singing!.

AnonJW

Elders meeting at Lunch......exciting!

These are so dire, it takes everybody about 10mins to shut the hell up so that the chairman can speak - he reads the accounts that always put us in deficit and then there is a resolution to send more money to the GB. Everyone says yes and it's over.

On the assembly itself, I have to miss sports
