  Did you mention why you were not giving 15 cents?

  You must have set tongues wagging, or perhaps they think you think it is to fund the Candace Conti trial but they cannot even admit to knowing about it.

  JW businessman's email about the UN and false religion

  by Las Malvinas son Argentinas in

  i was shown a hard copy of an email from a purported jw businessman who claimed he had contact with some un officials as part of his 'business'.

  in conversation, he claimed that he blurted out and asked them when they were going to clamp down on religion as foretold in jw prophecy.

  according to the account, the un official acted startled, and asked 'how do you know?'.

  I heard this one too, except it was a debating team and a UN official was a parent in the audience who questioned the student at the end of the evening as to how he had gotten confidential information that only UN members were privvy to!

  i just noticed this twitter account with over 9k followers.. https://twitter.com/jworg.

  could this actually be the watchtower's official twitter account or a dub running ahead of the chariot?.

  I am dreading my first encounter with dubs. Glad you are ok with it.

  What would you have said if they had seen you and come over?

  by punkofnice in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  there were times when i was a jw that i asked myself :.

  'what constitustes actual worship at the meetings?'.

  it got to a point where the only worship i could see was a sycophantic arse licking of the governing body.. i found nothing at the meetings(tm) were actually anything like worshipping god.. .

  We had a pioneer couple that had a large wooden tetragrammaton over their lounge doorway. They felt it kept them safe. Lol

  Amelia - JWs have the watchtower(R) logo to worship.

  I so agree. I am sure if they could get hold of a little gold watchtower to hang on a chain as a necklace they would.

  Worship has so many different connotations and each religion seems to practice or view it differently.

  JWs don't fall down or bow towards an image as an act of worship as the bible depicts but practice it as a lifestyle choice.

  Memorial 2009 was my last meeting. Relative newbie and a work in progress.

  Out mentally 100% but still a bit scared about meeting any dubs from my past and what to say.
