everyone under his own vine and fig tree

by cameo-d in

does this mean no imports?.

no olives, no fancy cheeses, no coconuts?.

does this mean no industry and no manufacturers?.

"The Good Life" was a sitcom back in the 80s where a young suburban couple decide to leave the rat race and become self sufficient growing their own fruit and veg and raising livestock.

I would love to live like that.

Should the GB be charged with crimes against humanity?

by punkofnice in

i get really angry when i think of how the gb have callously allowed lives to be ruined.

protected child molesters.

caused deaths because of a weird blood doctrine.

I would like to see them squirm when confronted with their duplicity over issues such as Malawi and United Nations. Perhaps their inability to prove they are "directed" but not "inspired" by an invisible and silent god would open most peoples eyes.

Which type of "Apostate" is worse? An Atheist/Agnostic or one who joins a New Organized Religion?

by QuestioningEverything in

just wondering which kind is worse to active jw's?

my aunt used to be a jw but now she is a mormon.

i used to be a jw but now i am agnostic.

Amelia Ashton

I think becoming agnostic or even atheist you are considered spiritually weak and some may even believe with more study, meetings blah blah blah you could be persuaded to go back, but joining Babylon the Great is waaaaaaaay more evil as you have allied yourself with the devil.

Special Blue Envelopes

by Marvin Shilmer in

jw
friends

special blue envelopes.

watchtower has elders communicate judicial matters in writing to its headquarters (or designated branch office).

elders are instructed to send this written communication in what watchtower terms special blue envelopes.

Amelia Ashton

Blue and yellow envelopes.

Presumably only a select few are "qualified" to open them. How "special" and "privileged" they must feel over their lowly contemporaries who are only qualified to open boring old white and brown ones.

Elders refuse to give evidence of a molester and the molester gets away with it!

by punkofnice in

this is the first part where the eldubs refuse to do the honourable thing.

I bet the ordinary R & F are completely unaware of the monsters in their midst and I am not just talking about the child molesters but those who protect them too.

Whatever happened to keeping the congregation clean? They are the ones having no natural affection.

45 JW Rules/Teachings that "go beyond" writings of the Bible

by oompa in

(1 corinthians 4:6) .

.that in our case you may learn the [rule]: do not go beyond the things that are written,.

.. 45 jw rules/teaching that "go beyond the things that are written" in the bible.

So if a 6 year old baptized boy turns up for FS with his mother and there are only sisters present at the house prior to going out is the 6 year old expected to distribute territory and say the prayer?

Has this actually happened?

Scandal...

by James4Tea in

i posted this yesterday on a similar forum, but it was deleted despite there being nothing wrong with it.

indeed, the scandal is one that i, myself, suffered.

good afternoon from london.... .

Amelia Ashton

Hi James4Tea

I used to be one of those zealous bible bashers who attacked the unsuspecting British public going about their business truly believing that a few well chosen words extracted and twisted from my Bible would save your life eternally.

I apologise unreservedly to all those people like you that I accosted in the street and made late for their appontments, to those I roused from their beds on a Saturday morning by knocking on their doors and others I bored rigid trying to covert to an evil high mind control cult.

Please forgive me cos I was a stoopid idiot.

Facebook-Jehovah's Witnesses

by Lunatic Faith in

jw
friends

so, i have been mysteriously added to a facebook page for jw's.

i didn't join and it is supposedly a closed group.

i went to their page and found a dozen others who were wondering how they became a part of a group they never joined.

Amelia Ashton

I have been added to those sites before.

Why any jw would see my profile and then think I am suitable to be added beggars belief because most of my posts are pro LGBT, debunking the paranormal and everything and anything possible anti-JW.

Jehovah is awe inspiring!

by Sour Grapes in

a witless friend sent this to me yesterday.

able to copy the picture however the email is interesting.

and really shows the depth of their mentality.. sour grapes.

Amelia Ashton

Does it not occur to any of them there are way more important things on this planet requiring urgent attention? No, they think their precious god concerns himself with arranging for the city to pay for the electricity on their clock and pass the story on.

I forgot, we will always have the poor so tough on them.
