i know some jehovah witness that have a yard full of lights, that they put on at night time.
but when xmas comes around they don't light them up!
of course, because they don't want their neighbors to think they believe in xmas.
Thank you Simon. Drugde, you will find lot`s of letter`s being used to shorten things on this forum, I often struggle to work out what the heck people are talking about, it`s good to get in a habit of asking some-one will always explain for you.
So what brings you here, or are you the same as a lot of us, incognito?
rather than just rely on the watchtower's latest opinions... are you ready?.
1) please read this article:.
2) if you are offended by the article's title, read this page for an explanation of what the phrase means, then go back and read it:.

Hello Drudge, it`s so nice to meet you. Welcome to the forum. Xmas lights a, that`s hilarious. I know JDub`s that get up 4 in the morn on xmas day to get their spot on the beach so they can spend all day in amongst the worldles. I know JDub`s who have xmas at other times of the year just so their spoilt little darlings don't miss out on anything & believe me these kid`s get so much more than the worldly kid`s get. Shower parties where the only thing that is missing is the birthday cake. Where I live everything is about the showy display of ones means of life & what it looks like to others wether worldly or no.
alright, i want everyone to list your top three reasons for jw to be cult and/or not the true religion.
1.you can't look, or wear whatever you want.. 2. blah.
3. blah.
1) Abuse of authority. Use of position for their own benefit, often financial justifying themselves with a we deserve it attitude.
2) Blind Obedience. Must be obeyed before God. They deserve worship.
3) Segregation. Withholding info to all except a few worthy individuals. Estrangement from anyone outside the religion, family/friends this includes shunning, alienation, or persecution.
1. the life and ministry meeting will proceed as outlined in the life and ministry meeting workbookand according to the instructions that follow.. 3. treasures from gods word:.
the theme and an outline of two or three main points are provided in thelife and ministry meeting workbook.
this should be assigned to a qualified elder.. 6. concluding comments: 3 minutes or less.
4) Apply yourself to the field ministry. Videos of MODEL presentations, I find the whole thing funny I just laughed all the way through. We get a real insight to how JDub`s view the people they call on.
JDub) "Hhhheeeelllllloooo, mmmmyyyy nnnnnaaaaammmmeee is SSSSuuusssaaannnnnnnnnneeee."
"Wwwwwwaaaattttt is yyyyoouurrr nnnnaaaammmmmeeee??????????."
Householder) I don't know nufing, I`m a idiot.
Except for Carol, she had read the bible a few times & still managed to know sweet FA about it.
none of my jehovah's witness relatives called to tell me or my family.
just found out this morning.
o.k i`ve just been watching the demonstration for the new meeting format & have fell about laughing.
is this some kind of joke.
did anyone find it totally ironic that they are using a mag on honesty, honestly are they f...king off their heads.
O.k I`ve just been watching the demonstration for the new meeting format & have fell about laughing. Is this some kind of joke. Did anyone find it totally ironic that they are using a mag on HONESTY, honestly are they f...king off their heads. I mean let us read this biblical principle Hebrews 13:18, " we wish to conduct ourselves honestly in all things".
What the.... I seriously cannot believe the outright cheek after what has been revealed at the ARC. All I can do is laugh at the front they have. They can lie outright to millions of people & then publish a mag about honesty, get the one`s they lie to, to go deliver it to peoples door`s. These men should come with a warning label. God`s chosen one`s, I`m beginning to think they may be the reason he created us with a middle finger.
Please tell me you picked up on this to!
i was in town centre about an hour ago to buy a shirt and tie for an upcoming job interview when i was stopped by a youngish, clean cut american young man (20-ish) in a cheap suit.
my heart sank as i thought it was local jws.
to my slight relief, it was mormons!
neither, can be proven only to the believer can they exist.
we could therefore say that a persons feelings on god and love are simply chemical reactions produced by the brain.
however what i find interesting is that if a certain part of a persons brain gets damaged their personalities and emotions can radically change.. the rebel..
My dear Morpheus, I do so apologize if you thought my words were directed at you personally I assure you they were not. I just made a statement of how I personally feel about the younger generation. There is a beauty in the simple way children see things as adults when we express an appreciation for that as apposed to correcting them all the time then we encourage them to explore more & learn their own truths be it God or not. This is something the WTBTS neglects to realise, they do not understand Jesus words to become like a child.
I hope that I have explained myself better, I in way wished to suggest you were lacking in humility.

Morpheaus, if you go through life looking at everything through your own eye`s & never through the eye`s of a child, it is because you have neglected to humble yourself, & therefore you never see the wonder or beauty around you & you never learn the things that only a child can teach.
This isn't something I can explain to you, you have to work it out for yourself. Children offer much wisdom for those not to proud to learn. It is sad, I think for you, that all you have to say about the words of a little one is negative. Does it really matter weather you think she is wrong?
Rebel, what are you talking about. Love comes from what is inside us. A person who willingly sacrifices their life for a complete stranger is not just an act of bravery it is also an act of love. Love is more than the brain or the heart it is the whole being, it is a warmth, a light that cannot be made to go out. If there is no love then there can be no hate either. Do you believe there is hate in the world?
