  Name "UNWRITTEN" Rules That JWs Are Supposed To Follow

  by minimus in

  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".

  Never understood that erroneous male answer thing. I wonder how that whole last days "your sons AND daughters will prophesy" thing would work out?

  What would have Jesus done ?

  "everytime you want to do something think at what jesus would have done at your place".

  every one already heard that once, i'm sure.. what's funny and i always dreamt to do, but never had the courage, it's to take the box where you put contributions and throw it at the ground to break it.

  elders : "what are you doing?".

  Be the lone (and single) brother hanging out at the house of two sisters.

  Work at an actual paying job. Help support your mother.

  Actually feed people who've sat listening to you for hours.

  Be uplifting not negative.

  The problem with JWs is that it is an US American religion. One that got stuck in the fabled 1950s television land. A complete life of make believe.

  The underline thing is for "show". All study articles when opened should give the appearance that a paint factory vomited on the pages. It is only the most spiritual minded who treasure books/mags/etc that look like a hot mess.

  Go hang out with people considered "bad association" while the Pharisees, er 'scuse, Elders complain as procedures to have you 'killed' begin. Brother snitch-a-lot will be promised a part on the Circuit assembly for being a witness against you.

  Watching too many COPA matches can do things to the mind. Wait! You need a special cable package to watch those!

  having endured three days of dashing attempts at further indoctrination, i feel the need to write up some of the stuff i left with.

  it is just good therapy.. right away the change was noticeable in the air.

  the assembly hall in la feria, tx still smells like new.

  Watchtower 6/28/2015 on 1st Christian Courage, Have the Courageous Watchtower Leaders Ever Condemned Radical Islam?

  by skepticSam in

  i read blondie's great summary of today's watchtower lesson and thought about all the christians who died from various deaths for preaching the word and because they really believed what they preached the watchtower asked something of this sort, "if you were a christian in the early centuries, could you boldly stand up to all the exquisite tortures hurled at the first century christians because they were not afraid to take a stand for christ or be cowards to evil!".

  are you aware of any condemnation made by the watchtower against radical islam or any actions showing their courage and being no part of this world?

  they attack patient christian religions but what about others, where is their courage?.

  Yeah, they know yapping would just end in tears. It certainly wouldn't be pretty.

  They say nada. In fact, in one of the African countries, Christians are being slaughtered by the hundreds (at one time). Nothing on that either. I figure it's because they only have 'Christ' in their title and not Jehovah.

  Need to add about radical Islam:

  Er, I don't think they have the balls for that. Sure NY wouldn't care about some lowly publishers paying the price for their chattering.

  However, Islamocrazies don't operate like that. They go after the people in charge and their Headquarters with military precision. They don't seem to like NYC anyway. Just another excuse to topple something there.

  Lawyers can't intercede on that. So mum's the word. Besides, JWS are strictly "Western", not much is ever said about the religions of other cultures.

  They take, they do not give. They do not do charity because they have no love for their neighbor. The big shots don't even care if the members have nothing to wear, nothing to eat, or roofs over their heads. Certainly there are no funds set aside for those truly in need.

  Anyhow, 1-st Century Christians were "Witnesses to Christ". They were brave and relied on their relationship with their Lord and Savior. (Not some book factory) Most actually saw Christ perform some miracle or the other.

  You already know "Jehovah Witnesses" are pretty much wannabe ancient Israelites & not Christians in any sense of the word. Christ is too soft hearted, to merciful for them. Plus he was always talking to women.

  Besides, if it came down to the GB putting themselves in real personal danger ... not a peep from them. Seriously, they can't even get the light bulbs right about God's word.

  Longhairgal, I don't think they hate you for leaving. It's more of a learned response out of fear that someone else may see them smile or speak. They have a HUGE fear of man and of being seen by sister self righteous snitch.

  It's kinda like living in a theocratic Nazi Germany ... fear rules.
