How are you spreading TTATT?

by vinman in

just wondering if anyone has used any underhanded ways of spreading ttatt.

i mean, has anyone made up business cards or tracts and spread them far and wide?

i would love to engage in this "alternative witnessing".

I take very opportunity to chat with them about three key issues:

1914

Overlapping generations

1975 and the other failed prophecies

And now the new one: the GB aren't god's chosen, according to GJ. This particular one (video of him using "presumptuous") is on my phone as are a few others.

A few different scriptures so they don't assume I'm someone who's clueless about the bible.

I NEVER talk atheism with them, I find it instantly shuts them off. For me I've always had better success picking topics they can immediately identify with or better - have experienced themselves, like the 1914 gen almost all being dead but still no sight of the end.

If I seem them offerimg someone literature or having a chat I ALWAYS interject and ruin their "pitch".

Since I gave the last two who came to my door a good talking to, I haven't seen one in my neighborhood for at least a year.

Introducing Myself

by Peony in

i've finally got round to joining the site (after over 2 years lurking!

i was born into jws, pioneered for 10 years (met my husband at pioneer school).

had health issues that saw me catapulted away from 'the centre of the cong' and wow what a different place that was!

Pewony:

Your story made me grin and want to clap as I always do when I read about those who set themselves free. I must commend your husband for his courage and loyalty choosing you above the Org, as is what you would expect from anyone claiming to love you. This should be great encouragement for those still trapped by that cruel cult. Welcome to the forum and the rest of your real life!

Women going topless in NYC.

by Fisherman in

within the past couple of days, women in nyc are going around topless in public.

i read in a news article, that in new york city, there are no laws against women going topless in public.the article says that family people are getting offended and they want to stop topless women in public.

in europe women show their breasts on on tv, the beach, and breast feeding in public.

The problem with holding religions to account for their crimes.

by smiddy in

lately we have seen governments from all parts of the western word challenge religious institutions on a variety of issues .

such as tax status , charitable status , child sex abuse by religious institutions , etc.etc.. just how effective these investigations are or will be only time will tell.. their are many factors that will influence the outcome.. politicians make up the government , human beings make up the politicians , and the politicians have their own personal beliefs .

and the electorates these politicians represent are made up of people with their own religious preferences ,and the politicians need to keep in favour of their electorate to remain in office.. and lobbyists whether religious or otherwise do influence outcomes .an elected politician wants to hold onto his seat , his job , his income.. the australian royal commission into institutions of child sexual abuse gives me hope that these concerns will be addressed .. i can only hope so , not just for the jehovah`s witness children who have been abused , but for all children who have been abused ,by all institutions secular and religious .. smiddy.

Don't forget: religious people in general represent a large portion of the politician's constituent. They don't want to offend anyone in fear of losing that portion of the vote. At the moment New York is having a rough time dealing with the Hasidic communities underhanded practices due to all the "deals" the politicians have made in order to secure the Hasidic vote, who in a few counties hold enough power to determine The outcome of an election.

Sister attendants not able to give directions to a brother..Misogyny

by Theburstbubble in

at our recent rc i was advised by a sister who was an attendant that they have been advised not to be able to give brothers directions as this should be dealt with by the brothers.

apparently at the pre-convention attendants meeting, the sisters were asked to stay behind.

this was when they were given the news that the brothers should deal with brothers.

When I compare the ladies on this forum and the ladies in my life I can see why these Org women get trampled and accept it. The ladies here and in my life have self esteem and self confidence. Of course higher education which the majority Org zombies are discouraged from, goes a long way in enforcing and improving those traits.

Remember the one that said something along the lines of, "like bees that were molested?" What? Creepy!

Lol Toes, somewhat prophetic, wouldn't you say?

If God exists ....

by iconoclastic in

if god exists, he must be a god of freedom.

because he has endowed us with free-will, and never interferes with it (as confirmed by our own experiences).

that means he wants everyone to make their choice and reap the fruits accordingly.

Half banana

If god exists: then we live in a terrifying world of arbitrary magic.

I like how you put that.

It's true. It is legal for women to be topless in some areas of NYC. I've seen a few myself - no big deal.

I don't see what the fuss is all about concerning bare breasts. Doesn't this planet have far more serious issues to contemplate than a pair of bouncing boobs?

When I was a kid I used to sing those awful songs with gusto, my favorite was "from house to house, from door to door ..."

Yuck! I'm thankful my self respect never had to take a hit singing them as an adult.
