If the elder questions you about it, just tell him you had lunch with him. The article from Sunday's Watchtower had a footnote that read "it's not wrong to Eat a Meal with a non-believer" :)

Would be so awesome if anyone gave a crap, but unfortunately...no one does. The ORG ($500M - $1B strong) has too much pull and mind-control over its members, and the organization (to the outside world) is so small, they figure "if you don't like your religion...just leave". I wouldn't be surprised if the ORG. donates money to political interests (bribes) in order to keep their operations going. They make enough money to give a million or two to each of their "almost" 8Million members...yet most JWs are lower-middle to lower-class in income. Talk about using the "system of things" to the full. The WTBTS does it better than any JW I ever knew...

Known Pedophile takes young boy to bathroom at circuit assembly....WTF?
by QuestioningEverything inmy mil's circuit assembly was this past weekend.
she came over for dinner to our home after the assembly.
in conversation, it came up that a known pedophile was seen walking to the bathroom holding a young boy's hand-no relation to the boy at all, although that wouldn't make a difference!

Awesome... pedophiles have more "acceptance" than a person who finds out how FAKE the ORG. is and decides to leave. Pedophiles are good at "keeping secrets", maybe this is why they get left alone. Anyone who points out faults, mistakes, wrongdoing...these are the ones less worthy of respect among JWs. SICK and TWISTED.

Jesus and His Disciples...were Apostates! LOL
by RagingBull inthis is just my thought after reading over the "book study" for this week.. the apostles chose to follow christ, all of them were jewish christians.
no matter where paul and silas went, the pharisees stayed harrassing them and would not leave them alone.
spreading vicious rumors and trying to have them stopped.. jws compare themselves to the apostles who were being persecuted for going to the synagogues and drawing away other jews and proselytes.

This is just my thought after reading over the "book study" for this week.
The apostles chose to follow Christ, all of them were Jewish Christians. No matter where Paul and Silas went, the Pharisees stayed harrassing them and would not leave them alone. Spreading vicious rumors and trying to have them stopped.
JWs compare themselves to the apostles who were being persecuted for going to the synagogues and drawing away other jews and proselytes. Even as they went into Gentile territories the Pharisees were on their backs.
JWs would compare the Pharisees to "Apostates" saying that the Apostates speak ill of them and persecute them and try to stop the preaching work etc.
NO!!! You JW idiots! - YOOOOU (and the GB/WTBTS) are the PHARISEES and the "APOSTATES" are like the apostles trying to show others that they only need to but their faith in JESUS and not a man-made organization.
YOU JWs (GB/WTBTS) are the ones that go to the extremes to cause trouble for your former members, just as the Pharisees did to their former members.
You praise the BOREANS....yet no one in your ORG can research and check into things for themselves! This is why you never site your sources (or rarely do so) in your publications. Afraid of the backlash, because you LIE or speak 1/2 truths... a lot!
ORG = PHARISEES
APOSTATES = CHRISTIANS (let LOVE be the identifying mark)

I love how no one thinks of how the GOVERNING BODY went from a GROUP of apostles...to SINGULAR men....and now since the mid 1900s a GROUP of men again.
Maybe the WTBTS BIG WIGS told the GB "we're getting lots of dough and people are starting to catch on to our scam. You guys need to get some new light out there and some reminders. We'll throw in some tickets to wherever you want to go on the planet for vacation, just get them back in line!"

Classic Doublespeak--- "You must do your own thinking; let the WTS tell you how"
by pharmer ineducation teaches you how to think.propagandists tell you what to think.true educators present all sides of an issue and encourage discussion.
propagandists hammer hard on their view and discourage discussion.many times their true motives are hidden.
they sift the facts, tell the favorable ones and conceal the others.

BBC Chilling Documentary Of Jehovah's Witnesses Child Molestations/Sex Abuse
by mind blown inbbc chilling documentary of the wts and child sexual abuse.....called "suffer the little children" really gave me an upset stomach to see this.... towards the end of part three i noticed ( i think it's theodore jaracz) cocky body language as he walks down the stairs from the stage of a convention and when he's cornered to speak by an interviewer, he sounds like such a loser...doesn't even have a hint of holy spirit.... part one:.

part two:.

Yeah that cocky bastard Jaracz! Love to dish it out *slamming apostates* but can't answer questions fully b/c he knew what the results would/could be.
They should've said "Bro. Jaracz, we need to meet with you about a judicial matter right now!~" lol

ALRIGHT!!! YESSS!!!! this is wonderful. I think I will make mention of my interest to invest in stocks just to see what kind of looks or "advice" I get from other members about it. I will gladly let them know that it should've be a problem since the ORG swims in such murky waters. :)
I'd love to see the look on their faces...if they only knew. Maybe that'll kickstart their brains. Come on Independant Thinking!
