  Amazing Kingdom Hall Sign Endorses Cedars' JWSurvey.org!

  AP Newswire - January 24th, 2013, Middle America, USA

  ----------------

  Whoa y'all!

  I could hardly believe my eyes!!!

  The other day I was driving across country in the rural midwest United States and I saw this unbelievable sign outside a Kingdom Hall!

  They actually admitted they were wrong and that John Cedars is right. The sign also encouraged everyone to Google JWSurvey.org. I nearly crapped my tighty-whities I was so excited:

  

  How cool is that!

  Hallelulah! Can I get an amen?

  Crisis of Conscience and DreamGolfer, thanks for the endorsement and a big chest-bump back at you DG!!!

  ÁrbolesdeArabia: Why is so much energy spent on trying to capture the wrong doer and nothing is done to help or shepherd their own sheep obeying them?

  Great question. I wish I had an answer that makes sense, but I don't. Nevertheless, it really does prove that this is not the True Religion on Earth today.

  Phizzy, yeah, isn't it sick! Rarely do they come call on you when you really want and need help, but woe to you if they even suspect you're up to something wrong. I think a lot of the elders are wannabe cops.

  BTW, I got your PM and responded.

  sillygirl2013, Thanks, I've been using my hammer a lot lately! Sometimes it's just the best tool for the job.

  ding, your comment is similar to what ÁrbolesdeArabia wrote above. It's really proof that their priorities and sense of what Jesus' teachings were all about are all wrong. They've completely lost the thread. The "wolves" they want to chase out of the congregation are often the very best people they have, but they have this one completely unforgivable sin: Independent Thinking.

  Of course she's going to pray before a geometry test, because she didn't have time to study going to all those meetings!

  And just why does Sophia take the short yellow bus to school?

  "Anytime, anywhere I can pray,

  Unless I'm DF'd the elders say ...

  Then there's no hope,

  Might as well get a rope,

  And go hang yourself anyway!"

  Sounds like someone screwed up from the platform. Wasn't the first time, and it won't be the last.

  They're making it up!

  Annoying 2/15 WT - Don't Be Stumbled- your Mind Just Misunderstands !

  by flipper in

  another wt article which causes jw's to doubt their own perceptions of reality.

  ) in this particular article titled " for those loving jehovah, " there is no stumbling block " - the wt society stoops to new, or rather re-hashed lows to insinuate that most if not all jw's really misunderstand causes of stumbling as it's just their minds that are imperfect, messed up, or gone entirely anyway.

  the first abhorrent bit of information here describes a witness man who " fought " with feelings of being homosexual and of course the elders thought they had the perfect antidote to keep him from his alleged " abnormal " desires.

  bavman: Also, my ex-father-in-law told me, 'you just need to admit to yourself that you are not thinking correctly'.

  The problem was that you were thinking at all!

  flipper: let's put some real into their reality.

  Oh, I love that! I'm gonna' use it!

  Flipper, ordinarily I agree with everything you say, but in this particular instance I think you really misunderstood what the Society was trying to say.

  Clearly, you need to spend more time in prayer, Bible Study and of course read more Watchtowers and Awakes, which you no doubt will also misunderstand.

  If that doesn't work, then ask the elders for help. They can help because--for some unexplained reason--they NEVER misunderstand the direction from the "Faithful and Discreet Slave" even when what they say makes no sense and seems to be completely contrary to what is published in the publications which you misunderstood.

  Got it? Good!

  Peace out,

  Hello Jehovah's Witnesses. I was in class 119 of Gilead in 2005

  my picture is in the january 1, 2006 watchtower.. why am i telling you this?

  consider this my small weekend contribution to the cause of real truth.

  any jw who has been one for a while, or a born in, knows the regard that pioneers, elders, bethelites and missionaries have.

  Great thread AllTimeJeff!

  Why don't you share what it was that made you leave the religion? What made you realize it wasn't "The Truth"?

  The Elephant in the Room

  2. family

  with a name like skeeter, i have plenty of relatives that could be on a day-time paternity talk show.

  i talked with some this week.

  their lack of want to improve their situation drives me nuts.. 18 years ago, relative betty gets pregnant as a teenager, had a baby (we'll call her mary), very quickly abandoned mary to grandma, came back pregnant with another child 5 years later, grandma pays alot of betty's & mary's bills, grandma used to say that betty was jealous of mary (mary is pretty, thin, and can do well in school.

  Talked to Phone Witnessing JWs

  by jamiebowers in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i usually can't hear someone knocking on the door of our enclosed porch, so i haven't spoken to a jw in person in the ten years that we've been at this house.

  and being that the temperatures are currently very cold in northeast ohio, i suppose the jws are doing telephone witnessing.

  so, today i had the opportunity to talk to two real live jws.
