JWs on campus
by Sarabethy init's my first time on this site though i am no stranger in the ex-jw community.
i come to you now asking for your assistance in what to present to the dean of students at my university.. why am i meeting with dean of students, you may ask?
because today, while innocently finishing an assignment in the school library, i happened to look out the window and see the jws with their stupid little cart.

I teach at a state university. Never have I seen any cart witnessing. I would think it is a bit embarrassing given their anti-education stance.

I remember giving a talk at a congregation where an elder monitor had an outline of my talk and made sure that I stuck to the outline.

Refusing to Report time in field ministry
by Whynot inwhat do you think would happen if i verbally refuse to report my time?
it's been several months since i turned in my time and i think the elder got tired of asking me lol.
frankly, i think it's stupid that jws are required to do this.

Report 1 hour every six months, that will FU their records when reporting irregular and inactive publishers.

49th Anniversary of my PAROLE from Federal prison
by TerryWalstrom intoday is the 49th anniversaryof my parole from federal prison.
in french, "parole" means 'word of honor'.in effect, a prisoner promises the authorities they will be honorable.. in 1967, i violated the u.s. military training and service act.about 25,000 draft age americans simply ran away to canada.i did not run.
i stayed and gave my 'witness.".

Happy anniversary. It is outrageous that you were not allowed to work in an alternative service role. Is this insane rule still in place? I seem to recall that they now accept alternative service.

Armageddon started...
by mikeflood injust joking i really don't think so...but the situation in syria is pretty worrisome...just hearing the news that france and great britain are attacking with cruise missiles in 72 hours.
i mean assad is not gonna gasify his adversaries when he almost won the civil war.
trump too suspended a very important trip to the latinoamerican presidents summit in peru, just to 'oversee the american response to syria.

All of what is taking place could end up in a cataclysmic worldwide disaster. But these events have nothing to do with what JWs preach related to Armageddon. It is just a mess with no solution or conclusion.

What Is The Most Ridiculous Thing You Have Heard From A Witness?
by minimus ini remember an elder questioning a woman who had admitted to giving and receiving oral sex from her unbelieving mate.
he asked her the most intimate questions which clearly flustered her.
interestingly, she “confessed “ to the elders because her conscience bothered her.

How do you know a JW says something ridiculous? Their lips move.

The destruction of "Babylon the Great"
by Sour Grapes ini read the talk outline #49 for this summer's regional convention entitled "future events that will require courage-the destruction of babylon the great.".
the jdubs live in a comic book world.
babylon the great is all false religious organizations and she is destroyed by those she seeks to control.

I thought that the fall of Babylon the Great was in the past tense. Wasn't that the title of the book "Babylon The Great Has Fallen."

Re:Green handshakes & IRS
by carla ini was wondering if co's who get 'green handshakes' ever report their 'income' from these jw benefits?
in the us even gifts beyond a certain amount must be reported.
jw's like to claim how honest they are, do they report all their income?.
-

The gift tax relates to the tax paid by the giver. The only way the CO is at risk for paying tax is if the money paid is for services rendered. That would be hard to prove. -
