what are some stupid analogies that you here dubs use all the time to explain their faulty, destructing teachings?
or maybe ones you've used in the past that when you think about them now, make you cringe?.
here are a few that come to mind:.
IN TIMES OF PERSECUTION IF THE BROTHERS MISSED A MEETING THEY WOULD NOT KNOW WHERE THE NEXT ONE WOULD BE HELD! SO NEVER MISS A MEETING OR THE SAME COULD HAPPEN TO YOU!
WHAT? I WOULD SAY 'HALLELUJAH', CAN'T FIND THEM ANYMORE!
OUTASERVICE (NOW MISSING ALL THE MEETINGS)
why do jw's spend so much time judging one another and tell the elders when they perceive someone breaking a wt rule?
jesus said that his followers would be recognised for the love thay had among themselves.
so, what gives with this watchtower religion?
THEY ARE NOT HIS FOLLOWERS, AS SIMPLE AS THAT!

do you remember any from your childhood?
here's two.. one dark night when the moon was bright...two dead boys got up to fight...they lived on the corner in the middle of the block...in a two story house...on a vacant lot...back to back they faced each other...drew their swords and shot each other...a deaf policeman heard the noise and came and killed the two dead boys.. teacher, teacher don't wup me...wup that boy behind the tree...he stole the money and i stole the honey...ha, ha teacher ain't that funny.
THERE ONCE WAS A GIRL FROM FRANCE......
WHO THOUGHT SHE WOULD TAKE A CHANCE.......
NOW ALL HER SISTERS ARE AUNTS!
i am a never baptized ubm.
my jw wife is unhappy that i am looking for other churches.
after careful thought and several conversations we have agreed not to treat each other from the assumption that improper motives are behind whatever either of us decide to believe.
AMEN....... GOLD_MORNING! I AGREE TOTALLY.

i think i might (if it is possible) be.......slightly...inclined toward foot fetishism....but only slightly.
but, i find that i look at attractive feet and find them esthetically pleasing.
and......slightly (only slightly) exciting.. i have no idea what this means.

several years back we had some special pioneers sent to our congregation where the need was great.. they had to make their 150 hours to receive their $50.00.
that figured out to 33 cents per hour.
of course they had to pay for the gas in their car, plus their own food if no one gave them any!.
SEVERAL YEARS BACK WE HAD SOME SPECIAL PIONEERS SENT TO OUR CONGREGATION WHERE THE NEED WAS GREAT.
THEY HAD TO MAKE THEIR 150 HOURS TO RECEIVE THEIR $50.00. THAT FIGURED OUT TO 33 CENTS PER HOUR. OF COURSE THEY HAD TO PAY FOR THE GAS IN THEIR CAR, PLUS THEIR OWN FOOD IF NO ONE GAVE THEM ANY!
I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH THEY ARE GIVEN TODAY, BUT WITH GAS AT $2 TO $2.50 A GALLON, I WONDER IF SOME ARE HAVING SECOND THOUGHTS ABOUT SIGNING UP.
CONVINCE PEOPLE THAT THE ORGANIZATION SPEAKS FOR GOD AND THEY WILL DO STRANGE THINGS!

i have to say that the longer that i stay away from jehovah's witnesses, the easier it is to see that they are so wrong!
so wrong about how they live their life, so wrong about their fundamental belief system, so wrong about how they treat people---whether they are jws or aren't.
for any of you lurker witnesses here, please get off the fence and recognize you were never "in the truth".
MINIMUS, DON'T YOU WORK, OR DO YOU HAVE A COMPUTOR AT WORK?

how many of us imagine winning the big one, and all our problems in life would be solved.
we could get whatever we wanted without worrying about money, could buy our way out of almost any situation (like the rich folks do), go on any vacation anywhere in the world, dress to the nines on a daily basis, and use our wealth to get others to do our bidding.. money = sex, power, influence, decadent luxury = happiness???.

I DON'T KNOW IF I WOULD BE HAPPIER OR NOT, BUT MY BANK AND THE CREDIT CARD COMPANIES SURE WOULD!
