"We're calling on your neighbours to promote a website"
by Simon inwow, it's true - they don't call to 'promote god's kingdom' anymore but just their website!.
we just had an old lady call and tell us that was exactly what they were doing and it has "lots of good things on their for children".
yeah, right ... sparlock?.

Watchtower Tells Us "Employers Seek JWs Only" Yet Most JW Employers Avoid Hiring JWs, Why?
by BucketShopBill inhere's a thought: we're told over and over how employers sing the praises of their jw employees, sometimes with a vague quote about how 'if we could only hire jws, we would as they are so honest'.
however, while some jw employers themselves may hire jw employees (usually cheap entry level positions), most don't.
in fact, many jw's in general who have businesses have a rule not to do work with jws, even those in their congregation.

Forgot to add she came crying to my mum and dad to confess she'd lost their money and said they could have her 10 carat diamond ring as collateral till she paid them back. Mum took it to a jeweller to have it valued and they said it wasnt a diamond and was worthless.

My parent used a sister who was a paralegal secretary to do the bookwork on an inheritance they got when my grandmother died.
She knew how much they got so hit them for a loan of 40 grand promising to pay back with a high interest rate.
She also got her aging parent to remortgage their house and ended up losing the lot when her investment in a business went belly up.
I think she lost nearly 200,000 altogether.

How many things did you toss out in the name of Jehoover
by love2Bworldly ini had a flash back yesterday.
my non jw husband and i went to disneyland and bought my young daughter a set of 7 dwarf toys.
after a few months i felt guilty and threw them away, thinking they were demonized.

I used to get old 45's off the Jukebox for 20 cents when they replaced them with newer ones.
I had over 3,000 and 500 odd albums all burned or made to be sold in case they had backward masking on them.
I ended up having a huge fight with my father over it and told him that was it. I left saying I was never going back.
Were's all these satanists who read Harry Potter novels and bought Beatles albums. Must be millions of them.
End sarcasm.

Misquote in the Creation Book
by ILoveTTATT inmy dad came into the jw's because someone studied the "creation" book with him.
it pains me deeply that he sent me an e-mail recently saying that to keep the peace with my mom, he will stop communicating with me as much as possible.
i should communicate with him only if i have an emergency.. it upsets me to no end, but i cannot do anything or much about it.

Million Now Living Will Never Die! - Rutherford could still be right
by Zoos inrutherford began the millions campaign in 1918. new light suggests that he was obviously talking about babies who were born that year and now, in 2014 they would only be 96 years old.. .
i was looking through a census bureau report on people aged 90+ in the united states 2006-2008, with projections to the year 2050. according to the chart provided there are about 2 million people just in the united states that are over 90 years old.
we could conservatively cut that number in half to reach the 96 year-olds and then add in the rest of the world's figures.. .

So...Assuming God exists, if he were on trial and you were the prosecutor, how would you present your case?
by androb31 infeel free to skip the intro down to the actual purpose of the thread lol!!.
i'm a born in, 32 years in and almost 6 out.
i've been out of the jw's since october of 2008. i came out due to a variety of factors, blood, historical roots, false teachings etc... my older sister helped me out back in 2008 and i subsequently helped my brother exit and the 3 of us became "born again" christians.. i've been mostly lurking but occasionally posting on jwn for around 5 years.

2 Jdubs at a door
by whathehadas inthis video was posted on a viral site.
there's 2 witnesses who are put on the spot by a very simple and thought provoking question.
i read quite a few of the comments posted on this video and most of the people are critical of the jw and you can tell that some have researched about the cult.

I had an witness elder at the door today. Told him I didnt believe in talking snakes. But oh he said it was just satan using the snake like a ventriloquist.
Oh I said then why did he punish the snake.
He couldnt answer that one.

Photography and HDR
by ILoveTTATT inas i have mentioned before, i love photography, and specially a technique called hdr.
hdr stands for high dynamic range, and it means the ratio of the "lightness" of the lightest spot in the picture to the darkest.. .
