First and foremost...WELCOME. I will comment on a couple things. Others will comment so no need to be greedy. Gods people are all the people that you spoke about...people that do their best to serve him and love him. His name is made known through the bible and preaching can be accomplished in many many ways. Look through this forum and you will see a lot of very positive preaching about god. You will also find a lot of bashing of the org because it is a scam and not directed by Jehovah or Jesus. The preaching work that we are encouraged to do is to promote the org. It's classic bible whoring at its best.

by Cirkeline inwe all know how jw brag about their strong internal love.

All ranks and classes have the uncanny ability to talk shit about members of their own class and every other class. Least loyal friends you could find. Except for people that are fading or mentally checked out.

Class divisions galore! I know too many witnesses that associate with those that can further their interests. COs gravitate to brothers with money. Elders gravitate to COs. unless they know they won't be given any additional "privileges" them they stay clear of the CO. Pioneers gravitate to elders and pioneers. Wanna bees, aka Auxilary Pioneers, lean toward pioneers in elders. MSs kiss everyone's ass, especially elders. R&F try to break into the "clubs" but are kept out.

What black sheep said is the way to go. I showed that letter to an elder I trust and be was very impressed. He said he would call the bluff and send notice in writting and see if they showed up with a lawyer. If they did he said he would abort the mission. One mans opinion; but isn't that what JCs are anyway. Mans opinion.

One sisters fanatic stunt makes my mission progressing...maybe?
by Cirkeline ini sooo much enjoy being with my girls after i got reinstated last fall.
i use pretty much energy (days and nights) thinking on how to serve small drops of ttatt (the truth about the truth) to them without going to far and make them feel uncomfortable.
we have a very good relationship now, and they have accepted that i very seldom attend the meetings, but it is'nt ruining our relationship.

What apostates fail to recognize is...
by nananana inyou can cut & paste all the excerpts from articles you want...you can leak all the boe letters, you can pretend to be witnesses and come to the conventions and meetings...but.
no other organization can begin to rival the success and magnitude of the prophecy found in mt 24:14. so apostates....don't waste your time spending countless hours digging up articles and reading books to convince yourself to turn away from jh's organization.
no matter what "evidence" you find you cannot ignore the obvious fulfillment of matthew 24:14.. .

@nanana. It's only a matter of time until you wake up. Posting here in direct defiance of the GBs direction? That alone tells me enough about you to say with confidence that you live a "double life" and loosely apply counsel to yourself while having an uncanny ability to apply everything perfectly to everyone else. Don't be too embarrassed as this light is revealed to you. You are welcome here now and when that time comes. Sincerely.

Question #9 of this week's "oral review" of DVD "Faith In Action"...
by Alfred inthis week, the service meeting will have an oral review of the dvd faith in action which was distributed in the 2010 district assembly worldwide... as many of you probably know, the intent of this dvd is to present a "white-washed" version of the history of the watchtower by omitting all the scandals and cover-ups.... i no longer go to meetings, but i would have loved to raise my hand and answer question #9 which reads: "what did the bible students expect would happen in 1914?".
my response would have been the following:.
even though the geoffrey jackson admits that the bible students expected a "heavenly reward", the dvd avoids mentioning that russell categorically predicted armageddon would come in october of 1914. what's even worse is the fact that the narrator lied on two occasions by saying that the bible students expected or reasoned that jesus would take the throne in 1914. this is completely false.

One sister said,"They were a little bit off, they were expecting to be taken to heaven right then, that Jesus kingdom would bring that kind of control to the earth."

JWs and medical marijuana
by dogon inwhere do jws stand on the new medical marijuana?
i know they would df for use of it for recreation but if a dr in california gave it as a perscript, and it was legal to buy and use for medical use, has anyone ran into this yet?.

@Talesin I couldn't agree more. Mmj is demonized by witnesses and non witnesses for no reason. I know people who have overdosed on prescriptions, beat their wife while drunk, and caused harm to others in auto accidents while under influence of alcohol yada yada yada. Mmj leads to peace and cooperation. Not beating and crashing. I know if it wasn't for Mmj I wouldn't be able to get through meetings. Period.
