my wife and me have a booth at the local framers market.
there is usually about 12 t0 14 vendors each week on a small short street in town.
what is funny on each end of this short street are cart setups with 3 people on each cart.
Do they even go door to door anymore?
Work schedule has had me home most Saturdays for the last couple years. I've seen noone. Not even a tract or old mag in my door.
Not that it matters much, first time they do come I'll add myself to the do not call list
I wondered this too. I asked my former-friend who I met on the carts a few weeks ago and I got an angry "OF COURSE WE DO!!"

Wonder what thought was running through his mind when he threw that glass to the floor?
That's a face of hate right there...
about a year ago i started going to a local christain church.
they were good to me.
i missed the the jw type of always find some one to hang around with.
Steve2 is right. I know it's tempting to want instant friends, and something to fill that religion shaped hole you may be feeling - but I found taking 6 months to a year being religion free and experimenting with what you like or don't like is enjoyable, beneficial and very revealing. You may be suprised discovering the REAL you.

What an odd video and a bizarre analogy to use.
"Empty speeches and contradictions"? - Overlapping generation anyone???
the following letter was read in the congregation today.
it's for all the congregations in india.
i have pasted it as it was.
Are any of you able to make a specific donation toward this need? Your donation can be placed in the contribution box marked “Worldwide Work” in your Kingdom Hall. Or are some of you in a position to make a conditional donation or loan until the branch is sold and then your donation would be returned to you?
“‘Zion’s Watch Tower’ has, we believe, JEHOVAH for its backer, and while this is the case it will never beg nor petition men for support. When He who says: ‘All the gold and silver of the mountains are mine,’ fails to provide necessary funds, we will understand it to be time to suspend the publication.” - Zion’s Watch Tower July 1879
Personally, I find the idea of a billion dollar publishing company asking poor Indian brothers for money so they can further their own cause to be sickening.
just curious if he's still lurking and making idle threats.
you can't find all of us who are on jwtalk!
hopefully what you've read on this site has made you start to think and see the truth about the organisation though that "it's not the truth!
There hasnt been a JW yet that's managed to stay here with their faith in tact. He ran away like they all do.
Did he last longer than "a few days" like I predicted? https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/5148568701632512/welcoming-our-latest-jw-apologist-jtrottigy
hi guys, long time without paying a visit to this site.
today i returned to check a 'gossip' that is running around in brazilian exjw forums.. they are stating that is almost certain they will make a big change in their doctrine maybe this year yet in the annual meeting.
they say people in warwick were commenting on this.
The one doctrine they need to revise to keep alive is 1914.
People are getting impatient.
Watched this last night. It's VERY well put together and researched. A faded JW friend of mine watched it in mine this morning too and was surprised about the child abuse part.
i’m sorry that i talk about dating a lot, i know it is probably very annoying, but you don’t have to read it.
but did anyone else have the most difficult time dating as a young jw?
me and my boyfriend have been dating for a year in half, we are in our early 20’s, and we are still not allowed to hold hands, cuddle or kiss.
Ah I remember Lydia the elders daughter. She was 18, I was 23. There we were not having sex for our three year relationship... we were so frustrated we resorted to her dry humping me whenever the chaperone wasnt around.
Wonder where she is now?
Look, this whole "no sex before marriage" thing is bad enough, but being constantly watched and snapped at for a lingering hug is just unhealthy.
Get out! Get out now and just do whatever comes natural to the both of you.
how outdated is the compulsion of people before the law courts of the land to take an oath on the bible to /swear on the bible to tell the truth and nothing but the truth so help me god.or its equivalent affirmation.?.
and even if you do claim to believe in god but feel giving information to those who don`t deserve it then withholding such information is justified as theocratic warfare deliberately misleading those seeking such information.. if you don`t believe in a god ,you can lie all you like .. and in the case of geoffrey jackson at the a.r.c.
into institutions of child sexual abuse ,he had no problem misleading ,another word for lying to the a.r.c.
I remember about a year ago I was having a solicitor countersign a legal document and she said I'd need to swear some sort of oath on my "holy book". I chose the Quran. She obviously knew I wasnt Muslim and likely saw that it was all bollocks having to do it in the first place. Then I had to put my hand on it and read aloud from a piece of paper which said "I swear on <holy book name> that the statement I present is factual and true".
Of course I may have well have made an oath on the Chronicles Of Narnia for all it meant to me.
