  watchtower lapel pins

  by wannaexit in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've been noticing lots of these pins on lapels.

  i could almost understand the jwdotorg pin because the new mantra is to go to the website.

  but why on earth are they sporting a building?

  Fade Advice Please

  by Zeds Dead in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i got reinstated in the last month and had my record cards sent to a new congregation.

  i went to a few meetings until i heard the cards had been sent and now i am looking to do a complete fade, no longer go at all.

  the new congregation does not know me well and further away from where i live so i am hoping they will give up trying to make contact quickly.. any advice on do's and dont's and what to expect?.

  Or you could claim to be anointed and have some fun with that. I bet it'd drive the elders crazy seeing you, a newly reinstated person, drinking the bood of Jesus at the memorial.

  Jehovahs Witnesses condemn Christian Religions .In reality Christian religions are Caring for Aged JW`s.

  who are looking after the aged and infirm jehovah`s witnesses ,?

  its certainly not the organization known as the wtb&ts ./jehovahs witnesses religion .. and why is that ?

  satans system of things with jehovahs blessing , has programs to look after those who have such needs , such as the dole for unemployed ,medical assistance for those who cant afford it ,and their are many charitable institutions that look after those that fall in the cracks.

  Gotta say, I'm completely sick of JWs deflecting criticism onto Catholics all the time.
  

  I used to do it myself when i was "in". Or the born agains, they were hated even more i think. I think there's jealousy there because the Catholic church is so rich, more members and has a rich history. I dont believe in any religion but you cant just highlight negative aspects of another religion just to move focus away from ones own.

  There's a chain of care homes here in the UK called Jah Jireh. They're notoriously poorly ran and the staff have absolutely no other qualifications other than being JW's. My wife used to work there and they pay minimum wage and work you like a dog.

  It's not ran officially by WT but by filling a gap in the market elderly JW's are pretty much stuck for anywhere else to go.

  Hmmm... but remember folks, for those who still believe the bible if you were baptized as a JW you were never baptized in the name of the Father the son and the holy spirit as Jesus commanded (Matthew 28:19). (or if you're a hardball Trinitarian, simply in Jesus name). You were baptized in the name of the Father, the son and - gods spirit directed organization. So that baptism don't mean shit.

  Another One - UK JW pedophile faces deportation

  by OrphanCrow in

  man faces deportation after fondling young boy he met through church.

  (full article at link).

  fiscal depute ross carvel had told the court that komorowski became friendly with the parents of the child as they were members of the same church and were jehovah’s witnesses.“they became concerned about the behaviour of komorowski when their son’s behaviour changed.

  “There was a confrontation with Komorowski who spoke with a number of elders at the church. He admitted the offense. Then the father told the police after Komorowski was expelled."

  After? Hmm... sounds like the elders have been reading their Shepherd The Flock Of God Book rather than following common sense.

  Theme of this year's series of Conventions

  by MrTheocratic in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it was announced this week that the theme for the 3 day convention is "do not give up".

  these are the words that are spoken to someone who is struggling and is in the process of giving up.

  this theme tells me that many in the organization are tiring out and slowing down.

  Lets be honest now, how many young non-born in members are there? Very few. Even 33% of the born in's leave eventually.

  Once the 1970s/80s generation die off or leave then who's there? I really hope i see the downfall with my lifetime and im only 32.

  I hope there's a follow on to the BUNKER VIDEO - Kevin and his mates are still alive and well and decide to check up on the witnesses in their bunker:

  Jehovah's Wonderous Creation - The Guinea Worm

  you're not likely to see this in an awake!

  for those that believe in intelligent design please explain this one to me:.

  You're not likely to see this in an Awake! magazine, but here goes. For those that believe in intelligent design please explain this one to me:

  Dracunculus Medinensis, otherwise known as the Guinea Worm, native to certain countries in Subsaharan Africa.

  This worm is a parasite that enters the human body at the flea stage through contaminated drinking water, bores its way through the human stomach and and then grows and grows until they leave. Their head protrudes through the human body, usually the leg or foot, causing so much pain that the victim usually wants to get near some water - the perfect place for the worm to spit out its babies, after which having completed its purpose, the worm dies.

  They exist purely to take advantage of homo sapiens (us). Scientists are currently working to make them exstint due to them causing the deaths of so many little babies that simply wanted a drink of water.

  The disease rarely causes death in adults, but the worm tends to stay in the body for a year and it takes an excruciatingly painful period of several weeks for the worm to leave the body. If present in joints it can do permanent damage and in the spine paralysis.

  So, please explain why Jehovah decided to create such a little beast with no other purpose than to infect us humans and cause us pain and, in the case of babies, a painful death?

  help me think like an elder

  by Homer notsimpson in

  2. friends

  ok guys, i have been tasked to ask for your opinions regarding this case.. and be honest.

  my brother sexted a girl a little over a year ago, they never dated, and she got mad at him.... she got engaged and the engagement ended in august.. she attempted suicide, then talked to the elders an told him she was gonna tell on him too, now that was in august, the sister told my brother that since she didn't know his hall they couldn't do anything.. we found that doesn't seem right, so hes been freaking out, but ita now two days away from 2017 and the elders haven't speaked to him yet.. why could that be?

  could they give him all this time to confess?

  Tell him not to sweat it. Such a thing would need to be dealt with by HIS congregation elders. If they had proof they would have raised it with him by now. And even if they do want to meet with him he can turn down a visit. Or, if he does accept a visit deny deny deny.

  !What, a suicidal, emotional teenage girl with apparent commitment issued claims i sent naked pics to her? Im offended! And it's rather stumbling that you brothers would think such a thing."

  A Comforting Thought About Watchtower

  by freemindfade in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this organization will never again be what it was by 2013-2014. .

  they peaked in the form they were, i believe they were already falling apart in ways, but from the outside and to the majority r&f, things likely still seemed on the up and up.

  browsing through the boards and just keeping my finger on the pulse of what's happening, this organization will never again be what it was.

  I do hope the WTS topples in my lifetime. I always explain it to outsiders as "like North Korea". Everyone thinking they're the only ones that are unhappy and think everyone else are happy. The looking over your shoulder, the snitching, the propaganda, looking at the outside world with envy.

  Surely no young ones are converting these days are they? And the born ins are dropping like flies.
