"We don't do that" - Serena Williams talking about celebrating birthdays

by vivalavida in

i guess you can be physically out, like in a huge way, but definitely mentally in.. serena williams claims she won't be celebrating her daughter's first birthday.. i did know people like that, raised as a jw but never actually baptizing.

that didn't mean they were not messed up in the head though..

I cant believe how backward that is. Thinking Jehovah is ok with her having a baby before marriage, but loses his shit over a birthday celebration.

Wonder how many JDubs will lap this up regardless?

by processor in

seriously.. https://www.wuv.de/marketing/unternehmer_sichert_sich_marken_der_jehovas.

businessman felt harassed by jws, so he found that word marks "der wachtturm" and "erwachet!

" (german versions of "the watchtower" and "awake!

Brilliant!

Since waking up from this cult I find it highly ironic that there's a Jehovah's Witness magazine called Awake!

Eldub BIL, and Df'ed Kid's!!!!

by DwainBowman in

my super fine eldub bil, has a son that's been df'ed for a long time.

last month he deeded off 1/4 of an acre of land in the back of his pasture, bought a small local built used tiny house, and got it all set up, for his son to live in.

to everyone of the jw's in this area really look up to him and his stand on having nothing to do with his df'ed kid's or grandkids.

This is actually good news. Hopefully he'll wake up rather than being a hypocrite though.

Strange first names among jw's

by fulano in

do you remember those families where all the sons and daughters had weird biblical names?.

i recall a " machlon" , "eunice" , even a "jehosafath".

can you believe it..

I know what nutty couple who called their kids Temperance and Ziba. I get that some countries might have funy names but these were a white English kids living in the north of England.

Temperance and Ziba... what were they thinking?

1980s Brochure/magazine on demon possession?

by caves in

does anyone else remember a brochure/ magazine from the early 80s with stories of demon possessed individuals and spiritism ?

i dont think i saw it around very long.

it had a story about some lady having her head snapped around by a demon.

Another Christian woman kept a handbag given her by an aunt who was a fortune-teller. Using the handbag in the ministry, she experienced powerful thoughts of "Go home!"

Oh I had those thought's all the time... In fact, I had them every time I went out on the ministry and every time I went to the meeting.

by Sanchy in

jw

a user over on the jwtalk forum recently shared a warning over his research on evolution in preparation for an assigned talk.

after detailing a couple of the tidbits that he learned of during his research, he went on to say:.

this i found to be useful especially when talking ot others in the ministry.. but and it is a big but.....

Talking donkeys, talking snakes, living inside a fish... impossible!

God did it!

Ah, that explains it.

Do Any JW's Still Use/Trust the Reasoning Book?

by The Fall Guy in

under the heading last days, the introduction promises this:.

"the present wicked system of things, which extends worldwide, entered its last days in 1914, and some of the generation alive then will also be on hand to witness its complete end in the “great tribulation.”.

will the "slave" explain to their followers that such an invaluable "witnessing tool" is no longer to be used, or will they just revise it electronically to reflect "current truth?

pale.emperor

Perhaps a new book in the pipeline (released electronically of course).

Remember the Wife of Lot

by Addison0998 in

for family worship last night, our family watched remember the wife of lot movie since it will be discussed in the meeting this week.

there’s a few things i noticed that i didn’t think about last time i watched it.. first, the dad is very of course against his daughters going to college or even trying to find a good job.

yet he does accounting, which is a very good job that almost always requires a college education.

pale.emperor

I never got what was wrong with the oldest daughters hair... there's a bit at the dinner table where she goes back to the cult mentality and the family say "you gotta fix your hair" and they all laugh.

Anyone know what was wrong with it?

Has Tony Morris got a problem with bangs now?

JW’s do NOT shun... (apprently)

by pale.emperor in

my quora campaign of answering all jw related questions truthfully with evidence is going well.

however, one jw had the audacity to claim that "jws do not shun".

they seem to want to present a fake, squeeky clean image to non-members and seem to get angry when answering questions regarding shunning.. like this asshole, dennis cybulski.

pale.emperor

Ugh Quora is overrun by overzealous JW who think the internet is their preaching ground. Some of them are really, really Fing obnoxious.
Won't be long before I quit the whole site.

I'm deliberately becoming the bane of their Quora presence. They block me from commenting one by one. It's like a badge of honor.
