i was shocked to hear how the slander against jehovah's name that we see in the world can be compared to a good man accused of being a child molester.

he went on to describe how terrible such an accusation would be, and how "friends" of the accused would know he's not capable of such an act and would rally to his defense.

at several points in the talk, he refers back to the child molester "example" and how eventually, despite the hideous slander heaped on a man in this situation (depicting jehovah in the bigger picture, we assume), that man's good reputation would be restored.

What about the 16 cases that the setlled out of court in stead of fighting out to prove that the name of Jehovah is clean.

Alright singers here's a question for you

by WillowTrees in

for whatever reason, my voice will not sound 'crisp' ...'clear' ...it sounds very weird.. and i've been singing for like 13 years.

(without training)...so i spent a lot of time 'letting the air out slowly like a straw' breathing exercises...and i can scream across to japan and be heard.

(those are those tiny singing words you hear in the middle of the night in the distant) ...but for some reason, whenever i hear a new band or song or artist, i can automatically tell they have that 'crisp' sound in their voice... it's very clear and crisp.

they pay some one with a huge mixing bord to make them sound that way buy taking of the rough edges of their voice

Shy JW at the door ... the pain of it

by MrMonroe in

someone tweeted today: "a jehovah's witness who is shy to people at the door.

those few words paint such a sad picture.

how many jws with little self-esteem and self-confidence, particularly born-ins who have never known anything different, are sent out into neighbourhoods to knock on the doors of strangers and speak to them, knowing the householder resents them being there?

I did door to door sales of cancer insurance for a while. I got the same look from people then as I did when I was palcing the rags. I stopped selling the insurance

when I could no longer deal with the rejection. Same thing happened after a while of placing the rags and praying more never made it better.

Abortion double standards

by Flat_Accent in

obviously the wt is pro-life when it comes to abortion, whatever the circumstances (a viewpoint completely devoid of human empathy, a quality which they consider so important) according to the bible, life begins at conception, and deliberately terminating a pregnancy is punishable with death.. but are unborn foetuses going to be resurrected?

no.. it seems that embryo's are 'human' enough for god to be pissed if you abort one, but not human enough for him to care about giving a second chance after armageddon.. another idea that's been repeated to me by several witnesses, is that some children (only the angelic like ones of course, not the little hellions that run around stepping on frogs) will survive armageddon, because they can not have made a proper decision about serving god.

but a worldly woman who is pregnant will die, thus condemning herself and her unborn to everlasting destruction.. a bit unfair isn't it?.
