it's 9:50 am and a carload of ja-java-witnesses (witnesses who spend more time at coffee shops, and feel more pious than low hours ones!
)(arrive for coffee , by 10:45 the "fab-five" are out the door to tear up the "return visits".
was it my beard, was it my sunglasses, hat and long hair that shielded me from their presense?
AA: Welcome brother,That is exactly how j-dubs act.

long time lurker, first time poster.. .

over the last several years i've faught a hard-won battle to rid my mind of all religous and supernatural beleifs.
Bloodyhotdogs: Welcome! I still believe in Jesus, just not the BORG.

in the 10/15 watchtower study edition on pg.
12 is the article " what kind of spirit do you show ?
" right away this article starts drawing the line of demarcation in the sand between who has the right to make decisions within jehovah's witnesses and who does not have the right to do so.
Good lord, these pricks are getting more and more brazen every time they write a article. This BORG is insane.

i've been browsing and reading threads here for a while.
i am never a jw, i am in a relationship with an inactive one, who in fact is in the middle (not knowing what to believe anymore).
i have read some of the threads here about stories of those who have experience with jws and mostly ended up hurt but there also some who made it.. and some of the threads/info/works that you all have done here are really great!.
WELCOME TO THE BOARD!

Raypublisher: Eric, it's good to see that your happy. Way to go bro

so i've been studying with jws since april 2011.
1 year later i decide to become an unbaptized publisher and take steps toward dedicating myself to jehovah.
i'm a single working mother of 2 with what i will call a very "colored" past.
Madcow: You are a grown person who has reasoning power. My advise to you is not to take the plunge. I agree with ( oodad) I myself was an elder and I got baptized at the age of 16. You are going to undergo a lot of heartache in the BORG. If you do the deed, and even when you realize you have made a terrible mistake, we will be here for you to help you pick up the pieces.
We won't SHUN YOU LIKE THE J.W's ARE GOING TO DO TO YOU.

yes, by land transfers - connected.. .
first - masonic hall property.
the parcel now known as the land owned by the mason's appears to have been consolidated some time ago to form one huge parcel.
It never ceases to amaze me how corrupt, dishonest, and down right hypocritical the WB&TS has been. Thank God for the Internet and people like Neverknew who share their research.

yes, that's right, the watchtower organisation has openly admitted to condoning child abuse.
"impossible!
well, don't take my word for it, you can read the latest instructions directly from the watchtower society here.. alternatively, take a moment to read my thoughts on just how preposterous i think this loving religion is.. http://www.jehovahswitnessblog.com/child-abuse/watchtower-tells-elders-to-carry-on-protecting-child-molesters/.
I've read the letter. Those idiots are getting themselves deeper in hot water. When will they ever learn.
