  @Black Sheep

  I don't know about you, Bio, but my eyes are in the front of my head.

  So do monkeys whose diet consists of more than 90% plant based foods, mostly great leafy vegetables. The other 10% is made up mostly of insects, and very rarely they do eat meat.

  It's more than obvious, and well proven, that the human body is very similar to that of a monkey, and has a digestive system almost identical.

  Animal protein in the human diet is almost exclusively the cause of heart disease, and a lot of other chronic and degenerative diseases.

  Bethelite sent to India for heart surgery.

  an uncle of mine is a lifer at the brooklyn bethel and he was recently sent to india for open heart surgery.

  it's so much cheaper compared to getting the procedure done in the us it's ridiculous.

  does anybody know if it's the society that pays for all this or if it's up to each bethelite's own health insurance?

  I hope he cleans up his diet by removing diary food and meat, so he will get better and eliminate his heart disease.

  what is the procedure for requesting to be on the do not call list.

  what happens when someone requests to be on the do not call list?.

  does a letter need to be sent each year?.

  And don't forget of all those experiences (urban legends) where JWs accidentally called on a "do not call" and that person ended up becoming a Jehovah's Witness.

  i had an account on here sometime ago but forgot the login, but i often read the site.. a long-term friend of mine, a jw, asked me to go to his grandmothers jw funeral a few weeks ago.. i was hesitant obviously.

  i haven't been to a kh in over 5 years.. i am not df/da.

  i decided to quit in 2007 following my failed marriage to a jw.. the person who died was a very well-respected jw pioneer.

  My grandmother (never a JW, or even interested), died a few months ago. Mum took her turn at the funeral to speak, she used that time to tell the audience what happens after death (according to Jehovah's Witness doctrine), rather than reflect on her mum's life. I don't blame my mum for that, rather it's a sad reflection on being a devout JW.

  It's kind of like using a recent natural disaster to open a "Witnessing" speech. For most people it doesn't go down very well, especially when the person may have lost loved ones.

  Yes, the speaker was less concerned with the person who died, and more concerned with preaching the Watchtower's message. But, I'm sure every devoted Watchtowerite wouldn't have it any other way.

  I went to a funeral two days ago. Some things I didn't like, were the speaker said "Nowhere does the bible talk about soul surviving death" I thought of the Rich man and Lazarus "It happened that the beggar died, and that he was carried away by the angels to Abraham's bosom".

  They then went on to use the funeral speech as a tool to convert all her non-Witness relatives. And said her dying wish was that her family put "The Truth" first in their lives.

  "recording devices should not be allowed.

  Just bring in two recording devices. One old tape deck (a big one), and one spy device (like the pen). When asked about recording, surrender the old tape deck, and say "I'm not comfortable with this, but let's proceed anyhow".

  Is there any religion that has so much anti-apostate focus as JWs

  by yadda yadda 2 in

  1. jw

  i'm surprised at how much is in the watchtower lately and at assemblies warning of apostates.

  is it my imagination or is this ramping up a lot lately.

  i am a born-in and stopped attending only a few years ago (now in my 40's) but don't remember so much anti-apostate warning as we see now.. the watchtower seems extra obsessed with apostates and the need to warn about them lately.
