  This good news of the kingdom will be preached ...

  by biometrics in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so some of my jw friends can't answer a lot of the questions i put to them.

  invariably they end up with the comback line of "this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come.

  " and state that jws are the only ones doing the preaching.. i suspect most jws who've left have come across this.

  Brings back memories. I saw that (or very similar on wikipedia) while I was still attending meetings. At the time it was easy to dismiss it as "Satan's work", and an attack on "God's Organization", but the table on doctrine changes did leave seeds of doubt.

  Joined the Ministeral School and worked my way up to giving a public talk, then used my own outline on "The Truth about The Truth".

  But seriously, I probably wouldn't have gotten into any discussions with my mum. I think it broke her heart that she now thinks of me as "apostate" because of some of the questions I asked.

  @Dagney

  In that movie, dairy food is emphasised more than meat. But in general terms, any animal protien isn't too good for you, especially the serving quantities these days.

  JW urban legends

  by kurtbethel in

  1. watchtower

  i scraped these off of a jw message group, and they are too over the top to not pass along.

  it is interesting to see that jws pass along these yarns just as their worldly friends do.

  most of them have that vague "friend of a friend" quality that urban legends are well know for having.

  Facebook and employment interviews

  listening to this in the news got me infuriated!.

  there is a growing trend that employment interviewers are asking for facebook profile with login password.. they are looking into everything you post.. there is no law in the books to prevent this!.

  even though i'm self employed, i think this goes beyond what's required of hirees!.

  Personally if an employer asked me that, I'd ask for their bank login so I can see if they have enough to pay me.

  anyone with that Gestapo mentality is definitely NOT someone i would like to work for anyway

  Unfortunately for most JWs who leave, they have NO support network, NO/LITTLE education (if they followed WT instructions), and work experience in lower end jobs (window cleaning ... etc). In addition they've been in a cult that thrives on control. So a lot of ex-JWs are at the mercy of "Gestapo" employers till they get their life sorted out.
