One brother I knew used to come around and drink beer with me while counting the time. We need more brothers like this.

My mother is trying to indoctrinate my 4 year old and I do not know what to do
by jwfacts inmy mother lives a plane trip away from me, so does not get to spend very much time with zac.
however, she is in sydney for 3 weeks and has been babysitting.
i knew that she would be talking about jehovah, but was very annoyed yesterday when zac said my mother was speaking all day about jehovah, such as how he made the stars.. in the past, i was not overly concerned if zac learnt about jehovah's witnesses, as i thought it would help with critical thinking skills to understand different points of view.

This exact happened with my mum, and my nice and nephew (her grandchildren). However my mum was babysitting full-time for two years.
Speaking from that experience they are now in their twenties, and it's had no long-lasting effect (i.e. they are not JWs).
The funny thing was, when I was a child, my grandmother used to try to indocrinate me in the catholic religion and would talk against JW doctrine (mum was a JW at the time). Mum was very upset about this.

I was thinking s omthing so short they can't help but read it. Like:
I found the truth about the truth at jwfacts.com
It will stick in their mind, and drive them crazy if they don't visit the site.

Has anyone ever used a non-NWT (New World Translation) bible at meetings / study?
by biometrics inabout 1 year ago (before i faded), i purchased an old king james bible from ebay and started using it in the meetings and when a brother came over to study with me.. a common reaction of fellow jws was to stare at the bible, then say "what type of bible is that?
", then they'd sometimes ask to look at it, and flip to john 1:1. when they saw what it said, they'd treat it like it was apostate material, even though a few decades earler it was the same bible jws used.. i strongly encourage any lurkers/faders to use another bible at the meetings and see what type of reactions you get.. .

While GB Cry Apostate Persecution ,,,,,,
by mind blown injw's fail to realize, most of their persecution is not from preaching jesus message, it's from down right disgusting behavior from the gb who shows no remorse.

So true. And if they were actually preaching Jesus' message straight from the bible, without adding to it, most of the JW "Apostates" wouldn't even exist.

Prozac Use Among JWs, Bethelites, Circuit Overseers and District Overseers, What Gerritt Loesch Said
by Scott77 inany bethelite whom served the past 5/6 years remembers gerritt loesch's morning worship when he mentioned over 40% of those in special full-time service (bethel, missionary, co, do) were on antidepressants, such as prozac.
serious phenomena affecting many, but throw the tight reins, multiplies it.

Its also my observation that jw's tend to be bad eaters. eating all the wrong foods and often. I stress 'tend'. As a group among the most unhealthy i have come across.
I have to agree with this observation.
In my opinion possible reasons for this could be:
- Food/gluttony is one of the only sins not rigidly policed by the congregation/elders.
- JWs use food as a comfort when faced with stressful situations.

6. Preaching racism - (1902 Watchtower July 15th page 215)
10. Teaching that the "other sheep" were to be in Heaven and number approximately 411,840,000 - (1918 The Finished Mystery page 102-103)
“The number of the Great Company (other sheep) will apparently exceed one hundred millions. Num. 4:46-48 and Ex. 28:1 indicate but one priest to each 2,860 Levites, which would make the number of the Great Company approximate 411,840,000.—T118, 119; Dan. 7:10. 5:12. Saying with a loud voice—The Great Company will be very enthusiastic workers on the other side of the veil…“-1918 The Finished Mystery page 102-103

I just searched the Watchtower CD-ROM for "Masonic". There are quite a few references to the JWs using Masonic halls.
