  What kind of things did you do when going door to door to add time?

  by whyizit in

  i was intrigued by an earlier post.

  the point was made that the jws are going door-to-door to meet a quota and are not really concerned about the people they are witnessing to, but only in saving their own butts.

  has anyone ever had a non-jw friend and asked them if they could talk about jehovah for a while to them, in order to fill the time they need?

  Have you SEEN the way JWs "walk" from house to house. This is supposed to be the most important work there is and yet they crawl around in groups WASTING time. A door to door salesman on commission makes them look stupid. He maximises his time, moves on immediately when he realises there's no-one home, walks briskly between houses and quickly and efficiently takes his "not home details" JWs knock, wait 5 mins, knock again, walk to end of path, record NH, double check the detail, stroll to next house, repeat.

  Joke.

  Who would have the "Upper Hand" an Elder or a leader of another Religion?

  .

  lets say an elder that knows his bible very well, and a priest or any high ranking person of any other christian religion who also knows his bible very well, would get together and each with a bible in their hand.....who would come out victorious?.

  The problem is not, who knows their bible better, it's "who understands the others reasoning" better.

  Witnesses are very GOOD at "disproving" things which others believe, whilst in reality they are disproving a "Straw Man" arguement.

  Christians are very BAD at realising that is what the Witness has just done.

  In effect both parties are arguing over different issues but don't realise it. As to who wins. . . neither or both!!

  my soon to be three year old son asked me yesterday if i was dying.

  i was shocked that he knew the word 'dying' and asked where he heard it.

  he proceeded to tell me that his aunt (a jw) read him a story about jesus twiste (christ) and jesus was dying.

  Go down to your nearest Christian or religious bookshop and find a really nice bible story book.

  I run a christian bookshop here in the UK and the WTS "Bible Story" book is hideous, dated and frankly embarressing. I swear that if I put a copy on our shelves it would never sell because it is awful.

  I recommend "My Very First Bible" for a three year old. Find it at www.goodbks.com

  Do a search on their homepage.

  You'll both love it

  i can not say the word "potato".

  it's true, i have sinned against the english language.. then he tells me, you say "badado" .

  So what about Lent and Easter??

  by Super_Becka in

  2. beliefs

  ok, so today is the first day of lent (which is painfully obvious to me because i've chosen to give up my favourite snacks for lent and right now, i have a really bad craving for doritos), and it got me to thinking, once again, about wts doctrine and the whole banning of holidays thing that they have going on.. i've read the reasons behind banning things like birthdays, christmas, halloween, mother's and father's day and national holidays like canada day and independence day, but i have yet to read anything about lent and easter.. so, what's the line of reasoning behind the banning of lent and easter??

  and i don't mean easter as in chocolate bunnies and easter eggs and all of that, i mean easter as a religious celebration of the resurrection of christ.

  after all, jws have the memorial of the crucifixion, don't they??

  i'm sitting here taking a look at the posts on jwd when i start to hear a commotion coming from the direction of the cats' litter box.

  i look and one of my cats is jumping and flailing around... sometimes stopping to drag its ass across the floor... with cat crap dragging behind it.

  Advice please re Police blunder

  by katiekitten in

  in november last year my partner applied to become a police officer.

  he received a letter saying he had passed stage 1 and would be invited to stage 2 which was an assessment centre.

  stage 3 was a fitness test which he was sure to pass as he has been running 6 miles a night in preparation.. we received a letter in february 2006 telling us that 300 people had passes stage 1 but they only had 192 places at the assessment centre therefore he and 107 others had been 'randomly de-selected'.

  What Went Thru Your Mind While Sitting at The Meetings?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i used to listen but not really.

  i'd look at the platform/speaker stand, look like i was paying attention, get antsy, and find another elder to "discuss" something ith.

  i just got to the meeting----right before it was to start and if the talkative po decided that his last part was going to go overtime, i'd put on my coat and look at the big clock on my way out in front of everyone and leave for the local bar.
