ok, so in the interests of balance....(as it has rightly been pointed out that i am getting more bitter toward the org), can we think of any positive or nice things about jehovah's witnesses?.
just throwing this topic out there....... .
.
They walk a lot, they have good public speaking skills, they read a lot- which would make them excellent college students, if they supported higher education, good grooming, good at following orders, giving when it comes to watchtower events.
It's ok to be bitter, everyones been there and a lot of us are still there. We progress in stages.
i just realized that all these dates that the borg have said the end would come on or by and then it didn't happen, have stumbled me.
why such a fascination and trying to divine the answer from scripture when scripture plainly says only the father knows the day and the hour?
by their predictions, they actually sent many christians on the path of date-based worship insted of faith-based worship.. if they have stumbled me, then who is reponsible for that?.
Hey hey hey, that's old light! They have adjusted their understanding as Jehovah has made the light brighter. It is important not to serve Jehovah with a date in mind. Don't be stumbled, continue to run this race with endurance. The end is imminent!! Advertise, Advertise, Advertise
ok so aparently there was this young girl who wanted to study with the jw's because she loved the bible so much.
she asked her fathers permission but he refused, after much nagging though he said she could have a study if she was prepared to have one of her fingers chopped off.
he thought the is would stop her but she was willing so he got a knife and cut off one of her fingers... a little while later she wanted to attend the meetings and he said no and again when nagged said she could attend meetings if she had another finger chopped off so she agreed and he chopped off a second finger.
I feel bad for laughing.
anybody remember hearing this?.
--.
is that comment in print anywhere?.
I remember a CO's wife saying the same.
this was posted on a jw site and it would be nice if we could verify.. .. .. as of february 2015, the awake!
will come as a part of the watchtower public edition instead of as a separate magazine.
this is a huge change... with serious cost savings.
I was given a magazine by a witless the other day and the Awake is put inside of the watchtower by the society. It's a matter of shipping and formatting.
i have not attended anything jw related for over a year.... until last week when i went to our one day convention.. why you ask?.
i can do what i want i'm a grown adult.. ok...ok...so my jw childhood friend who i have not seen forever, came by for a visit.. i mentally went through the check list:.
is she pioneering and need extra time?.
Hey, now you know you can negotiate in the future. Ask for a steak and decline the sand which in the future lol
until the scientific method came along, your guess was as good as mine.. science differed from opinion by qualifying hypothesis with testing and something called falsifiability.. what was it?.
you have to find a way to state a scientific theory by making it disprovable!.
if you have the theory "all swans are white" it is testable and disprovable how?.
They break up families.
They're quick to change their minds, when necessary or told to do so.
They've always been consistent with the doctrine- the end is right around the corner!!
oh jehovah has provided a wonderful new provision- an app in 18 languages to teach the truth to others in their language.
you can learn phrases such as: in 1914, a war broke out in heaven, satan and his demons were casted to earth and armageddon will happen soon!
in addition, you can learn useful phrases to use at the meetings in your target language.

We should all take advantage of this provision. Should we not? You never know, you may be stuck in a basement during the Great Tribulation with a bro/sis who doesn't speak your language.
Learn how to say Apostate in 18 languages; more languages will be added in the future. Praise Jah!
my wife and i still like each other.
fortieth is "ruby.
" since rubies aren't in the budget, we went to ruby beach for the weekend.
Congrats :-) :-) :-)
so last night i was talking to my sister about how i admired president obama's speech to the u.n that happened earlier that day.. i then compared the extremism of isis to how much of a fanatic my jw bil is.. at the end of the statement , my mom walked in to the kitchen.
she was standing in the living room and she heard everything i said.. she called the elders that night to tell them what i said so they can counsel me.. i'm going to meet with them after the meeting on sunday!.
what do i do?!!!!!.
Just deny say she must have misunderstood, as she was eavesdropping! Say that you were discussing how worldly people compare Jehovah's people to isis because of trying to convert people.
