uugh, I hated those invitation campaigns. Took forever to print those thing off, and if a couple didn't look right, someone in the hall would come up to you and just HAVE to point out that a couple were backwards or didn't print quite straight. "You should be more careful, you are wasting Jehovah's resource's!" Then do it yourself!

Who is supposed to do the "Separating Work" for the new magazines?
by nochoice inso, there is a bit of a fight going on in our hall between our pioneer sisters and our magazine servant.
since the new magazines are boxed with two issues together, there is a bit of work to be done separating them.
our magazine servant stacked them on the counter as usual, right out of the box.

A great picture for proving that JWs aren't weird and cultish...
by cedars init's a shame this is only in the study edition, so the general public can't see how normal and down-to-earth the witnesses are in how they perceive themselves.... .

This is the one I want to post on FB to see what attention it gets. I already got spoken too about the language OTHER PEOPLE used in a comment on one of my friends photo's! When I told him I can't control what other people put, he said "well, you have identified this person as your friend, so its like you are saying it." dummies.

JW tour bus crashes in Florida, with fatalities-
by moshe inmiami - a bus carrying 32 members of a church group hit a concrete overpass at miami international airport after the driver got lost, killing two elderly people on board and leaving three others critically injured, officials said saturday.. the large, white bus was too tall for the 8-foot-6-inch entrance to the arrivals area, said airport spokesman greg chin.
buses are supposed to go through the departures area, which has a higher ceiling, he said.. chin said the passengers told him they were part of a group of jehovah's witnesses headed to west palm beach.
police said in a news release that the group had chartered the bus to take them to a church convention there-.

Hi guess i may have to introduce myself
by rickisteel inhi im from the uk im 42 years old , i was brought up as a witness from birth to 12 years of age i left the meetings with my parents ,.
i had a wild youth was a bit of a rebel involving alcohol ,drugs , heavy metal and motorcycles , i was thrown out of home at 17 my sister was 14. and was discarded as my parents remarried and neither of there new partners wanted us (baggage) , anyway by the time i was married and 21. somebody spiked my pizza with lsd (cant remember the flavour ) and for the next 3 days i thought the world was ending , i called my dad and rambled some stuff to him ( cant remember exactly but the world was ending in my head) a little while later i got a witness call briefly , i found out where he lived and went and asked him for a bible , he suggested i have a bible study me and the wife took the offer and so it began again , i was baptised in 93 and went from strength to strength in the truth , aux pioneering , volunteered for everything , talks , cleaning , meeting parts etc was soon appointed and moved on giving public talks , assembly parts , shepparding calls etc , then in 1997 my wife fell down a kerb and damaged her cruciate ligaments several operations later and disabled ( by the way the brothers /sisters in the cong were great at this point ) my wife began to act odd 1n 1999 she tried to take her own life and over the next several years took 26 overdoses and spent much of her life in phychiatrict hospital in 2001 she was bi polar disorder type rapid cycling (not the common oh i feel a bit low type bi polar but the full blown rollercoaster ride bi polar) .
the thing that struck me was i began to feel like a leper and despite a couple of close friends nobody in the cong or on the circuit( long time friends) seemed to care , i brouht up the kids on my own visiting my wife in hospital and caring for her at home , i felt so alone , when i used to take the kids to the meeting / assembly on my own i just got tutts and sad headshakes "she not come" ?

A "true Christian" wouldn't want to praise Jesus! That would take attention away from the eight part F&DS, of which the religions founder has now been cast out of! Talk about the blind leading the blind.

Jehovah's Witnesses Why Do You Approve Of Child Sacrifice When it Comes To Blood Transfusions For Children

I tried to use this parallel reasoning with someone once. I used Jeremiah 32:35: Furthermore, they built the high places of Ba′al that are in the valley of the son of Hin′nom, in order to make their sons and their daughters pass through [the fire] to Mo′lech, a thing that I did not command them, neither did it come up into my heart to do this detestable thing, for the purpose of making Judah sin.’
It made them angry and went nowhere. They almost cut me off for good. But yes, I see it as the same thing also. I really feel bad for ones in this position. At one time, I would have denied a transfusion for myself or loved ones. Even after I was inactive for quite a while, I still carried the card. When I finally burned it, it was a great weight lifted from me.
I knew a man who lost his wife to the blood issue, and he was a kind, spiritual man, and even though he remarried, he was changed forever.

Yeah moshe, we should never ever leave our homes. We shouldn't go out to eat because delivery exists. We shouldn't go to stores because we have online shopping. We shouldn't go out to theaters because we have pay-per-view.
Really?
