JW literally take forever to say nothing. After a whole day of listening how to obtain “ peace” , I am not sure if I obtain peace from obeying mosaic law, having a relationship to Jehovah though Jesus or be baptized and have a direct line to Jehovah. Every speaker tries to out bore and contract the other one. Not only it is just fluff, it doesn’t even make sense.
Baptism talk. Old lady gets up a talks about the opposition she faced from family when she started to study with the witnesses. All I could think was what a total load of bullshit, try studying with other Christians or going to another church and see what happens. A former South Korean brother talks about his jail experience, All I remember was hearing about how 21 christians were beheaded in Libya by ISIS listening to CBC that morning. Never hear about that in the KH.
C.O and wife get up give life story. Both had never ever had a job , pioneering since leaving high school. I would be absolutely ashamed to admit that. 40 years old and never worked a day in his or her life.
Makes a few odd statements. Tells people to respectful of other peoples beliefs. Never mentions the magical men in Brooklyn. Tells people that the average person is misinformed about the JWs. One objection we get is we let our kids bleed to death instead of getting blood transfusions and nothing could be further from the truth. Never explained himself after.
Lunch hour some kid comes up and talks to me , real young dumb and full of cum. Since I don’t wear a tie, asked if I was a witness and asked if I believe Jesus and Jehovah are the same person. I ask him who he thinks “ the angel of the lord “ in the old testament is ? Then ask him what he thinks of some of the contractions in the old testament about who has seen or hear god ??
Ask him if he as ever read the book of John in the new testament ? I ask him if knows what a Theophany is and how it can be a deity ?? Little shit then walks away in the middle of my questions. He really though he was going to blow me away with “ Did you know God has a name and it is Jehovah “ .
Day ends with a Bethel speaker. Guy takes dull and boring to a whole different level. I walk out during the shunning part of the talk. Elder/Security wants to know why. I reply “ this is unclean “. You should have seen the look on his face.

With the new explanation of mog and Magog being a group of nations from Central Asia to North African attacking god people ( either JWs or the Modern day state of Israel ).
Now they are teaching gods people will be taken to heaven before the tribulation?
Maybe they finally figured out how easy it was for US evangelical ministries to raise money and they decided they want a piece of the action. I wonder what is next, an assembly on how the WTS supports the troops.

Who makes the most stupid or idolatrous comments at meetings?
Who is just going to keep the peace at home?
Who is really carrying a signed blood card ?
I wonder what the average IQ of an elder is ?

Too bad the station house couldn’t find an Elder on the way out and have everyone baptized as JWs and then everyone formally quit. What would numbnuts do ?? They shun me and I am suing them for it but I can’t talk to them because I am shunning them.

Article in The Guardian - Faith no more: how the British are losing their religion. Mentions JWs
by AndersonsInfo inhttp://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/belief/2015/apr/14/british-christianity-trouble-religion-comeback .
the british have lost faith in religion much faster and more completely than they have lost faith in god.
the most recent survey to show this comes from win/gallup, which found that britain appeared one of the most irreligious countries on earth, with only 30% calling themselves religious.

Secularism and liberalism go hand in go. Liberalism leads to a sense of entitlement and a greater strain on social programs. Strains on social programs lead to a decrease in productivity. Decreases in productivity means jobs go away or governments just go broke. Europe got fat and lazy.
It might seem kind of stupid to see an American working for 7.75 at Walmart in Mississippi talking about the danger of unions but it is that right wing fox news nascar mentality NRA god guns and jesus that have given the US a competitive edge in the world economy. Plus the US hasn’t aborted an entire generation of young people.

I just love enlightened Europeans think they are , while they breed themselves out of existence as their economies collapse.
Even if Christianity is a myth there still a great value in the whole god, guns and country, get married , have three children American model is much better for a sustainable society.

I worked with a guy for years who was a Jehovah Witness. He played the differentcongregation game for a few years , attending different congregation game till they just assumed he was attending the other one till he faded.
When I met my wife and was having problems with nosey elders I tried to ask him about it. He was all , it is wonderful to be a JW, We are the truth, blah blah blah. Little did I know at the time he was just scared I was going to blow his cover. I guess the elders ruined his marriage years ago.
I have seen him around a few times on sunday morning with a suit on but he isn't in the hall. I think he found another church and no longer cares. He is an absolute prince of a man.

I am of the opinion that a firefighter is a job where no special accommodation should be made under any circumstance. The ability to do your job depends on your ability to follow orders without question.
From what understand he is suing because the other firefighters in his unit, house, whatever it is called are not very nice to him and he feels it is a hostile workplace.................heck you could even say he is being shunned.

So
You are rude and disrespectful to fellow co-workers , community and country and repay them with a lawsuit ?? Because you believe they are hostile towards you ? It’s like calling someone “false religion “ and wondering why you get doors slammed in your face.
Freaking parasite. For people that claim to be no part of the world they sure don’t mind filing needless lawsuits looking for a free meal.

I worked with a dub one time and told him with complete seriousness we have a vacant room in the back that can be used for spiritual proposes so if you ever need to worship those men in Brooklyn feel free.
He wasn’t impressed but I still keep playing stupid.
Oh, Sorry, I you guys were about seven magical men or something like that.
