  my wife found this 1/4 page ad on page 2 of yesterday's nj star-ledger, probably the biggest newspaper in nj.

  pretty telling.. .

  I understand the ad has run also in the Asbury Park Press; what about the Bergen Record?

  the jws have tried to pad the number of jws in camps.

  how many actually went and how many died?

  can you site the source also?

  I wonder just how many of the numbers of the prisoners counted as JWs in the camps were actually Russelite Bible Student defectors from the Rutherfordite WT organization; it's unlikely that their Nazi captors would recognize the distinction.

  The JW governing body are all overweight, creepy looking little men

  having seen a few of these tv productions and some youtube clips of their assembly parts, how can jehovah's witnesses really take these silly little men seriously?.

  you take one look at them; their overweight, fat little bodies.

  their entirely shabby, overhanging suits.

  It creeps me out when David Splane or some one of them says "The governing body loves you all very much" ... yech!

  i've been noticing lots of these pins on lapels.

  i could almost understand the jwdotorg pin because the new mantra is to go to the website.

  but why on earth are they sporting a building?

  That doesn't mean WT can't voice their disapproval of JWs operating independently of their control.

  It looks like a tombstone. It's remarkable to me that the higher-ups countenance this sort of blatant commercialization (maybe they're taking a cut of the profits; who knows?)

  • Is it fitting to display the Hebrew or English letters of the Tetragrammaton on automobiles, jewelry and other items?

  ……..”Furthermore, we do not want to give others the impression that the Tetragrammaton is the symbol of Jehovah’s witnesses as a whole. We have no organizational symbol to identify ourselves but show that we are Jehovah’s Christian witnesses by living in harmony with God’s will.”—John 13:35.

  vigil help for burney man who died after being set on fire.

  community members shared their memories of wicks, a member of the jehovah's witness hall in burney.

  many of them remember him from his post at the shell station, where he worked along with his wife.

  Simon, it's a mistake to think the mentally ill, some at least, are incapable of premeditation.

  i was so impressed by what the brazilian xjw's are doing to inform the world about jw's unfair and harmful sanctions put upon those who leave the religion that i just had to share their efforts with you.

  congratulations are in order for a work well done.

  i asked sebastiao ramos ramos, a former jw to explain in english what abravipre is all about.

  Ah, good ol' Watchtower (or is it JW.org these days?), these days making friends and influencing people the world over... NOT!

  The Story of My Sister - Lurkers: Is this logical?

  by Funchback in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  my sister got baptized at 17 or 18 years old in 1983. she was ripe for the jw picking as she was shy, quiet, naive and with low self-esteem even though she was tall and beautiful and she attended one of the best high schools in philadelphia.. she wasn't outgoing and she only went out on a couple of dates prior to her baptism.

  she worked at a day care center.

  she loved children and animals.

  Funchback, the main point is: how is your sister now? Has she moved on and is she happily married and pursuing a meaningful post-JW life?

  Did anyone catch the irony in the December JW Broadcast?

  by sir82 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there was an interview with a 107 year old lady who had been a jw since the age of 10 or so.

  remembers seeing the "photodrama of creation" when it was still a thing, etc.. so she's explaining about herself & her husband witnessing thru the years, 1930's thru now.. she says at one point, her husband called on a guy who said something like "the last time i got a call from a jw, it was 50 years ago in xyz village by a guy on a bike who said armageddon was coming soon.".

  the lady was just so tickled, because the guy on the bike was her husband, who happened to run into the same guy (who remembered him) 50 years later.. and i'm thinking "wait a minute....her husband said 'armageddon was coming soon' 50 years earlier...obviously he was completely wrong.
