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

  by jambon1 in

  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.

  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.

  Lunch today with.. JW step father....

  by raven in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  it has been a while since i've posted, i think its because i have finally gotten some peace and quiet as far as harassment from the jw elders.. my step father, the one who reported me to the elder police for a sinful act invited me to lunch today.. it has been almost a year since the incident, we have talked here and there, it has been just casual though.

  he says he is in town for work and asked if i would like to meet up for lunch, i couldn't think of any excuses so i agreed.. i hope it goes well, hope that we don't go into the jw nonsense.

  hope he doesn't bring elders with him, am i paranoid or what?

  Hi Raven, I'm sure he isn't going to have any other elders there at the lunch. For one thing, he's from out of town and unlikely to have talked another elder to make the trip with him just to have lunch with you.

  Actually, it's to his credit that he's taken the initiative to ask you to lunch, and not stick to the hard line of shunning.

  i was invited to a congregation in ontario, canada today and as soon as the meeting opened the brother conducting the meeting said there was a very important statement coming from the borg.

  this talk replaced the two last parts of "living as a christian" section.

  he started reading a letter from the borg about how much they loved us.

  "- The media has decided to ignore all the material on JW.org regarding Child Abuse despite them telling to look into the articles, broadcasting and magazine articles about protecting the child(s) /members of the cong."

  So that's why they recently dredged up an earlier broadcast by Tony Morris and are running it again.
