  one thing that bothered me was at the convention they had these witnesses up on stage giving their life stories, well if its their life stories why do they ned cue cards?

  i know where i was born and raised, and how i became a jw, i don't need cue cards to remind me!.

  people who want to share their religious views with you almost.

  Who Has Exclusive Rights?

  by RR in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm getting a kick on the wol board, there is a post there that's too funny.. apparently one of the witnesses went on a return visit with an elder and the guy they came to visit was "un-witnessable.

  well, apparently he had the same beliefs as they did, so how do you witness to someone who agrees with you?

  so the frame of thought from the replies is pretty much, if he has some truths, he must be an apostate, or perhaps he studied one of our publication.

  a few years ago i met a women, former jw from queens, ny, she had left the society for various reasons, one of course, was the 'lack of love' within the congregation.. she started her own greetings card company for xjws, called great crowd greetings.. in going through my stuff, [the never ending, some day i'll get this basement cleaned up] i came across a card she sent me during christmas 1996.. on the cover it reads:.

  That Door

  by RR in

  1. social
  2. humour

  two kingdom hall members were going door to door, and knocked on the door of a woman who was not happy to see them.

  she told them in no uncertain terms that she did not want to hear their message and slammed the door in their faces.. .

  to her surprise, however, the door did not close and, in fact, bounced back open.

  Watchtower History

  by RR in

  1. forum
  2. suggestions

  i once offered this to obed, and he did seem interested, however, because of my being a free thinker, it didn't go too well with the jw moderators on witnet.. i had propose a history forum, where the history of the watchtower society could be analyzed, their beliefs, and practices, how they evolved, why they believe as they did or do.

  such a forum will enlighten many to the organization they either once called or currently call 'jehovah's visible organization.'.

  "fullness of the Gentiles"

  by RR in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  for i do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to israel until the fullness of the gentiles has come in.

  - romans 11:25. .

  i wonder how many of you having read the 11 chapter of romans, see that the jews have not been rejected of god forever.. seems to me from the above verse that they were blinded to the truth, and that this blindness is temporary ... until the fullness of the gentiles, the gentiles, of course being those who would make up the church class, the bride of christ, the 144,000.. what say ye?.
