lets face it russell was a religious fanatic who new how to run a business.

he figured out how to sucker people into devoting their time to sell his printed goods to the public for free.

also he took advantage of the tax free status granted churches and religions in general to built a nice little empire of devotees(free labor) and printing presses..

Looking up scriptures during meetings
by Stealth in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
recently i attended a jw funeral after a 12 year fade.

i did not bring a bible to the talk.

i found it somewhat odd and distracting to the flow of the talk at how much time was spent by all the jws looking up scriptures in the bible that they have all have read 1,000s of times before.

i have just watched a u-tube produced on the 1-6-2013 in canada of a paul hellyer who was a defence minister in canada who stated at some conference that he believes that there are at least 6 different alien 'races' making regular contact with the earth.

one group is referred to as the 'tall whites'.. he understands that two individuals (alien) are working with the us government swapping intelligence and so on.

he goes on to mention this knowledge of aliens is kept from the general population by the ususal super rich nasties the proposers of world government etc.. the interview is something to watch!

so given the amount of focus on things that we can be angry or upset about, or how we have been wronged or abused.... i thought it was time for a bit of a change.. how about sharing some fun experiences?!!

ok, i will start.

i promised, in my opening post the other day, that i would share some that have happened over the years.

my dad used to pray for the witnesses behind the iron curtain.

i couldn't figure out why were they caught behind this heavy curtain.

couldn't they just find a door and leave?.

Poor homeless Bro. Larry Jackson
by ShirleyW in
1. jw
2. friends
theres a story in the ny daily news today that says this jw is homeless and was denied shelter after having a brief conversation with the woman who helped him with his application after he mentioned he was a jw.

her reasoning of why she denied his application was that she thought he would go door to door in the 45-unit facility!

i myself find that hilarious, he just mightve done that to get his time in!

Shunning - The Article that started so much pain and heartbreak (WT 1944, May 15)

1. jw
2. friends
my sister and i were just talking about this very topic this morning.

when jesus supposedly chose the watchtower society as the faithful and discreet slave in 1918, no one got disfellowshiped for anything!

how is it that now, in 2012, our disfellowshipping policy is used as proof that they are god's earthly visable organisation, in that they "keep the congregation clean?".
