we all know the gb like to impose rules upon the rules... but did anyone else out there have parents that implemented rules upon those rules?

What are some things JWs re-name to make themselves different than Christians?
by NikL in
1. jw
2. friends
jws re-name things so they seem like they are different than other religions.

(of course we know they are different but that's another story).

i was just thinking about those things where they are like most everyone else in christendom but the re-name it to seem different.. for example god forbid they have a church, it's a "kingdom hall".. they don't have pastors and deacons they have "elders" and "ministerial servants".. they don't have tithing but they will have family heads fill out a paper saying how much they can contribute on a monthly basis (not sure if there is a name for that...unless it's tithing.

What I miss about going out in service.
by compound complex in
1. jw
2. friends
well, very little, to be honest.

the structure and commitment of the ministry provided discipline necessary to my life.

therefore, i did it, as required, and felt some sense of fulfillment at the bible study stage.. i do like talking to people.

I am Deaf and blind is Jehovah going to destroy me because I can't hear or see a JW broadcast or read a watchtower or go to the kingdumb hall???

an easy way to stump the delusional jws at your door is come to the door with sunglasses on holding a sign with the words in the above title, and not say a word.

the reaction will be priceless.... hopefully it will wake up those that still have some use of their thinking abilities..

Undeserved kindness
by life is to short in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
just a side note that i found interesting and sort of upsetting, the wt that the jw's will study on sunday the 18th of september has the words undeserved kindness mentioned 50 in just 19 paragraphs.

really they need to beat it into their people that they are very worthless and do no deserve anything from god?

so much so that they use the words over and over, don't they.. lits .

Automatic log-out after a period of inactivity on this site?
by stuckinarut2 in
1. forum
2. suggestions
hi simon,.

i noticed that most financial sites like banks have an automatic log out after some time of inactivity.. could a similar thing work here perhaps?.

if someone has logged on, but not used the site for say 20 minutes, could they be logged out and have to reenter the passwords?.
