I predict that many Bakeries will go out of business in the USA in the near future because of the decline in the number of JWs frequenting the donut shops after field service.

ive not been to a meeting in five years probably.
yet my husband still goes and i always envision him going in and the hardy handshakes he gives, greeting and being greeted, sitting there with all those suits with the secrets hidden inside, and all those pretty dresses hiding the pain.
if i wasnt disassociated, i wonder if i would be bolder, speak up, be honest with the "friends" instead of toeing the company line.
I would go back to my local KH once just for the heck of it, but they would stone me to death for all the trouble I have caused and continue to cause today.
here the prime sources of data are watchtower publications.. the data.
fact one (from watchtower magazine 15 october, 1993 p32).
doctor x, sympathetic to the jehovah's witnesses, stated that to forego blood transfusions increases the mortality rate for a standard operating procedure from c0.5% to c1.5% (in the advanced world).. fact two (from awake!
Excellent Focus!
Any thinking JW that reads your post has to question the WT and their stand against blood transfusions. The problem is, most JWs have lost the ability to think objectively.
at the 1994 district convention in bismark, north dakota, (could possibly have been 93) my sister wrote a note to her friend and tossed it in the garbage.
the note contained a discussion about going to boy's hotel rooms after the sessions ended, and other troublesome activities, including lying to the parents about what my sister and her friend were doing.. presumably, an attendant found this note in the garbage and turned it into the elders.
on the last talk of the last day of the convention, the note was read out loud to the entire audience, along with the warning that "whoever you are, we will find you.
I just thought of a great way to get back at the DO and CO as well as the elders in their congregation.
Buy some porno magazines, sign the elders names as well as the COs and DOs names in some of the magazines, take them to the assemblies and put them in various trash cans while no one is looking.

w73 11/15 703-4 questions from readers ***.
do paul's words at 1 corinthians 6:1-7 mean that under no circumstances should a christian take to court a case involving a fellow believer?
-u.s.a. here paul was showing the corinthian christians the inconsistency of taking disputes between christians before secular tribunals.
Deliberatly oblivious!
That is a great term for those that support organized religion like the Watchtower.

1880 - symbolizing jesus (1880wtwr 09 01 02).
1881 - commands respect but is a poor and weak foundation for hopes (1881wtwr 05 01 04-5).
Focus,
I have the perfect forum you can post this stuff about Russell and the BS. It is a Bible Student Forum that I post on from time to time. The administrator (Regan Balman) is a control freak. There are also a few JWs that will post there from time to time.

The one that goes by Sherlock is a JW, mind controlled to the max.
If you want a few more BS forums to post on, let me know.
Have fun!
interesting take on christians, including jw's.

TR,
The site is somewhat sensationalized. It is interesting though. I clicked on the Republicans from Hell and my computer froze, I wonder what that means?
what the bible's about: russell and his servant girl.
what follows are quotations from "the finished mystery" (volume vii of the studies in scriptures), a publication by the people's pulpit association (1917-20, 1924, 1926-7) for the watchtower society.
(matt, 24:44-47; luke 12:42-44.)..
Focus,
I have dealt with several Bible Students over the years that basically idolize Russell. When this topic is brought to their attention, they always jump on the band wagon to support Russell and claim whatever he did with Rose Ball was innocent. They are like dealing with a bunch of mindnumbed robots. They still think the Great Pyramid is Gods witness to mankind and reveals God's Divine Plan.
The JWs will defend Russell even though they know little about what he taught. They do it out of a sense of obligation to the Society.
Even when you show them that Russell changed the measurements and the dates he set, they come up with some lame-ass excuse to crap away Russell's false prophecies. Russell gave the impression that he was God's mouthpiece and faithful slave.
WT 7/15/1906 pages 3811 and 3821
WT 4/15/1904 p. 3356 WT 6/1/1905 p.3570 WT 12/15/1916 p.6024
Now the WT does not acknowledge most of what Russell believed. The Bible Students see J.Rutherford as the evil slave. There is a division within them that binds them together, if that makes sense.
Anyway, good post!
Wow! I learn something new everyday. Thanks waiting. If you have any more tidbits like this, let me know.
