Maybe you should ask her if she's had all her shots first.

Odd question in July 15 2012 WT
by breakfast of champions inwhat if a powerful government were to hatch a plot to exterminate jehovah's witnesses as an organization?.
they ask this question at the bottom of page 23 of the july wt, and i thought the wording was kind of strange.
the target is not jws "the people" (as in nazi germany) but the org alone.

This fear-mongering is going to make JWs even more suspicious of The Superior Authorities™ than they already are. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised in coming years to see them making hints at 'taking matters into your own hands' to ensure the Organization™ is protected - from Apostates™, from the Disfellowshipped™ and from non-JW family members who refuse to become JWs.
I would be extremely careful around any JW whom I knew to have firearms.

A JWN Member just lost her Husband and She could use some encouragement.
by ohiocowboy inon 4/6, the poster orphan annie posted about her experiences with jw's and her ill husband.
unfortunately, her husband died monday, and she is feeling very sad.
i just wanted to make others aware of it, so that we can encourage her and give her some much needed support during this rough time.. her original thread is here.

Mr Scully and I went to see Neil Young a couple of years ago. He's still as bad@$$ as ever.
I'd like to have a maid too. Housework sucks.

Threats from the JW mafia (subtle threats)
by thecrushed inmy dad recently found out i wasn't coming to meetings and going out in field service.
he found an excuse to get me alone in his car and just lit into me about it.
he said that if i'm not going out in service that i'm not one of jehovah's witnesses and the brothers won't be able to trust me when the time comes to go undercover due to being attacked by the authorities.

I'm not one of Jehovah's Witnesses and the brothers won't be able to trust me when the time comes to go undercover due to being attacked by the authorities.
On a more positive note, the authorities won't come after you when the JWs are being "attacked by the authorities". Did you ask him if he'd like you to bring him a cake with a file in it when he's in prison?

My son was murdered today
by truman ini have been on this site daily, almost from its beginning, since i left the jws in 2001, but i have been more of a reader than a poster, as you can see from my post count.
i know few here know me, although i know many of you through reading your posts.
maybe it is not right to ask for support, when i generally stay quietly in the background of this forum, but i want only to speak a human misery of the deepest kind.

This Year's Memorial the Shortest Ever
by compound complex inthe memorial last thursday night was, to my recollection, the shortest i've ever attended.
thirty-five minutes.
it was truly a cliff notes version.

Well, it went just over the perfunctory "need not exceed 30 minutes" for the Funeral Discourse™ (cf: http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/beliefs/136147/1/20-minutes).
At least Jesus ranks slightly better than most dead JWs (GB, COs, DOs, and Regional Building Committee Coordinators excepted).

Help! I need sane people...
by lostinthought inlatley i have been telling some of my family members that i don't beleive anymore, i had my mom especially not really beleiving either...then today's special talk scared her into submission to the wt society.
i guess the brother started crying during the part when they were telling inactive people to come back to jehovah.
she now says she's going to be a regular auxillary pioneer and that she's not going to give up on serving jah now cause she's afraid she's going to die.

she's not going to give up on serving Jah now cause she's afraid she's going to die.
Way to go, Jehovah™. People aren't serving you because they love you, admire you or appreciate you, they're serving you because you scare the $h!t out of them.

Atheism or Agnosticism, which one is correct?
by Joey Jo-Jo inthis has been bugging me for a while, and while i dont want to turn this into something about semantics i think that we should quickly define what an agnostic and atheists are.. richard dawkins defines 7 different types of atheist ranging from weak to militant atheists, but along these definitions there appears one definition with a strong resemblance to agnosticism.. to me an agnostic is a person who neither believes nor disbelieves in deity/deities, but there are those who define agnostics as a ignorant who simply just don't care or don't have the intelligence to come to sound conclusion.. an atheist can be a person who disbelieves in a deity/deities based on the current mathematical and scientific understandings of the universe, as well as understandings that can refute certain religions such as the strong influence of protestantism christianity in america.. .
from here i will refer deity as anything ranging jehovah to a real spaghetti monster, it's not important because a) we dont know b)for the purpose of this discussion it is not important to define what we believe god to be.. an argument that can be used about a deity is -we cannot prove nor disprove that god exists- this is referred to as a null hypothesis, an assumption that we cannot create a hypothesis to prove or disprove this deity.
this to me is agnosticism and is more correct than the idea of atheism.

I'm more of an I-don't-give-a-crap-one-way-or-the-other-ist. I have no intention of wasting any more of my life on it, when there are so many more productive and positive things I could be doing.
