JW sighting while shopping
by Scully in
1. jw
2. experiences
i was out today at the grocery store, picking up a few things for the weekend, when just beyond the pineapples, i spotted a jw lady i was once friends with.. i wasn't interested in engaging in conversation, so i just continued picking out fruit, when out of the corner of my eye, i see her look at me and recognize me.

she looked like she was panicking, and then darted behind a pillar in the store, trying to hide from me!.

my dd was with me and noticed what happened.

Jehovah's Witnesses---A Religion That Does Nothing For Anyone
by minimus in
1. jw
2. friends
the reality is: jehovah's witnesses benefit no one but themselves!.

they don't contribute to society.

they refuse to get involved in local interests because that would constitute violating their neutrality.. if sexual abuse allegations are made amongst their members, unless two witnesses can attest to the molestation, they refuse to get the "superior authorities" involved.. they claim to be doing their neighbors a "life saving" work but the reality is that they simply are pests to their "householders".. they are a tax free "religion" and they do not pay taxes.. they are judgmental people and regard the "world" as "worldly" and in the "power of the wicked one".. and if the individual members do not conform to the organization's dictates, they might very well be "shunned" and regarded as "dead".. why anyone would want to be a jehovah's witness is beyond me..

so i have been having problems with the renters that moved in next door.

the last 3 months have been a living hell.

i have an ongoing complaint with the slumlord that owns the property and the city is taking him to court for derelict vehicles next week (which i anonymously complained about, but i am sure i am being blamed for).

Now the WT Society is Telling Witnesses- Don't Worry too Much About Health
by flipper in
1. jw
2. friends
in the nov.15th watchtower that a lurking witness friend i have on the board sent me , it really guilts the witnesses into not worrying about their health but pushes them to do more, more, more.

it has a disgusting picture of perfect martyrdom of a sister in a wheelchair witnessing to a lady at her door with the caption, " despite health problems , jehovah's people find joy in the ministry.

a few twisted points i wanted to share to show you how mind controlled the witnesses are in even controlling it's members view of showing concern for their health !

Possible reason for book study change?
by Damocles in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
in my experience, you can't go too far wrong in ascribing gb actions as responses to three stimuli: precedent, money, law.

if two are involved, like the tax implications of selling literature, the ws move swiftly and decisively irrespective of precedent.

the book study change makes little sense.
