The next time I see the cart babysitters
by Sour Grapes inthe next time i see the jdubs standing or sitting by their carts sipping their coffee lattes or updating their facebook pages, i am going to approach them with the following thought process acting as an interested person.. do jw's believe the end is near?.
do you consider your preaching work to be urgent?.
why do you just let people walk by if their very lives are at stake?

More head-in-the-sand nonsense of the worst possible kind ...
by LoveUniHateExams inwhenever a hollywood actress has been propositioned or touched up, we know all about it.. but a story - mostly suppressed by the mainstream media - is emerging of far worse abuse of human females.. telford appears to have a grooming/sex abuse scandal of its own to rival the ones in rochdale, oxford and other uk towns.. it appears the msm, police and politicians and other authorities are very slow in learning their lesson from rochdale.. unbelievable that this case hasn't made the guardian or the bbc.. i guess the sisterhood thinks hollywood women are much more important than telford girls.

Western governments are paranoid about people speaking out/denigrating Islam & Muslims - but Christianity is fair game.
After all, Christians won't blow up people & buildings or behead anyone who makes a cartoon of Jesus.
Some info on the BBC Shropshire sub-site - but not on the main BBC News site.

Good news! Every closure and sell-off should cause many r&f to be seriously disturbed by the monetary vampire which the WTBTS has become.
JW's should bear this phrase in mind - "Coming to a KH near you - soon!"

Welcome to the forum Salley.
As you have quickly discovered, J.W.'s and their organization have two faces - one of piety and self-righteousness for the world to see, and the other which screams 'cult.'
One of their favourite scriptures is John 13:35 - "By this all will know that you are my disciples - if you have love among yourselves.”
However, in practice this is translated as "if you have conformity among yourselves.”
Rank & file JW's are positively fearful and forbidden from openly voicing any concerns about their dictatorship's interpretations or practices.
Thankfully, active apostates are more common than suicides.

Memorial Invitations - Part 2
by The Fall Guy injust had 2 jw's from my local kh ring my doorbell and then put the invitation through my letterbox.
absolutely no desire to talk to local jw's who know me, so i declined to answer the door.. on the subject of the invite, the very first sentence deceptively says - "on the night before he died, jesus told his followers to commemorate his death.
he said, keep doing this in remembrance of me.".

scratchme said, "that's exactly what you did."
If you care to read my exact response, you'll see that I did nothing of the sort: I didn't thank them, let them be, and dismiss them. I refused to engage with them and ignored them - something which every potential JW recruit would and should be advised to do.

Naughty, naughty, WTBTS/CCoJW/GB/Faithful Slave - you've been economical with the facts - according to your own dogma. Didn't Jesus instruct only his anointed followers to keep doing it?
The 2nd class riff-raff Christians i.e. "great crowd" weren't included in Jesus' invitation to commemorate & partake. Shame on you

Today's Watchtower :Paragraph 5
by jwdoctrine in1 cor 13:5:"keep testing whether you are in the faith; keep proving what you yourselves are.
or do you not recognize that jesus christ is in union with you?
by ‘testing whether we are in the faith.’ to do that, we do well to ask ourselves: ‘do i really believe that i am part of the only organization that jehovah has approved to accomplish his will?

Memorial Invitations....................
by The Fall Guy in.........are due out soon, so here's a question which could be asked of the jw offering the invite:.
"can you show me any scriptures which says that spectators were to be invited to a ritual which is exclusively for future king/priests in heaven?
" (allegedly).

According to JW dogma, the bread & wine scenario is none of the r&f JW's business - never mind "worldly" people!

Same old same old - nothing radically different.
The org is still following the direction Jesus gave to his followers at Matthew 43:39 where he told them to invite as many unbelieving spectators - as well as every second-class Christian - to an annual event which only anointed Christians were to celebrate. Pretty reasonable - considering the the Bible's instructions.
