I heard the crap, Smurfs were magical evil creatures. I saw in the 80s kids parents get talked to because of the kids having one or PJs with smurfs on them but other than the urban meme where did this come from? Was there anything printed about it?

How Would You Prove To A JW That They Are Wrong?
by minimus inwhat could you say to prove to a witness that they simply do not have the truth?.

blownaway
Impossible. They are trained to not look at anything critical, and not to listen to people who are not JW supporters. You can't. Its obvious they are wrong but the old saying you can lead a horse to water.

What is the current pulse in the organization with the reductions?
by SouthCentral ini have not seen jehovah’s witnesses in my neighborhood for several years now.
it appears that the cart witnessing has taken over.
congregations are being consolidated and witnesses are being forced to travel a greater distance than before.the burdens/privileges of elders seem to be ever increasing!.

I stated to notice this several years ago. When I went to flea markets and out in public squares ect. There they were standing next to the cart talking, playing on the phone or just leave the cart and go shopping or to a coffee shop. I thought this is BS its cheating. LOL

I just moved out of Florida. Irma chased me out. Done with that crap, No food or water for a month. I would not live in California on a bet. High taxes, government over reach, and oppressive restrictions. Screw California.

Cheese!
by neat blue dog inany cheese lovers out there?
i just love virtually any kind, from creamy and soft to brittle and sharp, from cottage cheese to the 'moldy' cheeses like gorgonzola.
i like to try new things, so any suggestions for cheese varieties you have tried?

I love cheese, but it is full of fat and I have tried to limit it. I try to use FF mozzarella on my pizza or my meatless meat balls for a meat ball sandwich.

Am I being unreasonable with my pimo boyfriend?
by Addison0998 ini was very lucky to have be dating somebody who didn’t run and snitch on me when i started having questions and showing him research i did, instead he listened to me, and after a few arguements, he did wake up as well.
it really didn’t take much to wake him up, and he was more just tired of the crazy witnesses in general.
and now we are planning on getting married and fading together so that our families can at least enjoy our wedding, that special time in life, before we possibly loose them one day.

Not everyone has the same reaction to the same things. My wife was raised in the cult as was I. I read posts here, follow people on youtube who make videos of what the cult is doing and watch what the cult says next. I follow the news that relates to the cult. My wife feels they stole enough from our family's and she is happy forgetting them. When she is around her family that are MIPI she is happy to just not talk of it. I don't have an issue with this. Sometimes she gets frustrated when she catches me watching a JW video. I have to remind her it is how I work through it. I am not her and I deal with it different. This makes sense to her and she has become OK with it.

Loose Conduct

Well if you are in a situation like this you go into your JC and cry that you let Jehovah down and your congregation and your spouse. All you want to do is to stay with your spouse and serve Jehovah bla bla bla. Unless you have some old axes to grind from one of the elders you should be OK. Its a joke but if this is the first offense or first one you got caught at or they know of and so there is no pattern of action and you show enough repentance you should be OK.

Apostasy Movie
by The Fall Guy ini found it extremely accurate, and as such, not a pleasant experience.
merely reinforced my certainty regarding the org's venomous teachings & practices.. a very well made film for non-jw's to get a good insight into the minds & attitudes of the cult and its members, but not really one i'd urge faders to go and see.
victim returning to the scene of the crime scenario.. opinions will differ..
