  hi all, just recently i was thinking about the period of my study and eventual baptism as jw.

  it took many years, i guess in all about 10 years.

  various times i stopped the study but after a while it started again.

  Wrong. The white rabbit comes out of Tony Morris's tight pants.

  If a JW Came To Your Door How Would You Handle It?

  jehovah's witnesses have never come to my door but they have come to my girlfriends door.

  i have coached her as to what to say or ask but it appears that they always seem to come when she's not there.

  .....just curious would you get into it with a jehovah's witness at your door especially if it was someone you did not know?.

  I just looked at your profile, minimus, and saw that you joined the forum 14 years ago. I guess you already know then what I said above... which makes my comment unnecessary :D

  Just say, "Add me to your 'Do-Not-Call list.' I wish to never again be visited by Jehovah's Witnesses." Then you may politely say "Goodbye" and close the door.

  Any attempts at arguing or even civil-mannerly debating with them will not work. Also, simply stating that you already have a religion or that you are not interested will as well be unsuccessful endeavors to get rid of them. Jehovah's Witnesses take that to mean that you are not currently interested in their theology. They are "concerned" about your safety during the Armageddon and so will visit you again after some time—unless, of course, you make it clear to them that they should add you to their "Do-Not-Call list." It's a list that forbids Jehovah's Witnesses from knocking at the marked people's doors.

  so, the watchtower study article, "making christian marriage a success" can best be enjoyed when reading it in the language of nigerian pidgin.

  ) e good make love dey make the two of dem think about how the other person dey feel and wetin e need.

  3:7) e no good make dem force each other but make their body first move dem to do am.

  steve2 - I have yet to meet any JW under 60 who is even remotely interested in Biblical history to engage in any discussion whatsoever - even to simply "get" how the organization's date (607 BCE) disagrees with the evidence-based date (586 BCE).

  This duck is dead in the water even before hunting season.

  I was that Jehovah's Witness. I studied Biblical history, and it is one of the reasons why I'm not a Jehovah's Witness anymore. But to be fair, more credit should probably go to my studying the issues behind the Watchtower such as child sexual abuse (which ultimately convinced me of being wrong) rather than Biblical history itself... Still, it remains at least one of the reasons.

  How can girls guard against temptation in this sex-crazy world?

  If there is no male in the herd, she will go elsewhere looking for one and she is unsettled until she finds one and then is bred by him. . . . In this connection it is interesting to note that the male animal has no season at which he is not willing to engage in the breeding act.
  

  So women are cows who always want to get pregnant, and men are bulls who always want sex. No matter what.

  But maybe... just maybe... women don't always want to get pregnant, and men don't always want sex...?

  
  

  No?

  Lowers his head, his smile gone, and a tear drops from his left eye. He then whispers, "When I approach women... I don't always want sex. Sometimes I want to be a friend."

  Who has the authority to decern what the bible really teaches?

  by TTWSYF in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  so i ask because of all the books, mags and testimonies that the wts promotes.

  not only the wts, but many other christians attempt to speak about the bible with authority.

  how do we measure who is an authority if we don't know that much?.

  Scholars?

  Luckily, Geoffrey Jackson is supposedly a "scholar."

  Okay. I thought this was the source of the quote. I was obviously mistaken, though this quote still sounds familiar to me. I guess we'll have to wait for zeb to answer.

  darkspliver, I believe this quote is from the video recordings of the investigation. You can find the videos on Youtube, but I don't know on which day it was said, assuming that it was said, of course.

  Do they know what 7.5 billion dead bodies look like?

  by jambon1 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in their sick and twisted bubble that they live in, the jehovahs witnesses clearly have no idea about the logistical nightmare of disposing of 7.5 billion corpses.. when i heard an elder once say that it will be a joy to clear away the wicked from the earth, he actually had a smile on his face.. can they even begin to imagine what 7.5 billion dead men, women, children & babies looks like?.

  "let the eye feel no sorrow".

  sick bastards..
