You know why they can never get those report things right? If I can't make a bible study, I sure can make one up. I even record the time and study I spent with my friends arguing AGAINST the Bible and God, afterall, it was talk about Bible, and I was very regular about it! A Bible joke said regularly with a colleague is a study! If I make a goal of 100hours, 30rvs, 10bs I'd always make them, or do you know how much preaching I do in my sleep?!

Report 2012. How many "real" Biblestudies are they in Jehovah's Witnesses??
by Dold Agenda inbiblestudies in the report, is the numbers they show us correct?.
i've been thinking of this, and as i am from sweden i use my own country as an example.. to notice is that sweden is high penetrated of internet.
the young ones here is often really good in english.. and i suppose that hardly one third of the jw kids finaly get baptised.. at most positive.. .

20 JWs died in a bus accident enroute to the convention recently here in Nigeria. Yes, Jehovah's hand was definitely seen in it- they were already running late for the convention. So Big Jay says, "You guys are going to my place late right? I'm gonna show ya what it means to be late." Now they are all late! LOL And they(WTS) were even late about the air crash stuff anyways, because another church here in Nigeria already used that pitch with one of its members, and they got a mighty shoutdown for it. Also, a married man that was supposed to be on board survived because he went to an hotel room instead with a lover, he did see Jah's hand in it, because he went for Thanksgiving afterwards. Wrong man, if you want to thank Jehovah, you go to the bloody Kindumb Hell, not a church!

Hey, c'mon guys, Naija guy in the house! Yes, you could play them on with a new e-mail, and waste their time ( although , most of them virtually live thier lives around their computers). You could also report to our EFCC (Economic and Financial Crimes Commission) online. In fact, you should definitely report it. A caveat though, not all emails with the Nigerian heading are actually from Nigerian scammers, other people just use the theme because of our well-touted corrupt practises. Funnily, most Nigerian scammers now evoke other countries to avoid detection by those wary of Nigerians. Truth is, if you can dare, Naija is one place to make a very very quick large buck of Government money, risk is high tho'! Ironically, Nigerians can be good business strategists, but the bad name taints them. I'd recommend dealing with one, but thru your country's embassy in Nigeria where they can verify information for you. And one thing, it's worst enough dealing with a Nigerian or a Jdub, NEVER deal with a Nigerian Jdub!!! ll

When You Were Sitting During The Meetings What Were You Really Thinkng About?
by minimus ini used to listen to all the stupid comments and wonder if i could sneak out of there and scram!
even after i resigned as an elder, i went for a while and eventually began missing more and more meetings.
but while i was there, i'd listen to comments, chuckle to myself how dumb it all was and then go home with the knowledge that my days were numbered there..

I write poems at the meetings. And if I get to publish them, I think I'm gonna call them "Dumb Poems from the Kingdom Hall"! Before I got DFed, if I don't sleep off, I'd start writing all the grammatical blunders of the public talk speaker, or I simply just count the old and even verses in the Bible. For pranks, I'd make sarcastic comments at the Watchtower study (which everyone would consider deep or thought-provoking, lol), or I'd cook up some experience from some 1940's literature (which nobody had access to), or some very unscientific quotes from the Awake, and everyone marvels at my 'vast knowledge'. On matchday Sundays, I always check Soccernet more than the Bible, and then text messages like "My team (Manchester Utd) is trashing your team Arsenal, scores now 8:2" to other MS's in the meeting. I even once sent one such signal to the guy giving the talk and he started stutterring, we had a good laugh afterwards! I also engage in a lot of side-comments, and so the ladies (ok, sisters) loooove to sit beside me. The elders always query me for this, and I always tell them I have ADD (true, I can't pay attention to hogwash for long!), well the males always disliked me for this, but I guess they just jealous.
But my, meetings can be so boring, I always wake up sick on Sundays!

Critiquing Jesus' Words

Well-articulated and witty, a very logical, concise write! Imagine when they claimed someone was brought to Jesus deformed from the womb and to avoid a dicey situation about "whose sins?", said it was for his glory, and God's and then he heal him. Well, Jesus, how about the millions of physically and metally deformed others that you didn't heal, whose sins was theirs, or whose glory were they meant for? Maybe, for the glory of the Paralympics! LOL

When you were a jw-new light & the doors?
by carla inwhen you were a jw and lets say a topic at the door came up and you went into great detail explaining something only to have 'new light' come out shortly aftwards, did you feel any obligation to go back to the door and explain that you have a 'new understanding' or were in error?.
today we know that there will be new light re: the fds being only the gb and not the anointed.
new light from above!

That's the major reason I started fading. I told my parents, "If something were the truth, it's not gonna change with time. It will always stand the test of time!" Why should I go and tell an householder of the 'unchanging truth' of God's Word when I knew it could change. Those WTS guys are bunch of liars and propagandists, they merely toy on people's selective amnesia! New light my feet! And yet, if you ask them why Science is not as reliable as God, they'd tell you that science, philosophy, human laws always change to accommodate the current understandings, knowledge and trends, and thus could not be relied upon, as something touted as innovative now would be obsolete in a short while, the damned hypocrites! At least, Science mans up to admit its failings: "Yeah, we were wrong, improvement in tech allows us to view things in a new light", would the WTS ever admit they were wrong? No! Bloody spin doctors!

Lady Gaga and an Ex JW
by Christ Alone inlast night i watched a show that, i thought, really shows the attitude of jws towards the rest of the world.
it was extremely enlightening and i hope it opened alot of peoples eyes that think jws are just nice christian people, but are not a cult.
it was a show on "e" that is called "opening act".

Similar story here too. I'm a very talented writer, but did not pursue my dreams because my parents would love me being a Bethelite, and were afraid that stardom would make me leave Jehovah. Well, I didn't make the Bethel cut, and stardom didn't make me leave Jehovah, I got DFed for brazen conduct. Come to think of it, maybe he left me so stardom can find it! Well, my own mum somewhat sombered up and is helping me get my writing career back on track, but sometimes it seem too little too late. But one thing I am sure of, when I do publish, she's definitely gonna be there! Can't say same about my Pa tho'- ex-Bethelite, AHC member, coordinator, blah blah blah... He wept more than my Mum when I got DFed, but the more was because he was also weeping for his status and she was weeping out of pure concern!
Wrote this on my Facebook wall one Sunday while listening to Whitney Houston:
Today I visited my word-wells;
Words to express,
That which in my heart swells,
Tearing my one and every cells!
So I sought my pen,
But my eggs laid my hen;
Yet I must suppress
Every now and then!
What is this thing?
This fellowship of the King;
It would depress-
Solace from the dead girl of Houston!
For I have the "Greatest Love of All", (this song aptly describes me)
And my Facebook wall,
For me to express
Myself, when I fall!
