an ex-jw friend called last night wanting as many jw jokes as he could get.
i only know the one about the difference between a vw full of jws and a porcupine: with the porcupine, the pricks are on the outside.. he liked it, of course, but he needs more.
i think maybe he's giving a speech somewhere about jws, and that would be in keeping with his life's mission.
What do you call a dead bethelite in a coffin?
Jack in the box
A pub, pioneer, & bethelite are having a beer at the pub. A fly lands in each beer, the pub orders a new beer, the pioneer picks the fly out of his beer and continues drinking, & the bethelite tells the fly as he picks it up," Spit it out."
as you can tell, i am another newbie, so i thought i would introduce myself.
i have been quietly reading the posts for some time now and thought it time to join in.. i am a 53 year old grandpa (neither daughter or their husbands are jw) married to jw woman with three kids, ages 15, 16, 17. therein lies the source of my discourgement and subsequent disassociation from the jws.
i outlined my involvement with the jws in my profile, if any are interested.
Welcome to the board!
I'd post the same message at all entrance doors to the house. And then put 2 coats of clear epoxy on top.
Your wife is just doing what they've programmed her to do. A cult is a cult.
jehovahs witnesses are under a grand and multi-faceted illusion that has been fabricated and is being maintained by the society.
one such facet of that great illusion is that jws are actually proclaiming gods kingdom and teaching people the truth about god and jesus.
it was only a few years ago (hey, im not the brightest candle on the cake!
christian longo was profiled tonite on america"s most wanted for murder of his 3 kids & wife.
he was from detroit, michigan, moved to ohio then last in oregon.
he had been booted out of jw.
Christian Longo was profiled tonite on America"s Most Wanted for Murder of his 3 kids & wife. He was from Detroit, Michigan, moved to Ohio then last in Oregon. He had been booted out of JW. He may be in Cancun, Mexico. He's 27 and diabetic.
as the unfortunate school-age children of jws worldwide, or at least in christendom, face up to two of what must certainly be the most dreaded days of the school year -- today and monday, i don't think it would be remiss to do pay them tribute -- the honor of a brief recognition of some sort, say by the raising of a glass, a prayer, a couple moments' reflection, whatever.. i refer to all those of the trembling knees, quivering lips, moistened eyes and hollow feelings in the pits of their little tummies as they loyally face up to the humiliation of standing aside from the masses of christmas celebrants among their school friends.
how they must agonize over dealing with the incessant questions of their mates about ``what are you going to do this christmas," ``what did santa bring you?
'' -- not to mention listening to the spirited banter of their school friends recounting how much fun they had and what they found under tree christmas morning, etc.
Another social retard here.
In 7th English had to write thank you letters for xmas gifts in class. Lucky for me,I had 1 thankyou to write - to my grandfather who lived about 5 miles from me.He sent me some $.I saw him only 2 times in my life. Why you may ask, cause he was going to die in this Great War coming upon mankind.And we didn't want to die too. What a screwy religious cult.
The more emotional pain one goes through - and you survive - the stronger one becomes.

"his doubts" , "self-doubts"
Good thing A.H. Macmillin died when he did. He'd be booted out today for his doubts.
12-20-01. governing body.
watchtower bible and tract society.
25 columbia heights.
"and make the governing body look like a "senseless people""
Read their old predictions, they never did have any sense.
They need a 2/3 vote to change? How can that happen when its been said over 1/3 of them are on "Depends"?
confused.
was in the middle of sending out some last minute "seasons greetings," cards.
any way, he spoke of the events of the last year, how they were significant, about the brothers going to the trade center and offering comfort from the scriptures, while priests and ministers only offered water and towels, and about the change in subscription arrangement.
"priests and ministers only offered water and towels"
Seems like they're getting jealous and judgemental. JW's always have to insinuate their better, just like them Pharisee's.
Matt:10:42 "And whoever gives one of these little ones only a cup of cold water... will by no means lose his reward"
...( I learned that from WT.)
my call of duty.
so this is xmas.
back in my jw days i would answer, i bought and distributed many books and magazines to worldly people who needed conversion.
nice post - victor
Reminds me of years gone by, the paint crew at 117 adams st. singing xmas carols in the stairways while painting.
i recently listened to brian tracy's (a peak performance speaker)latest cassette tapes "the power of clarity" and enjoyed it.. if you've never heard him, most people would learn something from it.if you've listened to his tapes before, this is over 50% redundant.. i agree with all he says, except for one minor point, he says the market cannot be timed.i read somewhere that the pros can time the market.. if your interested: www.nightingale.com
