dear friends,.
the 2018 super bowl is an event that will attract the attention of millions of people, and will draw guests from around the world.
it is being held in minneapolis, minnesota this february 4th.
Maybe they should display on their carts how they discourage competitive sports in there literature and frown on people who excel in their sport as it promotes putting individuals on a pedestal ,idol worship ,and takes away from glory and worship that should be given to Jehovah ,in their eyes.
Completely ignoring the Christian Greek Scriptures that Jesus is the name that is given above every other name and to be worshiped .Php 2:10

You have to be kidding me ,is this for real ? The way the WT organization spin this ,is that the cart witnessing is a phenomenal success ,placing much literature ,starting many Bible studies and bringing hordes into the religion before the end comes.
The reality judging by what has been demonstrated on this board since they started cart witnessing is nothing like what the GB would have you believe.
Nobody takes any notice of them ,Oh ,except maybe an ex JW who might try to engage them in a discussion which more than likely they don`t want to do except point you to JW.Org for any questions you may have ?
They have to be a joke right ? an embarrassing joke at that.

Happy birthday Cimarrona for your 25th from down under and may their be many more celebrations free from the cult
crazy kim again....could happen?
thoughts?.
Any person who thinks NK will attack the USA or her Allies with missiles or nuclear weapons is just not thinking.
He just wants the world to take notice of him and his country,not to be pulverized into oblivion .
so yesterday a family friend who was never age overs witness give me a phone call.
he says that he is quite upset with me and wants to give me a chance to explain why i'm treating my father so portly.
mind you i have not seen my father or mother in about 3 years and they refused to talk to me except for the occaisional crazy letter that my mother will send.. anyway my the family friend stated that he spoke to my mother and brother and they both told him that because i choose to leave the religion and in turn separate myself from the family it has caused my 80 something year old father a tremendous amount of stress and she is becoming sick and they're not sure how much longer he will be with us.. shoot felipe nothing they say really bothers me much anymore but the fact that i'm being accused of slowly killing my father because i've decided to make a decision that's better from my own family is actually quite frustrating to me.. give you hours after having of the conversation with our family friend i get a call from my older brother who then begins to be raped me and tells me that i should accept responsibility for the fact that i am the cause of our ejean father's poor health and that leaving jehovah causes problems not only for me but for those who love me.
They want to blame you for the actions they have taken to shun you? That`s just crazy. Typical JW blame everybody else but themselves for the situation there in.
I like JaniceA`s suggestion see how that goes maybe with the added words" you left me I didn`t leave you".
i awoke in the middle of the night to banging on my door.
i went to the door half asleep and asked who was there.
i heard “police.” my dog was going crazy, so i slipped outside to talk to them.
That would have been a frightening/weird experience JRK ,you wouldn`t want that to happen too often
the other day on this site, a lot of topics about the org.
and sexual abuse...now when i come on this site...crickets... what happened ?
it seems everyone is being exposed except the org...oh yes it's mentioned here and there but then it fades away...many celebrities are being exposed....& gov't officials and even our president, but not the org...ummmm.... thoughts ?.
I think it gets covered pretty well .Every time a new case appears in the "news" anywhere in the world it seems to end up here.
However you cant keep thrashing the same story over and over again where we have no control over what happens to the perpetrator or the victim.
As for the comment it's "mild" compared to the world.,I think its a lot worse when you take into account the numbers of JW`s in the world and the amount of child sex abuse cases that have been reported around the world.
Just my 2 cents worth.
i ask this question out of interest, because as a jehovahs witness for some 26 years, i have always felt that there is an 'all work, no play' culture within the organisation.
the organisation doesn't promote social gatherings.
i could count on one hand each year how many get togethers we have had.
We had lots of social gatherings ,picnics playing sports ,camping and dining out for meals especially after the Sunday meetings.
Also attending meals with a group of us that consisted of going to one another`s place for each of the courses.
Their was never any shortage of booze either.
This was all in contrast to the first couple of congregations in my initial 10 years with JW`s which were lifeless by comparison.
first post here and looking for advice and help.
sorry in advance for it being so long :(.
i'm a happily married woman (no kids) who is a non-jw, presbyterian to be precise.
Welcome Spacegirl ,just make sure you lay the law down fast and hard ,otherwise he will do the bidding of the WT corporation/cult and your life will become hell.Give them an inch and they will take a mile.
By the way I`m a male not a female .All good advice from above.
Take care.
