by DATA-DOG inah, st.particks day!!
with the exception of halloween, could there be a more evil celebration of this planet??.
well, get your morning cup of coffee, irish if you prefer, and let d-dog enthrall you with a tale so scandalous, so full of debachery, so incredible perverse, that it should be called, "50 shades of kray!".

Inactive Witness Preaches To Me Today
by pale.emperor ina rather bizzare situation, this morning.
i was taking my daughter to the park, as i walk past a row of shops a car horn beeps and shouts me.
i turn round and see a car in a disabled parking space with a guy who used to go to my hall smiling and waving to me.

Most bizarre. He's committing a DFing offense right there and still preaching to me?
Chances are he's a republican too.
Jokes aside, I have encountered a few ex-JWs, not just fairly recent inactive ones, who have done similar things. The JWs is a cult that negatively influence people, and the degree of that influence varies.
To put it in Christian terms, count your blessings. To put it in secular terms, some of us have many reasons to be very grateful by leaving and maintaining clarity. -

JW.Org claims they have fullfilled Jesus command to preach in all the inhabited earth.Have they really done that ? I dont think so.
by smiddy inapart from the fact that they have mainly followed in the footsteps of christendom before them what virgin territories have they ever gone to that christendom before them has not gone to .
i would think none.. how many lands ,countrys ,are their that they have never made any significant inroads into ?.
we are not talking about token service in any of these countrys in major cities , but a real door to door witness to every individual householder that gets it every few months as in western lands.. some that i can think of : north korea ,mainland china , bangladesh ,india , pakistan , jordan , israel , iran , syria ,burma ( sorry cant think of the new name ).

I don't think so either. Even if they have accomplished that geographically, as time passes, they have newer generations that may need preaching. Their premise in that respect has never made sense.

I don't think that the way finallysomepride is handling this thread is ok, but I do share some of the same sentiment. However, there's always good 'ol fashion, "YOU DON'T NEED TO REPLY, MOVE ON".

The Watchtower are Right About Blood...
by cofty in... but, they fail to take note of one important detail.. i believe that if we are going to have any chance of reasoning with a jw about blood, this is the place we need to begin.. don't try to convince them that it was only a dietary law.
it wasn't, and they will never go along with it.. don't tell them that saving a life is more important than obeying a law, even a seemingly trivial one.
they take pride in obedience.

Memorial Non-Attendance: The Single Most Impactful TTATT Witness to JW Friends & Family
by AMNESIANO in(original version posted 2014).
notice: the following is submitted in full recognition of and with compassion and due respect for those who, due to personal circumstance, feel they are unable to employ this powerful strategy.. ---.
anyone who has awakened to ttatt and has conscientiously left the organization--especially a once-prominent, highly-regarded, studious true-believer from a celebrated multi-generational tribe of jws-- after decades of devout, high-profile "serve-us," who continues to put in an annual appearance at the memorial thoroughly subverts and undermines, by this one act, any hope s/he may entertain that his/her departure will stir family or former friends to question the whole watchtower bamboozle.

AMNESIANO, great post. I can't remember the year of my last super, I mean, the last memorial I attended, but it's been quite a few decades. I do remember that not attending was the first time when my family had no choice but to admit that I was serious about not being a JW.

That means theists created atheists.
That is 100% true. My JW parents made me.
