  Notes I drafted for a local JW at a cart

  by Doug Mason in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  in recent weeks, a grizzled old man, obviously harmless, has been engaging with a nice lady as she regularly stands by her cart displaying watchtower material.. on monday, she eagerly wanted to know what this old man thought of the book she gave him, "what does the bible really teach?".

  when this old man posed some questions, she was very keen for him to write them down.. she also promised to provide facts that earthquakes proved we are living in the last days.. anyway, to make a short story longer, the old man drafted questions and observations on the topics that were covered.. would you please criticise the stuff that this old man has drafted for his next encounter.

  any help, anything at all, is most keenly looked for.

  Wow, that is a lot of information to share. She will start counting you as a bible study right there on the street corner. I've been on vacation for the past week, went to New Orleans. I had my first and only encounter with cart people there. It was two women, as I approached, they were all smiles. I then asked them if they had ever heard of the Australian Royal Commision. They shook their heads no. I told them a little about it and said they should go home and Google the ARC and jehovahs witnesses. I told them about the two witness rule, and how pedophiles get protected because police are never called. I told them their policies are disgusting. No comments from them, just deer in headlights look. I was a little nervous, next time I may try pale emperors suggestions.

  How Long Before They Introduce Tithing?

  by pale.emperor in

  when i was a full-on believing jw i had an obsessive fascination with mormonism.

  i read, studied and watched their propaganda with strange interest as well as their apostate mormon books.

  i have to say, they have a good scam going claiming that "the lord reintroduced tithing" in the modern age.

  When I attended a church, we put our donations in envelopes with our name on it, and they provided an end of year statement to give to our tax preparer.

  WT Recruiting JW Solicitors (Lawyers)

  by AverageJoe1 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we all know how much the watchtower abhors "higher education" and that apparently jehovah thinks it is a big waste of time.

  at least that is their official stance.

  it might come as a shock to you that this month they have started a campaign drive to actually recruit jws who have higher education, specifically those who have legal training.. with all the law suits against them for creating an environment that is friendly to paedophiles, it is thus no wonder that they are in need of solicitors, especially those who are sympathetic towards the cult.. talk about hypocrisy!.

  They are such hypocrites wanting to use those with higher education, and condemning higher education. I have news for them, the "good news" doesn't need defending, but pedofiles and those who cover it up do.

  What would you do or say?

  by Butyoucanneverleave in

  a brother who is not baptized ( so there's still hope for him ) had a sister recently run into him at a store.

  show wanted to know if he's going to the kingdom hall.

  she asked him to write a letter for her to give to his mother ( who's deceased) in the paradise explaining why he didn't make it.

  What immodest clothing have you got in trouble for wearing?

  by Addison0998 in

  i personally have a very distinct sense of style and fashion which many of the fellow jdubs frown upon.

  recently, i was told by a few specially self righteous ones that i looked like a prostitute in a pair of white boots!

  a pair of 3 inch heeled, just a little taller than the ankle boots, with skirt that came down to my knees and a black long sleeve shirt that came up to my collarbone.

  I was counseled for looking "too old" for my age. I was 14, the brothers said I looked 18 to 20 years old. They talked to my dad, an elder. He said that he knew that I was well groomed, bathed frequently, used lotions, etc. They told him that maybe I shouldn't do that. The real problem was that I turned them on and they couldn't do anything about it. What a bunch of self righteous assholes!

  What I wish I had known at 18

  by NewYork44M in

  the financial times had an article with the above question.

  the author asked various people to answer the question.. https://www.ft.com/content/169705e4-b4dd-11e8-b3ef-799c8613f4a1.

  while i was not interviewed, if i was asked this question i would say that i wish i had known in 1975, when i was 18, that i was raised in a cult and that the continued focus on armageddon over my lifetime was a cruel joke.

  If I knew at 18 what I know now, I would have joined the armed forces on my birthday, served my time, and gone to college on th GI bill to become a teacher. If I had done this, I would already be retired, with a nice pension. But, still have to work a few more years.

  J.W.`s and Paradise and the Reality of it.

  by smiddy3 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when god created adam and eve and put them in the garden of eden it was then up to them to cultivate and take care of it ,god had no further hand in it .the responsibility rested with adam/eve and their offspring.. the same would be true in the paradise to come ,god gets rid of all of us wicked people ,but then it is up to j.w.~s who are left on this earth to restore such a paradise.?

  without god`s intervention.. think of it , this system is gone with all its infrastructure.. 8 million + j.w.`s scattered throughout the earth with.

  no communication systems operating .

  Simon, I want to thank you so much for your work on keeping this forum going, we all appreciate it very much. However, as I understand it, you live in Canada? You have national health care, and now legal marijuana. I think voting democratic is the way to get those 2 things here in the good old USA.
