Would you have married your spouse if you weren't both JWs?
by 3rdgen inok, i've had some wine, but i'm curious.
objectively speaking, but for the religion, did you have enough in common with your spouse to have met and married as non believers?

Back stabbing a spouse publicly never was something to engage in. -

After leaving what did you Major in?
by Luther bertrand ini am curious if my observations are correct.

Greg Stafford no longer a JW
by My Struggle inthis may be old news to some while most won't even know who he is.
in case you don't know him, he was a jw that defended many of the jw doctrine publicly.
he did this mainly in the form of two books, jw's defended and three dissertations on the teachings of jw's.

"Greg Stafford is pictured on page 2 of the March 2016 meeting work book."
That is NOT Greg!

The March JW broadcast, presented by paedophile enabler Geoffery Jackson
by jambon1 inall warm and fluffy this month after the utterly laughable 'bread' broadcast.
.
i'll always be grateful to the australian royal commission for allowing us to see this duplicitous, lying, creep, shown up as a snivelling, suck up, asshole, taken completely out of his self appointed authoritarian comfort zone.. anyway, a not too interesting broadcast i have to say..

"So now they want the sisters to make the bread???? Store bought isn't good enough??"
Not exactly NOW, as descriptions of how to bake the bread have been given for decades in the WT, so there is no use for four question marks as if this is something new. Store bought? I don't think I have ever come across a store that has passover bread. No doubt they have it in specialized stores, but my guess is they are rather scarce.

How did you feel when they eliminated the Con. Book Study?
by Freeandclear inyears ago when i was "in" i loved the book study.
it was my favorite meeting by far.
mainly because it was a small group.

I was and am sad about it. It was the nicest meeting, you got to know the others, you could ask questions, you had time to discuss things, very often there was food or cakes - I miss it. -

Haemaphilliac Doctor talks of JW neighbours cruelty
by Diogenesister ini got my fingers burnt last time i copied a post from reddit, but this one made me so mad i had to show you guys.
i think its possible that the witnesses antagonism was exaggerated in his child's mind, never-the-less any nastiness to a sick child is beyond the pale.
the hospital i trained in lost nearly every last one of its 500 haemaphilliacs to aids - i think around 30 survived from this era.http://www.modernluxury.com/san-francisco/story/when-doctors-need-doctors-after-dodging-death-sentence-looking-cure.

"Jehovah’s Witnesses who actually believed that people who get transfusions are going to hell. They ridiculed me on the bus, and they spat in our faces when we opened the front door."
Yeah, sure! Has all the ring of truthfullness to it.

1950 Watchtower Bound Volume now Complete!
by Atlantis inthe 1950 september 15th watchtower is now complete and this will finish the 1950 watchtower bound volume.
a big thank you to jaydee for all of his hard work of scanning the watchtowers into jpg files which i received and converted into pdf files and made them searchable.
jaydee worked day and night to get these files finished for us and i really appreciate his kindness... we only had to darken out one name on one shipping label.

OK.
After all the hard work - could you please show me, then, what changes you have found in the 1950 volume you have made when compared to the 1950 bound reprints and when compared to the DVD 1950 version.

I have a question.
by DATA-DOG inaccording to jwism, god didn't cause suffering, he just allowed it.
wow, that's really, really, dumb.
to help humans out, jeehoobidoob provided the ransom.

If trying to pose a question or start a discussion, I do feel one should avoid words as these in the first place,
"JWism", "that's really, really, dumb", "Jeehoobidoob", "Jehobo", ""old, fat, wrinkly, bald, crippled, "imperfect" J-dumbs", "bated breath", "Jarhoobity", "sisters they needed to boink", "Jeehoober"
It strongly gives the expression you are a child desperately eager to show how tough he is, how many "tough" words he can manage to use. Childish.

Peace and Security!
by biblexaminer inwatchtower teaches that soon there will be a huge development that will be a sign for jehovah's witnesses!
5:3 the watchtower magazine, principle journal of jehovah's witnesses, writes.... however, just before that day of jehovah begins, world leaders will be saying “peace and security!” this may refer to one event or to a series of events.

"Of course, " it will come out in the Watchtower" ...as so many have repeated for so very long.Yes, JW's await the GB to write something to them via the Watchtower magazine. They wait. And wait."
What is Your basis for saying so? Where have you found stated that the JW community is to wait for a written statement in the WT magazine to tell them that "NOW the GT has started"?
