  was just talking to a jw who just got back from oklahoma doing relief work for jws who had their homes damaged.

  i didn't know this, but he said that the process goes like this.

  the homeowner usually has a payout from the insurance company in hand.

  What ever happened to, "If you receive free, then give free." I believe these were Jesus words.

  Who has had their District Convention seats stolen by other Witnesses?

  by ÁrbolesdeArabia in

  over the years i have had to deal with this problem personally and as a attendant covering my section at various convention centers.

  i had people who were suppose to be decent jehovah witnesses pick up all the books, bags and coolers belonging to brothers and sisters who arrived at the appropriate time and picked them up and dumped them all at the end of the seating row.

  so here is what goes down, the sister runs up to me panicking and saying "dear brother, i had all those seats reserved for my family and now look!

  My seats were never moved at a DC but an asshole sister moved my seat at the KH, so here friend could sit behind her. I really didn't care about the seat. What pissed me off was she didn't even ask me if it was OK. This brings to mind an event that happened at one of last circuit ASSemblies I attended. I was walking out to the car with a pioneer brother and he as asked me why I lock my car. Everyone here is a brother. I told him just because someone claims to be a JW doesn't mean you can trust them. At lunch time he was upset. He went out to his car to get something and his cell phone was stolen. I silently laughed. I wonder if he got the point as to why I lock my car.

  I wonder if what the WTBTS is doing with the DPA scams is a violation of HIPPA laws. What are they doing to keep your information secure. Keep in mind the HIPPA law is over 17,000 pages.

  JW's are refrigerator magnets.......

  by Lied2NoMore in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  wt has deified the a/c outlet as "god".

  the cord carrying power from the outlet to the refrigerator is the "gb" .

  the inner workings that make the freezer and cooler, well...."cold" are the legal dept, writing dept, and to save ink, the wt "bureaucracy" that stores and dispenses "food at the proper time".... and the body of the refridgerator which insulates and embodies all the contents of said refigerator is the "organization".... loyal jw's simply need to "stick" themselves somewhere on the refrigerator, or "organization" wherever there is room, and salvation is assured.. so its a large refrigerator, because some 7 million have affixed themselves to the "organization" or "cooler of salvation"........ but as you look on the floor, several have fallen off, and more have been peeled off by wt df / shunning policy.. so watch your step, someone may get trampled!.

  The GB is NOT the cord. They are the freezer. The GB is cold in their teachings and towards their victims.

  2. scandals

  thought this was a clever little ruse.. it's on page 11 of the instructions booklet.. .

  the refund function is used to reverse a credit card transaction after it has been settled.. the refund function has been disabled.

  any donor whose debit or credit transaction.

  I think everyone should go and do a credit donation and then do a charge back.

  it all seems so playful and cutsie wootsie to an insider i suppose, i am seeing posts all over facebook about how this is just what my kid needs.. this is truly proper food at the proper time blah blah blah blomit blomit vomit vomit... the funniest part is however is that it cuts out at the end by saying "let's practice what you are going to say".. .

  why not make the video longer and discuss how you can get an idea for a 6 year old on how to talk to a grown person about how they are going to die unless you study the bible with me..

  Maybe we should all go to the assemblies and if we see a parent abuse there child call 911 right there at the stadium. If the police would get enough call I wonder, how would that make Jehovah look?

  Born in 'The Truth' I always believed they were the only true religion. I believed if I disobeyed Jehovah, I would be destroyed at armageddon. These teachings were deeply in grained in me.

  When I was 27 I was disfellowshipped. Quite honestly this scared the hell out of me, knowing I would die at armageddon. After 15 years, I finally got reenstated. About a year after I was reenstated I went to the elders for help with a problem. Within two weeks I was disfellowshipped again. This made me question how such a policy could of complete abandonment helped?

  After the JC told me I was going to be DF that night I went to visit a close friend who I grew up with at my old KH. He had me read Crisis of Conscious. The information in that book blew my mind. I was forced to listen to lies by my parents for 40 years.

  So to answer your question, at one time:

  I thought, I knew why people die.

  I thought, I knew what happens at death.

  I thought, I knew the prospect of humanity.

  I thought, I knew the Bible.

  Today I know I was lied to. This infuriates me.

  Today, I don't know why people die, what happens at death, the prospect of humanity, or even the bible. In fact, I even question whether this is even a god.
