speaking of idols...As mubarak was leaving egypt, he asked the driver what was the name of the statue the muslims were dancing around. The driver looked back and asked why. Mubarak replied, "Oh just idol curiosity..."

Gas Pump "Witnessing"....Is this a thing?

by Bob Loblaw in

i've seen this twice now within a month.

a car group hanging out at a gas station.

one of the cult members jumps outs of their car and runs up to a "worldly" gas pumper, arm stretched out, tract in hand, and here comes the juvenile at best question.

What,s funny is I complained to my JW friend about solicitors coming to my door and trying to sell stuff or get money for school functions and he agrees with me about the same thing, yet he can't see the same about what he does as annoying

l was wondering if others get the feeling that the world we live in seems not quite right.l can not pin point anything specific but since childhood days l often get the feeling something isn;t correct.you know the feeling of deja vu.

am l the only one to feel this way?ld love to hear from others and any storys they may have.having been raised in the jdubs maybe lm just suffering mild bouts of paranoia .

Maybe it could be too many warnings of doom from all sides. This one is from Glenn Beck and could actually happen now or tonight or in the morning or the next day....

Watchtower stock market investments

by stirred but not shaken in

i recently installed youtube on my ipad, as i was prompted to view some videos of a non jw source.

it was more for entertainment.

eventually jw related videos showed up and i viewed some and found them interesting.

How many here (believers) believe in the Hell fire doctrine and why??

by jam in

jw
friends

it's obvious the bible is very clear on a actual hell of fire.

"cursed into the eternal fire with the devil and his angels", rev.20:15.

"lake of fire", rev.21:8 "fire and brimstone".

If Luke 16:23 is true, i imagine replacing the word "rich man" with the name Charles T Russell would bring this story to life...

by juandefiero in

yes - awake!

"in former times thousands of youths died for putting god first.

Those magazines are "old" light and shouldn't be taken literally. Only material that is on jw.org should be considered current... It is a shame though, that these kids put their life up for what is likely to become "old" light. M 15:17

A JW experience

by Saintbertholdt in

this is a quick experience i have recently had and i have two questions at the end.. a couple of weeks ago, the dogs were barking at the gate on saturday morning and wouldn't you know it, it was some witnesses.

there was a father with his lovely wife and their young daughter.

the father did all the talking as mother and daughter just dutifully smiled and watched.

I heard last year some time, that the preaching work was going to end soon, so just waiting. Actually that might help them in reverse , some on the side lines would come back thinking the end had come already(invisibly) and it would be all over the news being such a huge change...
