  warning of a long boring post ahead.

  i feel like i need to vent my story out, as i feel quite helpless at the moment.. i'm 31 year old, married, father of toddler with another one on the way, due later this month.

  i've been serving as elder for about 4 years now in a south florida congregation.

  Thank goodness you never had to face the blood issue, now you can go to the ER without a document that will tie the doctors hands in helping you.

  Cart "Witnessing"

  by Funchback in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  besides being a waste of time for those doing it, and being an easy way for the society to inflate its reports of time spent in the ministry, cart witnessing is also taking up space.

  i live in a hot city in brazil.

  today, the jws decided to set up their cart in the shady spot of the bus stop, where people going to work have to wait for the bus.. ugh!.

  just take a few magazines, roll them up and hold onto them. If they approach you, you can tell them you need something for starter fluid in your fireplace, cause you heard they produce a "new" kind of light.

  hello forum.

  i started this topic because i had been thinking recently about a story that i had heard many times in different congregations over the years.

  kind of a jw urban legend if you will.

  I prayed one time to Jesus that he end the meeting soon, and it happened!

  this is a short video i made a few years ago to be the intro for some future jw parodies i had thought about making.

  i took a picture of russell and animated it and tamed him into being my new mascot.

  I took a polygraph a few years back for a job I applied for and they asked "Have you ever been to jail" and I know myself and I have not. Only one ticket and I had no reason to lie. They said I was being deceptive and I lost the chance for the job. Polygraphs I know personally are not worth the paper they are written on.

  slimboyfat joins the Mormons!

  2. experiences

  i know that some people on the board have experience of being mormons, so i would be interested in your feedback.

  at church this afternoon it was an uncanny experience.

  in the past i've read a lot about mormons, so i thought i was prepared in general for what it would be like.

  Go watch "Prophet,s Prey " on Showtime, and see how they are brainwashed also.

  My sense of humor is shown in this video as an example that the WT isn't the only group that demands submission.

  "Bible Teach" book study--is it real?

  by AmyWatson916 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jw's want to begin a study through their new "what does the bible really teach?

  " book.

  should a non-jw study with them just to point out the contradictions and muddled thinking in the book?

  How to wind up a JW

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  tell him that jesus probably didn't get married or it would have mentioned it in the bible, but at the same time we can't be 100% sure he didn't get married because it doesn't specifically say he didn't get married.

  stand back watch fireworks.. i thought it was a pretty reasonable thing to say.

  pop.

  Wasn't there a book that didn't get canonized named Book of Mary that hints Jesus was married? So those men who actually put the bible together, censored books they didn't agree with. The Governing Body of that time was sneaky also. Too bad they weren't able to make HD videos back then...

  First exchange in years about JW religion with my wife...

  by NVR2L8 in

  2. medical

  today my wife showed me the new medical directive and power of attorney form she got at the meeting.

  surprisingly she asked if i wanted to fill mine!

  i have been inactive for 6 years and i don't go close to any jw gatherings because i don't want friends who only care for me unless i share their beliefs.

  I always thought that a blood transfusion was not eating the blood but an organ transplant. The blood is recirculated into your veins and not consumed as you would if you were eating it.
