  Don't ever....ever...EVER forget these came from the FDS and Governing Body

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  we do well to bear in mind that among the drugs, serums, vaccines, surgical operations, etc., of the medical profession, there is nothing of value save an occasional surgical proceedure.

  their so-called "science" grew out of egyptian black magic and has not lost its demonological character.... we shall be in a sad plight when we place the welfare of the race in their hands.

  [1] 1. the golden age, aug. 5, 1931, p. 727.. the journal of the a. m. a. is the vilest sheet that passes the united states mail.... nothing new and useful in theraputics escapes its unqualified condemnation.

  There's articles from the 60's I think that state getting an organ transplant can give you the personality of the donor.

  That article mentions that what is essentially the factory complex has been sold. Did they sell off the Columbia Heights properties too?

  JWs and E-Cigs

  by TheClarinetist in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the other night, two of my jw coworkers were sitting out enjoying an e-cig with one of my other coworkers.

  i knew from earlier that there was tobacco (well, nicotine) in it.

  out of curiousity, i did some minor digging with my worldlytm coworkers and am pretty darn sure that these guys aren't doing anything else questionable... are active jws allowed to smoke e-cigs now, or did i just witness some extremely minor teenage rebellion?.

  i have been encouraging my mom to cook with coconut oil, it does help with her dementia symptoms sometimes.

  it is just not safe for people with dementia to use knives for cooking, thats why i need some recipe ideas.

  thank you!.

  Is dating a good reason to get baptized?

  by free2Bme13 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there was an 16 year-old-girl in our old hall who was convinced by an ms that she needed to get baptized in order to be a more eligible, desirable and qualified potential marriage mate.

  i should also add that this brother was interested in her even though he was 15 years her senior.

  it got me wondering how many others have done this.

  Do you think "Blondie" is addicted to reading Watchtowers and Awakes?

  by booker-t in

  2. friends

  i remember when i was a "devout" jws i could not wait to get the new watchtowers and awakes from the wednesday nite theocratic ministry school.

  i would actually salivate thinking of the new information jehovah had in the magazines for us.

  i was "franatical" and i would go home still in my three piece suit and devour the magazines that very nite.

  Yeah I have a hard time not bursting into laughter at the meetings when letters are read which are essentially the WT asking for more money. Fuck you guys. All this stuff was built and renovated with donations and free labor. Now you're flipping it for multiple times what you put into it.

  And as others have said, I guess Armageddon isn't coming until at least 2017 :)

  How do the Dubbies Handle No Soliciting Signs Now?

  by laverite in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i get too many callers in my neighborhood, and i need to invest in a no soliciting sign for the front door.

  i do not appreciate uninvited callers, unless they are there to tell me there's an immediate need to evacuate.

  i absolutely won't buy anything at the door.

  So here's the deal, in the USA, Jehovah's Witnesses aren't soliciting. There's legal precedent to this. If you put up a No Soliciting sign, some might still go to your door, and I suppose legally they're ok.

  On the other hand, put up a No Tresspassing sign. That covers your bases. If they went to your door, you could legally call police and have them arrested for tresspassing. I think the majority of Witnesses now heed those signs. As someone above mentioned, the Society's policy is that they're on their own.

  There's a realllly old booklet that's pretty neat actually. It contains tons of info on legal rulings and rights JW's have. The idea is that if you were out in service and took shit from the cops or something you could show that to them. It's out of print now at least in the US since it's not a huge problem anymore.

  now gays can have the joy of divorce, alimony and child support in all the states that allow such joy!!!

  enjoy, you deserve the right to these things and selfish straight people have been holding on to such wonderful rights for far too long.

  now get those lawyers ready, let the real battles rage and see what comes from all those marriages you fought to hard and strong for.

  So, ?evrything, if this is not the post for it, why did you post it?
  
  You can't say, "I don't think we should talk about x, but I'm going to anyway' and get all pissy when you get called on it.

  Glander: How will people be 'put on the spot.' You are right on one thing: The other things that will logically follow such as property rights, inheritances, and other things afforded hetero couples will also be addressed. This is a good thing.

  Governing Body Feels Child Molester Should Not Be Condemed But Leaving The Corporations Teaching Merrits Eternal Condemnation

  by frankiespeakin in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  according to the latest talk given by gerrit loesch jehovah's witnesses who become child molesters should not be condemned as they can repent and be shown mercy, and according to letters to bodies of elders may after sufficiant time hold positions of trust inside the congregation thus putting unsuspecting members and householder at risk.

  while at the same time the governing body feels that anyone who is a jw who latter on disagrees with current corporations teachings is not to be shown mercy and must be disfellowshipped with out fail, along with being eternally damed, and must be avoided at all cost by fellow jws even family members.. this dfing action of those who leave is enforced by threats of disfelloshipping members who disreguard the wt's disfellowshipping action and are found socializing with them.. do you find that highly inconsistent?.

  I'd like to point out that the person who said this claimed to have a recording. In his last post he said that he did record most of the connvention but somehow this talk was erased. I don't want to accuse him of lying but the facts are what they are.
