spouse said local congregation meeting they attended they were handing out jw.org pins and most of the brothers/ some sisters were wearing them during meeting.

speaker was wearing one.

lol.

I just got back from an international convention and man, people put the JW.ORG symbol and text on EVERYTHING. Pins, sunglasses, umbrellas, book bags, EVERYTHING. It's like someone went hog wild on Cafe Press. It's sickening. It's like that scene in Spaceballs when Yogurt shows off the merchandise booth he runs.

Watchtower Tells Us "Employers Seek JWs Only" Yet Most JW Employers Avoid Hiring JWs, Why?

by BucketShopBill in

here's a thought: we're told over and over how employers sing the praises of their jw employees, sometimes with a vague quote about how 'if we could only hire jws, we would as they are so honest'.

however, while some jw employers themselves may hire jw employees (usually cheap entry level positions), most don't.

in fact, many jw's in general who have businesses have a rule not to do work with jws, even those in their congregation.

I think it can go either way. I know some JW's who employed other JWs with no problems. I know some who have nothing but problems. I know some non-JW employers who don't hire JW's. I know of places that love to hire JW's. In my old congregation a medium sized business loved to hire JWs. Many worked there for years and I guess it worked out for everyone.

Fake letter to the BOE.

by karter in

jw
friends

i'm thinking of scaning a letter to the boe and useing the letter head to make some fake letters and sending them to alot of congros.. it would read something like this.. "dear brothers we are writing to inform you about all the child abuse casers the wts is now in court about and the ones we have quietly settled outside the courts".

ill name them all and give them links to the courts.. .

anyother idears??.

They don't get letters by snail mail anymore. It's all handled through the elder portal on the JW.org site. Not a very well thought out plan.

At Bethel a brother is not allowed to have a shaved head unless he is black and/or already going bald. It is considered 'extreme'

Local Needs 07/08/2014

by piztjw in

i don't know whether i should laugh, or run screaming into the night.. tonights "local needs" was titled "are you following 'the slave' "?.

the theme scripture was 1 peter 2: 21. it was applied that by following jesus steps closely we would then be able to keep up with 'the slave'.

now i don't know about others, but if i were to follow one person and that meant to keep up with someone else, it would mean that the person i was following was following the other person.

Also China's middle class is EXPLODING. It's a huge growth market for the tech industry.
