I got mine in the mail with a lovely card and a bunch of signatures on the outside of the envelope. When I ran into one of the ones who signed the envelope, I thanked her for the card and she said what card. That was in the same week the card was sent. OUCH!!!!!!!

Well... I got my 'invite'
by Jim_TX inas most know, it's that time of the year when the jws go out 'in force' and bang on doors trying to leave their litter-ature for the memorial - aka 'memorial invite'.. this morning (saturday), i was at the local coffee shop - which is normal for me.
my wife was at home chilling on the sofa, in her nightie.. i got a text message around 9:30-ish saying that jws had been at our house.. when i got home, my wife said she was sitting on the sofa when she heard a light 'tap tap' on the door.
we have a doorbell.

I don't know, that's like asking why from a child and seeing my brother crack his head open, living and dying at eleven(parents refused a blood transfusion) at a children's hospital, father an elder doing disgusting things to his kids and beating our mother up like stabbing a fork in her neck because his tea was too cold, trying to make sense of it all so I decide to come back into the religion forty yrs later and still can't put the pieces together until I came across this sight that answered it all. And now I have peace of mind. There's no way I could just move on and block what I had seen in my childhood or block all the damage society had done.
I look forward every week seeing Blondies comments, JW Facts, Cedars ect,,, I look forward to helping others who have similar experiences or them helping me.
I am glad you have moved on but forgive me if I come across stupid or harsh but with what you have accomplished, shouldn't you be a little kinder and try and help some one here who can't afford a therapist that might get the help that's needed from your words alone? Someone who didn't have it quite like you or know how to achieve the accomplishments you have done? There are some who don't even know where to begin with setting goals or moving on. This might be their jolt every morning to starting their day.
We share the same planet, why not the same sites? How else can we live with one another, helping others to cope without a fee attatched? Stay on board. This can only add to what you are learning and in return helping others.

Apparently angels are scared of dogs too. Quit picking on those poor angels.
One thing we were taught in dog training(shutzhund) was when a dog comes at you make a noise that its never heard like ahhhh really loud. Not the word no for they hear that all the time. It really does work.

We've always owned rotties. I have one now but I live out in the country. My dogs are never out unless we are outside with them. Unfortunately where we live, if a guy breaks into our home and our dogs attack him, the cops will put our dogs down even though we have signs in the windows that say beware of dog. Plus we would be the ones charged. I have been caught in my pj's while putting the dogs in their kennels when a jw crept up behind me and scared the shit out of me. If the dog would have been loose it might have been another story like this. The dog would only be doing its job.
I have also been out in service when it was written on the back of a territory card that the householder had a vicous dog but the idiot still got out of the car and got bitten on the back of the leg. He went to the hospital to get a shot but what was sad was it was an elderly widow who lived out in the country all alone with her protective dog. That dog was taken away from her for ten days put in quarantine.
I've also been out with some really lame brain witlesses over the years that really do believe they are protected by angels but in another breath will ask if I will go to the door because I own rotties. My reply is NO. I train my own dogs and know them but some of the most stupid comments I hear are unbelieveable. Put the stupid mags in the mailboxes. Even when I have no trespassing signs up, it doesn't stop the witlesses.
Bottom line: you see a sign, DON'T GO IN!

2013 District Convention Program: Gods Word is Truth!
by bats in the belfry in.
unlike god's word, that jws believe to be absolute truth, any one of their directives given at the 2013 district convention could be subject to misinterpretation.. .

I've asked this before but it is really important if someone can tape any talk stateing that anyone accuseing the society of condoning pedophilia are apostates. It would really be appreciated since we've been asked for this.

Could the JWs sway you back...?
by new22day inop based on mr. freeze's topic - could attending the meetings/studying again sway any of you back to the org.
hearing the propaganda over and over again is pretty powerful i'm sure.
(i'm a non-jw, non-christian (no offense), stubborn as a bull and even i had moments of pause based on some of the doctrine (lasted 30 seconds) but i never had family/friends at stake or a background in this.

It was told to us by the elder who was studying with us at the time. After he told us that what followed in the next sentence from his mouth was "but you didn't hear that from me". He said he could get into trouble telling us that one. And at the same time he looked like he was kind of embarrassed about it. Weird!

PO refuses to give me a "shepherding" visit ... wtf ???
by Calebs Airplane inso 2 weeks ago i received an email from the po... he wants to give my wife and i a shepherding call very soon... but get this... he mentioned that they had already made shepherding calls to the entire congo and we were the only ones left... i don't know whether i'm i supposed to feel loved or despised (by that completely irrelevant comment).
he's probably doing this to impress the co who is probably visiting soon.... my response to his email was basically: no problem... please feel free to stop by anytime... however, no need to come with a second person.
i would prefer a 1 on 1 meeting (not 2 on 1).

I have to laugh, hold on. Ok, I'm back. Whew! I am a female and I was stuck with an elder alone when it came to him asking me if I was making donations. His lecture lasted three hours at the kingdom hall. Second time he lectured me in the woodshed, his stupid wife was with him. When it came to mine and hubby's baptisim questions that they go over with you, which was three different times, each time I was alone with an elder. Another time when two elders came to our home because a brother ripped us off almost three thousand dollars, I was in a room with the one elder and hubby was in the living room with the other elder. That was our socalled shepherding which by the way they agreed we were ripped off but why not let ourselves be wronged. I hope you morons at the society are reading this for this is what really goes on. A bunch of pompous asses.
