Yea, it would be accurate to add em, but good luck keeping em in there. Everytime you put JWs in bad light (even if true) on a wiki page, it mysteriously, and quickly, gets revised.
They're Scientologists Light when it comes to that stuff
there is discussion of doomsday cults at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/doomsday_cult, and much of it aligns closely with watchtower predictions and behaviour, so i was wondering why jehovah's witnesses are not mentioned.
here are some quotes from the article:.
doomsday cult is an expression used to describe groups who believe in apocalypticism and millenarianism, and can refer both to groups that prophesy catastrophe and destruction, and to those that attempt to bring it about.

my kids were good yesterday, so i promised them that i would get them dunking donuts in the morning on the way to dropping them off to school...... on the highway, there is a gas station convenience store with a corner dunkin donuts.............. they usually have everything there.. well my kids could not have their donuts, or muffins, or croissants............... they were not delivered i guess.. so, i left.. i went to another dunkin donuts 3 miles away............. and the same problem.. the other dunkin donuts was a dedicated dunkin only place!!!.
there's no baking in the place anymore!!!!.
what are we coming to!.
Dunkin Donuts are baked, Krispy Kreme fried. And if you're from the South, the KK is dounut of choice (except for local shops that make similar styles)
I can tell people who weren't raised on KKs... they actually call the donut Krispy Kremes. Their trademark donut is the 'glazed'. If you go into a store and order, you say, "Gimme a dozen glazed and a dozen mixed" (mixed being the chocolate covered, creme filled, sprinkled whatever).
The glazed are really only good when they're hot. That's why they have a sign that lights up when they're coming off the conveyor that says, "Hot Doughnuts Now". The other styles are okay cold I guess. I never eat those.
has anyone heard quiet rumblings of new light on the meaning of the 144,000?
to look for 144,000 congregations of jehovah's people as there are now almost 112,000 congregations?
has anyone heard this?.
Hell, they ain't grumbling about the certified 'noo lite' where the Governing Body IS the Faithful and Discreet Slave class now... why would they grumble about something unsubstantiated?
badges are coming to distinguish real christian effort!
1. badges: i want my badge to be different from the other brothers and sisters badges coming!
the society has realized they can't live without us and now they are giving us a little something extra ,it's going to be a blast!
attend the memorial this year..
I never know if I'm going until the week of. It depends on the family. Some years, I've not attended, some years, discretion is the better part of valor and I attend to keep peace.
I'd prefer to never step foot in a hall again (except for weddings/funerals of people I knew/liked) but it's one meeting, one hour, once a year. Ain't that big of a deal. I can handle it.
has anyone else recieved the letter from the gb about international conventions in 2014?
according to the letter the missionarys/order of full time servants desperately need to get to the conventions in their homeland.
so to accomplish this, jehovah needs 15 cents per publisher, per congregation for some months ( sorry i can't remember the exact length of time ).
If you remember the Five Man Electrical Band doing this song instead of Tesla's remake, you're really showing your age...
can expect an elder visit if I keep this up
Now, that would be kinky!
There were some interesting positions tried along the way, even some stuff the WTS wouldn't approve of, on rare occasions, but that was very rare indeed.
That's irregular unregular
so last night the wife is working, the kids are getting ready for bed and i'm watching futurama.
doorbell rings.
now it's dark, snowing and i live on a back road, so it's very odd to have a visitor.
i also have the benefit of most people being intimidated by me so no regular publisher will pop in. they know better
That is a benefit. I'm not overly intimidating, but I am known to defend myself when backed into a corner. One elder in particular found that out when he and another elder 'popped in' one day early in my exit. He was condescending, then pushy then insulting. And in my home. I jumped back in his shit and ended up kicking both of em out of the house. They never bothered me again. And when I do see them on rare occasion, they avoid me.
The story spread and a lot of dubs are apprehensive around me. That or they never really liked me to begin with and now have an excuse to be standoffish... which works for me. Don't care to pretend to like them anymore either.
Swoosh... Right over y'all's heads...
"regular" as in plain ole everyday vs kinky, perverted, porn movie worthy
