  New methods?

  hi, had some strange things happen this week that have made me ponder what on earth is going on with the man made organisation.. 1/ while picking up some train tickets i was approached by a young man with an ipad of sorts who engaged me in a chap and then asked to show me a new website i asked what he was trying to sell or promote he assured me that he was selling nothing the website he showed me was jw.org so i quickly said so you are promoting an organisation with a brand name similar to how a christian would promote jesus and the bible he looked confused but then said yes, so i said that i thought that to be quite shamefull, he froze for a bit and didnt comment so i asked is this new symbol a trade mark of some marketting firm to which he said "no we are jehovahs witnesses" no one else was around so not sure of the "we" but anyway i said if god has given us the bible whats with a website that produces snippets out the bible with an opinion on the meaning he avoided the question and asked me what i believed in so i said my religions leeders dont let me discuss belief with anybody so i obey,listen to them and dont question he said "you have been blessed by j with a brain and freedom of thought to look and question" i said ok but i think its strange that you use a name for god thats perhaps made up by man, blindly follow and dont question a group of self appointed men as well as showing signs of idoatory to an organisation that has pushed jesus to one side, at this he suddenly he had to dash off.

  2/ when out shopping i was apprehended by a group of people with a stand giving free literature and promoting the jw.org website so i had had to ask whats with this name change after all these years and are you a similar religion to the catholic church which led to a chat about how the catholic religion is false and how they wickedly have covered up sex abuse!

  i didnt bite on this one but asked if birth control was banned in the jw.org religion a lady stepped forward and explained that it was cruel and not biblical to ban contreception i said i had been shown a bit in the bible that gives rise to this ban and she said they(catholic church) dont understand the bible and use it to control and miss inform people so i replied similar to how your organisation bans blood and birthdays by misinterpreting the bible i went on to say that i believe the organisation to be hypocritical,false , cult like and shamefull how it covers up sex abuse i also got in that the organisation had totally corrupted its self with its un membership and also with the sheer amount of false prophecy over its relatively short history at which the senior man at the table politely told me if i wasnt interested in the literature to be on my way and that hopefully i would mature enough to let jehovah into my heart before it was to late and that he felt sorry for me and the people i obviously associated with.

  so, one hot beautiful (not a cloud in the sky) kind of summer day, there was an elder who decided to re shingle his house.

  this was on the book study day.

  he started early and got all the shingles off of the roof in time for the book study that night.

  Annomaly - Your number 3. does have way more to the story....but it would be way too detailed for me to put on here. I sanitized the details in the story already. Oh yes that house in the future had God's blessing.

  D.O.C, Yep he did and because of so many other houses damaged that is why he had to stay in a hotel for 3 months.

  So, one hot beautiful (not a cloud in the sky) kind of summer day, there was an elder who decided to re shingle his house. This was on the book study day. He started early and got all the shingles off of the roof in time for the book study that night. Just to be clear, the roof was now bare plywood. About half way into the study he was real uncomfortable, i mean not paying much attention, constantly looking outside at the ever darkening sky, and just for your knowledge he was the conductor!

  Within the time the study started to about half way in we had one of the worst rain storms our town has ever seen. The rain was coming down so hard the streets were literally rivers. Did he cut short the study? Nope. He continued on until the hour was up and then rushed over to his house and tried to nail tarps on his roof in the driving rain. As i ponder over this story today i am under the thought that Jehovah would understand cutting the meeting short so this brother could try and save any damage to his house.

  The cost of his decision? 3 months of living in a hotel, most of the items in the house destroyed, and tons of electrical work needed to be redone. All this for about 1/2 hr of a book study. He is still much the same today. This was 10 years ago. As a side note many in our town had severe damage to their homes because of this storm.

  List of hotels near the stadium and the prices. Lots of hotels under $300. Where i go to the DC our hotels are usually $99-$149 per night. Some of the hotels we stayed at on the lodging list were absolute dumps, wonder why "the brothers had to find lodging at hotels that were used to getting $300/night"? And thats just 75 hotels around the stadium.

  http://www.hotels-rates.com/hotels/locations/Seattle/WA/usa/5298/

  This just hit me...

  Next, the brothers had to find lodging at hotels that were used to getting $300/night and they were offering $140.! The hotels all said "NO WAY! We have gigantic cruise ships coming in here that are full of people who are willing to pay the $300. So after this went on for a while, the brothers got to feeling really disheartened about the whole thing and so they had to call the branch again and tell them they couldn't get lodging. The branch told them - "you keep hitting the walls and Jehovah will blow the trumpets" so they kept on asking. Finally, 1 of the major hotels changed their minds and gave in. After that, one by one they all gave in and accepted our offer!

  What? So the hotels were just messin with the society? No we cant accept the low offer cause we have tons of people who are willing to pay lots more....ha ha just messin with you , yeah we will take your offer??? This just does not make sense.
