This would be a fun band to see! Maybe we could go as a group and wear tshirts with the new blue jw.org logo overlaid with the slashed red circle (for "not allowed"). Wish I could design that and copy it here, maybe someone with skills?

Amish Outlaws
by moomanchu inthey have an interesting story.. i think the dubs need a form of "rumspringa".
http://www.mcall.com/entertainment/music/mc-musikfest-amish-outlaws-lancaster-20140731,0,5831455.story.
six amish men walk into a bar.. they're all dressed in the simple garb of the plain people broadcloth slacks, suspenders and straw hats.. they get on stage, with guitars, a keyboard, microphones and amplifiers.

There is no logic to any of their teachings. Zero. Zip. Nada.
Their attitudes about "armageddon" are so judgmental as to be wicked in and of themselves. Even the idea that any particular person has the right, much less the knowledge and wisdom, to discern even in a general way what type of person may survive and which might be murdered is BIZARRE.
No one teaches the jws to follow in the footsteps of Jesus anymore. For a group that presents itself as the foremost bible authority, that is just pitiful.
They are nothing but a giant pile of nonsense.

What's Worse than a Pedophile? A Elder Who Tells Newspapers JWs Hide them?
by BucketShopBill inin jw "practices", is a active pedophile worse than a elder who called the police and exposed a watchtower cover-up?
i wrote how some pedophiles have bought lavish gifts, throw elder parties, and bring out their best worldy gifts to win the hearts of the congregations shepherds.
sadly to report, a large portion of the jw elders are not educated leaving them to rely on the watchtower's written materials to decide what is "right and wrong", instead of using the bible or mankind's laws.. .

Blondie, so true. When have the wt leaders and elders ever been truly concerned about women and children, the pedophile's victims?
Having been in the midst of pedophile activity (from the victim's and family's side), the most noticeable activity has been the elders' extreme lack of caring and lack of love shown to victims and families.
In jw-land, pedophiles have freedom while their victims are not allowed to speak out.
Jw elders should be sickened and ashamed of themselves for supporting these crimes.

I'm still wondering which people literally "kneel, kiss and pray" to rock bands and money.
Idol worship can, and usually does, involve worshipping something by giving it undue reverence and a prominent place in one's life. Certainly the zeal with which the jws are personally promoting the blue box symbol qualifies as a form of idol worship or idolatry.
jws were not even supposed to wear watchtower symbols or Jah-jewelry showing the Tetragrammaton but now there's been a huge flip-flop and this symbol is being promoted like something created by Madison Ave, which it probably is. Jws are NOT preaching the good news of gods kingdom but are promoting a website.
Were Jesus still be in it, he'd be turning in his grave.

Here are a few more excerpts/quotes from the first episode:
When someone is shunned, you don't even take anything out of their hand. They're unclean.
It's the disobedient people who leave the amish church. When we lose obedience, we lose the church. Amen.

Can anyone give me any advice on how to get rid of cockroaches?
by Jeannette ini have sprayed, i have bug bombed, i have sprayed some more.
i threw things out i thought that they might have a nest in.

Jeannette, if you live in a house the best thing to do is put boric acid all along the foundation of the house and doorways. If you have a basement, treat the windowsills. Be careful that your pets don't ingest it, if you have any. But it works!

They don't really want "evil" ones to return, they want to frighten everyone else not to leave.
In their minds --- spiritual death. Akin to being stoned.

WTS one step closer to "1984" - JW literature rewritten in online versions
by sir82 inlikely everyone here is familar with the novel "1984" - "he who controls the past, controls the future.
he who controls the present, controls the past".. take a look at wol.jw.org, insight book, topic "faithful and discreet slave".. current online wording: http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1200001485.
jesus trained the apostles for the role they would have after pentecost 33 c.e.

I unexpectedly find myself sad that I tossed all the old books....I soooo wish I had them now to use as proof of rewrites. The one above is just one of many.
