I may have misread the application, but it appears that they applied for a mark where the "JW." appears above the "ORG" -- yet the mark I keep seeing is the "JW" above the ".ORG" so is everyone using it incorrectly on the bOrg jewelry and such?

Trademark office rejects Watchtower's application for "JW.Org" logo
by AndDontCallMeShirley inhttp://tsdr.uspto.gov/#casenumber=85896124&casetype=serial_no&searchtype=statussearch.
even though watchtower's application has been rejected, they will be allowed to use the logo because it is for religious usage and will not be confused with commercial products.. the trademark office did note this:.
indeed, numerous other marks are registered reflecting the letters j and w:.

JW's just called at my door, simply handed me the JW.ORG tract and left! JW's now mere leaflet distributors.
by yadda yadda 2 ini'm off work today and its a monday morning.
a male and female jw just knocked on my door, i opened it, the guy just handed me their latest website promoting tract saying "hi, were just leaving these with people today", and then he made to leave.
i looked at the tract and then looked at him as he was turning to walk away and said to him "ok, thanks, but ummm you could've just left it in my letterbox.".

Wife and Kids at Meeting
by lambsbottom inso wife and kids went to meeting while i stayed home because i am on a religious cleanse.

Lambsbottom -- Just because the wt prints something and calls it doctrine doesn't mean they invented it!
I have never, in my entire life, ever believed in hellfire. I still believe there is no physical "hell" with satan and demons and all that, but then I never did! So believing something that is a wt doctrine is surely no reason to stick close to the cult. I never understood the trinity concept either, so ditto on that.
And "jehovah" truly was never used in the NT, so the wt is falsifying the bible by claiming that it was.
Hang in there! You are indeed on the right path and IT WILL GET EASIER!! The longer you are away from mind control, the more readily you will see the real truth about "The Truth".

Every single member of that congregation should be horrified, as once it was broadcast locally, they all know this took place.
Are the rank and file jws just pretending everything is okay and this was an "isolated" incident by a random "bad" person?
Those elders who never reported these events to the police should be horse-whipped and tossed out in the street. Where is cowboy justice these days?

World Events bring about A Renewed Zeal!!!
by jk-ton inhi guys!
is anyone sensing an increasingly sanctimonious arrogance in j-dubs recently?
im asking this as i am finding that with the two major news stories in the last few weeks (ie.

Dear jk-ton, theirs is a false confidence and is not one iota different than the many other times they have cried "armageddon....sooooon". Every time their has been conflict their confidence has risen, only to vanish once nothing changes. The twin towers was HUGE until it wasn't. And the jws were SURE that was the beginning of the end...at the time. As other posters have said, the world wars, more recently the Six Day War, the Gulf War, the turmoil in Egypt and Syria and everywhere in the middle east...name a time when you couldn't point to the middle east conflicts and say "oh, armageddon is coming!".
Remember the story of The Boy Who Cried Wolf? The jw leaders are that boy. They repeatedly trick people into believing the same story over and over and over...the only difference being that in the story there eventually was a real wolf. But there will be no armageddon as the jws preach it.
Please don't let their hand-clapping/jw.org/somethingbigiscoming craziness overreach your solid logic. Remember that the gb and their hired consultants are masters of manipulation and have to keep things stirred up or else everyone would eventually leave. The excitement (oh, 100 years of failed prophecies, yay!!!) is manufactured to keep the worker ants busy.
You have done well to get on the road to Freedom...please stay on it!

Been gone a while, but feel the need for support again
by megsmomma inmy jw daughter is getting close to being 18, and she was baptized at the ripe old age of 11.... so i feel like the shunning is coming.
my sister is also on the verge of getting baptized, even though i have been able to show her many things about the watchtower proving it is full of lies, she is still falling for it.
she spoke to an elder about the shunning policy, saying she wouldn't join if she would have to stop speaking to me....and they said they couldn't make her do anything...so she took it as them not caring if she speaks to me.

They are baptized in the Kool Aid. What do you think your sister will do once they pull her in the back room and "suggest" that she no longer associate with you?
