  JW internal warfare threatens the Tract campaign

  by Quarterback in

  1. social
  2. humour

  i overheard this argument re the new tract campaign.

  one elder told a publisher, to hide the tract in the mailbox if the home owner wasn't home.

  the publisher was used to folding the tip of the tract, and just left a tip showing.

  You can, however, place mail without postage on the outside of the box by sticking it between the box and the mail flag, if there is one. I've seen a few tracts "placed" that way "legally".

  I'm gonna go with this story:

  The jdubs probably did meet with the man, and probably lied to him due to their theory of theocratic warfare. Why?

  Well, no one in their right mind (meaning a non-jdub) would ever, ever, ever consider purchasing the plot of land next door once the hall was constructed. So the jdubs lie to the man, he goes ahead and builds his lovely home with a view, then the dubs build right in front of him and Voila! They can now purchase the property on the cheap for a CO to live in as the man and his wife will never be able to get decent market value for it.

  The lying, mean-spirited jdubs will call it a win for god the gb.

  The end.

  Logic behind shunning!

  by exWTslave in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jws shun those who disagree with them on the basis of some verses of apostles such as john and paul.

  (2 john 10; titus 3:10; 1 corinthians 5:11; 16:22).. however, jws do not realize that these writers are known for writing things that make no sense at all.

  1) john wrote: "no one has ascended into heaven, but he who descended from heaven: the son of man.

  And when the prodigal son eventually returned, his father treated him like royalty...not like a diseased misfit.

  Disfellowed on 7/16/14 for sending a letter to my former congregation

  by spbondgirl007 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it's been quite a while since i lasted posted anything on jwn.

  i was in hiding previously, but only because i wanted to avoid the shun gun until i had the opportunity to tell my former congregation what i think about the org./gb.

  i last attended a meeting over 2.5 years ago but it wasn't until june--when i earned my bachelor's degree--that i finally had the time to collect my thoughts and get them down on paper...i decided to write my letter in a style i felt would be most appealing to my target audience--jw's still under gb mind control --in the hope that at least a few would read it and actually "think".

  Congratulations on your degree and your new life!

  Hopefully a few will read your letter and follow your wise advice. Sadly, most have been trained to immediately throw away (or even burn!) such "apostate" literature, for that is the word that will be triggered in their cult-controlled minds when they begin to read your fine letter. Let's hope that some who are on their way out the door will be encouraged to keep walking away! So well worth it if you help to save even one more from a lifetime of bOrgdom.

  Trademark office rejects Watchtower's application for "JW.Org" logo

  http://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:.

  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?

  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 in

  i'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.".

  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".
