They should have their hawkers rights religious civil priveleges kerbed, due to the untruthful nature of what they preach - particularly the free right of continual doomsaying - it's socially dysfunctional.

Listen Up Dalai Lama! Your Days Are Numbered!
by Arthur inthe end of false religion is near - kingdom news campaign.
every once in a while, i get a stomach-churning glimpse into the the bizarre mindset of jwism.
what strikes me is how the jws believe that this tract is going to "shake people up", and stir up a firestorm of controversy that will shake the entire earth to it's core.

Your View of "Worldly" People as a Jehovah's Witness ... Then and Now
by The wanderer in<!-- .style1 {font-family: arial, sans-serif;font-size: 16px; } .style2 {font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; } --> #secondary { position: absolute; top: 311px; left: 563px; width: 132px; font-size: 100%; border: thin solid #000000; background-color: #ffffcc; height: 122px; padding: 5px; }
} your view of "worldly" people as a jehovah's witness being in the organization was unique, in the sense, that we were told to.
love our fellowman and we showed this "act of love" through our preaching.

It's quite a delusion - even on this board I continually read comments about how "many wordly people are just as good" - my personal experince with jw was that they were about the very most wicked people I'd ever met.

Bizarre November 2006 KM
by yakata inthe insert is called "how do i view blood fractions and medical procedures involving my own blood?
" i will attempt to transcribe the more salient points for everyone here.. paragraph 1 (verbatim): the bible commands christians to "abstain ... from blood.
" (acts 15:20) thus, jehovah's witnesses do not accept transfusions of whole blood or the four primary components of blood-namely, red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and plasma.

I think the first phrases say it all
The insert is called "How Do I View Blood Fractions and Medical Procedures Involving My Own Blood?"
Simply put - my soul is no more - inform me of my opinions and my brain will obey until further instruction is issued.
Sheeesh - night of the killer zombies - invasion of the body snatchers - jws - .......what's the difference?

Dung is really good for growth.
Not too much, better when it's old, good to water it in, useful broken down.
It's best when buried and left to rot - very useful when used at the right time.

Just wanted to post this "reminder" for newer jws
by A Paduan in*** awake!
if you are a young person, you also need to face the fact that you will never grow old in this present system of things.
because all the evidence in fulfillment of bible prophecy indicates that this corrupt system is due to end in a few years.

*** Awake! 1969 May 22 p.15 ***
If you are a young person, you also need to face the fact that you will never grow old in this present system of things. Why not? Because all the evidence in fulfillment of Bible prophecy indicates that this corrupt system is due to end in a few years. Of the generation that observed the beginning of the 'last days' in 1914, Jesus foretold: 'This generation will by no means pass away until all these things occur.' Therefore, as a young person, you will never fulfill any career that this system offers. If you are in high school and thinking about a college education, it means at least four, perhaps even six or eight more years to graduate into a specialized career. But where will this system of things be by that time? It will be well on the way towards its finish, if not actually gone! This is why parents who base their lives on God's prophetic Word find it much more practical to direct their young ones into trades that do not require such long periods of additional schooling… True, those who do not understand where we are in the stream of time from God's viewpoint will call this impractical. But which is really practical: preparing yourself for a position in this world that soon will pass away? or working toward surviving this system's end and enjoying eternal life in God's righteous new order?Do you believe it ?

One more time.....
by DavidChristopher inif a person wrote a book with all kinds of hard to understand words in it...even some seemingly simple ones too.. lets say "sea"....do you know what the "sea" is to the author?
is it an ocean..lake...or big river..or a creek?.
how would you ever know for sure..if the author was dead or unreachable?.

I imagine what it is to sit around a fire to a child and listen on 'scary stories' - trusting they aren't scary, and grinning at the fear taken in to the fearing (you know how kids like scaring). Things such as the 'millstone around the neck and cast into the sea" story

There are a few people you can read, to gain a quick start - keys - I'm not saying they're always right, it's as if you can tell (well, I believe I can) as you hear - check Antony of Padua
When you understand a little of the language, look at nature - and it may be that you really start to get it, but then you may find, perhaps to your suprise, that not a lot of people will be interested.
In modern consumerist living we find it hard to identify with language of nature, but even a suburban backyard is clear - the other day I pondered how useful dogs can be for getting rid of snakes.

sheep and goats
by gspradling ini am having a discussion with my jw mom on the watchtower take on matt 25:32. i know this has been discussed many times on here before, but i was wondering if someone had the watchtower quotes on this topic.
i was thinking the watchtower already had decided who the goats were.
thank you in advance.

It's simple.
A sheep is someone who drags their family to meetings for learning about newer light, because the old light has become incorrect thinking (lies), then they march them around on Saturday mornings finding other sheep who are willing to cotton on to that way of thinking.
A goat is someone who would think that those people must be some kind of goat to do that.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Or in simpler terms, a goat is Them and a sheep is Us, and this seems to work well for many concerned: ie. 'the goat is Them' appears to serve one well in confidence building, whether or not one is in or out of group.
