  Do You Think That Animals Truly Understand Human Language?

  they say horses communicate with their ears.

  mr. ed talked, though.

  pet owners, do you think that your cat or dog or goldfish really understands you?.

  Good job Hustle, Lurker & Table for One!

  So good to hear people standing up for what is RIGHT! Not just "following the General's orders."

  You are real human beings! So glad to hear others still have a conscience. My husband, my kids and their fams & I all made it out, that was my only wish, and I got it. (I still have siblings & mom still in.)

  One of my fam' won't give me their cell number, because "I wished Candice Conti would win her case and make the WT change it's policies!" So sad.

  When I hear these stories, how people are outraged & stirred at injustice, I am happy.

  You will be much happier when you don't have to support a lie ;-)

  Thank you for these facts & quotes, Terry.

  You made them easy to see, simple to discern, and organized in a way to make an impact. Just the way I like!

  I know it takes a lot of hours and work, I hope to be able to use them,

  thx!

  Hello

  i thought it was high time to introduce myself (without my name of course).

  as my name would suggest i have been reading your intriguing post, thoughts and discussions for some time now.

  around 3/4 months to be exact.. i guess to start with it would seem fitting to give a little background on my current situation.. i'm a born-in, but have over the last few years found that through a number of varying occurences, (some of which i may discuss in future posts) that my 'zeal' has gone from regular field service and meetings to no service in over a year and very sporadic meeting attendance.

  Reality is plain to see: if you just open your eyes

  2. friends

  i made a post a few days ago about stagnant jw growth at international conventions.

  i also enjoyed reading analysis of the statistics from jwfacts.

  what the watchtower claims and what the reality is, are two different things.

  So very true....

  I use to watch the 'dwindling' figures of "how many annointed are partaking at the memorial this past year" and think, as a little girl... "Only 6,00 left to die, and we are close to Armageddon".... then the numbers went up...

  First clue.... ignored.

  Surreal experience last night.

  by objectivetruth in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  recently a jw friend that my wife & i knew 3 years ago added me on facebook, after i accepted the request she invited me to a dinner that her and her husband are holding next month.. i imagined that she was unaware of our apostasy, so i declined the invitation on the basis of not wanting to ruin her dinner after the rest of her guests fled at our presence.. i'm never sure how old friends will react when i tell them that i'm no longer a jw.. usually their response is "..... permanent-silence......".

  her response went something like this, " we are all out!

  everyone that is coming is out we all look forward to seeing you guys so much" it turns out that there will be 6 people at the dinner all friends of ours from a congregation that we attended a few years back.. they have all left the organization recently.. pretty crazy experience..

  We ALSO have had the same kind of experiences!! It is so great! People we really were close to, really, really nice people that had left before us, are all calling us, saying "Hey!" and we go see them, talk to them, hug, laugh, talk and it's just like we have never stopped being friends!

  It's like getting resurrected! Welcoming people back from the dead! YYYAAAAAAAAAYYY!

  Watchtower Tells Us "Employers Seek JWs Only" Yet Most JW Employers Avoid Hiring JWs, Why?

  by BucketShopBill in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  here's a thought: we're told over and over how employers sing the praises of their jw employees, sometimes with a vague quote about how 'if we could only hire jws, we would as they are so honest'.

  however, while some jw employers themselves may hire jw employees (usually cheap entry level positions), most don't.

  in fact, many jw's in general who have businesses have a rule not to do work with jws, even those in their congregation.

  Mary is a hypothetical person facing a situation that some Christians have faced. The way she handles the situation represents how some have applied Bible principles in similar circumstances.

  In their Commentary on the Old Testament, Keil and Delitzsch state that a person would be guilty of error or sin if he “knew of another’s crime, whether he had seen it, or had come to the certain knowledge of it in any other way, and was therefore qualified to appear in court as a witness for the conviction of the criminal, neglected to do so, and did not state what he had seen or learned, when he heard the solemn adjuration of the judge at the public investigation of the crime, by which all persons present, who knew anything of the matter, were urged to come forward as witnesses.”

  So, if you know of a pedophile, and "knew of their crime", "could appear in court as a witness," "neglected to do so" What would happen to you?

  Would you be DF'd? Lose your life at Armageddon? In many of the pedophile cases among JW's that I have read, it's the people who "stand up for what is right," who "go before the judge to testify" that get DF'd. The honest ones get punished, & get called apostates...

  Why? for "speaking against the glorious ones,' for testifying in court "in opposition to the WT."
