Ansolutley insane. The old corps is coming back with near as new pirate clothes?? And then he needs to convert into modern day clothes? Why? Would Jehovah kill him if he didn't? Their god must be so shallow. Heck, if I had been dead and buried for hundreds and hundreds of years and get resurrected the last thing on my mind would be dress code. -

I just watched the Unwitness and friggin loved it. We need more of this. They do invite the public, they do say it's personal to take part and people do have the right to stand up to a lie who's main purpose is to minimize Christ.
This is a cult who's members are not allowed to discuss, to read the Bible by itself, to think, therefore it leaves not many other options than this. And no, you can't just "discuss" with a JW, believe me, I have tried.
I'm sure there are many in that cong that are already awake and many that are on the border, have doubts etc. This can very well give them that nudge to do deeper research.
These activist should wear t-shirts with JWFacts.com printed in large on both front and back and reveal them as soon as they stand up.

Try to live with my mom for even a week and then tell me how much you love her. Seriously...
When someone tells me my ruler is the devil and that I will get slaughtered any day now (for 30+ years already) and have my eyes picked out and eaten by crows yea, I'll get a little defensive. That, and the fact that I like to expose the true nature of their seven evil leaders.

Carla, I just took a screenshot of what you wrote. Splendid! You put words to everything I wanted to express (to my mom) but somehow couldn't get it together as well as you. Hope you don't mind me using it next time I'm talking to her. :) -

My cat died suddenly!
by Fisherman ini did not realize that they were symptoms that something was wrong with my cat -but i did notice that my cat was breathing a little differently for a period of about a few days.
i also noticed prior and after to that, that on occasion, my cat would cry at the litter box, but that was a very seldom event.. anyway, about a week ago i noticed the symptom that my very loved cat was breathing heavy.
so i called a taxi and i was going to rush him to emergency room for cats.

I'm so sorry for your loss, it's terrible. It really rips your heart out.
When my then 13 year old cat got sick, she started to withdraw. She was hiding under the bed, didn't eat anymore and she was also vomiting a lot. And her breathing was laboured too, it was like she was air hungry.
It was on a weekend and we drove her to an open vet clinic. There they told us she was jaundice, had yellow gums and eyes. They x-rayed her and it turned out she had a large mass on her liver, most likely a malignant tumor. She was so sick and miserable we decided then and there to put her out of her misery. We definetly didn't want to put her through uncertain cancer treatments. She was put to sleep for good in my lap and we cried like babies.
I "saw" her in the corner of my eyes for a long time after at home. The emptiness was so huge and I felt like I had amputated a big part of me. I still think of her and the joy she brought us all even though this was over ten years ago.
I'm sorry for you your friend passed in such way and I hope you have loved ones to get support from now. And I also hope one day the sadness will lift and you can cherish all the wonderful memories your cat gave you without feeling the weight of a heavy grief.
Big hug to you.

Swedish has the same word; Skadeglädje (skade-glädje) directly translated "damage- joy". It IS a joyous feeling :) -

Has anyone seen "The Prodigal Son Returns" on JW.TV? A Masterpiece of indoctrination
by truthseeker ini'm watching the jw movie the prodigal son returns.. it is a masterpiece of indoctination and what i would call a "cult" classic.. it's about two brothers who work for their father's construction firm.
the older one is the most spiritual and the younger one isn't.
he befriends al, a weak brother, who persuades him to take a job in the city and move there.. it shows the "world" in the worst possible light.

It's probably set up by a Jehovah's Witness that gave it to the WT after her death. But yea, it's very tasteless they're profiting from it, since so many witnesses throughout the history have suffered, even giving up their lives, based on symbolic principles. -

JW Expressions We Hate
by Socrateswannabe ini was browsing through stuff on jw.org recently and ran across some expressions that really grate on my nerves: loyal love, loving-care, and loving-kindness, as in: "please exercise loving-kindness toward your servant.
" who talks like that?
they must be relics of the fred franz era.

I don't know why, but I just hate the word "circuit overseer", but in Swedish; "kretstillsyningsman". And how my mom always gets her panties in a bunch when the almighty "kretstillsyningsman" is coming to town. And they claim not to have any idols?
I also dislike the expression "meeting". "I'm going to a meeting" which sounds like they're working professionals, when it's actually just an indoctrination session. Why don't they say "I'm going to worship"? Why make it sound like something it's not?
