  started last week sunday, sorry for the delay in posting.. the downside is that it's only 3 days a week.

  but i'm still continuing to look for a better job.. my landlord moved me to a studio apt which is 300 dollars a month with still all utilties paid.

  it's an ok apt, not too shabby.

  i watched the movie "mickey blue eyes" last night on tv, staring hugh grant.

  at one point there is a knock at the door and mickey, looking through the peep hole, anounces "its the jehovah bloody witnesses".

  there was more insitent knocking and the female occupant replies "they must be really devoted!".

  it's been awhile since i've been on here.

  due to death in the family, chicken pox in children and other nasty things.. i posted here awhile ago about things i had found the unsettled me.

  i was due to have a visit from two elders and a lot of you gave me lots of help and encouragement.. well, the two elders visited and i have to admit that it was nothing like i expected.. they sat down, and told me straight away that there was nothing i could say or ask that would hurt me.

  many people hate or dislike the jehovah witnesses.

  the jw's think it's a sign that they have the truth.

  enumerate a few reasons why people dislike them.

  This is an easy one. JWs are disliked becuase they preach. People give s*** about religion. You talk to people about anything and they will be happy. Anything but religion.

  Do other religons do this?

  by desib77 in

  2. friends

  are there other religons that practice disfellowshipping type tactics?

  when i tried to explain my situation to my husband's family they mentioned that it was like excommunication or shunning.

  i just wondered if this is a common practice at other religons and what type of sin would call for such punishment.

  Scientology use the term 'disconection". Other religions do practice this.

  today i took a ride in a city where i never go.

  i saw a kingdom hall and about 500 feet away i saw an evangelist church.

  both buildings on the same side of the street, look quite similar and so close to each other.

  If the Witnesses wouln't attend 3 meetings a week, but only on Sundays, then there would be an increase in attendance for that day.

  A heard a sister say that she decorated her little son's room with anything Smurf- related. One morning she went into his room and found him with marks and small bruises. She didn't know what may have caused this. She didn't try to pay too much attention but it kept on happening every morning. After she started listening to these Smurfs stories, she took the whole wallpaper, toys, pajamas, everything out. After that, she never found her son like this.

  Also my mothers brother-in-law swears that in his old congregation in Mex, he and all other Ws witnessed a Smurf doll, about 8", get out and walk out the Kingdom Hall! It belonged to a boy. No one said a word in amazement, and to not disturb the little divil!

  The grown in Great Britian and Japan is indeed slow. But although there has been a decline in baptisms, the retention rate is substantially higher than in the past.

  i was once told that john denver (folk singer of songs like rocky mountain high and such) was on the tonight show one night.

  he was a huge patriot and apparently had no love whatsoever for jw's.

  apparently as the story goes, john gets up to sing a patriotic song and before he begins tells the audience "if there are any jehovah witnesses in the audience, you may want to leave right now.

  Alright here it goes. It is said that Gloria Estefan was interviewed on a radio talk show. They asked her what was her wish, if she could only have one. She said she would'nt wish for anything to have because she already has everything. But if she were to have to wish, she would like to have Jehovah's WItnesses heads cut off! And then she giggles. I have talked to several JWs who swear they heard this.
