  i’m still a good christian.

  i still believe the bible.. i don’t like the wt society, but some of the people, as individuals are good.

  there are many nasty jws also.. i have concerns about current events and how close the end actually is.

  AnotherJohn, you just got here and have already started on a wrong foot at least for me.

  Pull up a chair and make yourself comfortable and get to know people here first.

  Lloyd Evans is an opportunist who figured out that he can make easy money without working. (he strikes me as a very lazy man who can't even take care of his own appearance and has to have other people come and fix up his house.)

  There are some real activists out there. Many we don't really know their names because they work quietly behind the scenes without asking for money.

  Lloyd's threats remind me of the old Italian proverb: "tutto fumo e niente arrosto" ---all smoke and no roast or all sizzle and no steak.

  I don't understand what his remaining cult followers I mean "Patreonites" find interesting in his rants. The guy is so long winded and utterly boring.

  To be fair, the governing body at least run a comb through their hair before going on camera.

  So true! I always wondered why lloyd always looks so unkempt. I hate to say it but he should take a few lessons from the gb

  Jehovah's Witnesses: remembering the weird and wacky!

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  do you remember some of the weird and wacky stuff emanating from the watchtower society?

  let's make a list from memory that we can use to inject a little humor into our discussions with jehovah's witnesses.

  - venus may be an enormous jurassic park.. - germs don't cause disease.. - no beards allowed.

  Then there are all the regional stuff:

  - smurfs are demonized
  - women shouldn't wear pants with zippers on the front
  - Listening to Paul Anka's" put your head on my shoulder " makes you immoral
  - Skirts have to be 2 inches below the knee
  - White shirts only on stage
  - Brothers can't say the prayer at a meeting unless you have a jacket on
  -Reading the awake for six months will give you a college education

  I could go on and on on the craziness of this religion.

  The persecution complex is part of a witness genetic makeup. I can remember the fear I had as a kid taking in all this crap

  Memorial Weirdness

  by Ding in

  those of us with a watchtower background probably see the memorial as normal.. at least, we're used to it.. we can forget how weird it seems to an outsider.. it's like inviting a group out to dinner, having meals placed on the table, and then explaining to them why no one present should be partaking of any of it because it's really intended for someone else..

  In all honesty, even when I was a true blue witness i was weirded out by the the whole procedure. The passing of the bread and wine by men all dressed in black suits was so bizarre.
