  just had jws over.

  one of them (been in all of about 4 years) said "you can be sure no true christians have died due to famine" like therefore it didn't matter who did - i thought i was going to throw up... i told him that was an evil thing to say and out came the bible about the lillies of the field and manna in the desert.. .

  ugh.

  JW Flood Cartoon?

  by glitter in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  years ago (mid/late-90's) there was a documentary about jws on british tv and in part of it they showed a snippet from (presumably) a wt *cartoon* about noah's flood *pointedly* showing a mother and child drowning.. .

  *was* this definitely a jw cartoon or was it just from another source and used as an example?

  where can i get hold of a copy?.

  A Gem in the Awake

  by glitter in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there's a great example of how ignorant jws are in the november 8th awake (oil: will it ever run out).. on the letters page: (the writer is from the ukraine, so i *hope* something's been lost in the translation... but why would they print it if it was?).

  "i wish to express my appreciation for the article "young people ask... what's wrong with cheating?

  " (january 22 2003).

  OT: Taken in a stray dog...

  by glitter in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it's bonfire night (well it was) and mum saw a skinny mongrel (alsatian x labrador x collie type thing) scared half to death in the street and took him in at least just until the fireworks stopped.. we've reported him found with the police, and we're keeping him until his owner comes forward but it looks like he's been straying for a very long time - nails all worn down, really bad fleas, bad ears, starving hungry, stinky, all stuff like that.

  the lost dog police person didn't think it sounded like anyone would be looking for him unless he'd been lost ages.. he's very friendly, the only problem is he's chased the cats, and now none of them will come in (except one i actually went and picked up and brought upstairs).

  ok it's only been a few hours, but if they don't get on he'd have to go to the dog warden - and then he'd only have 10 days.... the youngest two were very very close to our dog that died last year, so they probably don't remember him at all or how nice dogs can be.

  I'm going to a birthday party!

  by glitter in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my mum's best friend's daughter's 18th in november, and i'm definitely going and my sister probably is (she's out at the moment)!

  she didn't have a birthday party until this one because with me and my little sis being jw it meant two less people to go (we're more family than friends) so she missed out on birthday parties too and she wasn't even jw!.

  i just need to think of the perfect present to make up for all those years.. it official that i'm not a jw now if i go and it's a bit scary because 100% not wanting to be a jw has happened so suddenly (after finding everything out about the scandals, i was about 90% out before) - i didn't celebrate my birthday in june and i didn't celebrate my friend's birthday the week after and now i can't wait for christmas and for june to roll around again.. i'm so excited!!

  NWT Question

  by glitter in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  a couple of years ago i got into an conversation with a pioneer about bible translations, i said that the nwt is an american translation (i didn't think this was such a controversial statement!

  ) and she jumped down my throat about it!

  i said "but it's called the new world translation, and "new world" is what europeans used to call north america" and she said "no, it's the new-world translation - because it's for jehovah's witnesses and we will get through to the new system" and while i was trying to reason with her she also said it was a "new world-translation, it's a new translation for all the world".. has anybody else met somebody who thought this?
