"A truth presented by Satan himself is just as true as a truth stated by God."
forgot about this one i did about two years ago.
found it on kent's site.
thanks kent!
Simon,
:"By that reaosning, it could never come."
:"Every day, there are more people on the earth who have't heard about Jehovahs Witnesses ( a nice thought ... they are always shrinking relatively) or their wonderful 'message'."
This 's the one I'll go for, combined with the scripture about God delaying the D-day so that more and more will get saved. If God is as kind as I think he is, then it won't ever come. Sometimes I just wish the Dubs are right. It makes everything simple. Life and living will go on forever. thi sis our paradise.
in the january 1 issue of each year, they harp on about how many hours the jws did last year etc etc.. how many hours are possibly falsely reported?.
discuss,please
I was a pretty good dub. The secretary never got tired telling me I need not report like 10 hours 45 mins. Then I had a book. I'd add the minutes for the next month until it made an hour, and so on... That was until I started going out in the FS with one pioneer brother. Let's call him Dave. Dave was a super pioneer. He averaged 110 hours every month. Tens of bible studies. Incredible magazine placements. Dave liked me. I was a young dub and always asked spiritual questions during our trips in the field. Then he started showing me the tricks. You got to be honest, he would emphasise... some don't report accurately. But he does. He learnt it at pioneer school. I should work topwards going to pioneer school. It's simple.
We set out in FS. Give someone in your house a tract; someone, anyone, so far they're not a JW. The counting has started. When we stopped for breaks, he'd give the guy at the shop a tract while we drank. We're still doing God's will while lunching. On the way home, you don't stop counting. And it's honest. You must give someone in your house a tract. If it's the same unlucky fellow who got a tract inthe morning, give him a different tract. It's all part of the work. I felt guilty at first... but then, it was like adultery... two, three more times, then it became second nature. Even hours spent reading anti-JW articles on the iNet counted...
Ozzie,
can you please post the full header? It's probably from the same source as the dead silentlambs mail.
after reading many posts on this site, it seems we all share the same types of fears.while witnesses, some were petrified to give a talk in the theocratic ministry school.
others were sick to their stomach to go out in door to door work.
if the elders said that they wanted to talk to you after the meeting, fear would set in throughout the whole night.
Minimus,
what are your own fears?

Then it seems some pshyco's culling email addresses from ex-jw sites and mailing to them. May be with the full headers of the mails sent, those who know can get to find out the source of the mails.

Got the same email. Couldn't be true, could it? Or is someone playing tricks? Seems the email addresses were culled from ex-jw sites...
i'm trying to reconcile the society's stats in the

they claim that there's a 1 in 5,100 probability of being killed in a plane crash!

thought i'd stop by to say hello and drop hugs all around.
i do lurk from time to time - but have withdrawn quite a bit due to several weeks of flu and infections.
