Add at the end: "Now here come a group of Jehovah's Witnesses right now. Let's put this pamphlet into action, and be prepared to never be bothered by JWs again, and never to have to worry about having them enter into your family as a wedge that divides and eventually causes a widespread breakup between your family members.

An Anti-Witnessing Campaign, Please Join Me!
by What Now? inin the past few weeks, the shunning issue has become a very personal one for me, and i have begun to realize that it is not just enough for me and my family to fade out.
after some recent events, i am motivated to start some anti-watchtower activism of my own.. i, like many others, have hoped that there would be a scandal of epic proportions within the organization, something that would wake others up and trigger a mass exodus.. while i am still hopeful that this may happen, it seems that the organization is too good at damage control, and heightening the paranoia surrounding apostates.. but what if the ex-witness community tried a different approach?.
what if, to borrow a hockey term, a sort of shut out situation was created?.

DINOSAURS - INFECTION AND INJURY
by Bloody Hotdogs! ini've been dying to ask this question for years:.
jws love to say they are not young earth creationists.
surely, then, they must accept that dinosaurs lived long before humans and original sin.

I dont see that anyone mentioned the society belief from the live forever book that dinosaurs' purpose on earth was to pack down all the loose soil since the dinosaurs were so heavy and had such large feet. Not sure about the reference actually. But I heard this from every jw I ever spoke with on the topic so I wonder why no one mentioned it on this thread. Of course that doesnt explain why we had flying creatures but: to keep ecological balance, provide food for land animals, trim the trees that were too tall for land animals to reach and to move rocks and boulders around from high mountain places to lower areas like giant C-17 cargo planes or flying cranes. In fact this is where the name for cranescame from....

What is your weirdest field service experience ?
by cookiemaster inmine just popped in my head and i just had to share it.
a few years ago i went with a special pioneer(and elder) at one of his studies who was a cow herder in the mountains.
obviously, even though we were going to the middle of nowhere, where no one lived, we just had to go all dressed up in nice suits and all.

I can confirm the validity of Blondie's experience, but she left out a few details. When the witch handed the soiled rolled-up watchtower she subtly revealed her identity. Her chilling words haunt me to this day: "This magazine is full of nothing but Roumors and Sweet Little Lies. Take this crap back to your leaders compliments of Rihannon." After the witnesses left the witch prayed to Satan for a new name and promised the devil that if he gave her fame and fortune she would write every song about destroying jehovah's witnesses and praising and honoring Satan. Today we know this witch by the name Stevie Nicks. However, recently she broke her promise to the devil by actually reading a watchtower and accepting a bible study with jw's and the devil punished her by sending her, her latest song, "What's dumber than a song? This song."

Crazy JW urban legend
by Simon ina sure guarantee that this was bogus (really, any reasoning is required at all?
) was that it did the rounds applied to john denver, annie lennox and others.. basically, they relied on satan (oh yes) for their musical ability (i knew it) and any jws in the audience would be asked to leave because ... (drum roll) ... they blocked the signal to satan so couldn't perform with them present!.
anyone else remember that gem?.

Is it a verified fact that john denvers head was cut off in the crash? I remember the footage of the crash and thinking it didnt look like that bad of a crash. Anyway john was one of my all time favorite musicians. I didnt like him as a kid but his beautiful voice and songs just gave me chills as I matured in my musical appreciation.

Fallacies about Faith
by tec inpeace to you!.
this thread is about false things (some) atheists think theists believe.
this is not a thread about false things that atheists think about theists.

I love how smug and matter of fact the tone of tec's post is. And how kind and gentle and yet how firmly, like a parent to a child he sets all those dumb and ignorant atheists straight. This post. Actually makes me hate all theists. I am a theist but barely so and this post makes me ashamed to claim that label. Yet most atheists I have to say are just smarter in general than theists.I even think atheists are morally better than theists since they have better reasons for not raping little girls than god told me not to and or else I go to hell.so tec, thanks for being so supersmart as to make me want to trash what little faith I have. I hate that Imight actually get put in any of the same categories as you in some census. If you loved blue iI would hate blue, that is how ignorant I think you are.

I really hate that this post is still up top when I clicked on active topics just now. What bugs me is how random it is. Hey did you ever want to take up gladiator reinactments? Did you ever want to take a popcicle stick, break it in two and shove the splintery end up your anus? Did you ever want to take the top to a plastic jug of milk, fill it with a teaspoon of salt water, take it over to the sink and dump it out and then put it back on the jug of milk without washing the small residue of salt that remains on it? Did you ever want to move to johnson city, Tennessee and join the Lyons club business association? I don't know, im not really coming up with anything to compare it with that is witty, funny . And just as random. But the answer to all of these questions, but to the mormon question infinitely more intensely and forcefully is screaming, Why in the hell would I want to even think for one second about becoming a mormon???

Going Back for the Right Reasons
by startingover13 ini'm new to this site, but i have been following the topics for some time.
initially, it was during a deep search into the history of jehovah's witnesses, and yes, "apostate" sites.
i was born into the organization in 1989. my father was always more inclined to the organization than my mother, and soon after she was df'ed.

Welcome to the forum and thank you for sharing. You are truly lucky your earthly father stood his ground and remained in your corner even after you were dfd. So I hope you continue to share your story as it unfolds. Its a bit of a cliff hanger so far. "What does he mean by "go back?" Is he going to go through the process of reinstatement into the watchtower organization? What does he mean by christian and his household serving jehovah? Will he raise his kids to be jws and just be sort of the rebel family in the hall that just have an expansive bible conscience or will he attend some other church or will he be a lone christian with no church affiliation?" Fill us in brother, and god bless you.
