to my generation: jehovah's witnesses of the vietnam war era .
if you were a young brother in the late 60's you then remember the burden of the draft and the prospect of going to jail for refusing on religious grounds to be called up.
in those days we were taught that to do community service was conscientiously the same as joining the military and so we were told to refuse such exemptions.
JeffT: Yes many of my friends avoided the service, moved to Canada, wet on themselves,
one guy performed self-gratification at the induction center, a lot
of crazy stuff.I went and served of course I wasn't a JW. Today I'm glad I served.
So the JW weren't the only ones that tried getting out the service.
When someone lies to you it is because they don't respect you enough
to be honest and they think you are to stupid to know the difference.

12-15-66: investigating house and household objectsone under demon attack should calmly, not in hysteria, investigate his house and household articles.
in some few cases the house may be the cause of trouble and the best thing to do is move out.
Demons only attack those who are fighting the fine fight of the faith,
so we don't have to worry about demon attacks. We are not worth
the effort, but 8 million JW's are constantly under attack, in their
beds,from toys, movies, food, people, books, you name it they are
under attack. And you wonder why they are so panic stricken.
Hell I would be a nervous wreck also if I still believe that BS.
to all brothers and sisters reading this site: "and i love you so" (remember the don mclean song?
)...is the feeling most of us had with regard to the watchtower and the brothers leading it.
but truly, who did we get baptized for?
And another thing, LOL. Other religions have been praising Jesus and
giving him his due, nothing new. Now all of a sudden a JC Convention about JC, well
it's about time. Please don't invite folks and tell them our convention will be
about JC this year, for the last 130 years we have been talking about the End is
around the corner..

Try closing a pray at the KH "In the name of my Savior Jesus Christ
and see what will happen. Your Savior is the GB....If you insist you
will be DF before you can say I'm sorry.. You pray to Jehovah and the GB...

a watcher: I'm not belittling you but I don't get it. I left because they were
not teaching the truth, they told me a lot of lies. If Jehovah is not directing
the organization by way of the GB, why stay. Yes your Convention is
all about Jesus, but when you pray is it ok to say in the name of Jesus I
offer this prayer, or is still the Anointed that can pray in Jesus name only????

What spiritual food are you receiving? The spiritual food you are receiving is rotten
to the core. Don't understand,"I'm not responsible for them. I'm focused on enduring
faithfully to the end and living in the kingdom. A rotten tree can not produce good fruit,

That's a good one. That was one of the hard ones to find.
Sahs: Did you look at capptan post, if not very good, but there are
17 more.
i remember the days when jws were proud of their religion, they walked tall and carried their big stick, their bibles, proudly.
now, it's embarrassing for a witness to admit their faith to others.
the average witness can't explain their beliefs, as they have changed so many times.
Yesterday I was driving my sister home and on the main street there set two
elderly ladies at their JW stand. My sister ask "are they JW's". No
sign to indicate who they are. She said for the past few months I have
passed this stand and wondered who or what they were doing,
I have never seen anyone talking to them. That area , very few foot traffic.
Vidiot: we stood out side of the churches on Sunday morning, 1970's.
The scene when Malcolm X stood outside of the black Baptist church
talking with members as they exit the church, that's was us...
The message was the same, "We have the truth and I will show you why".
JW is the truth....
