  I wonder what is going on with my JW daughters. My topic a few weeks ago

  "after 15-20 years my daughter called" she and my new son-in law, my granddaughters,

  my other JW daughter and family (she never cut me off) came for a visit. My JW elder brother

  encouraged her( the daughter I haven't seen in 15-20 years) to come and see me.

  Maybe they didn't get the memo..

  My none JW family members ask me have I talk to my daughter since the visit. I'am

  hope she don't go back into her JW mode, new light I must cut you off again.

  That's why I haven't called her. The emotional roller coaster is to much..

  Man, I hate that cult.

  Kids continue to leave in droves - so what is the organization's grand plan? This

  jws have one of the worst, if not the worst, retention rates among their kids.

  i've seen numbers from 65% to 88% who leave, never to return.. you'd think this would be a priority amongst the leadership, right?

  where do tomorrow's leaders come from, if the vast majority of kids leave the organization?

  Young person on their way to the beach or mountains for the day and pass

  a cart worker or someone knocking at your door on a beautiful Saturday morning

  offering the WT and they think, oh boy that's what I desire to spend the day handing

  out WT. My poor kids, knocking on their classmates doors while their classmates are

  heading to a football game , beach, mountains on a lovely day.

  We laugh about it today, how embarrassing for them......

  JW Cart Witnessing = ONE BIG JOKE

  by Black Man in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  was talking to a good buddy of mine a couple days ago (we pioneered and were in bethel together and have both left the cult a few years ago), about the current cart and d. and the consensus was that it is now a complete joke.

  was watching a couple witnesses last week sit at a table with their literature display.

  no approaching people for conversation, no initiating stimulating dialogue with passerbys, as was encouraged when i "pioneered" back in the day.

  "You think the average JW knew nothing before", maybe they are the ones approved

  by the service committee to sit aimlessly for hours. I wonder what are the qualification to

  sit and do nothing.

  The door to door work was great for exercising the cart work not so good for the body.

  I hated the door to door walk but if I was still a JW I would love the cart work , count

  your hours and never speak to anyone.LOL

  Jehovah: I be damn, they are trying to unite down there I can't have that. Where is Satan, call

  him and tell him I have a assignment for him..I will bring peace on earth when I say so. This

  UN thing will not take any credit in peace on earth, not in my life time.

  I would hate to sit down in a game of poker with God and he deals the cards....

  JWs on Jeopardy! . . . really this time.

  by neat blue dog in

  2. beliefs

  i know there was a crazy false urban legend years ago about jeopardy saying the nwt was the most accurate bible, but on tonights episode they really were mentioned.

  the clue went something like 'this religion was started by charles taze russell and publishes the watchtower'.

  a player buzzed in a she said 'who are the jehovah's witnesses'.

  I was told that Adam was the first JW, but he was DF and when I say he was DF I mean

  he was DF. The poor guy was kicked out of his home. Hell Moses was a JW long

  before Russell, that's what I was told.....

  It amaze me how they (JW) make these extraordinary claims about what the brothers go

  through to attend the meetings. I knew a brother a Maya in Central America,

  when he attended the mid week meeting he and his family would visit my family and play

  the video games after the meeting. So I ask him one day, you are not concern for the safety

  for your family while traveling in a dory in alligators infested waters at nights?

  He told me he have lived all his life in the bush, it's no big deal. He said he would be more

  afraid attending the meetings in the big cities where he may get mugged, he knows the alligators

  he was not concern..

  Gen. 6:4 and Numbers 13:33 is a big problem for believers.

  Gen.6;4 the Nephilim (giants). After the flood in

  Num.13:33 "So Nephilim translated "giants, They saw the giants the descendants of

  Anak came from the giants (Nephilim).
