It is said that man has three basic needs in life: Love,purpose and significance...These things will be taken away in Paradise, you will know your purpose (serve the sky GOD). Scientist, Archaeologist, college professor and high school teachers, forget it no need you will know it all.

Occupations that will disappear
by joker inwhile growing up in the cult one thing that always bothered me was the way witnesses could forecast jobs/occupations that we're going to vanish in their new world.. for example, we would usually discuss at saturday night wt studies how doctors, nurses, funeral directors, and soldiers would go the way of the dodo.
i always found discussions like that just so strange.. in hs, i mounted an unsuccessful effort to enter veterinary sciences, the big answer was always "why" it won't be needed after armageddon 😝😜.
does anyone have their own story about professions that the witnesses believe will not be needed after the big a ?.

The day after Armageddon
by Pronger1 injws are scattered across the globe.
a few million people left, pretty isolated from each other.. telephone lines and power goes down since the people who supported the infrastructure are dead.
communication across town, state, country, etc is cut off.

OK, this is what will happen. First of all no communication with the GB so the brothers here on the west coast USA wagons east, they will have no idea what to do. They will head east to the branch, but first they will need to learn how to hitch up a team of mules, build a wagon and how to drive a team of mules. Now this may take about 40 years to reach the east coast. You still have the problem with brother reading a compass, maybe 20 years to reach their destination depending on the weather. Brothers will need to learn how to shoe their mules, pack food and water for a very long trip. When they reach the branch they will become slaves for the GB. One other thing, they will need to learn how to dig holes to relieve themselves.. Why does this sound so familiar........

Let's compare, shall we
by LevelThePlayingField inif you did a news search on google news today, jan. 15, 2017 what would you find it you typed in "jehovah's witnesses"?
i did an analysis of news searches under the main christian religions in the us and this is what i found:.
if you click on google news and type in the following religions' names and then look at the news headline for each of the and description with out actually clicking on it, but just just what google provides for a clip or snipet of information and then click on the next page and the next page until you got to 5 pages down in the news for today (jan 15, 2017) this is what i found for those news mentioning anything about "sexual abuse" of any kind per religion.. mormon 0 and latter day saints 0. catholic 1. presbyterian 0. lutheran 0. methodist 0. episcopal 0. protestant 0. evangelical 0. unitarian 0. jehovah's witnesses 6. pretty interesting that the jw's get more about sexual abuse than any other major religion in the us isn't it?

You know what the average JW will say, "We are under attack by Satan, that proves we are Jehovah's organization"..

Is this a normal JW practice? Warning, this will be a bit graphic.
by Sequoia inthis post may be disturbing and i apologize, but i'm just trying to find out if this is a practice the jw teaches.
i was taken advantage of by a guy claiming to be a jw preacher.
he took me to his house supposedly so i could give his daughter piano lessons, and then he basically forced himself on me while telling me he was in love with me and wanted to marry me.

"Don't listen to apostates!!"
by Schnufti innext time a jw says that to me, i will ask him to read the following from "what does the bible really teach":.
watchtower itself uses this illustration.
so why is it that they throw apostates out of the congregation?.

Satan the first Apostate, "in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil". What happen when our eyes were opened, a lot of BS......We have a lot in common with MR Satan.

This one you will never hear. Ezekiel 23;20 She lusted after her lovers whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses.

Jesus: Preaching in the 21st century
by RULES & REGULATIONS in''i liked it better 2000 years when i preached in synagogues,in the fields,by the sea,in the temples,on mountaintops and valleys.now,i've been reduced to making small talk and handing out leaflets to our summer convention titled,''remain loyal to jehovah.''.
''this stupid convention is 80 miles away,3 full days in the middle of summer,bagging your own lunch,paying for hotel and food,and ''making sure you do not reserve seats.''.
'' i hope no one answers the door.''.

Knock, knock..
Who's there?
Jesus.....
Householder: Open the door. Jesus you are back, Is this the end of days?
Jesus: Not yet, I need to get more hours in the door work, the preaching work hasn't reach everyone, maybe in the next generation...
Householder: WTH , why are you knocking on doors?
Jesus: The GB told me we don't care who you say you are, they told me to grab a cart or knock on some doors you have been demoted. Man, things have changed since I been away..

Is it OK for JW employees to sell lottery tickets?
by Iamallcool ini do remember reading an article that it is not ok for jw to sell cigarettes at gas stations, etc... i was wondering what about lottery tickets?
they do sell lottery tickets at few restaurants around my home.
if jw works there and rats me out to the elders, i would not give a damn about it but i still prefer not to hear from the elders about it..

Letter to the branch: Brothers I'am DF's and I have two months to live. I would like to leave my assets to the WT organization, a small fortune. Since I'am not in good standing can I be reinstated before I die or will you accept my large offering form a DF's person?...... Letter from the GB: MY Brother!!!!!

How long did people like Methuselah really live?
by dubstepped ini was working today and my brain was working in circles like it often does and i started wondering about what i was always told about people like methuselah in bible times, and their incredibly claims of longevity.
i've tried researching things but have a hard time getting through all of the bible thumpers to some real evidence, and figured that some here may be more informed or have done the research previously.
so, did people really live longer way back when?

Noah was 600 when the flood happened, Methuselah was 600 + 369=969. So he died around the time of the flood or he treaded water for a few days. A stupid story I must say, and I believed these stories..
