The other day my sister told me her church house 13 families (single women with children). How would the conversation go???

Let's pick Michael Moore for the moderator.

(Moore) Mr Clergy how is your church giving back to humanity, charities.? (Clergy) We house 13 families,the men in our church feed the homeless,we provide scholarships,after school tutoring, and we feed the homeless in out church basement. (Moore) Mr GB member, same question. (GB)We offer free bible study, so with our publication and bible study you will become a productive member of society. If you don't work you don't eat. (Moore) Mr GB what about the children, they are to young to work. (GB) That's the parents fault. We are preparing people for paradise. Why do you think we knock on your doors our carts on the streets, this world is doomed. Our WT and Awakes are the best thing for mankind today

(Moore) Didn't you folks make a ton of money from the sale of your HQ in N.Y???? (GB)We need that money for the printing of our publication that no one reads... (Moore) Are you insane??????

What happen to all the gold?? 'Genesis 2:11,12 "the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold.And the gold of that land is good. Bdellium and the onyx stone are here." Forget the tree of life, give me the gold.

Reaching out vs opportunist in your congregation.

by James Mixon in

i really believe paul was a opportunist, we only have paul's words that christ chose him and the conflict and out right rejection and animosity between paul and several of the disciples chosen..i knew a few brothers that were opportunist, they didn't give a crap about (supposedly) jehovah's organization.

most i knew were trying to do the right thing, but the paul's disciples were a different breed.

one way you could tell when there is a problem in the family this brother is never called but if you have a grudge against someone you call paul's disciple, a hard ass for jehovah..... paul may have been the most sensible character in the bible but when he mention he was bitten by a poisonous snake and healed himself, well i wonder..

You're welcome ...

by Simon in

i figured i'd shut the site down for a couple of hours to encourage everyone to do their xmas shopping.

the error message was a subtle hint, that's what "500 error" means ... go shopping.. whatever rumours you hear, it definitely wasn't that someone deployed a quick update before going on a 1.5 hour car ride to pick someone up and didn't think that the page they tested, to check it was all working after the update, happened to be cached.

no siree bob, not that, na hah.. anyway, you're welcome for the extra chance to, erm, shop..

i panic, like sir82 i thought it was the Russkies or Jehovah's GB.....

Disassociation - shunning - can we all lobby Government that it is against freedom of religion?

by stockholm_Syndrome in

if jws want to inflict shunning on members who want to remain -- knock yourselves out.

but if someone wants to leave - dont believe in an evil almighty god, bible ...or just dont agree with the rules- they should be free to leave- even after being 'disfellowshipped'.

i think it was pre 1980 that you could disassociate yourself without shunning repercussions.

James Mixon

We have laws, buying a car , home, medicine and etc. to protect the consumer. Why not mandate laws for religious organization and cults, they must spell out before you join what will happen if you leave. This will protect both parties, no way a person can come back and say i wasn't aware I could lose my family. If a contract is put before you before you join, it may make you think this is serious I better read the fine lines.

Jehovah is unjust (outrageous article on slavery in last WT for public)

by Master_Bob in

according to the last paragraph of the article entitled "escape from slavery—then and now" (wt#2, 2017).

jehovah god felt grieved by the harsh treatment of israelite slaves in egypt; he must feel the same way about similar injustice today.. .

if you call modern slavery "injustice", wasn't the slavery during moses time also "injustice"?

James Mixon

blondie:"because the Law regulated it". I knew a sister who told me she attend the meetings when blacks were told to sit in the back, it was the law. I was shocked , not Jehovah's organization. That when I began to have doubts. They are cherry picking when to abide by the law....

Kingdumb songs, will they someday make the top 25 Religious Hymns???

by James Mixon in

amazing grace have been around since 1779, how great thou art 1885,holy holy holy 1826, be thou my vision (ireland) 6th century, all creatures of god and king (italy)1225. so you think one day we will hear a kingdumb song playing over the radio.

you would think surely jehovah want the world to be familiar with his hymns.... maybe they have instructed the rf to only sing their songs in the kh, only for special folks..

James Mixon

"some of them are surprisingly funky, in a crappy sort of way". I guess I need to hear the new songs.LOL

Im Going To Approach A Witnessing Cart Today

by pale.emperor in

the city in which i work is flooded with those witnessing carts.

today im going to approach one of them and pretend i dont know what they believe.

gonna try and record it if i can.

James Mixon

If I became a JW and later I found out it's not for me what happen, can we still remain friends. I have heard some terrible stories about shunning family members.
