  Give All The Ways JWs Are Different From The "World" aka "Normal People"

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my daughter was telling me yesterday that she was explaining the differences between jehovah's witnesses and other religions to her co-workers.

  she explained that witnesses can't date "worldly" people-----only fellow witnesses.

  she said jws don't celebrate birthdays because they are "pagan".......it dawned on my daughter that it was very incredible all the things jehovah's witnesses don't believe in or will not do.....can you think of different things that only jws do or do not do??

  If their car breaks down on the way to the assembly, they blame Satan. If anyone else's car breaks down, they blame the manufacturer or themselves.

  What's the most ridiculous thing you were ever counselled on?

  by micheal in

  1. jw

  one of the cornerstones of jw's is counsel.

  they just love to give counsel and many times they will literally make things up just for the sake of counsel.

  i was once counselled for joking around too much.

  I was actually counselled to shave more closley. Which means I had to go from an electric razor to a manual one.

  Crazy thing to counsel someone on but in hindsight I have used and much prefer the manual razor since then, which was some 10 years ago. As smooth as a baby's bottom.

  Stupidest thing a JW ever told you

  what is the stupidest thing a jw ever told you?

  we all know that they say a lot of stupid things, but what really topped the cake?.

  for me, it was an elder telling me i was progressing really well when my meeting attendance was down and my field service hours were slipping.

  I was told the reason some JW parents are verbally abusive towards their children was because they are targets of Satan, thus the pressure satan puts on "god's people" forces them to be verbally abusive to their children.

  I kid you not

  JW's would rather see their own child die than have them recieve a blood transfusion to save their life. Now that just ain't normal folks.

  So, what's stopping you from going to the hall?

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  2 elders came to my door today, at noon sharp, and i opened the door to let them in.

  they didn't want to come in, so they stood at the door and asked me, "what's stopping you from coming to the hall"?

  they only come once a year and always around christmas time.

  It's no longer the truth to me

  Ditto - If I believed they had the truth, I would be there all the time. But there is way too much evidence against them having this truth. So then, why go and sacrifice your entire friggin life for absolutley nothing at all?

  use the scriptures at Romans 13:13 and 1 Thessalonians 5:7 to state that badness only happens at night.

  This is a classic example of how ridiculous this organization is. I mean this is on my top 10 list of most idiotic things I have ever heard!! Have they never heard of afternoon delight?
