"in minnesota, a man said to his visitors: "i saw you coming, so i went to get this book.

" he held up a bible teach book and said that when he was in prison, he stole the book.

Ex- Jehovers Witnesses finds Christ...

recentley i read ray franz book " christian freedom" and it occurd to me if he had lost his faith and become athiest the society would have delighted in that.

i think had ray turned athiest it would have been more easily " justified" in the mags what a " evil man he was" ....but maintaining his faith left the possibillity the society could be wrong.. .

i am athiest but i kept this to myself when i left... any comments?.

i found the meetings to be especially boring from the late 1980s on.

before that, we actually tried to make people want to listen.

the meetings were pretty interesting.

Are Jehovah's Witnesses Scottish?
by RottenRiley in

my experience with jws, often they were very frugal and cheap, willing to use my car in field circus every weekend.

why are jehovah's witnesses so dense and obtuse when it comes to sharing costs and contributing?

has the topic of district convention 'tight-ass cheap-skating' jehovah's witnesses been talked about?

Is this really a place for Jehovah's Witnesses/Friends

1. jw
2. friends
i ask this because i was considering rejoining and the stories i have read only remind me of what was done to me.

is there any clean place to go where good people and fellowship can be had.

it sounds like maybe the people here should get together and start there own thing, like the reorganized latter day saints.
