  Who Pays The Ferryman....?

  by hillary_step in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  french philosopher blaise pascal once noted, "men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction.

  " a case study for this statement can clearly be evidenced by the governing body of jehovahs witnesses.. the gb present themselves as lovers of truth and righteousness who are the only persons on this planet who speak for god.

  this doctrine is at the very core of the beliefs of jehovahs witnesses and is one of the few that cannot be rationalized away by wts apologists.

  jwmatch.com

  i am surprised that there hasn't been a discussion here (not that i can find anyway) about jwmatch.com.

  not only are they self-proclaimed, "the world's largest witnesses online community!

  " (sound familiar?

  the writers of the simpsons must have had jw contacts.. think of ned flanders and his family, totally jw!!.

  think ofmr burns doesnt he look just like that evil elder who would always open the theocratic ministry school?.

  i am absolutely certain that fred hall is spitting image of mr burns, i can picture him so clearly in his grey raincoat and gold leaf dog eared bible walking hunchedup in the rain pestering people on a sunday afternoon.....

  Difficult moment in service

  by Drew in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was out in service last week and a gentleman (mid 40s, i'd say) asked me about 1975. i answered that it was overzealous brothers, etc... he was very insistent with me and i ended up telling him that i would get back to him after speaking to an elder for further clarification.

  have you guys ever encountered that?

  i heard about a similar situation once but i am wondering what the best way to handle it is.
