by wonderer2003 in

the jw's have been back at my door a couple of times since my first post.. she gave me watchtowers and showed me books and literature from the jw cd, i said i would give her something to read when she came back.

she returned today with more medical stuff printed from her cd, so i gave her the stuff i got through the internet (thankfully alot of it was pages i found through this forum).

this is how the conversation went.. jw: afternoon.

I hope she returns but from what I have read in this thread, it doesn't look very likely.

If she does I will post again

The JW's have been back at my door a couple of times since my first post.

She gave me Watchtowers and showed me books and literature from the JW cd, I said I would give her something to read when she came back. She returned today with more medical stuff printed from her cd, so I gave her the stuff I got through the internet (Thankfully alot of it was pages I found through this Forum)

This is how the conversation went.

jw: Afternoon

me: Hi, Sorry I can't chat long today the plumber is in, but if you have more for me to read i will look it over, Here is the info I printed.

jw: Sorry to keep you back, but could I ask where you got it from.

me: Yes the internet.

jw: Was it the official watchtower.com page.

me: No. Does it matter.

jw: Yes if it is not from the official page I can't read it. It is from Xjw's who write poison.

me: No actually it isn't poison it does not say anything about any Xjw only about your literature. it is full of facts and figures and dates.

jw: These things are written by X jw's.

me: It shouldn't matter if you have complete trust in your faith you should not be afraid to read it. You learn about other peoples religions so you can point out the WRONG bits to them, so why dont you accept the same.

jw: Oh! no we don't. I will read the bit about Carl Sagan but I wont read the rest.

me: Well take it with you, if you dont want to read it put it in the bin. If you are brainwashed then thats where it will go. Sorry have to go plumber is calling me.

jw: Do you want these pages back

me: No.

jw: Bye, will call again when you have more time.

me: okay, Thanks for the literature.

Well, will she read it or won't she. She has been a JW all her life. Do you think she is better of and happier in her ignorance. I feel sorry for here, and she me.

IF she does come back and hasn't read the stuff, I will have to tell her not to come back, how can you win an arguement with someone who won't read or listen to two sides of a story.

Time Magazine's Cover Story June 30: Another WT Myth Exposed

by Room 215 in

.

another item for the ``things -you'll never -read-about -in -awake!

" category: check out the cover story of the june 30 time magazine, ``missionaries under cover," and compare it to the image of ``spiritually bankrupt" faithless christendom with its ``do-nothing parishoners," laziness and rampant immorality fostered by the narrow, self-centered watchtower world view.. no need to summarise the article here; suffice it to say that it demolishes the wt claims that they alone are fulfilling the command to preach the good news, that they have a monopoly on faith and courage in the face of death or that nobody but they are persecuted for those reasons.

I have an earache:

2000 B.C. - Here, eat this root.

1000 A.D. - That root is heathen. Here, say this prayer.

1850 A.D. - That prayer is superstition. Here, drink this potion.

1940 A.D. - That potion is snake oil. Here, swallow this pill.

1985 A.D. - That pill is ineffective. Here, take this antibiotic. 2003 A.D. - That antibiotic is artificial. Here, eat this root.

Sick of it

i am not a jw, i am 100% free to choose born and raised.

well let me get to my story, i have no problem with jw, my wife who i love with all my heart is though.

she was raised in it and didnt have much choice due to a dominating mother in the truth, and at 16 got baptized by pressure, we have 3 young children who attend meetings but i made it very clear that they will choose there own way, i dont worry because she is a believer but still has her own mind.
