  UKIP giving doorstep campaigns a bad name, insist Jehovah’s Witnesses

  by cofty in

  2. humour

  jehovah’s witnesses have today claimed that the concept of knocking on someone’s door and talking them into believing in the same crazy things as you could disappear thanks to right-wing bullshit....

  Old Hippie,

  It's satire humour. JWs didn't really comment.....someone is taking the piss.

  Jehovah Witness vs Jehovah's Witness

  by Simon in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  being brought up as a jehovah's witness means you are so used to the term that you rarely stop to think about it.. one thing i've noticed is that people unfamiliar with the religion will say "jehovah witness" (no 's) instead which i always found a bit grating.. but watching the us election, something struck me.

  people are often referred to as "trump supporters", not "trump's supporters" and so on.

  thinking about other things, people would say they were "united fan's", not "united's fans" and so on.. it seems weird that a group would refer to themselves as though it was someone else talking about them (in the 3rd person, if i have that right).. what do you think?

  It's just bad grammar. Bad grammar of any kind irritates me......especially in a potential partner and their literacy skills are worse than my kids.

  Jehovah witness does indeed annoy me.

  New Article - Watchtower View of Homosexuality

  by jwfacts in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have thought about writing this article for many years, and the awake!

  2014 no.4 was the final straw.

  there it states that jehovah's witnesses show no prejudice towards homosexuals, and "they neither mock nor mistreat people whose practices differ from their own.

  shutting down topics now?

  http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/5744214272901120/suicide-idea?page=3&size=10.

  i can't comment on this topic on either of my devices or multiple browsers.. so we're shutting down topics now are we?

  i'm assuming you've disabled commenting due to your feeling that it's a troll.

  Maybe it's just a cry for help and she needs some attention. Isn't that why we all come here to some degree.......for attention.

  My brother died last night

  by LisaRose in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i found out this morning that my brother died last night, he was also an ex jw, 73 years old and died of heart disease and kidney failure.

  it was not totally unexpected, as he had been in poor health, but it's a blow, especially as i just lost another brother two years ago.

  there were six of us, now only four.

  Great vid cofty. If you haven't read it yet Ben Goldacre wrote a book called bad science.

  He highlighted the points about control groups and that research without control groups was Bad Science.

  I'm getting baptized

  by BlackWolf in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know i've started similar topics before but this time i'm serious.

  my parents have been constantly pressuring me and after yesterday's watchtower study they asked me if i was going to be baptized this summer... and i said yes.

  i probably should have thought about it more before making a final decision, but they're pretty much forcing me to do it anyway.

  The two paths of exJWs

  by Simon in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  it's easy to think of exjws as being a single amorphous group but the more i think about it, the more i believe that there are two distinct sub-groups and wonder if you agree.. there are those who believe and those who don't.

  i know that seems obvious but let's break it down a bit more.

  there are those who don't and never believed and some who are looking for a religion to match their beliefs.. i used to think this split would be between born-ins and converts but of course it's possible for born-ins to be believers although i suspect that many, like with other faiths, do so simply because they have never experienced anything else or made a conscious choice.

  Some people who buy a new bike love their new bike and it makes them happy, so they want to sell more new bikes to others who rode their old bike with them once. They want to express how much better the new bike is. Especially if people want to drive trucks from now on.

  Simon, they mean no harm, and if all bikes are the same many will come to the same conclusion. But there will always be some who want to sell you a new bike.

  Is it so bad to have that side of the argument on your forum if it helps people learn how to drive a truck?
