You wear tight pants and you will be in trouble

i was reading in another forum, that a letter to the elders instructed them to speak to anybody who persists in wearing tight pants.

if changes don't happen then the instructions are to disqualify him from being a publisher but it won't be announced to the congregation.

i am am curious to see if this letter will surface.

KateWild

Lol hahaha......the rules are really getting stupid now.

Jwfacts thanks for the letter.

Wow... There More Closet Faders Than I Thought

by pale.emperor in

yep, im still fading.

i know it's gonna be a long and meticulous process but so far it's going well.

isnt it funny how when you stop reading the material and stop thinking yourself of being unworthy all the time - eventually you get happier and happier each day and see the world around you the way it is?

KateWild

You sound like you're taking the right steps. Hope you stop the school soon. Keep us informed.

my name is jimbo, i'm almost 20 years old, and i live in southern california.

here we go, here's my story (i feel like i'm in an aa meeting haha):.

i was invited by a friend who, looking back, i could tell was buttering me up for months so she can lunge on the perfect opportunity to invite me to a meeting.

Welcome to the board. No words really trigger me......but when I hear exJWs use the term "the truth" I don't like it as WT is false and full of lies.

Ideas for cult cart questions.

by aboveusonlysky in

jw
friends

feel free to drive on if this subject has been posted before.. the 'bible teach' book is usually always on the cult cart so i thought it could make for an an easy intro for some counter witnessing.. just pick one up and start reading chapter 1, if the dubs are following instructions they will approach you.

chapter 1 is all about how great it is to ask questions, par 3 then says -.

"yet, many people have given up trying to find the answers.

KateWild

Great idea......I do that everytime I approach a trolley. I love that chapter......I then question them on the appendix about the coming of the Messiah and what historians confirm.

No one had yet to get their tablet or phone out to Google what historians confirm. But needles to say they don't confirm what the Bible teach book says they confirm.

I'm still on my JWN holidays but had to pop back to share this experience.

by nicolaou in

i'm a postman with the royal mail and was assigned to train a new starter yesterday.

my line manager introduces me to 'dave', within seconds my jw radar was on maximum!

in his mid to late 30's, politely spoken and with that haircut - i just knew it.. the post he'd applied for was saturdays only, he said he did a lot of volunteer work.

KateWild

Thanks for the update Nic. Shame you couldn't have got to know him better.

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

by cofty in

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....

KateWild

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

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?

KateWild

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

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.

KateWild

Great work Paul....... Very easy to read and you remain very factual.

Thanks
