since the jws main mission in their miserable lives is to 'preach the good news of the kingdom', why is is that there is really no means to interact with the wts website?.
certainly, many pioneers could be engaged in the activity of answering the many enquiries that would be directed through such an 'official' discussion board, and it would definitely be a means for the pioneers of accumulating many precious hours of witnessing to those 'hungering for the truth'.. surely the society couldn't believe that such a site would be inundated with doubting and disgruntled individuals with an 'axe to grind' with them.
i am sure that there would be many members here who would have many sincere enquiries to make with the society, without wanting to disrupt, or harass.
They don't have a discussion forum because it would probably turn into a forum like this..
discussion forum.. leads to expressed personal ideas and thoughts..
Doesn't sound like anything the J.W.'s would even consider..

If they had a discussion board.. we would all swamp it.. and many J.W. discussioners would fall away from the religion.

did anyone see the recent questions from readers that cautions against about using gift registries for you wedding?
no joke.
sept 1, 2003.whether a couple who are getting married wish to use a gift registry is a matter for personal decision.
Another two edged statement..
Yes you Can..
but
No you can't..

i am so in the dark.
i do not know what's going on and, quite frankly, i don't care to.
perhaps there is bliss in ignorance.
Hmm
most time a silent Observer..
If it's my kids in a feud.. I am forced to involve myself..
If its on here.. I don't have to involve myself.. but read as silent observer.
or sometimes now I just skip that topic and thread.. because I DON"T HAVE TIME!!

over the years it has become clear that controlling bodies seeking to regulate their members are prone to inconsistencies, even contradictions.. .
the borg is not immune from that.. .
why is it that wedding rings are allowed, but confetti isn't?.
Good topic.. ozzie
I like talesin's and can't figure out as we;; ..
"Why do some talk to DFd ones, and others shun?"
"Why do J.W.'s think they are the only ones who can INTERPRET The bible.
You know, they remind me of some English Teachers that my 16 year old has had.. They say, READ this .. and interpret in your own words what it means to you.
Then when you do that .,, the teacher says..Sorry, kiddo.. what you write is wrong. It is interpretted.. this way..
Why ask someone for their opinion and then tell them their opinions are obsolete and not valid.. DA!!!
J.W.'s say... that so many things are a conscious matter.. and then WHACK you if you use YOUR Conscience to guide you.

The hyprocrisy in J.W. religion stumbled me right out of the J.W.'s..
does this make you think of looking at the pictures in all of the publications?
images from this guy make me think of the witnesses.
i'm just wondering if anyone else gets the same weird feeling when they look at this.. http://www.chayan.com/phototheque/chutes/chu_003.htm
Some people really like this kind of art..
However, for me .. I can't ever imagine ever buying any one of these pictures..
I tried to picture (in my mind) any of these pictures hanging in my house..
NOPE!!!! Just not what dreams are made of for me.
The artistry may be well done.. but the after affect of digesting the picture..leaves a very bad taste.

every once in a while we get disturbed or annoyed over something that takes place here.
for a change, let's express reasons why we're happy to be here.......i'll give one reason amongst many.
there are so many enlightening posters here!
I like this site because people here speak a J.W. language that I know.
I like it here because I can talk and hear from peers who have been hurt by J.W.'s.. just like me.

it's a proven fact!!

hey--i could really use some input from parents and kids at heart.. i am volunteering to do a story time this saturday.
i am supposed to read whatever i want to the kids for an hour.
i left a message that i would take requests for stories, but so far no one has made any suggestions.. i am just wondering what some of you would suggest i read.
My 8 year old son is heavy into
Junie B. Jones .. series. A preschool/primary school child who tends to get in ALOT of trouble with adjusting to school. Very funny from a 7 and 8 year old perspective to read about a 4-5 year old.
The magic tree house...series . Jack and annie, two kids have a magic tree house and when they go there it can tranport them to different times and countries.
The Dr Seuss book about the elephant that sits on the bird nest, while the bird goes on vacation for a break.
"Zack the Alligator" was a favourite.. It is about a boy, whose Uncle sends him an alligator key chain from florida with instructions to keep it well watered. He does, and the alligator grows and grows and he sneaks it out of the house and takes it to the park etc. The alligators attacks the garden hose, because he thinks it's a snake.. He bites the tire on the mailmans delivery truck too.
best of luck
