announced at my parents service meeting last night

So the poor Ministerial Servants will have to run the congregations for that week. There will be many missing the meetings that week. The pioneer sisters will be taking the lead and the elder's wives will feel special and make like they know the school program. The local friends will be hanging out at the coffee shops trying to get some info from the pioneer gosssipers.

When the Elders return many will want to invite them into their homes for food and alcoholic drinks to try and get loose lips to give it up, what's the lastest etc.

Why Are Jehovah's Witnesses NOT "The Truth"???

by minimus in

jw
friends

list your reasons why you can say that the witnesses clearly do not have "the truth".

Blueblades

I would ask them two questions. 1) What Is The Most Important Scripture in Watchtower Theology? Answer: Matthew 24: 45 - 47.

2) What Is The Most Important Event In Watchtower History? Answer: Jesus' Decision In The Spring Of 1919 To Appoint or Not To Appoint them as

The Faithful and Discreet Slave.

Then if allowed to continue, I would review the past history from 1818 to 1919 and let them answer the two questions for themselves. At the least they would have something to think very strongly and emotionally about. The rest would be up to them and I would be there for them to follow up and help ease them through it.

Will the JW's get a new CEO???

by horrible life in

jw
friends

when a team has a couple or more losing seasons, they fire the head coach.

when a company starts losing money, the shareholders want a new ceo.

when a company keeps making mistakes, and the ceo, is taking the company, in a direction that the shareholders don't agree with, they get a new ceo.

J.R.Brown will never step down. He is Watchtower Media Spokesperson.

Hi Mini! As you already know. Crises of Conscience, Captives of a Concept, Blood on the Altar, Gentile Time Reconsidered, JWD, and the many other books from outside the organization and info on UN, Blood, Child Abuse, Personel experiences with my family and other families. 1919 farce and most of all, and this is key, because you 'Minimus' left.

MINIMUS CONDUCTS THE WATCHTOWER!

by WT Comments in

jw
friends

this week begins a very special feature of wt comments.. the visiting speakers.

check in on thanksgiving for this week's lesson, deliverance from the traps of the birdcatcher.

conducted by our very own minimus.. .

Blueblades

V / WT. Comments. You do realize that Minimus has to go over all the Watchtower questions first before he starts to conduct. Then he will change those questions into the kind of unique questions that he always asks here on JWD. Minimus is the great questionnaire. The Watchtower can't hold a candle to him when it comes to questions. The meat of the Watchtower study is in the questions.

Mimimus will ask the real questions, get to the real meat, that will penetrate the lies in the normal Watchtower study.

The downside of no longer being a JW

by Quandry in

jw
friends

we have discovered a downside to no longer being a jw.

as we were washing clothes today, my husband remarked that since we no longer attend meetings, we are not constantly sending suits and dresses to the dry cleaners and alas, we no longer get hangers and are going to have to (gasp) buy some!

what down sides can you think of?.

Blueblades

The downside point being made here by Quandry is a joke . We know that there is no downside with leaving JW's. My response earlier is a joke. Going out and having fun instead of going to the meetings is no downside, it's meant to be a joke.

The MIstake Witnesses Will Make On March 10, 2008

the mistake jehovahs witnesses .

are going to make .

on sunday, march 10, 2008. .

Hi Don! Your book "Captives of a Concept" understanding the Illusionary concept that holds Jehovah's Witnesses captive is for me the best approach to help examine the 1919 teaching. It is what the society was teaching years before 1919 that Jesus' supposedly examined and found that they were the only ones that lived up to his examination and so passsed the test and were then appointed over all his belongings in 1919.

The March 10 2008 Watchtower study will once again take over the decision making process and even their conscience with out them realizing it. We need to try and help them identify both the concept and the mistake that causes them to become captives to this Illusionary concept that Jesus' appointed the Watchtower society as his representative here on earth.

An examination of the true past history will do this. Your book needs more publicity. Btt it back to the top. New ones and lurkers coming here every day are not aware of the information. So, I suggest that you post your site with the information on it about this book once again for the new ones and lurkers. That is why JWD is here, to give an opportunity for those who are looking for answers to their questions about the truth about the Watchtower's past history. You along with the many here have such information to share. The Watchtower itself said that it is the loving thing to do.

Were You Approachable in the Congregation?

by compound complex in

jw
friends

greetings, friends:.

did you - with or without holding an official position in the congregation - find that those needing to talk gravitated toward you?

did those individuals who unburdened themselves feel better after talking with you?

Blueblades

Very much so. I was a local Elder and the friends would come to me and call me. I have a wife and two boys who the friends loved very much. Only one Bethel Elder and one other local Elder out of twelve were sought out by the friends. I was the only Elder who had a family.I was assigned to the sick and elderly ones and families.

I was also the Watchtower study conductor and had the book study in our home. The friends wanted to be at our bookstudy. Some would stop by from their bookstudy and come over to our bookstudy. No one was in a rush to leave after our bookstudy was over. I conducted the bookstudy. Even the Bethelites would hang around for a while and relax with us and their rides would wait with them.

Back in the day, yes, it was fun to be a JW. We had gatherings, parties, outings, the lakes, baseball, football, sports, games, then it all came to a stop.
