o m g...(yes that is a very childish reaction...but i couldn't think of a more appropriate expression!).
if you haven't yet read it...please do so..... it is so ridiculous!
so leading, so distorted, and full of "bait and switch" techniques.. "prove you have the truth"..by seeing how neutral witnesses were in war times?
my mom told me yesterday, 'you need to read this weeks study article, its shows us how to know if we have the truth.'
and so I GUESS I better humor her, and have a laugh myself, better arm myself with two highlighters, and a note book, and some tylenol...
SOWHATNOW "Let me guess Mom....the article uses unprovable reasonings and connect the dot scriptures that lead the reader to conclude theirs is the true religion...right? "

Typically, the Society only reports this kind of news when disaster befalls JW's who STAYED HOME from an assembly or meeting, making it seem as though they'd have been spared had they attended like they were supposed to. They'll just chalk this accident up to "time and unforseen occurances" .
posted on a jw site!.

famous quote from wuthering heights revised.. '... i am jw.org!
it's always, always in my mind: not as a pleasure, any more than i am always a pleasure to myself, but as my own being.
so don't talk of our separation again: it is impracticable...'.
omg Outlaw - haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa the running shoes!!!! You are a classic, man!
...and you know they are saying the JW.Org running shoes are intended to help you to "win the race for life and endure to the end".
Rather than being a photo of an actual pendant made with a JW slogan on it, the slogan on the pendant in the opening post looks it's photoshopped to me. If you enlarge the photo you can see that the letters are transparent and the shine is only on the pendant underneath the letters rather than on the letters. It looks like they photoshopped the JW slogan onto a photo of a pendant. I'm not convinced that anyone is really selling such an item.
has any one ever pondered the artists rendering of jesus and the 2 'criminals' beside him?
wth upright bodies?
no blood,.
There was always the question of how Jesus hands didn't rip through from bearing the weight of his body, but how anyone, perfect or not, could stay conscious and then have a conversation after having a spike driven through his hands and the instep of his feet, is beyond me.
hi guys,.
have a listen to this short story and if you're so inclined, say what line or lines of this story resonated with you in regard to your jw experience.. i linked this story 3 ways in hopes one of them will work for you.. thanks !

Wow...The line that struck me was her feelings once she decided to leave her church and to quit selling Mary Kay Cosmetics.
"It really cost me....I lost my identity....I lost my belonging....I lost the ability to ever be that certain or righteous about anything ever again"
I'm going to memorize that line and take it as my own because it describes exactly how it is for me now.
a poster on another thread reminded me of when there was a 15 min.
break between the talk and the wt study on sundays.
the break was supposed to be to allow jw's time to drive their bible studys home from the talk.
I remember the 15 minute break after the public talk. At our Hall they said it was done so they could set up the microphones.
Then there was the urban ledgend where the Chairman got up after the talk and thanked the speaker for his very fine discourse and continued, saying that before the Watchtower study began, there would be a 15 minute intercourse while the microphones were being set up. LOL

This is a new concept to me. Can you explain how it works and what proof there is that it happens?
it has been a long time.. thanks to jw.org, i was reading some jw material (what does the bible teach i believe).
it was the first time reading a "book study" book in many years and i was blown away by the controlling, cultish writing.
this question especially struck me as manipulative: do you believe that we are living in the last days, and why?.
Things have got to get a lot worse....before they get worse.
