  JW yo momma jokes

  by in a new york bethel minute in

  2. humour

  i just thought these up... feel free to add more.. yo momma is so old that she remembers when jesus invisibly returned.

  yo momma is so lazy she auxilliary pioneered one month and didn't even meet the national average.

  yo momma is so fat, she was the reason why the society stopped serving food at the conventions.

  the firm and JW's

  the firm (tom cruise) is one of my favourite movies.

  maybe because sometimes i feel like i can relate to it, except in a religious sense.

  has anyone else watched this movie and empathised with the main character because of their jw upbringing??.

  holy spirit and JW's... are they way off or what???

  by in a new york bethel minute in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i remember a talk about 10 years ago about how we were not supposed to pray for a "portion" of holy spirit... and that, even though it is not a person and it's just his active force, it's not distributed in portions... you either have it or you don't.

  but i notice a lot of witnesses still pray to god and ask for a portion of his holy spirit.

  i find this very offensive and ignorant... anybody else notice this and how i can approach a jw about the proper way to pray about this matter???.

  re-post for ALL LURKERS TO BOYCOTT in Feb...

  .

  this was a post in the "friends" section but i think it's important and a really good idea.. but it's gonna get washed away by other topics... .

  how about every lurker on here and all others spreading the news that unhappy jw's worldwide are to do a general boycott of all jw related activities (meetings, fs, etc) in for the entire month of february 2006. would be interesting to see what happens to the us average publishers for that month... come on just be irregular for one month!.

  it was fun!

  the only thing that sucked about it was the fact that i had no idea how to wrap a gift... late 20's and i've never wrapped a present before????

  hahaha only in the jw faith is that possible!!!

  jw's and verbal/written hit-and-runs...

  by in a new york bethel minute in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  seems like every day i have less and less jw friends... but every so often i'll receive an email or msn message from one saying something witnessy, only to not be able to reply to it because that person has blocked my messages.

  anyone else notice this trend?

  it seems to me that fearful or insecure people do stuff like that... they have plenty so say, but with no ears to hear anything back.... bethel

  Defd, why do witnesses practice infant baptism?

  by in a new york bethel minute in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  instead of highjacking an earlier thread on young ones getting baptized, i thought i'd just start a new one and ask our favourite dub lurker why his faith practices infant baptism.

  and defd, if you feel that a 7 or 8 or even 12 year old isn't an infant with regards to making major decisions, i would like to hear your explanation.

  why do witnesses call the new testament "greek scriptures"?

  by in a new york bethel minute in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  anybody know how the witnesses managed to demonize the expression, "new testament/old testament"?

  my jw mother said "it's because when you call the hebrew scriptures the old testament, it makes them sound out of date, but they're really not because there is so much we can learn from blah blah blah blah blah blah".

  any thoughts?.

  ummmmmm just a reminder to all of us apostates... the end is soooooooooooooooooooooooo close now.

  it's incredible how goddam close we are to the end.

  wow the society really is giving appropriate warning and if we don't follow it, it's our own fault.
