Perhaps the pinky ring is stumbling you? he should take it off just like the brothers who can't have beards because it might stumble somebody, or the ladies who can't dress normally because it will stumble the the men who cannot seem to concentrate on the (supposed) word of God being said at the meetings. -

I suggest you leave her some nice apostate literature on her pillow and see how much she appreciates that.
Carla, from the home should be neutral camp (eww, for goodness sakes! especially the bedroom!)

Why are JWs so against debate
by enigma1863 inif the jws follow proverbs 27:17 they should not be afraid of any tension or friction.. in order for iron to sharpen iron you need pressure, tension friction and a bit of heated debate..

They would have to stay on topic which is nearly impossible for a jw. They do not truly know or understand what they parrot at the doors. Get beyond the latest articles or ask to delve deeper and they get frustrated and change the subject. Or the ever famous, "I'll have to get back to you on that". They know a few proof texts and that is about it, no real understanding of anything and if it has been a 'new light' at any time forget it! they get all flustered and mad. Bible only? forget that too!

when you were a JW what did you do with your fortune cookie?? LOL
by James Mixon insomeone who is not familiar with jw none sense would think, are you.
serious, a fortune cookie.
is there a scripture that say you will be destroyed when.
-
carla
My jw will not touch a fortune cookie, lol! however he will toss one to me and ask me to read it as if I find some enjoyment out of them and it is not he that wants to hear it. Weird huh? it's ok as long as he is not the one actually touching the evil cookie and silly 'fortune'. Which reminds me to buy some Lucky Charms soon to see where he is at spiritually. Yeah, that's my measurement sometimes. He never passes that one!
Too bad the kids are gone and he can't steal their Halloween , Easter and Christmas candy.

This is a topic I am going to kill with my opening post.Why haven`t the Major religions of Christendom exposed J.W.`s as the true Apostates
by smiddy ini am initially thinking of the major religious institutions of christianity , catholic ,many branches , church of england , and the major protestant religions , too numerous to mention here.. after all their is 40,000 plus christian religions in the world today ?so obviously j.w.`s are not the only false religion .. so my real question is really , to do with the mainstream christian religions , why are`nt they more aggressive in their condemnation of the jehovah witness religion for their obvious failings ,flip backs ,contradictions ,prophecy`s that never eventuated , end of the world predictions ,re-inventing their past history , even distancing themselves from their past history , and their founding members , such as c.t.russell and j.f.rutherford whose policies they now reject... they need to get on board and bleed it for all it`s worth .. smiddy .

Many of the mainstream (and particularly the Evangelical type) have apologetic courses that do include cults and jw's are mentioned and talked about. However, because jw's are a cult most do not truly understand the subtle milieu of actually being in the borg.
In my opinion, one can discuss doctrinal issues and that is fine but to me the human cost of this cult and what it does to the emotional, spiritual and often physical part of ones being is the true cost that is often left unsaid. Due to the nature of cults and secrecy (not giving jah a bad name, etc...) people simply do not know the damage jw's can cause.
Some people just don't believe how traumatic being in the jw's can be. I know from first hand experience that they don't believe! after all, jw's carry a Bible, dress nicely and speak softly........ where is that poem that begins like that? anyway, I am always glad to see new anti jw books out there because the public is simply not aware. The more negative publicity about them the better. The crazy conventions, literature, video and so forth that comes forward the more people will look at them like Scientology or some other group with negative publicity.

Cant we put financial pressure on the Borg?
by 1tMakesNoSence inwhy dont everyone just start taking publications, asking for more and just say you don't have any money.
.
if everyone does this, can't we put some significant financial pressure on the borg?.

Don't individual jw's have to pay for their mags? if that is the case it won't hurt the wt at all, just the individual jw and their household. -

The public at large needs to know that the wt knowingly and willingly will send pedophiles to knock on their doors. Most don't believe it and my jw believes that all pedo's are df'd, he is totally clueless as are most jw's I suspect. -

Our hall is asking for money...
by thedepressedsoul ini guess the branch isn't happy with the amount being sent each month since we are way lower than our loan amount.
we now have to another financial survey to see the max amount that can be given.
it is "encouraged" for all to be in attendance and give much forethought and consideration to the amount you can donate each month.

Thanks for posting the form! now when my jw claims they do not behave like Christendom re: money I have some real ammunition! (provided I am up for a dreaded jw discussion any time soon, which I'm not, at least I will be prepared if it happens) -

What is your understanding of a christian Minister of God ?
by smiddy inas i understand it ,a christian minister of god is someone who goes to school gets the opportunity to further their education at a higher level ,then studies greek hebrew , latin , and what is available in ancient manuscripts , and demonstrates they have a comprehension of all these issues.....and of course they would need to get a pass on these subjects.. i think this would be the minimum standard required in the mainstream christian churches ,greek orthodox , catholic, all branches ,church of england ,and most of the mainstream protestant religions.
then we come to jehovah `s witnesses , none of the above applies to them , all they have is , they have been baptized by water immersion into their religion with none of the above qualifications.. and this includes minors , some as young as ten , possibly even younger in some situations who are classed as ministers of god simply by their baptism by water immersion.. they are also on record as saying higher education is a waste of time.why ?
because the end is just around the corner , a phrase that has been repeated and repeated since the year 1914 till now.. what young child could possibly hold their own with a discussion in theology or even comprehend the complexities of christianity with their counterparts.?.

I agree with all you have said but would also like to point out that most ministers with traditional education (4+ years, etc..) are trained in counseling as well. This most often includes marriage & family counseling but may also include other specialties as well. No jw is trained in anything other than parroting the wt's & awake's.
