My wife , Son and DIL living with us ,have still not acknowledged my birthday today @ 5:15 pm , I might have to drop them a subtle hint.
by smiddy ini know being a witness for 33 years and not celebrating b/days you do lose the habit , but i thought one of them would have remembered ?
oh well .. maybe i will just rub it in with them tomorrow .make them feel guilty , eh ?.
then again i might just start singing "76 trombones" at the dinner table tonight .

Well isn't this a bunch of BS
by Doctor Who inwell, our sister congregation just had their co visit this past week.
on saturday afternoon, i was talking to a couple of ministerial servants in that congregation and they stated that an unmarried brother is not fulfilling to the max what jehovah wants of us.
they stated that the co went on a tirade that if you are unmarried you are being selfish and not following what jehovah wanted for mankind since he created eve as a compliment for the man.

On the subject of flushing out the gays - I thought I remember some stories of men (possibly women as well?) who went to the elders about their sexuality and the elders said they should get married anyway(?). I can't imagine anyone going to the elders on this subject because word would be sure to get around! no? -

Ran into some JW's.......but this time I did the teaching ;) x
by snare&racket inso i went out today with my broken leg and got accosted by an old lady, with some magazines.. it was my first ever encounter with a jw in ten years, and i had said 'i know you are jw's, i'm not interested thank you.
" twice.....then she started talking about my broken leg and how wonderful we are made and how amazing the healing process is.... and that's when it all started...."i used to be a bethelite pioneer, now i'm an atheist doctor...".
she was with me a good 30 mins, her elder husband left very annoyed but she stayed, and she was dying to hear everything i spurted out, despite aggressively defending every point, from military engines to paedophilia.

pissed off my wife today at the assembly..I asked her why the bozo GB member lett has a pinky ring.
by goingthruthemotions inso at the assembly to day that nitwit lett gave a talk....i noticed right away he had a pinky ring.
i asked my wife what was the purpose of the pinky ring?
and then asked....would jesus wear a pinky?

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. -

Need a good laugh?
by FadeToBlack inif you could use a good laugh please have a look at page 7 of the july 2015 awake.
my wife leaves the latest issues on my pillow when she gets back from her meetings.
i often scan through them looking for nonsense.

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..
-
carla
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.

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.
