I already apologized to the Mormons for laughing at their Mormon Bible.
by MinisterAmos ini admit it, i made fun of the mormons along with the rest of the jws.
we always though it was really funny that they were following the instructions in "the book of the mormons" which is the 2nd verse of the new testament given to their 16 y/o prophet by god and jesus christ.
imagine that any religion could place any co-called "holy book" on the same plane as the bible!

Moved the study and forgot to tell us.......Seriously!
by MinisterAmos ini feel just awful~!.
the wife and i showed up with our red books and bibles at the new brother's house ready for the study, but nobody was there.. anyone else ever have this happen?.
i understand that the group is huge, us, the new guys, the conductor (a bethel reject), and three generations of dubs who live in the same house, but are three family groups too much to keep track of?

Congregation member lists: do they still use them? Current Dubz only!
by MinisterAmos infor some reason (read they are afraid that exiting jws will use them to "stumble" other bros.) my new congo will not issue the normal member list with names, addies, numbers and congo appointments; the same list that everyone uses to call their jw buddies over for a booze party.. i was switched to this new congo two or so years ago and since have heard of two other congos that have stopped distributing lists.
since i have only inquired of two congoes, i ass-ume that the distribution of "friends" personal info is now forbidden?.
please comment all you current members/faders.

January 14, 2007; the most bizarre comments I have ever heard at a Hall
by MinisterAmos inmost of you have already scoped out the wt lesson for yesterday that blondie provided, but i'm going to add to it a bit and share the audience comments for the meeting.. i'm also going to share some direct-from-the-gb "new-light" that was revealed by the speaker in his discussion.....ready?.
so the wife and i are on vacation yesterday and visit a congregation located in western fl or east al; floribama as the natives call it.. the speaker began by telling us that the "happy god" isn't really happy because of the state of the world.
i forgot to ask him where that fact is found in the bible.

How is it possible that JWs are permitted to be nurses etc?
by MinisterAmos inthe first thing i can remember from my jw studies is having the (no) blood policy explained to me; the brother liberally quoted from the ot and then from the nt when i complained that mosaic law did not apply to christians.
he also reminded me that "all scripture is beneficial" (forget which book that's from).
a quote that i must have heard a hundred times if i've heard it once is from leviticus.

Ladies! Why you should NEVER marry/date a Dub
by MinisterAmos inthe jan 1, 2007 wt contains one of the oddest bits of jwism that i have yet read, and it certainly ties in with some of their peculiar practices!.
i've been particularly bothered by some of the comments made at a rather important jw wedding i recently attended (three dos and three cos in attendance along with a branch servant).
the bro performing the ceremony made repeated references to "telling her you love her at least once a week" and to the bride that "she be obediant in every respect" the obediant bride stuff is old news, but the command to profess love is a new one.

JW Weddings. Avoid Paganism at all costs!
by MinisterAmos ini just got back from a real puke-fest of a jw wedding.. i'll post some notes from the ceremony but let's just say that i had to restrain myself from getting up and saying "don't agree to that"!
.
it's now "pagan" to throw a damn boquet?

Guess what happened with the new CO?
by MinisterAmos ini'm not particularly fond of the way that the bros fawn over the ranking members when they visit.
after all, there is no rank in the jws right?
that's what they say anyway.. so i rebel and don't go at all when the co or do come to visit.
