The Watchtower - Hustling Pocket Change
by metatron inapparently, at some assembly halls they are removing the pay phones and replacing them with their own phone lines - with a contribution box next to it.. you may already know about district assemblies where they put 'out of order' signs.
on working vending machines to prevent the rank and file from using them.. how much money do they expect to make from this?
they are trying to hustle pocket change!.

What Was The 1st Thing That Made You Question?
by minimus inas a youngster raised in the "truth", i had my questions.
but anytime you ask a question that is unanswerable, you are told to just wait on jehovah.
as time passes, i believe that we store up a number of unanswerable questions that forces one to eventually think about everything.

watchtower: Pimping you out to the world!
by CornerStone injust venting before i go to work.
i was thinking how watchtower has to be one of the biggest pimps of peoples minds and bodies in the world.
#1 they have their people go out and "perform" or "do tricks" with peoples minds and emotions.. #2 they have their people go out and bring in the "masters belongings", warm bodies, their money and a lifetimes servitude, with watchtower the "master"!

Are You Embarrassed To Admit You Were A Witness?
by minimus inif the subject of religion or even jehovah's witnesses ringing your doorbell has come up, do you shy away from talking about ever being a witness?
some have indicated that they felt stupid for ever believing in the watchtower.
others have said they have a responsibility to help others not get involved in this "cult".

What's greedy according to the wts
by A Paduan inwhat, according to the wts, is greedy - because i've just read from the latest tablet on watchtowerinformationservice that they should .
"quit mixing in company with anyone called a brother that is a fornicator or a greedy person" .
so what's with a greedy person - who's that - a person in a roller who runs over cripples - or someone who doesn't run after thieves to give them a cloak that they could well do with ?

Physical appearance IN the troof vs. out
by razorMind ini just had a question.....a rant is intertwined as well (sorry) .
when i was in the jw's, i noticed so many "new one'z" and "interested one'z" who were nicely dressed people.
many were fairly well-groomed, the women & girls with nice stylish fashion taste.

by unclebruce in... there i was self-centered in the forest, up to my elbows in cement mortar, trying to build a stone wall by wrestling order from the chaos of crooked rocks strewn about me, when a strange car comes loping down the track toward me.
bro sugarbag: ""yes, the bible says ... .
unc: "sorry, i'd rather not talk about religion today" .
