He He, I met two dubs today
by johnathanseagull indid my usual jaunt this morning biking down to the train station in ddorf to get my sundaytimes (just need that shot of english !!!
)...taking my normal route home, low and behold, two dubs holding watchtowers in various languages, one was a young lad of say no more than 25, the other 50ish, looked like he could sell me a car lol..........i asked if they could speak english, the lad replied yes, they were greek by the way.........i was straight in with "i left due to the 1995 "generation" definition change" (hey i lied but whats a lil ole white lie in theocratic war eh?
)...........the young lad didnt know about it, although he admitted being in da truff at the time !!!!

Ooooh and then the end will come
by johnathanseagull inhey all.
afternoon thought here................in the time i was in the truff.........(i forget the scripture), there was the popular saying, it was usually my loud mouth brother (elder!!
) that used to be heard saying it and it was .............."yes everyone will have a witness and then the end will come"........everyone meaning the whole wide world...........question is this still a popular saying amonst the dubs, bearing in mind that it's a complete impossibility for everybody in the world to have a "witness" by a jw.. jgull.

Door Knocking in Different Countries?
by johnathanseagull inhey all.
for some of you that know me, i've just settled from england to germany, (serving where the need is great, yeah baby yeah my need he he he ).....and was wondering regarding jw's attempts at knocking on doors in this country.
a very high % of homes and apartment blocks have the security buzzer at the end of the drive, or at the front door of the apartment block, intended of course as a security measure, this is the general mentality here and very well accepted of course...........measure that against the uk where, jw's are rarely hindered with this situation and can always get to a front door.

I'm Back !!!!!!
by johnathanseagull ingosh..................for those who still remember me, i've settled now in dusseldorf, germany with new job and eventually got myself on-line in the evenings!!!
(dont ask it's sooooooooo complicated), i've been able to view the site a few times, but any bullet points from anyone would be great regarding the status of things in the last few months, i can then do a search....................soooooo many newbies, that makes me feel good inside, (know what i mean), accolades abound for you all who continue to fight for the real truth, for anyone who followed my brief attempt to educate my jw family, it went very pear shaped, but hey ho, my battle continues with all your help past and present of course.
respect.

by johnathanseagull inhi to all of you who know me, finally settled down in dusseldorf my new home and eventually managed to get back here, waaaay too many posts to look back on maybe pleasuredome/brummie can give me a short breakdown of anything that has happened..........if any of you remember the story of myself and my attempt to show my dub sister the real truth........well came to ahead with my mum and dad over the phone, i'll give you one quote from my father which sums it all up.... he said.
"you (meaning me) don't stand a chance at armageddon".. some years ago, i would have been crushed by that comment, but having found this site and the people here, i am a stronger and better person to deal with it.....so acolades in abundance to you all.

Do you remember the "Marked Ones"
by johnathanseagull in.
do you remember the "marked ones" within your cong, i remember a couple who you could see were trying there damm bloody hardest to be accepted within the congregation, always sat at the back never "invited into the fold" fully and there was always the "hmmmm dont associate with them too much, they are spiritually weak etc etc" i remember feeling so sorry for them but i just had to adhere to jah and his organisational ways.............sheesh !!!
and i was told that was being christian.. j gull.
