My BIL told me how he used to dupe his nephew.
Throwing sticks and rocks to make sounds in the bush. he even convinced him to put charcoal on his face for camouflage.Reminds me of the JW Broadcasting distraction and getting pioneers to stand near a literature cart...
( both are an embarrassment )"Your reward is getting near".

Big eyes- jw's all excited about the movie
by purrpurr infor those still attending.
have you seen an excitement go through the dubs about the tim burton film big eyes?
they reckon it will give a "fine witness".. i've seen it and found it really irritating, basically margaret keane is such a timid mouse that she allows her husband to take all the credit for her work.

It's My Turn
by OneFingerSalute inwell i finally got the, "we would like to stop by with the circus oversneer and have an encouraging visit.
would ---------day be good, at say -----------?".
it'll probably be a pretty dull visit with the entire conversation being only one way.

...Back to the real world.
Prior to the request to meet with the CO ( which was unknowingly waved off by my still-in wife ) a father/son pair of elders paid me, what would be my final elder's visit. The son was the COBE and only in his late 30's after local pioneering and a 10 year Bethel stint that had him in daily contact with GB members.
He asked me just minutes into the visit if I still believed the GB was the FDS. I responded by telling him that, " I will not be interrogated in my own home ". That created awkward silence.
When they tried to read from the Bible to me, I told them... " I'm not interested ". ( classic conversation stopper/table turner! ) They immediately left. I have been left alone for the last 1.5-2 years as a result, while my wife happily attends all the meetings, seeing them weekly. The Love®

It's hearing experiences like these that stir me to fantasy land:
I imagine being invited to a meeting with the CO and an elder. I appear cheerful and suggest that the entire body of elders and the CO should come to my place for the encouraging visit. Which I proceed to secretly record after reminding all of the "brothers" that the use of recording devices is not allowed!!

Jovies - Thanks

I suspect IF a free civilization is to survive, there will be at least one more big war.
WWIII, if you will. It will be against Islam.
If Islam "wins", is that paradise?
JWs don't mean dungy idols in the big scheme. Nobody even mentions or thinks about them in the "real world".

Pretend you were still a JW, would you have secretly wanted hospitals to force a loved on to have a blood transfusion?
by EndofMysteries ini'm curious, even though jws must fight and resist, how many secretly hope that their loved one is forced a blood transfusion so they can live and their conscious is cleared of having done everything possible to not have one?
or you have felt guilty and upset about it no matter what?

The fact that the vast majority of transfusions have always been "fractions" makes this organisation even more, pardon the expression, blood guilty.
People have died refusing blood because they thought Jehovah would be sad.
They missed the fine print: fractions are OK.I can see it now. Wrongful death lawsuit regarding blood refusal.
Won't they be surprised when WT lawyers show the wording that it's been a printed "conscience matter" for quite some time now.Listen, obey and be bled...
