BBC Programme tonight "Westboro Baptist Church"

i am still watching this documentary .

the phelps family are described as "the most hated family in america" .. why does so much of what they say sound so horribly familiar?

that is scary ... why does what they say in public sound very much like what dubs say among themselves in private.

How did you get out of field service?

i had a boat that i always wanted to name "return visits" that way whenever i was asked why i wasn't in field service on saturday i could respond, "i went out on return visits" and nobody would be the wiser.

just wondering, did anyone else come up with a good way to dodge that question?.

good morning all, and "happy wednesday"!!.

well, after looking at this, any faithful witness would have to say a firm "no" to a witness wedding!

so.. if weddings, and all their customs are ok for witnesses, then why in the heck are the holidays off limits?

this is my first post here ever.

i was hoping some may be able to tell me the author(s) of any of the watchtower books - especially those from the last couple of decades.

if you can back it up with anything, that'd be great, too.. thanks..

i came it to the watchtower in the early seventies.

while my friends were going to college i was out selling watchtowers.

for some reason while cleaning the garage this morning i was thinking about this and thinking of the doctor i used to go to back then.

Active JWs, hows KN37 going?

hey everybody, i had an interesting time pushing a tract that i don't believe in this weekend.

i had to develop my own method of placing it without having to talk about it, since i fear if i was confronted by someone asking "do you people think you're the only true religion", i might break down and tell the person at the door "no, i don't".

the witness at the door with me would scream in terror, and i would be insta-dfed.
