  Why don't I see this thread on the web site?

  What's really funny is there's a JW at work that he thinks set him up.

  Will the pro-JW "Knocking" movie backfire on the WT Society?

  rather than being lots of great pr for the kh, it will bring former jw's who have remained silent out into the open.

  they will write and call pbs and their newspapers, too.

  they will get an earful and perhaps do the story that should have been done in the first place.

  The WBTS told me the information you get from the news can not be trusted,

  so this favorable light the JW's are portrayed in must be wrong.

  My friend said "I just stood there with his arms folded not saying anything more."

  I guess they felt obligated to leave him have the book because he said he would look at it.

  That 'contact us' thing can come in handy for many puposes.

  Hope it doesn't cause 'you know' who any trouble.

  I think I'm gonna fill another one out right now.

  Update Regarding How The May 1 QFR Is "Playing" In The Congregations

  by Justitia Themis in

  i have been emailing with a sister in my congregation regarding the qfr.

  i told her i wasn't discussing it with most jws, because i didn't want to hear any of their "new light" garbage.

  i told her this isn't new light; this just means that what we paraded out in 1935 as "new light" was wrong.. she sheepishly (no pun intended) agreed.

  The sincere ones may catch it, but they won't necessarily see it as proof of the lie; they'll just be depressed because they will understand that the society is saying they may not live to see the pair-o-dice.

  My parents and in laws fall into this category. They are on depression drugs as are many other JW's.

  pair-o-dice LOL

  It must be so confusing now when they study the revelation book. Their doctrine reminds me more and more of Orwell's 1984 - entire pages need to be pulled out; someone needs to go through it with a black pen to get rid of the old light. The belief system - structure of ideas is losing coherance, and it must be increasingly difficult for a witness to remember what it is that they believe anymore.

  To true!!

  This was me to a tee.

  I always thought it was me, that I just couldn't get it. I finally figured it out that it wasn't me it was them. Liars!

  Just got this e-mail, is any of this b.s. true? There are JW names through out the letter . Don't read this if you aren't feeling well you will lose your lunch. DOES JEHOVAH KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON, ANDDOES HE HELP? 1. The bomb planted in the Kingdom Hall In Australia, where one brother was killed, was meant to kill everyone, and would have; but the bomb rolled backwards so the force or the blast was away from the friends, ratherthan aimed at them
  
  2. A new Hall was built in Brooklyn. However, a large tree was inconveniently located in the center of the parking lot, and a city ordinance forbade it's removal. That night, a storm blew it down, and it conveniently fell in the middle of the street. No harm came to the Hall. Because it blocked the street, the city of New York had to remove it, at no expense to the brothers.
  
  3. In Florida, a Hall building was delayed, because the basement hadn't been back filled and the brothers had no means to do so. While the inspectors were at the site, a bulldozer&a mp;n bsp;showed up, did the job, and drove off. He returned to tell his boss he'd finished the job at the Hall. The boss replied, "Hall!? I told you to go to the mall!" The job was done at no expense to the brothers.
  
  4. The brothers were building a 2-day project, and were short of roof trusses. None could be obtained for 3 days. Nearby, a semi truck overturned, blocking traffic. What was it carrying? Trusses! The police wanted them removed. The brothers moved in and hauled them away. Although some were damaged, enough were gathered to finish the project, at no cost to the brothers
  
  5. A Hall project was planned on an island. However, no sand was available for the mortar. (Many of these islands are formed from coral.). The only sand was on property owned by the Catholic priest, and he wouldn't sell to the brothers. A storm came up and washed the san d fro m the priest's land to where it was available to the friends. The project was completed, and everyone was happy but the priest.
  
  6. In Poland, where the work is done underground, 3 elders were working on a country road. The sky was cloudy. Suddenly a bolt of lightning killed the middle brother. The other 2 hurriedly hid his body in the bushes, to go and remove literature, etc. from his home before the officials came. They take over any possessions they find and give them to whomever they feel can use them. Among his possessions were found a complete list of all
  the Witnesses from miles around. He was not a brother, but an imposter, planning to turn this list over to the police. As Bro. Lauriz says, if these hadn't come from Bethel, we'd never believe them.
  
  7. In a country where the work is banned, a Brother was trying to get through a series of roadb locks, with the trunk of his car loaded with literature. He was stopped by a policeman who asked him if he would take him to a certain destination as his car was broke down. The Brother agreed, the policeman got in the car, took his policeman's hat off and put it on the dashboard of the car as they drove along. They passed through five roadblocks and each time they were waved to go on through because of the policeman being with him. When they reached the end, the policeman
  thanked him and got out. The Brother asked him what the roadblocks were for and he said, "Oh, those Jehovah's Witnesses try to get through with
  their literature and this is set up to stop them." So he had escorted the Brother right through with his literature, (Told by Bro. Spangenberg, C. 0.)
  
  8. A Brother going door to door met a man who said very emphatically he was not interested. He sa id to the Bro. "Tell it to the dog!" So the Bro. did. He gave the whole Sermon, read the scriptures, and presented the WT subscription, when he got through, he looked up at the man and said, "Well, the dog says yes." The man said "If the dog says yes, then I'll take it." So he placed the subscription. This was told by Brother Carrie Barber. (Gov. Body) Rejoice in the hope. Endure under tribulation. Persevere in prayer. -Romans 12:12
  
  9. Here is one I can add. In West Valley City, Utah, a new Kingdom Hall was planned. Funds were short. The brothers heard of an IRS auction of property in an ideal location. The date of the auction the presiding overseer went to the site, county court house steps. A minimum bid was
  announced, $14,500.00. Our brother raised his hand. No one of the many gathered there offered any bids. The congregation got the property,
  then sold off a pie ce of it for $14,500.00. Net result...property paid for at no cost to the brothers aside from clean up. How do I know? I was in that congregation at the time.

  Farting in bed and 'wafting' the smell up with the covers.

  Pull the covers up over the unsuspecting spouses head, don't waft the covers around such a waste of resources. This is known as a Dutch oven. That's what I heard anyway.

  The Old Motor

  He's 80, she's 20. It was the stir of the town when an 80 year old man married a 20 year old girl.

  After a year of marriage she went into the hospital to give birth. The nurse came out to congratulate the fellow saying:

  "This is amazing. How do you do it at your age?"

  He answered, "You got to keep the old motor running."

  The following year the young bride gave birth again. The same nurse said: "You're amazing. How do you do it?"

  He again said: "You've got the keep the old motor running."

  The same thing happened the next year. The nurse then said:

  "Well, well, well! !! You certainly are quite a man!"

  He responded again, "You've got to keep that old motor running"

  The nurse said:

  "Well, you better change the oil. This one's black."

  (Colossians 1:16) because by means of him all [other] things were created in the heavens and upon the earth, the things visible and the things invisible, no matter whether they are thrones or lordships or governments or authorities. All [other] things have been created through him and for him.

  NIV : For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him.

  I was just reading this chapter the other day and thinking about what it says.

  I'm no english wiz but it sounds weird where it says all things were created by him and for him.

  Shouldn't it read more like "all things were created by him for himself."

  Anyway it's a chapter JW's don't focus on. If only Jesus wouldn't have created Satan, what did Jesus need him for anyway??

  Counting Time

  by Xena in

  2. friends

  i don't know about anyone else but this could be the source of major contention between dubs in my halls.

  you had those who started their time as soon as you pulled out of the hall parking lot (me), those who counted from the first knock at the door or laundry mat visited, and the die hards who didn't start until they actually spoke to someone(my sister).

  my sister and i would go round and round about this, i finally just pretended to start my time when she did just to shut her up.

  start :leave Kingdum hall parking lot. stop :get back to kingdom hall parking lot.

  Unless you go to a laundramat on your way and drop off some mags.(how f___ing insane)

  I stopped counting time right before I left the cult. I was given a good talking to in the library about not reporting and succumbed to their guilt tactics for a while longer.

  During a sheperding call I complained to an elder that counting time was not scriptural.

  His reply to me was,

  "if JW"s weren't required to count their time no one would go out in field service".

  At the time I was to naive to jump all over that comment.(Hi Willy S.)
