The do not call list

by LisaRose in

i have posted before about my experience trying to get on the "do not call" list.

despite repeated requests, a phone call to the hall and mailing a letter, and then giving a copy to a jw, they just keep coming by.

i was going to put up a no soliciting sign, then i can call the police on them, but my husband doesn't want me to do it.. so, i decided if they come back i would have some fun.

I just thought of a great answer to any JC grilling a person for suspected apostasy.

When they ask, "do you believe in the Governing Body and their teachings?", just reply, "I'm from the Philippines".

ROFL!

Hi OP and welcome.

Click on the button on the top called "members". Look how many there are! You can't really generalize about all of us based on a few posters.

I think the best thing about this forum is its sense of humor.

thoughts?.

Google AAWA and do a search on here if you want to know about it.

In any case, IMO cult memorial observations are a good thing.

i must admit i can at times be a little "egotistical" when it comes to knowledge and the bible.

i have studied the bible for so long and have always had a passion for the bible as a jw and as an ex-jw.

i guess that is all i have left when it comes to religion and as humans we do tend to stroke our egos.

So why woudl God go through the trouble of "hiding" this massive even from just a few thousand years ago, from the fossil record? Why would he allow us to see all of history...except for the flood?

And then tell someone to write a book about it and demand they believe it just because the book says so. And to believe all that in an incredibly inaccurate book , at that.

There are some pretty good websites with detailed analyses of the ark story. Too much to even post here. IMO the ark story is one of the clearest examples of why the bible isn't true. There is just so much incorrect and impossible about the story. There is just no way it could be true.

The scans and quotes I posted earlier are all from jwfacts.com, fyi.

It has occurred to me lately that Gen X and younger may shut their brains off when we talk about 1975, because it was "so long ago" in their view...so I thought...hmmm...I remember stuff about the 20th century. That was the "save face" move after the '75 fiasco, the way they got us to refocus on Thee End.

So here we have a set of failed prophecies in print, right there in black and white, dated 14 years ago! That should be pertinent to every jw alive today.
