Why it's a waste of time talking to JW's
by Phizzy ini believe it to be a waste of time talking to, reasoning with, jw's if you expect any kind of quick result.. many of us when we first wake up think that 'coz ttatt is blindingly obvious to us, it will soon get through to our jw loved ones.. this simply isn't so for a couple of important reasons.
the first is that, if someone believes something is true, or the truth, to them it really is, without doubt, true.
so whatever you say must be wrong somehow.. the second problem is that jw's simply do not have to use, or pay any attention to facts and logic.

Why shouldn't they be confronted (politely) about their teachings? They are in a public space promoting harmful material. THEY are the ones who want to discuss these things they just don't like it being pointed out that they are false and run away. The more the public sees the real jw's the better in my opinion.
Why not inform them about ARC, lawsuits, etc.... they sure as heck will not hear it from inside the kh.
In my fantasy land, if a jw came to my door they would be required to listen to or watch MY views about their org until I decided it was enough. If you knock on my door and expect me to listen to your spiel the least you can do is return the favor and listen to my view. But they don't, they ask you to do what they are not willing to do themselves, examine their own beliefs.

My brother died last night
by LisaRose ini found out this morning that my brother died last night, he was also an ex jw, 73 years old and died of heart disease and kidney failure.
it was not totally unexpected, as he had been in poor health, but it's a blow, especially as i just lost another brother two years ago.
there were six of us, now only four.

"How JWs differ from other Christians:" now on Google News
by Sugar Shane inplease post some comments on this news-site!
it's not a bad piece of journalism, but there are definitely some gaps that need to be filled.
the pro-jw apologists have already started posting on it!

I forgot to add that the article completely left out the shunning, jc's, blood, pedophilia, no voting, no YMCA, etc....
Last Sunday's wt about shunning would be perfect to educate the public about the reality of jw's.

They believe Jesus Christ is the key to salvation? really? since when?
I remember some quotes from the wt's that state being a jw is the key to having any hope (no guarantee) of salvation.
I have heard of comment made by jw's that snear at the mere thought of Jesus. They might give lip service and say He is their 'king' but in the end they really don't give Him much thought. More reverence is given to the gb and the org at large.

Make sure your signs have permits.............East Gippsland Shire Council. Vic. Aust.
by smiddy inthis is a notice from the shire in which i live .. "signs placed on naturestrips ,roadsides ,and other public land require a permit from the shire which has identified locations in each town where signs can be erected once a permit is granted .. their is a photo of heaps of signs that have been impounded that don`t have a permit.. and i would imagine their is a cost involved in this.. would that be a valid reason , the cost , that i don`t ever see a witnessing cart/trolley in my shire ?.

Sorry, when you say Shire all I can think of is Hobbits and such. You live in the Shire, how charming, why muck it up with signs? -

The reason you don't see the trollies is because they are busy in Mordor, they have aligned themselves with the orcs and will come out full force soon, very soon!

Today's Study - Shun Disfellowshipped Family, Don't Marry Outsiders, Tell On Others!
by Divergent inurghhh... what a disgusting study!7 a conflict of loyalties may arise when a close relative is disfellowshipped.
for example, a sister named anne received a telephone call from her disfellowshipped mother.
the mother wanted to visit anne because she felt pained by her isolation from the family.
