  by cofty in

  2. beliefs

  like all the best comedy this is hilarious and agonising in equal measure.. if you have not bookmarked the jehovah's trumpet blog do it now.. shunning makes us joyful .... "fiends, we are the happiest people on earth because of true worship, and this includes the practice of shunning our closest loved ones...".

  Revelation 12:12 If a Witness was asked how long the war in heaven lasted? What would their answer be nowdays?

  by thomasaquinas in

  2. bible

  this question came up recently and i was amazed at how many modern day j-dubs feel it was no time at all.

  but jw publications have long stated that is was years in duration.

  what do you remeber and provide citations if possible..

  Therefore rejoice, you heavens and you who dwell in them! But woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has gone down to you! He is filled with fury, because he knows that his time is short."

  hi, my apostate friends.. a couple of weeks ago i asked for some advice regarding studying methods.

  then some of you asked me to let you know my score after i take the exam at mineralogy.. i scored 90%.

  i'm pretty happy with it because the exams i take are not in my native language.. if i keep up with the good scores i might get a scholarship and then bye bye watchtower society.

  Unbalanced way of thinking?

  by msconcerned in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  so, one hot beautiful (not a cloud in the sky) kind of summer day, there was an elder who decided to re shingle his house.

  this was on the book study day.

  he started early and got all the shingles off of the roof in time for the book study that night.

  I used to think (as a ubm) that my jw would step over me if I was lying on the floor dying and he would attend to me after the meeting. Now? hmm, not sure, I think he might call 911 or maybe he would have to call the kh first to tell them he will be late and I am interfering with his meetings! lol

  The do not call list

  by LisaRose in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  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.

  here is a link to the cease & desist letter

  http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/153587/1/Cease-Desist-letter#.U4y7tSjijEg

  I think the address to the wt needs updating to upstate NY?

  This letter was the ONLY thing to keep them away from my house. Now, they finally got the hint. The letter really does go to NY and the elders get a letter from headquarters but right on their letter they suggest going back in a years time to see if the householder might have had a change of heart. A friend decided to send one every year with a Christmas card!

  Don't bother trying to send on to the local kh as most do not have mailboxes and it will just be returned to you. If you decide to send to an elder send it certified mail.

  i hear that a recent talk was about taking care of one's aging parents.

  i agree.

  generally, kids should take care of aging parents.
