How do you find out which kh territory you're in?
by rebel8 inthese douche bags left a memorial invitation in my door today, after i have already told them point blank, "do not come to this property ever again," which was months after my trespassing letter.. how dumb can people possibly be?
is there such a thing as an iq below zero?.
so i want to send a 2nd letter with the tract ripped up inside, so i will have a 2nd receipt showing another attempt to get them to leave me alone.. how do i know which hall's territory i am in?

Hey Rebel,
They don't get it do they? You may have to send multiple letters, say one a week or so for awhile? I like the letter you supplied in the link but you could send the cease & desist one at the link below but the address for the wt needs updating. I do know if you send it to NY it will eventually reach back to the elders in your area. Worked for me anyway.

Though I was making a stink with my jw so that probably helped. I also threatened to show up at the kh during a meeting with some paid muscle to protect me, go to the front with a blow up picture of our house and address and tell the whole damn cong that this house was a no call and then leave. Yep, that seemed to help too.
They are not the brightest bulb so it takes a bit for them to understand you don't want them on your property or their trash.

"Me: Yes. Is he still placing 80 mags a month?
Girl 1: Yes.
Me: He posts them through the letter box of not-homes though, so it doesnt count."----- is this true? is it the same for today? I thought they get to count anything they leave anywhere? what about leaving the rags in laundromats? do those 'count' as placing literature?

by UnshackleTheChains ini just watched this lovely lady's heartfelt message to the governing body.
i hope that the men she named and all lurkers who have some clout at bethel listen to this message and stop this cruel and divisive shunning policy that has ruined so many family's around the world.
this is just one voice of many many people who feel this way about your (governing body) destructive policy.

Scriptures that now have such a different meaning?!
by stuckinarut2 init struck me that so many of the scriptures that the society uses to condemn others, can actually apply to them!.
when we read them without the application that the society enforces, they can make you have that "ah-ha!
" moment.... for instance, how about:.

Are JW's Getting More Comfortable Discussing Politics?
by freemindfade injust curious if anyone else has observed a more willingness by witnesses they know to openly discuss politics (out of the context of the "truth")?
i have noticed it within my own microcosms of jws i know.. have you observed this?.
i am sure with this last years political climate it's hard for anyone to resist chiming in.

My jw LOVES politics! until I remind him he is supposed to be neutral. Yeah, I know I should let him go but sometimes it is the only way to shut him about it.

"You are my witnesses says Jehovah"
by NikL in"you are my witnesses says jehovah".. this is going to show you how poor my knowledge of the bible has been.. i thought there was a scripture that says the quoted phrase (at least in nwt).
i could swear that i heard it for years quoted in talks.. i went to find it this morning and found nothing of the sort.
am i an anomaly or do any of you remember this as well?.

Isaiah 43:10-12New International Version (NIV)
10 “You are my witnesses,” declares the Lord,
“and my servant whom I have chosen,
so that you may know and believe me
and understand that I am he.
Before me no god was formed,
nor will there be one after me.
11 I, even I, am the Lord,
and apart from me there is no savior.
12 I have revealed and saved and proclaimed—
I, and not some foreign god among you.
You are my witnesses,” declares the Lord, “that I am God.King James-
10Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.
11I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour.
12I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed, when there was no strange god among you: therefore ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, that I am God -

Most Widely Circulated Magazine In The World
by Calebs Airplane inwhich magazine is now the most widely circulated in the world?.
before responding, keep in mind that certain parameters (such as content and page count) ought to be met before any printed material intended for mass distribution can be categorized as a “magazine”.
for example, the absolute minimum range for any publication to be considered a magazine is typically around 32 to 48 pages while the highest page counts are usually around 128 to 160, with some popular women’s fashion magazines coming in quite a bit higher than that.. so with that said, which is now the world’s most widely circulated magazine?.

I think we all know it is not an actual 'magazine' by any stretch of the imagination but the jw's think it is a magazine. You know how they like to redefine words to suit their needs. If you pointed it out to a jw that it is more of tract or pamphlet they would probably respond with something like, "you say tomatoe I say tomato".
I like stuckinarut2's word, 'tractazine'.

The question should be, 'which is the most highly subscribed and sought after magazine'. Publishing a magazine and delivering it free and unwanted is not really a true test of circulation. How large would the circulation be of the wt rag if people actually had to take the time and subscribe to it of their own free will?
