  I found this site http://jehovah.to/

  by entering ‘Jehovah Witness' United’ in Google. They do a pretty good job of defending witness beliefs. I noticed they had a witness owned business link page so I sent them the following e-mail:

  Here is an e-mail I sent to their webmaster:

  Please consider adding Circuit Leasing www. circuitleasing .com to your listing of Witness owned businesses.

  A little background:

  Circuit Leasing has a special business arrangement with the Watchtower Society reselling the society’s purchased vehicles formally driven by Circuit Overseers. The vehicles being sold are only 2-3 years old, low mileage – well maintained luxury cars, equipped with the high end options package including plush leather seating. You can contact Circuit Leasing at their website for further information. We did and they sent us a brochure and a free “NO Blood” keychain just for inquiring. You will be pleased to know that this special arrangement generates tremendous amounts of additional funds for the society, and these funds are desperately needed at this time! I won’t go into details here but you can see how serious the situation is just by searching “NBC Watchtower” on you tube. The Watchtower Society needs everyone’s support at this time!

  Thank You for your consideration.

  You may have just saved a wasted life or someone from a molestation,

  Great JOB!!!!

  FYI for the next time, all you need to do is tell them to go to YOUTUBE and search on “nbc watchtower” or “watchtower nbc”. The NBC newscast in it’s entirety is forever preserved.

  Minor changes to Billy Joel's MY LIFE

  Funny you should rewrite that particular song to make it JW related because as it turns out it already is. Billy Joels sister Judy and her children are JW and some of the lyrics in this song relate to more or less please don’t preach to me, we are not the same but we are still family. “I don't care what you say anymore, this is my life Go ahead with your own life, leave me alone.“
  
  The reason I know this is because my wife is friends with his sister Judy. His nephew, I believe his name is Josh, went to the same private (jw) school as one of my sons and they were pretty good friends. Ooops I guess I let the cat out of the bag as far as my location is concerned. Don’t really care. Love his music!

  Long list= Brothers who have ripped you off! $$$ has this happened to you?

  by Witness 007 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  1. the elder i was in a bissness with decided a hand shake was not a contract, and paid me $500 dollars instead of the $3,000 he should have....i felt so stupid, but quit with him and treated him like a disfellowshiped person since....also he would pay me half a days wage when i worked from 8am till 3pm ???????

  when told about this he said sorry but "couldn't work out how to re-emburse the lost hours.".

  2. my elderly mum sold some furniture when moving, to a sister who promised to pay from her single parent pension in small installments........nope!

  My wife and I took out a $1000.00 cash advance on a credit card to help an elder and his wife out of a temporary jam. They made perhaps 3 minimum payments to our credit card company and they moved with no forwarding address. We were young and stupid! I went into business with a Ministerial Servant friend and we had a written contract that said either party could buy out the other just refunding the other parties initial investment. It specifically stated the amount to be refunded. I exorcised my option and he said we would have to make a number of deductions from the agreed amount in the signed contract we had. I came away with about ¾ of the money that was rightfully due me, but I was glad to be out of the partnership since we obviously had a different set of values and understanding of right and wrong. A little older this time but apparently still a bit stupid Freeman

  What is the biblical basis that allows Jehovah’s Witness to accept some parts of blood and prohibits them from taking other parts? If you take any of these allowed blood fractions, are you really still abstaining from blood?

  My wife, a long time (since 1977) cool aid drinker had this to say: (paraphrased) I’m kind of saddened by the change, but it must be very hard for some people, this is a “loving provision™”. Her reaction was 100% predictable. From an academic perspective its fascinating to see all the dynamics that interplay in cult-think, I just wish my family we not part of the grand experiment.

  browsing online at 26.4k dialup

  by dh in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  .

  i was just laying here plonking away at my computer dialed in at the high speed of, yes you guessed it 26.4k... that's 26.4 whole kilobytes per second.. at one time this was state of the art .. i shouldn't complain because it's a free service, but come on, 26.4k?.

  anyone else going this slow or is it just me?.

  When I first started dialing in, the most common speed was 300 baud (that was in the pre-web days). In fact I still have my dumb terminal with a suction cup modem (like that seen in movie war games). Now I surf the web not from a fifty pound dumb terminal but from my featherweight wireless laptop or even my web ready phone. I no longer connect at a paltry 300 baud but run better then 3 megabits per sec on any given day! I can only imagine what technology will bring by the time my kids are my age. Amazing!

  What JWs think when they visit "apostates"

  by Sirona in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a friend of mine was recently disfellowshipped (lets call him john, false name but serves the purpose of this).

  he was a ministerial servant within the cong (heading for elder).

  anyway, he got back in touch after the "fall".

  Great story.

  During my internment as a dud I only encountered so-called apostates twice. One encounter was at a convention in NY City. The bad apostates held up signs that unfortunately I wasn?t allowed to read; my Bible Study conductor hurried me inside. The second encounter was with a young man who was a witness who left because he discovered ?GGGGGGGEEEEEEZZZZus?.

  I still can?t understand how one goes about trading one form of bondage in for another, (sorry to you BA folks, I know, I know, his load is light... yada yada) but I have to admit he did indeed seem much happier with his new found faith then he every did as a dud. Yes I did in fact notice that, and now thinking back that did disturb me a little because leaving the ?truth? should have rendered him miserable, or so we were told.

  Thank you Sirona for sharing that experience.

  A JW just telephoned me... heh heh heh...

  it must be the end-of-the-mont-scramble to get time in.

  i just got off the phone with a gentleman who, talking approx 1000 words per minute, so that i could almost not understand what he said, identified himself as "navin", and wanted to "share a scripture with me".

  he clearly did not know who i am or my history, or my website hobby.

  Quotes that was absolutely beautiful!

  As it turns out the Dark Tower was right all along; the most worthwhile and fulfilling thing you can do with your time is to bring the truth to those that are thirsting for it. We are all so pleased to see that you are reaching out and we want to encourage you to keep up the fine work brother quotes.

  Your brother in the un-faith,
