the new movie I thought was quite good, it has some twists and turns that are not expected.

"you'll be struggling to tell the difference between sincere expressions and parodies.."
yes I did, but I knew several jw's who sound, and act exactly like some of these people.

Nelson Birdwell Over a foot of snow and near white out conditions! Jehovah is a wonderful God to provide us heat and shelter from this weather.
Hilary And-Aaron Gilbert Jehovah provided the near white out conditions, or, by passively allowing them, provided them. Men build shelters from the cold and artificial heat. Wed at 4:39pm · Report Jerie Elliott I agree br. Birdwell! Wed at 4:52pm · Report Paul Halouska Well the weather here in Europe is really crazy ... I think Armageddon must come very soon!
Paul Wed at 5:57pm · Report Shawn Colton Have you supported your local homeless shelter? It would be good to ask the congregation to help with food and clothes to provide for those in need. Yesterday at 5:36am · Report Nelson Birdwell The brothers and sisters in our local congregation have done ministry and placed several sets of magazines at the local shelter. They were well received by several of the homeless community. Yesterday at 9:17am · Report Shawn Colton That's a good thing, Nelson. The information within our Watchtower and Awake magazines will help keep them well fed with spiritual food and warm with the news of the New System. What else could one need? Yesterday at 9:42am · Report Nelson Birdwell I know from personal experience that waiters and waitresses really appreciate when I leave literature instead of cash for a tip. Its the spiritual food that can feed their children. Yesterday at 1:27pm · Report Shawn Colton It's the deep appreciation we have for our ministry to share our publications to those who can benefit. One of the articles in an AWAKE magazine touched on the importance of grooming your pets. It warms my heart to share these insightful articles with the homeless and needy. It is better than money! Yesterday at 1:33pm · Report Beth Shan Brother Birdwell Great Minds Think Alike! I also use literature in lieu of a tip for waitresses and waiters, have you ever tried cutting out coupons and using them as bookmarks strategically placed in The Watchtower and Awake! left as tips? For example, if I notice the waiter smells of nicotine, I might use a coupon for nicorette gum and bookmark ... See More an article from The Awake -The Bibles Viewpoint on Smoking.
I can tell from watching the expression of their face there are many of these food industry people who are receptive to the Spiritual Gifts we provide them with! What a wonderful oppourtunity this is to pass on the Good News of Everlasting Life! Great Work Brother Birdwell! Yesterday at 1:50pm · Report Nelson Birdwell That is a wonderful idea. I always try to strike a conversation with the waitstaff to determine what magazines would be best to highlight. Just the other day I was having coffee on my faild service break, and this young lady waitress was telling me about her 5 children and some of the problems with affording diapers and supplies. One of her ... See More children wanted a new outfit for school, so I left her an older Awake with an article about modest dress.
Now, if I had your idea, I could have perhaps had some coupons for diapers or formula handy. I shall do that in the future. Yesterday at 2:40pm · Report Beth Shan Thank you Brother Birdwell, if you provide me with your KH I will gladly mail you the coupons the next time my husband and I do our letter witnessing. Do you also have a need for ketchup packets? I could mail you a few extra of those as well. They also come in handy during the Field Service. If you go into Mcdonalds on your next coffee break, you ... See More can buy a cup for 25 cents. My husband grumbles about this and insists on bringing his own cup from home. Then my husband or I go into the bathroom and turn on the water until its nice and hot and fill the cup up. Then we take a ketchup package out of our pockets (usually we get extra from a kindly sister in our hall who also washes out bread bags and egg cartons for us, more about that next time) Anyways I digress. The ketchup package mixed with some salt and pepper from the condiment stand and hot water! Ta da! Instant Tomato soup, a nourishing and frugal way to enjoy the coffee break while saving more of our money to pioneer and put in the contribution box for where the need is great! Sometimes, if we are really lucky someone will leave a creamer on the table and we can make cream of tomato soup! It is amazing how Jehovah provides for us! Yesterday at 2:51pm · Report Shawn Colton When our group was on break and I left a dollar tip - one of the brothers leaned over and said, "Put that towards the Worldwide Ministry instead". I'm glad my dollar is helping to build Kingdom Halls in other countries! Yesterday at 2:53pm · Report Nelson Birdwell Beth, that is a wonderful idea, too. And, Shawn, it is so true. Whenever I have a few extra dollars I try to put in back into the ministry. Yesterday at 2:57pm · Report -

Johnny Carson did this joke back in the 80's, and everyone thought how terrible it was because he was making fun of jehovahs purpose.
God help us,,,, the ones who left and look back at our ridiculous behavior !

My experience with the JW's and more...I'll try to make it short.
by ConnieD29 inwell i guess the thing to do here is to kinda tell your story so that is what i'm going to attempt to here.
even though it makes me a bit nervous.. my experience with the jehovah's witnesses was short compared to lots of people here.
i was only involved for about 3 yrs.

Does anybody else feel relieved that they won't be tortured during the great tribulation?
by doublelife ini grew up hearing about different ways people have been tortured in the past and was always scared of going through that during the gt.
it was always an unhealthy obsession of mine.
i always thought that i was more worried about it than other jws and that i would end up renouncing my faith to get out of it.

JW Tall Tales
by lancelink inrecently i was cleaning my bookcase and found an old book that i enjoyed as a child.
it had stories in it such as paul bunyan, pecos bill, and john henry.
while these stories are fictional, i enjoyed them because they were entertaining, and easy to understand.. fast forward to the late 70's when i was a teenager sitting at the ca hall in janesville wisconsin.. the speaker was explaining the great sacrifice god made in sending his son down to earth to die for all mankind.

That was a very interesting read !
Thank you everyone for sharing your stories, experiences, or undocumented rumors.
I find it amazing the variety of fabricated stories JW's have all over the world .'
