wtbts are two faced liers!
by mattbetrayed in
1. jw
2. experiences
what i hate about the bros is there bare faced hypocrisy they preach to people look at the leaders in you faith,see how they conduct themselves.and on this base they try to get folkes to turn away from there chosen faith.but you dare question an elder or any wtbts teachings or the way they deal with "problems within the cong"you are kicked out or at best marked as a troublemaker.ok for them to highlight the faults in other faiths but no way must anyone highlight the evil in the witnesses!!!!!!!

!please what are your thoughts my bros and sisters of jwd.

i might have had my first post-fade slip up.

due to a temporary job, i've found myself back in my hometown the last few weeks.

i was pumping gas this morning when i was approached by the presiding overseer of my old congregation (technically my current congregation since i never bothered to change my publisher card).

Small joys
by heybaby in
1. jw
2. experiences
you know how there are somethings that give you so much pleasure or joy?

it doesn't have to be anything amazing or huge, but for some reason it makes you so happy for those few moments.

some of mine are drinking coffee in the morning with my best friend at work, and the smell of an open fire (it reminds me of being a young child at my grandparents' house).

who would not do what it takes for there kids
by mattbetrayed in
1. jw
2. experiences
not so long ago in the uk a mother let herself die so as to save her baby,sounds good however if this woman was willing to have the blood she would be here today happy and enjoying her new borne.it is so sad that this cult makes folks do these things,me i would do anything for my kids and i believe god would expect me to.. after all god let his son give his blood for us!!
