Oh I get his point. Only God-worshipping homophobic Catholic Republicans should be permitted to vote. Yes, that makes a whole lot of sense. Count me in for a democracy like that.
This guy calls his broadcasting business St. Michael’s Media. The second coming of Christ perhaps? For some reason I can't help picturing him having sex with his wife through a hole in a sheet.
i want to take this opportunity to say goodbye to all of the members on jwn and thank you for your support over the years.. circumstances have arisen that make it impossible for me to continue posting here.. i have truly appreciated your love and support during some hard times when i had no one else to talk to.. you showed compassion and a non-judgmental, christlike attitude for thoughts and feelings that could not be openly expressed to any of the brothers in the congregation for fear of reprisal.
for that, i am so grateful!.
thanks to the many of you that could relate to the pain and worthlessness that i have felt about myself for so many years because of my experiences and upbringing in the truth.
BTTT, in case.
in a world thats growing increasingly profligate and vile, im concerned so much vitriol is aimed at churches like the jehovahs witnesses.
im not one, and i have theological differences with it; however other religions and former members of the religion seem to be unusually bitter and critical.
i admit to being unfamiliar with many of the social aspects of the church, but all churches have a hierarchal structure and its not unusual for many churches to also be dogmatic in relation to the scriptures.
For me, what cemented that I was in a cult was the realization that death was really the only REAL way out...
Worth a (tragic) repeat from agonus.
i'm really curious how many of those df'd have ever received a yearly visit........ .
Question to DF'd people.......
Do you WANT a yearly visit from Jehovah's Witnesses? (Serious question.)
i love reading the various pet names people have come up with for jws.
some i have seen on this board include:.
jws (obviously).
In real life, Dub.
What made me laugh, Witlesses.
Jablovas Twitnesses
Sounds like a lovely dessert with lots of foam, sugar, sherry, coconut and eggy custard and maybe some cream, crushed nuts and chopped Twinkies.

This sounds like a suicide note. Does anyone know 5th in real life?
i wanted to be an one of the brothers the elders took under there wing,but i had to much baggage ( reproved 3 times and currently d.f ).
yes i've seen elders take m.s'es and turn them into elders.
i had a friend who was an m.s an elder took him and now he's an elder.
Sometimes I don't comment on threads because I feel desperately sorry for the original posters. Just thought I'd say that, once-off.
an open challenge from a jw:.
i know people have a lot of questions about jehovah's witnesses, like, who are they?
why do they keep knocking on everyone's door all the time?
Ask this person whether the rumor is true that Jehovah wants to destroy everyone that is not a Jehovah's Witness?
If this person blathers and says that it's not true, their "Jehovah" only wishes to exterminate people who don't believe in him (and don't believe blablabla whatever) then throw up your hands and walk away.
first century.. rome.
jerusalem.
galilee.. low tech world.. roman armies marching always into battles.. sons and fathers conscripted to fight and die.. taxes.. morning to sundown scraping out a meager living.. .
Add to that literate monks through the Middle Ages, meticulously transcribing and re-transcribing by hand the canon, as per the universal or catholic church; almost the only words preserved through the ages of "western" history until the invention of the printing press.
things have been rather tight for the wt org in the money department lately, so-oo,----the good news is the wt has found all the money it needs from the brothers and sisters to run all it's worldwide operations!!!!--.
the bad news is it's, still in the brother's wallets!.
moshe-laughing about the end of the wt org, due to lack of donations from the brothers- shoot, they have a whole 'nother generation.
JWs are cheap-skates for the most part
No Moshe, just low-income.
