  Good news. It seems that the flow of jw molesters are continuously making headlines these days. Just imagine, we never would have heard of these accounts if it were not for the internet.

  And this good news will be preached emailed throughout the earth...

  I would never give my life for my country or any other country for that matter.

  I would give it up to save another human being, regardless of race, ethnicity, or religion. Yes, even including a JW(though they have the resurrection hope).

  What's The Difference Between A Normal Person & A Jehovah's Witness???

  by minimus in

  there are many differences between a "worldly" person aka "normal" and a jw.

  for example, a jw is horrified by christmas lights.

  it's the work of the devil!

  What's The Difference Between A Normal Person & A Jehovah's Witness?

  Normal, assuming you mean a "worldly person" in the eyes of a JW ---

  • Gets drunk
  • Parties a lot
  • Commits immorality/adultery
  • Lies, cheats, steals
  • Watches rated R movies
  • Smokes weed
  • Uses foul language

  Whereas a witness does these things ---

  • Gets drunk
  • Parties a lot
  • Commits immorality/adultery
  • Lies, cheats, steals
  • Watches rated R movies
  • Smokes weed
  • Uses foul language

  To tell you the truth, I don't see much of a difference except for the crazy cult eyes and the haircut.

  "Have a blessed day" - How does that make you feel?

  The absolute first thing that pops into my head is, "Thank god I'm not dealing/speaking with a JW here."

  Hello all, here's my story.

  by Paralipomenon in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  brace yourself, this may make you gag.. holidays were spent in service.

  some friends were having a bbq that we were invited to, i went down and asked to see if there were by-products in the wieners.. i was baptized at 15.. i asked to be baptized at 12 and to humor me they let me take the test.

  to their surprise i actually aced it but the elder convinced my parents that i was still too young.. i would run lemonade stands in the summer time and donate the proceeds to the hall.

  Oh my god. Someone has an itchy trigger finger(the director of Knocking) on the comment section of this trailer for Knocking on You Tube. I posted this comment:

  Why did Joel avoid answering the question about why he did not become a JW? Is it because the Watchtower Bible & Tract Society does not allow gay people to become members of the faith?

  ***Edited to add: The woman's question to Joel is asked at 1:58 into the video*** My comment was gone within 5-10 minutes of being posted. I wonder if Joel is worried that if it becomes known that he is gay, will the jw's refrain from buying his video?

  BTW, where is that thread which showed that Joel was in fact gay? I think we should hammer out a bunch of comments and links that point viewing jw's to his sexual preference.

  **Disclaimer: I have no problem with gay people AT ALL. I'm just curious to see why Joel is appearing to try and hide this fact from the JW faithful.**

  EXTRA STUDY GUIDES NOW AVAILABLE
  Extra copies of our study guide (48-pages of historical and social analysis) are now available in packs of 5 and 10 to make it easier for you to share the information with others without giving up your own copy.

  CALL FOR COMMENTS
  We encourage viewers who have watched the DVD and all the extras to tell us what they think. We will continue to post new viewer comments on the www.knocking.org web site. We especially encourage non-JWs to write in and tell us their impression of KNOCKING.
