  Really Pushing WTS Lately......

  by mind blown in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've been @ my place for 5 years now and hardly ever see jw's at my door or in my neighborhood, but lately they're all over the place.

  one came to my door a couple weeks ago and had that over glossy newbie look in her eyes .

  the pack that came today looked like they walked straight out of a musty thrift store....

  So you think you were a True Witness?

  by FaithfulBrother in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  fuck you.. i was raised in a jw family in the 1980's-1990's where we had to do the daily text 7 days a week during breakfast at the family table at 7am sharp between 7:00-7:15am.

  this was followed by a "spiritual discussion," which was held every morning between 7:15am and 8:00am.. since we were homeschooled, our weekly field service was required from childhood on friday mornings immediately following the spiritual discussion, followed by saturday afternoon field service after the bookstudy, as well as sunday afternoon field service after the watchtower study.. i was also required to read each watchtower and awake magazine and give oral reports about each magazine i read in order for my father to be sure that i had actually read them.

  i can't remember for sure, but i think each watchtower and awake was released every two weeks back then, making a new magazine to read every single week, followed by an oral report on every single article (including the watchtower study articles which i also had to read, then study in our weekly family watchtower study where we marked our answers, then studied again at the sunday watchtower study).. in addition to this, we also had a weekly family bible study at night each week, had a family bookstudy at night in which we marked our answers for the saturday morning bookstudy, had a family watchtower study at night where we marked our answers for the sunday morning watchtower study, had a family prayer together every night before bed, every morning before and after breakfast and every night before and after dinner (not including our half-family prayers for lunch by my mother since we were homeschooled.).

  Emergencies: What Do They Hope To Do?

  by metatron in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  some congregations are giving publishers lists of items and procedures for unnamed emergencies.. and what do these naive people, bereft of critical reasoning, hope to accomplish?

  are they fantasizing about living, enmasse, in the kingdom hall?

  do they have large food supplies stored there?

  Did U Ever "Stumble" Anyone? Were U Ever "Stumbled: By Another?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the reason many jws forgo things is because they are afraid of "stumbling" a brother or sister.

  just in case---they make it a point to not do or say something that could cause a person to leave "the truth".. i knew of some witnesses that were always "stumbled" by this or that.. so silly..

  "They took no note" - ?

  by compound complex in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a friend and i talked on the phone recently, and he read matthew 24:36-38 from 3 different versions of the bible.

  the various renderings indicated that the citizenry were not aware of a coming judgment nor did they suspect anything, giving rise to the thought: what did noah preach (if anything)?

  likewise, were people in areas far removed from noah's alleged ark building apprised of his monumental feat?
