by Juan Viejo2 in

calvin rouse describes himself as "general counsel for the national organization of jehovah's witnesses out of brooklyn, new york.".

while representing one of the defendants during a trial held in san mateo county court in redwood city, california, on february 22, 2012, rouse made this amazing statement:.

"ordinarily, i wouldn't be here, but this is one our 13,000 congregations in the united states.

Watchtower Bait & Switch?

watchtower bait & switch?

today i uploaded a new article to my blog addressing a discrepancy between what watchtower tells potential converts prior to baptism compared with what watchtower tells converts after baptism.

in each case watchtower tells the individual something in straightforward terms.

Thank you Marvin, I save all the images from your blog on my iPhone in hopes that one day my in-laws will listen

@ssn587 The NWT left out 12 verses from Mark 16:9-20 and 12 verses from John 7:53-8:11. http://www.catholicapologetics.info/scripture/translations/neworld.htm

I would love to have another go with her but I blocked her, I don't want my inbox filled with JW crap.

@dm6 ahahhaaa, I bet it would but then again she'll probably send me to another scripture.

Jehovah's Witnesses with OBVIOUS drinking problems?

hi guys, been a while since i've posted.

summer is very busy at my job, lots of ot, which is good because winter is slow and i barely get my f/t hours.

anyway, i had to post this to see if anyone has seen a similiar situation in their congregation.. i drive a lot for work, do home visits for a local visiting nurse association.

My in-laws hide liquor in their room. They said it's to keep it from their son and it helps my MIL sleep. My kids found it and brought it up in front of them. Two different stories at once, ahahhahaa. I think they were embarrased.

Oh, I forgot to mention. I asked her about the blood issue. How is it that JW's can have fractions from blood fractions, is that not blood? She said she abstains from it and it's a personal choice.

I also asked her if the JW's were not controlling then why no beards and women have to wear dresses. She asked if I'd go to church in jeans, I told her yes. I keep it real plus God and my church accepts me regardless.

There was 157 posts on that one post and I guess she told my friend she reported me to Facebook so he deleted the whole thing.

Hi all,

I haven't posted in awhile but I read your posts everyday from my iPhone. Ok, a friend on Facebook posted a question. He is in no way religious but he asked what's the man upstairs name. I chimed in with the spew about the Catholic monk getting his name wrong and every religion running with it. He then told me Jehovah's Witnesses aren't all that bad, I was taken aback by that. I didn't mention that religion in particular. I told him, yes they are and if he invites them in then all his rap music, sc-fi movies, football and girls are out the door.

In pops a chick, a zealous J-DUB. OMG! She started putting me down for saying that and went into a spew about how they are rightous.Her profile pic is of her being dunked in a pool

Reading JWN everyday, I thought, hmm she wants to GOD battle. So I told her I am Catholic and I do not believe every doctrine the have but the difference between her and I is that I can question it. I asked her basic questions and SHE ANSWERED ME WITH A QUESTION. I told her I know the JW's tactic all too well about not answering but instead diverting my questions. She asked if God wanted us to DIE then why would he put Adam and Eve on earth to fill the earth. I told her that was not his initial intention, Eve dis-obeyed God and he punished them both along with their offspring. I told her if she noticed that it's always a woman's fault, well Adam's dumb-azz ate from the tree as well. I told her women get thrown under the bus in the JW sect.

She then went on to say they are Christains, I told her they are not a Christain as in worshipping Jesus. To the JW's he was a perfect man and in the 1950's they stopped worshipping him. I asked her where in the scriptures does it say JESUS was Michael. Of course she brushed that question off.

Then she went after another poster asking how is Jesus God. Oh ya, I butted in there too cuz this poor girl couldn't answer that. I asked her what does John 1:1 mean. She wouldn't touch it and she moved onto another, her bible buahahhahaa!!! I posted quotes from leading scholers saying how bad the NWT is translated. I posted all the verses which the watchtower left out of the NWT. I told her the re-writers of the NWT only had a high school diploma and one had a years worth of Greek, not BIBLICAL Greek. Yup, she changed the subject again.

Now it turned to how JW's treat everyone fair, hmmm, I had to post quotes from jwfacts.com. How, they viewed the black skin (she is black). I started with that thinking it might get through to her. Nope, she said she never heard of that. I told her of course not, those books are out of the library and no longer reprint.

I then asked her if she new about 1914 and 1975. She wouldn't answer so I told her they got it wrong again and they had to cover their azzes and say Jesus came invisibly. In the scriptures it says Jesus will be known when he comes.

She didn't answer anymore so I asked her is she's 'shunning' my questions and if this is 'theorcratic warfare' by refusing to answer mine but to go off on other posters. Instead, I told her she's in a cult and I pray Jesus wakes her up.

I get an email and she turned me in saying I attacked her personally. Ummm, not I didn't. She got angry at what the watchtower taught about blacks. I informed her they were not my words but quotes. Then the ghetto came out of her, she told the original poster that he better shut this b!tch's mouth and I'm speaking bile about the watchtower. I laughed it off of course. I never take words serious.

Sorry, for some reason I cannot copy and paste.

Anyways, I don't have a lot of knowledge of the JW's doctrine but I impressed my hubby

I surely hope she does take all what I wrote and quoted into consideration.

Thanks all for listening

The Most bizzare & Scariest thing happened to me last night

by dm6 in

hello everybody.. i wanted to share something with you all about something that happened to me last night.. i usually get these things called sleep paralysis, which is where you are alseep and you wake up and you think, oh ill get up now or soemthing, so you go to get up and you cant.. your actually paralysed.

but the strange thign is your awake....?

its very very hard to explain.

PinkPajamasx

Hun, you need to get that checked out ASAP. I'm an epileptic that had these same symptoms and was diagnosed with temperal lobe seizures. What you're experiencing is very vivid and feels real but it isn't. Good luck to you and tell your parents.

Conversation I overheard this morning...

by Morbidzbaby in

so this morning i decided to go see if i could find some interesting used books for my flight in a couple of weeks and i saw a jw from one of the local congregations...she didn't see me, even though she was directly behind me looking at the same section of books.

i'm not exactly easy to miss, but i digress.. she was on the phone and was talking about a few things that i found incredibly interesting.

firstly, i guess a woman that just got baptized last year is absolutely fed up with the org!

My hubby told me that an elder pulled him aside to tell him to never wear all black again to the kingdom hall. He told him he looks like a ninja. My husband is Filipino and I took that as borderline stero-typing and racist. It still angers me to this day to think about it. Oh, BTW the elder was white and I think if he told his mom, she would of defended the elder. SAD, strange religion.

A concerned JW wrote "mistakes will happen."

in the thread http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/213523/1/feeling-a-bit-alienated, concerned jw wrote:.

concerned jw, if mistakes will happen, i was wondering what mistakes you feel the jw organization is currently making?

PinkPajamasx

Funny thing about bringing up mistakes the WatchTower has made and their un-scriptual doctrines to my in-laws they both say, "well I don't know about that" and quickly point out Catholics mistakes. It doesn't phase me because I am no longer practicing. I wish I can get them to take a look at all I have discovered in their cult. I am careful to not make them think I know their religion is mind controlling but I do throw questions at them. Never ever do I get a straight answer, it's always I don't know and I have to make Jehovah happy. So sad, they are throwing their lives away on bullsh!t. My mother-in-law promised to sit down and listen but now she avoids any conversation. She told us, where else can she go. I wanted to shake her and tell her to Jesus ya blind fool but I held my tongue. As long as we are planting lil seeds like y'all say, she'll get there.
