Matter of Faith and Evidence
by Amazing inmatter of faith and evidence .
1975 an inspiration: all my life i have held to faith in god and jesus christ.
when i left the catholic church in the late 1960s it was somewhat painful, but my new found religion of jehovahs witnesses seem to be the "right thing at the right time" given the social and family unrest at the time.

Reasons why I hate the JW's...
by TheApostleAK ini've witnessed these all...unfortunately... this is for all here who aren't jw's or xjw's.
this is what the jw's r really like.... problem: get rid of the crusty old geezers doing privledges.
example: the old has-beens who think they are elders and can boss people around.. problem: the thing where u have to ask the elders for everything.. example: in the literature room there was a box of old books, of which were books i needed to plug up gaps in my collection.

Hey, I can't see out!
by Outaservice ini noticed almost all new kingdom halls are without windows, even in neighborhoods that are quite safe and crime free.
some have said it's because they do not want you looking out and daydreaming.
others have said it slows down the two day quick build miracles by at least an hour.. my mother may have hit it on the head when she said, "when the time comes it will be easier for them to 'gas' you!".

Read God's Word the Holy Bible Daily
by Nicodemus infor decades now, those words have appeared atop one of the watchtower societys buildings in new york city.. that exhortation may never have been more needed by jehovahs people themselves than it is today.
recent posts have asked good questions regarding what can or will sustain individual jehovahs witnesses who do truly love god, but who may be disheartened by various things they have seen in the organization.. it is clear to me that many witnesses spend far more time reading the societys publications than gods word itself.
one reason sometimes given is that the preparation and research has already been done for you, thus making it easier.

Making the Word of His Servant Come True
by RationalWitness inisaiah 44:26 quotes jehovah as saying: "i am .
the one making the word of his servant come true, and the one that carries out completely the counsel of his own messengers.".
the 5/1/97 watchtower says of this: jehovah god is the grand identifier of his true messengers.

Show me the money!
by Outaservice inmy wife and i have at different times and different assemblies worked in accounting.
we noticed a pattern of manipulation of figures to move the brothers to contribute more thinking that the assembly was short the needed cash to take care of expenses even when there was plenty of money!.
has anyone else out there ever worked in the 'money room' also, and if so, what did you observe?.
