Can JWs really vote now , since when?
Just like Blood Transfusions,it`s a Conscience Matter..
As long as you make the WBT$ Approved Choice..("Don`t Vote")
No action will will be taken against you by the WBT$..

Making The Wrong Choice in WatchTower World..
HAS CONSEQUENCES..
a few years ago a jw lost her husband.
she had enough money to build a nice home but she went over budget and the house remains unfinished.
this past year another jw lost his wife... but there is a happy ending!
i think that few parts of the bible can make you atheist or at least agnostic or at least kill your belief in the bible as infallible or the work of a loving god as comparing 2 samuel 24 with 1 chronicles 21. most people focus on the 1st verse, but there are at least 4 major and 1 minor contradiction in the chapter (they are parallel accounts).in the new world translation, 2 samuel 24 starts like this:.
24 and again the anger of jehovah came to be hot against israel, when one incited david against them, saying: “go, take a count of israel and judah.” .
notice that it is an impersonal "one" who incited david to do the census.
This should make most reasonable people stop believing in the Bible as infallible
last saturday i sat through the one day assembly and i waited for the anticipated accounts report.
for one day the costs were $10,000.
even my wife questioned why the costs are so high and why don't they give a break down on the costs?

i know most of us have probably figured this out already, but remember the good old days where you could only count full hours in the ministry?.
then one of the gb get some "new light" from their ass and proclaim that they lovingly will allow people to report 30mins, then even 15mins of time.
this was, supposedly, so that the old and infirm could have a joy in the ministry and report what little they could do.
etc etc - What is "etc. etc."? - are you suggesting dogs?......TheOldHippie
JW`s would be happy to count hours preaching to their dogs..
.............................................
IT WOULDN`T SURPRISE ME,IF SOME DO..
anyone else hear about this.
as all j-dubs know, whenever someone complains about how long the "new system" is taking too arrive, they use the excuse that jehovah works on his own time.
quite a few times during the public talks, i've heard speakers say the phrase "1000 years to us is only one day to jehovah" (my parents never stop talking about this).
I've heard speakers say the phrase "1000 years to us is only one day to Jehovah" 1000 Years is Like 1 Day
Watchtower could say any stupid thing to JW`s...They`d believe it..

A Pickle to us,is a Basket Ball to Jehovah..
for those who were never a jw, here's a fun guide to passing yourself as one:.
privilege [priv-lij] - a duty nobody would volunteer to do which is assigned to you without your say so.
such as cleaning the toilets, picking up other brats candy wrappers in the back row and being stuck on locking up duty for the 7th time in a row.. df'd [dee-eff'd] - disfellowshipped.
FINE..
That was a FINE talk Brother Boring gave!..
Everything is FINE in Watchtower World..
THE FRIENDS..
You can`t have a "real friend" outside the WBT$.....It`s frowned upon..
Your Only Real Friends Are..
"THE FRIENDS" / OTHER JW`s..
just wondering.
for you scotch lovers, i've been partial to singles for a long time, but was recently given a bottle of johnnie walker green.
i think i've fallen in love.
.
i was going to put this in my thread about pyramid schemes, but i thought it's discreet enough to warrant its own.
1) there are many faithful jws.
2) there are many men and women who could take control and fill the void if the watchtower collapses.
Also, this very year, they've made promises that they cannot take back about the great tribulation.
Watchtower has an explanation for everything..
...............................................................
A)..We never said that.
B)..We have New Light..
C)..Your causing division in the congregation..
YOU COULD BE DISFELLOWSHIPPED..
several years ago, i was introduced to a "wonderful" company called fortune hi tech marketing by a brother and his wife.
they had been introduced by a former sheriff who claims he had researched the company and found no leins or judgments, and that former sheriff had been brought in by a pastor.
you can read what happened with fhtm on wikipedia if you so desire.. this whole new idea of multilevel marketing had my brain reeling, though, and soon enough, i actually signed up with none other than prepaid legal.
Pyramid schemes were very common among JW`s when I was growing up..
One would die,another would pop up..
There was always a new way for JW`s..
To Financially Screw their Spiritual Bothers and Sisters..
It was part of JW CULTure..
