i recently was on a trip in central america.

any kingdomhall i passed by had jw.org banners or scribble that went over what used to say kingdomhall.

in a flea market, and other business areas, i saw the infamous literature cart out.

fine line between idolotry and branding... just sayin.... .

i'm just seeing a lot of home-made or print on demand site items with jw.org logos pasted all over.

as an art director, i laugh, because it's hideous.

Not on jw.org - comments regarding bad Jehovah's Witness employees
by jwfacts in

2. scandals
i used to be very impressed with convention experiences regarding how worldly employers would hire jws because they were known as the most honest workers.

i was too indoctrinated to realise these were selective experiences, and there are plenty of experiences of jws being dishonest in the workforce.

i have received a couple recently by email.. i have cut quite a bit out of the following email i received so that the person and company cannot be indentified, but you will get the message.. .

my mentally in jw wife is trying to organize a "princess party" for my 4 year old daughter and her little cousins and friends.

she was looking at prices of a tent for the backyard party in case it rains.

she asked the hardware store how much and they said 90 dollars for the day.

can anyone point me in the direction of unbiased (or outside) sources for research.

i'm particularly interested in anything showing the teachings or russell and rutherford and proof of what the wts society was teaching in 1919?.

i don't want to direct my friend to an apostate site..

JW's DO celebrate Xmas!
by PrincessCynic in

i'm finding it really funny how many witnesses celebrate christmas without actually 'celebrating christmas'.

i'm just looking at facebook and seeing how many got together with family on christmas day or boxing day and had a big roast dinner, often with turkey, ate too much, drank too much, played some board games etc.

then a few days later i'm seeing photos from all their 'family present days' where the kids get a ton of gifts to open.
