The best way to debate JW's without being labeled an apostate

by cookiemaster in

hey guys!

here's what i found to be the best way (for me at least) to debate jw's without earning the laber of apostate.

this is mostly valid when debating jw's that don't know you personally, but it could help with those that do too.

I like your approach, but cloak it aa a reason why householders reject god

as if it's something JWs need to overcome

then you can point out all kinds of discrepancies that "stumble" those silly worldly people

Window-washer is the cover of Feb 2015 WT, "How to enjoy your work!" Hahaha!!

by EndofMysteries in

.

after all the jokes and satire on this website about jw's only being able to amount to window washers and house cleaners, the cover page of "how to enjoy your work" showing a window washer and cleaner in the back ground.

i almost wonder if some awakened, still-in, from this site is part of the writing department or illustrations and put that in there as an inside joke for us?.

There is certainly nothing wrong with honest work,

but as mentioned, you can't keep doing this for 40 years into Retiremebt

the WTS makes out the "new system" to be soooo close so you don't have to worry about short sighted planning

I just had fun giving a talk!

by OneEyedJoe in

so, unfortunately, i'm still on the tms and had a talk tonight (in front of a co, no less) and the talk was on the subject of adultery.

in the source material there's reference to "spiritual adultery" i.e.

idolotry or when israel had alliances with pagan nations.

Nice job ;)

i once wrote a talk at my seat during the meeting cause I forgot about my talk

the SO commended me for all the preparation I had obviously done 😜

Those of you stuck in with kids&question about spouse

by All for show in

it is killing me now that i am awake, having kids in school and having to be jws.

birthdays, christmas, thanksgiving, having to go home or be left out because their teachers know they are witnesses and/or have kids from the school in their class or grade.

it's a small town so the other jws in the hall know what's going on since their kids are in the same school.

wallsofjericho

yup thats me

you need to decide to be JW's or not. You can't have all the "worldly" stuff and be a JW, eventually you'll get busted. Kids can't keep secrets and shouldn't have too.

Your kids will give away to the JW's that you are ok with birthdays or holidays etc.

either decided to be JW's or not too. I am stuck in and i have had to decide to be JW's (for now) I know that sounds hypocritical but I beleive you have to be all in or all out, you can't send mixed messages

Any Veggie Juicers Here?

by SnarlingRaven in

i have been juicing off and on for a couple of years ever since i saw a the documentary, sick, fat, and nearly dead, and my health has taken a remarkable upswing.

no doubt in my mind that drinking live celled water rich green veggie juice is one of the best things you can do for your health and longevity.

time is sometimes a thing, and don't always have the time and patience to juice the veggies and clean up the juicer parts.

wallsofjericho

yes I juice

I go in spurts where I am on it daily for weeks then weeks go by and my veggies go soggy in the fridge

I definitely feel better on the juice. if its been a while since my last batch I notice a big response in my guts immediately with girgling and whooshing noises followed by greatly improved regularity :)

Double-life, sounds like a prison sentence....or maybe not?

by sparrowdown in

friends

question: do you think the "double-lifers" have the best of both worlds?.

just asking, because i have wondered, if i had an outlet to express my utter.

disgust and general dissatisfaction with wt teachings and cong-life while i. was still in, ie on forums etc, maybe i would never have left.. just a thought, anyone else have any?.

wallsofjericho

the best AND the worst

No longer to use "house to house record" slips and "please follow up slips"!

by stuckinarut2 in

a letter has just been read out indicating that effective immediately, witnesses are no longer to use the s-8 slip known as the "house to house" record slip, as well as the s-43 "please follow up" slip (usually used for foreign language people).. the letter stated that this is because of the changes in privacy laws etc that are becoming common in the world today.. i will try and get a copy of the full letter and post it asap.. .

wallsofjericho

Defender of truth

yes these are instructions but worded as suggestions

and there is nothing here that implies the WTS is monitoring, maintaining or in any way involving themselves in this relationship

i believe thus instructuring and removal of slips are connected and limit liability to the BOrg

A day in the life of a Cop...my story. The truth.

by Witness 007 in

i work for a mental health unit with 2 police officers we deal with people who have drug and mental health issues.

at times over the last 10 years we have "taken down" some large drug affected men, mainly "ice" these days which is epidemic here, and let me tell you even with three of us it is a huge struggle.

sometimes back up is needed or mace spray which is aweful stuff!
