  Why Do Kingdom Halls Smell Funny?

  by Englishman in

  .

  having visited dozens of kh's over the years, i can indeed confirm that they all have the same smell about them imho.. it's not very nice either, perhaps even a little sinister is the odour that emanates from most of them.. i wonder what it is that get's up my nose so?.

  The Watchtower Letters, part 1

  by NeonMadman in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  recently, i was going through some very old files, and i came across a folder containing correspondence i had with the watchtower society, mainly back in the 1970's, when i was a true-blue believer.

  i wasn't shy about writing to them for answers back in those days, whenever an issue arose that i couldn't resolve in other ways.

  some of the letters are that sort of two-way correspondence, others are things like form letters from the society to pioneers, and other stuff like that.

  These critics who pick at such a small item make themselves ridiculous, plainly imbalanced.

  HAHAHAHAHAHA......................

  Looky at who's calling who imbalanced!

  I couldn't even wade through the whole date-part of the letter they sent you... I was getting that glazed-brain-deer-caught-in-the-headlights-of-a-Mack-truck feeling I haven't felt in a while and I had to stop.

  No wonder that was the beginning of the end for you.

  Thanks for sharing...keep 'em coming!

  They don't think it is lying. They call it 'theocratic warfare' and believe all is fair in the process of training new slaves salespeople for the publishing company.

  Thank God you got the kids. You've saved them much misery... sorry it cost so much but I'd say it's worth every penny.

  Nice job! Very well written. They can't help but at least feel a twinge.

  Super idea to cc the congregation. You have planted many seeds here today, if this helps but one person leave you will have done a great thing. May Apollos water well for you.

  Hugs, V

  since we're accused by some of being so negative about jehovah's witnesses, let's start a thread regarding some positive things about being a witness or believing in the organization.

  Being a JW enabled me to become an EX-JW which means I get to participate in Minimus' threads on JWD.

  hawk, .

  would judge groff be interested in the watchtower's own admission that they aren't clergy?

  the first quote is from the february 15, 1994 watchtower.

  Did You Know Jehovah & Jesus Attend Meetings & Want You To Scrub Floors?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  according to the watchtower of dec. 15, 1985, jehovah and his son attend the meetings at the kingdom hall.

  "how can you show gratitude for what jesus did" is the article that you should review.

  this is what it states:"since jehovah and jesus are present invisibly at these gatherings, grateful christians will not snub them, as the apostates do, but rather do all they reasonably can to attend regularly.

  Getting bitten by a mean dog. Doctor, tetanus shot, my clueless mother dealing with owner about rabies, etc. I was only a little kid.

  We were back "out in servitude" the next weekend.
