JW internal warfare threatens the Tract campaign

by Quarterback in

i overheard this argument re the new tract campaign.

one elder told a publisher, to hide the tract in the mailbox if the home owner wasn't home.

the publisher was used to folding the tip of the tract, and just left a tip showing.

I got a hand written letter in my mail box one time about Jesus and God and stuff. This was long before I had anything to do with the Witnesses. It seemed odd and very personal. Funny thing is it didn’t even mention the word Jehovah.

Then I married a dub and saw my wife writing those stupid letters. Man, they take a long time. Then I realized it had nothing to actually do with the letter. It was just an ingenuous way to waste time. Why use a photocopier when you can just rack up the hours as a 12 th century scribe.

When I found this out, I thought maybe the person who wrote the letter was sincere. I then realized if they used the word Jehovah, I would know who it was and it was illegal.

World Events bring about A Renewed Zeal!!!

hi guys!

is anyone sensing an increasingly sanctimonious arrogance in j-dubs recently?

im asking this as i am finding that with the two major news stories in the last few weeks (ie.

Clambake

About four years ago I listened to this speaker at a Full Gospel church about the Arab Spring and how the United Nations will promise to protect Israel and this treaty will be broken. It was pretty much the standard evangelical position where the church and Israel are two different things. Israel will be attacked by its neighbours and BAM jesus comes back.

The funny thing is he said something like the good guys today will be the enemies of tomorrow. It kind of ironic that Gaddafi, Assad, Saddam etc etc were really the lesser of two evils.

This really just isn’t a JW thing.

I like to tell the JW I will be raptured before things get too bad. Man, it pisses them off.

I just loved "Moley" life in the new system thread but I have more to add.

by booker-t in

moley i just loved your thread on life in the new system but i was also wondering what will happen if old testament patriachs such as noah, abel, moses and others decide they do not want to be jws in the new system will they be destroyed by jehovah and jesus after all of their faithful service?

i have always wondered about this because they are not guranteed everlasting life until they past the final test after the 1000 year reign of jesus.

what happens if moses is angry with jehovah after he is reserrected and cannot believe it took so long 4000 years for the great tribulation will he be wiped out instantly.

I am kind of thinking it will be like Pro-Wrestling. Noah, David, Moses etc vs the Governing Body. I am guessing David will turn heel and join the Governing Body.

Does anyone live by any Bible stuff?

by punkofnice in

this is not meant to be a slag off the bible thread.. i had a question asked me the other day and it was: 'do you live by anything from the bible?'.

i had to think about that one because i was force grown in the filthy, disgusting cult of the paedophile loving watchtower(r).. you know what?

i really don't know if i just naturally am a great bloke or if any 'nice' bits in the bible influenced me......or has western culture been influenced by the bible for good and bad?.

I consider myself Pro-life. Not that protest outside clinics or cover my cars in bumper stickers or anything.

I have found myself in arguements before and people would say things like " Does your magicial man in the sky control womens bodies ". Till this day I can't really tell you what the bible really says about the subject, nor do I really care. I have just seen what a 22-24 week abortion looks like and it is freakin evil man.

It is kind of like you when see that Awake " Children who put god first "cover. I actually told an elder that once, I consider he at about the level as an abortonist making children walk around with those blood cards. He was a pompus prick.

Now where do we get our moral code from ?? I am just saying I don't think it is all bad. Just the cults.

for those still "in" what's the mood

by lastchance in

in my area the general sense is bleak.

many are in survival mode.

even at the convention the appearance of the majority was unhappy and tired.

This Saturday there was two cars in the parking lot in a congregation of 80 or so publishers. I really have no idea how we are supposedly all getting an average of 9 hours a month. I don’t even know how the pioneers are doing it. I know one has leached on to someone unemployed loser and they just hang out all day. I think the ones with children are just using family study night as a write off.

To the single and childless people in the cong, man it has to be tough.

Local Elder wins hot tub.

by Clambake in

an elder in my cong.

test drove a new a car and was entered in this contest to win a new hot tub.

i don't know if he had to enter to was just.

Clambake

That is true but I would imagined he actually entered his name on a piece of paper................so.

Mind you, I have seen his wife reading Nora Roberts books when manning a literature cart. I thought that was kind of funny.
