Too bad the station house couldn’t find an Elder on the way out and have everyone baptized as JWs and then everyone formally quit. What would numbnuts do ?? They shun me and I am suing them for it but I can’t talk to them because I am shunning them.

the british have lost faith in religion much faster and more completely than they have lost faith in god.

the most recent survey to show this comes from win/gallup, which found that britain appeared one of the most irreligious countries on earth, with only 30% calling themselves religious.

Secularism and liberalism go hand in go. Liberalism leads to a sense of entitlement and a greater strain on social programs. Strains on social programs lead to a decrease in productivity. Decreases in productivity means jobs go away or governments just go broke. Europe got fat and lazy.

It might seem kind of stupid to see an American working for 7.75 at Walmart in Mississippi talking about the danger of unions but it is that right wing fox news nascar mentality NRA god guns and jesus that have given the US a competitive edge in the world economy. Plus the US hasn’t aborted an entire generation of young people.

I just love enlightened Europeans think they are , while they breed themselves out of existence as their economies collapse.

Even if Christianity is a myth there still a great value in the whole god, guns and country, get married , have three children American model is much better for a sustainable society.

I worked with a guy for years who was a Jehovah Witness. He played the different

congregation game for a few years , attending different congregation game till they just assumed he was attending the other one till he faded.

When I met my wife and was having problems with nosey elders I tried to ask him about it. He was all , it is wonderful to be a JW, We are the truth, blah blah blah. Little did I know at the time he was just scared I was going to blow his cover. I guess the elders ruined his marriage years ago.

I have seen him around a few times on sunday morning with a suit on but he isn't in the hall. I think he found another church and no longer cares. He is an absolute prince of a man.

conn. firefighter who is jehovah's witness files federal discrimination lawsuit.

I am of the opinion that a firefighter is a job where no special accommodation should be made under any circumstance. The ability to do your job depends on your ability to follow orders without question.

From what understand he is suing because the other firefighters in his unit, house, whatever it is called are not very nice to him and he feels it is a hostile workplace.................heck you could even say he is being shunned.

So

You are rude and disrespectful to fellow co-workers , community and country and repay them with a lawsuit ?? Because you believe they are hostile towards you ? It’s like calling someone “false religion “ and wondering why you get doors slammed in your face.

Freaking parasite. For people that claim to be no part of the world they sure don’t mind filing needless lawsuits looking for a free meal.

I worked with a dub one time and told him with complete seriousness we have a vacant room in the back that can be used for spiritual proposes so if you ever need to worship those men in Brooklyn feel free.

He wasn’t impressed but I still keep playing stupid.

Oh, Sorry, I you guys were about seven magical men or something like that.

Do Kingdom Hall congregations communicate with each other?

by Faithful Witness in

when asked, my mom denies that they do.... do local congregations pass along gossip or reports on householders in the area?

specifically, i am wondering if they might report on (unbaptized) family members that live in other towns?.

since the abrupt ending of my bs with miss k, i have not heard from the jw's at all.

When I studied I was place with literally the most arrogant and pompous assholes I have ever met. Being raised in an evangelical church it is pretty easy to dismantle the WTS and show how ridiculously stupid it all is. It is funny how you never hear of a pastor, priest or University level theology teacher ever becoming a JW.

After about 7-8 studies, he didn’t seem to interested in talking to me anymore. Me and the girlfriend got married and we moved away, she was marked of course. She moved to a new cong, got unmarked. I make a token effort time to time to keep the peace at home.

Not a single person has approached me about a study. Too bad, I love to talk about bible theology. The difference between a parable and the prophecy, who the angel of the lord in the old testament was, the plurality of god in the old testament and how it is explained in the book of john, how quotes using the divine name are used in the new testament, the difference between the physical nation of Israel and the church, mosic law and the law of Christ, the difference between the old and new conevent.

Not a single taker.

Sorry for bumping this thread but isn’t it depressing being a religion where no super freaky shit ever happens. Not saying I am not somewhat of a skeptic but I am like Mulder from the X-files, I want to believe. ( Near Death Experiences, Faith healing, various miracles).

Come to think of it, sometimes someone will say something so stupid in the KH it really makes me believe there are demons around.

“Just because don’t understand the light, doesn’t mean we shouldn’t obey “ .

“ The truth tomorrow can be different than the today but it important we keep shunning “

I keep expecting ghostbusters are going to kick in the door
