Going to the C.L.A.M.

by freemindfade in

so i haven't been to a midweek meeting in some time.... but i must attend this first clam (not to be confused with 'klan') meeting.

.

want to take a look for curiosity sake then go back to never attending another midweek meeting again.

Do you think as an inactive one, I will be allowed to see the new workbook? My wife won't be able to be there this week, but I'm wondering when she gets her copy, if she will want to show it to me. This is a woman who had the 2015 JW calendar on our bedroom wall (I know, creepy!) but only changed the page once. Jan-June, same page. June to Dec. Same page.

Now we have a calendar of dogs from a shelter that need homes that she looks at constantly.

Vanilla ISIS & Y'All Qaeda: Oregon Gunmen Mocked On Social Media

by Simon in

i'm crying laughing at some of the hashtags in this article:.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/yall-qaeda-vanilla-isis_568a3421e4b06fa68882bb6d.

if this does one thing, it shows up the craziness of the claim that an armed militia "standing up to the government" has any role in a modern democratic society.

I would suggest just deactivating their phones, cut off water and electricity, and then just wait. Nothing comes in, nothing goes out, except those who have a change of heart and are willing to accept the consequences.

Another heavy load :Literature Cart Witnessing

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

jehovah's witnesses standing on a street corner publicly promoting the propaganda of the governing body!another ridiculous form of "forced loyalty" to jehovah.

"dirty work" that the wtbts make witnesses go through.preaching work '' lite''.putting more heavy loads on members while the ''faithful and discreet slave'' preach from warm studios without the humiliation.

what an embarrassment!.

Perhaps instead of living like kings already, the GB could set a fine example by throwing away their life at the retreat in upstate NY and instead disperse to the 4 corners of the earth. Each could pick a continent (1 can stay behind to do the jw.broadcasting thing or maybe cover the Mid-East if they are so inclined) and head out. They would be like Jesus with no place to lay their head , relying on the kindness of strangers and the local 'friends'. Surely their future reward would be great!

Inactive brother that on line games with fellow JWs

by joe134cd in

just wanting to know if anyone knows of a similar case and what's the deal with it.

i have an inactive jw acquaintance who hasn't been inside a kh for at least a couple of years.

yet the weird thing is there is a net work of jws that he dose on line gaming with.

FadeToBlack

Doc, there are lots of 'young' men in their 30's who are still very active in the online gaming community. I think for the most part, it falls into the category of don't ask/don't tell. It is an outlet for them.

Do the others involved know he is an inactive JW or do they just know him as KhaleedTheAvenger? I'm also curious what type of game they are playing. Most would not meet the approval of the GB.

Sounds like she is ready to make the most of a good university education. I hope she has the opportunity.

Is Watchtower Really A Real Estate Business?

by OneFingerSalute in

i told a still in dubya that the wt was now officially in the real estate buisness.. they looked at me like i had grown a second head.

so i showed them a web site, which they loudly proclaimed to be "apostate".

then i showed them the rest of the web site and asked how long the official jay dubya dot org web site was aligned with an "apostate" web site.. i hate to link that site but as it is somewhat covered up by the dubya's and it may be of some use in making someone think about the money grabs, and the constant begging for more money from those who have little of it for the necessities of life i do so here.

Thank you Jesus. A new homepage for sure.

I loved this bit:

Rare entire city block development site at the foot of the Manhattan Bridge, located in the heart of DUMBO’s energetic live/work/play community.

In other words, not something we as JW's would engage in, but you are welcome to it...
