a newspaper article quotes a jw as saying "every (letter) i put in the mailbox, i feel, 'ah, this could reach somebody.
'" the article also quotes her as saying "we are accomplishing even more now than we were door-to-door because this way everybody in the house gets a chance to pick up that letter and respond to it.
it just feels good.
Just a thought ? Could the virus be spread by letter writing ? Your handling of the paper your writing on , maybe you need to lick the stamp to post the letter or maybe even licking the envelope to seal it ?
Just maybe it could be another way to spread the virus to a whole household .
I wonder ?
the thread about old timers got me thinking about trends i see with the watchtower.
i've changed my opinion about where the organization stands.
when i joined the religion in 1973 it was dynamic, even the small congregation i attended sent out three or four pioneers.
"The world" [of WT] "Wont end with a bang but a whimper" ,Quote from "On The Beach" by neville Schute , and made into a movie set in Melbourne . Australia.
AND THE REASONS BEING SEE ABOVE.

The big problem with the JW`s religion is their pushing the GT ,and the big A ,as being imminent ,soon ,any day now ,and the last of the last ,last days.
When none of this ever happens and doesn`t even look like happening even the most die-hard JW`s are going to call it BS.
They cant keep stringing this line on forever.
I`m surprised they haven`t come up with the last hours / minutes of the last day before this, just to string it along a bit further .
And if they do; they got it from here.
hi friends,.
are here still some oldtimers from the earlier jwd time?
gorby .
Hi Gorby ,I`ve been around for many a years always as smiddy1,2,or 3 due to pc and old age issues ,logging on or off. Good to hear from you.
has anybody here been watching the series on stan or anywhere else called the godfather of harlem ?
.
i think it was towards the end of the 3rd episode of series one where the question is raised .. i am so far enjoying the episodes i`ve watched ..
"Christianity Equalls Slavery And Death
Islam Equals Freedom And Justice
Who Do You Think I Going To Survive Armageddon."
These words were stated on the wall inside the Mosque that Malcom X belonged to according to the "Stan" series "The Godfather of Harlem"
I wasn`t aware that Islam beleived in Armageddon were you ? I know they viewed Moses ,Abraham ,Jesus as prophets but the big "A" ? no.
did you burn up the pictures?
do you still have them?
.
I still have pics & videos of my niece who doesnt contact us anymore ,i see no reason to shun her ,and if she ever leaves the cult i will welcome her back with open arms.
We have good memories of our times together.
is it a requirement for all bethelites to take the shots?
just wondering!
.
Can corporations require their Volunteers to receive the vaccine ? The WTB&TS doesnt employ anyone .
i recently found this image of jesus, with a caption, a reminder of past stupidity in believing that kind, loving jesus, would (on behalf of old yhwy) look after me when he 99% of the people on this earth.. .
in case you're wondering i found it on a pinterest page.. proverbs 8, of course.
personifies wisdom - and the passages are controversial and the subject of some academic analysis (e.g.
That was hard viewing FTS . I hate animal cruelty in any form.
Every living thing on this planet does so by the mostly violent death of another living thing.
God is love ? I don`t think so ,and neither can Jesus be as it means he has been complicit in all of the atrocious things God has done in the Old Testament.
That is ,if you believe in th Bible in the first place.
my name is debra i have been out of this cult for a number of years now but i know how difficult it is for people to have the courage to leave especially if they have family still trapped inside i'd like to help people who may be struggling by offering them a listening ear and some support /friendship via email .
Welcome Debra lets get to know you a little better, and you us . I know as a JW we went in cold turkey trying to "befriend" the householders we met at the doors in FS and we had an agenda not to be their friends but to convert them .
This really is a good forum debra I hope you stick around.
we do talk a lot about how this site doesn’t center on all things jw.
so what would you like to discuss?.
the floor is yours..
why they believe that is now Russia as the King of the North ?
During the cold war they believed and taught that the U.S.S.R. was the king of the North .
And after the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. was disbanded it lay in limbo for a time .
Now its Russia? I think they would be better off saying its China, with her military build up/expansion taking place.
