Degree of Effectiveness of JW Letter Writing Form of Witnessing
by Disillusioned JW ina 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 ?

With a whimper, not a bang
by JeffT inthe 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 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.

"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.

Jesus Creates a Monster

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.

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.
