Imagine going from D2D or standing by a cart witnessing in that area for the next few weeks ?
I bet witness activity has almost come to a standstill
I must bring this subject up if I see a cart or a JW comes to my door

Stupid WT Q's : Is It Wise or Safe to Keep a Dog? Demons—How Can We Resist Them?
by Sea Breeze inyes, that is an actual question in the awake magazine.
jw kids lives are already miserable enough trying to obey all the ignorant rules of the wt.. no sports, no school dance, no holidays.... just field service.
as if that isn't enough.... let's take away their puppy dogs too!.

question for those who either aux pioneered pioneered
by enoughisenough inhow many of you would have spent the hours "pioneering" if it weren't for the pats on the back and being looked up to as someone special in the congregation?
i will admit that back in late 1970's i attempted to aux pioneer during a campaign because it was promoted and seemed the right thing to do,but i didn't get the hours and it was stressful trying to...and i didn't feel like a cheerful giver.
i never attempted it again.

When I was an active JW I tried the beard thing and at the time I grew a goatee that was well groomed ,I soon got the attention of the P,O, as they were called at that time.
And I was pressured to give it up .Many years later I tried it again and got a slap on my wrist so to speak and had to give it away again.
I`ve been out since 1993 and haven`t been without a well groomed beard since then .

Honest Hearted Ones
by Sea Breeze inthere are certain wt terms that sound biblical but really just puff up the pride.
hundreds of times the wt has used the term honest-hearted in their literature.
it sounds biblical, if for no other reason because we hear it so often in jw circles.

If anyone is not honest hearted it is the Jehovah`s Witnesses themselves !
If they were honest hearted they wouldn`t be Jehovah`s Witnesses

Remember the green book ? "Your will be Done on Earth " had a lot to say about this and how the 60`s and 70`s would fulfil Daniels prophecy if my memory serves me correctly.

Jehovah's Witnesses and Apostates
by tfjw injehovah's witnesses basically define the term "apostate" as someone who was once a member of the "organization" (a jehovah's witness) but no longer follows the teachings, rules, regulations and practices.
the society gives their official definition in the following manner: "apostasy is abandoning or deserting the worship and service of god, actually a rebellion against jehovah god.
some apostates profess to know and serve god but reject teachings or requirements set out in his word.

In trying to protect their members from being influenced by apostates the GB twist the meaning of the word to include a hatred of former friends and associates the former members had.
And this is just not true .The "apostates" don`t cut off association with in many cases life long friends ,it`s the JW`s who do so.

Would you still be angry with Lloyd Evans ?
by BettyHumpter inif instead of thailand, he had gone to a place where its legal and (supposedly) has some sort of oversight to prevent exploitation?
like nevada in the u.s or amsterdam in europe?
would the being unfaithful part still be a deal breaker as far as supporting his channel?

It boggles my mind that Lloyd Evans is still a subject for discussion on this forum ?

Hi ,Noni ,my condolences to you .I don`t recall I had that much emotion when my mother died but I feel I did when my father died .
They were never involved in the cult of JW`s, I was .
They were good loving parents and my mother doted on me ,I feel like I was the bastard son that didn`t respect that .and have felt guilt ever since.
July 5 is my birthdate.
