  Cable vs the Antenae tower

  by Quarterback in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i kind of wanted to know if some have made this transition from escaping the satellite/cable monopoly to the large antenaes that require no monthly bills.

  does it work?

  is there a good quality such as hi def?

  We live in southern Ontario and we have always had antennaes. This last antennae is screwed into the chimmney, yeah, no more getting me to go outside and wait to be yelled at as I am turning it around until the picture comes in.LOL. Hated when the converter box would burn out or the antennae wouldn't turn anymore and one of you have to go outside and turn it. Guess who had to go outside and turn the stupid thing. He gets really excited when a pic comes in for I have to be real quick in stopping it. Didn't really care to change the channel for you just knew you would have to go outside again. I would usually high tale it upstairs to bed before the ending of a show. We live out in the country and are surrounded by a forest. Reception can be a problem and then in the winter more so. We get thirteen channels and no bills.

  Why do you come here?

  by love2Bworldly in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i come here to learn, but i also come here because it feels like a private club and i'm privy to be a member of the "in" crowd.

  it's a great place to socialize.

  does anyone else feel that they are a member of a special "club" when they come here, that only some people in this world will understand the jw world?.

  It's like confirmation(making sure of what you want) to never go back. Remember when you joined the ministry school, you had to go talk to an elder for confirmation? And he said your in and will sign you up? Then, you needed confirmation to get baptized so you had to answer over one hundred questions and then you were confirmed and got baptized? Then, you had to be confirmed when you went to auxillary pioneer and when we wanted to pioneer, my husband and I had to sit through three hours of three elders, two of which tried to turn us off from pioneering and one elder fighting on our behalf by telling us to just say yes and take it up the ass, then we were allowed to pioneer. Same with working at the bethel farm. Well, now we use this sight as our confirmation to never ever ever get sucked into any other religion especially this cult ever again! Thank god for this site, JWFacts and JWSurvey. This is why we come here, to reconfirm our confirmation of never going back and to show others

  I wish we would have come here first before joining this cult for I might have read it a few times and that would have been the end of it instead of losing everything over night and having no reason or basis for our dismissal. All because we stopped going, period. Years and money gone down the toilet but this evil cult has made us more aware of what's lurking in our world around us. For that I guess I am grateful.

  Three Sunday speakers in a row telling the congregation that Jesus is mediator for ALL mankind is new. Some of the members from our former hall have mentioned this and wonder if society is quietly putting that "nu-lite" in so when someone notices they can say it's always been that way. I called the bethel to see if that was a new doctrinal change and they said no and then he asked what congregation and what speaker so I told them. Now I am going to call again so they can keep saying no until they have to wonder it themselves or at least wonder why their speakers keep making this announcement and without their eight golden calves approval.

  Not seniors, but have been retired since forty-five and are now going on fifty-four. Life is good! I would have to say we are more busy than when we had our plant. At least we are doing what we want to do. And we are very thankful for OHIP here in Ontario. I find I am taking more trips to the doctors but so glad that we aren't billed for it. My heart goes out to those in the States where they have to pay literally an arm and a leg for there health costs. It's just so unfair.

  Are we starting to treat DF people differently?

  by Quarterback in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  some may remember the time when the private study edition of the wt wasn't to be made available to outsiders, and the df'd.. now, with the recent boe letter, sept 1, 2014, it specifically states that jw.org is making the km available even for df'd individuals.. do you sense a new trend developing?.

  A QUESTION I HAVE NEVER HEARD ANSWERED BY JWs

  by NAVYTOWN in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the jws make such a big deal about not taking (eating) blood in any form.

  that being the case, shouldn't they avoid eating steaks?

  even a well- done steak still contains the animals blood.

  I wonder what the witlesses will do if they come across meat glue. Look it up on youtube under Meat Glue Secret Youtube and could someone put it on here please and thankyou. It's suppose to keep small pieces of meat together to look like a whole steak or roast. Get more dollars for those cuts than if those small left over pieces were made into sausages. It's made out of pig and cow blood. When using it, you have to wear a mask or the glue if inhaled can get into your lungs. Never knew this stuff existed but it's out there.

  ELDER LIES AND GET'S PRAISED FOR IT! FALSE ACCUSATIONS AGAINST ME!

  by BucketShopBill in

  Lying is the most detestable thing out of the seven god hates. Did you tell them that? None of this suprises us. We were slandered, lied about and kicked out because we made these idiot lame brain cleaners who still live off their parents at the ages of thirty and forty look like asses to the bethel. But bethel was no different .

  In front of all those idiots you should have asked them if they heard or saw you spiritually associating with the df'd family or critizising the disfellowshipping arrangement with them. That's in chapter 10 of their elders handjob book. According to these two rules you can still talk to a df'd person as long as you are not spiritually associating with them or critizising their disfellowshipping rule. And really play it up and start whimpering as you say it. Play real stupid. Would have loved to seen those idiots catch what you had just said. They probably don't even read what's in their book due to how they act. What do you expect? They don't even read their bible or their watchtower.

  Look at it as though they just got their reward in full and get the hell out of this cult!(If you can)

  CONVENTION "WARFARE"

  by The Searcher in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  on saturday evening i prepared three little truthful statements regarding the "new scrolls", and printed out several copies;.

  1) the word 'new' does not appear in revelation 20:12.

  2) the scrolls are not "new teachings", they are a basis of judgement for those resurrected.. 3) the scrolls are opened after satan is destroyed - not during christ's 1000 year reign!.
