  I just figured out why our forum site is having so many technical issues!

  as we all know, our forum is experiencing some rather frustrating technical issues over the last week or so....( we know that simon the founder has matters in hand and is trying to sort it all out.).

  but here is the real reason why problems are occuring:.

  jehovahs holy spirit is obviously blocking its functioning!.

  Don't even PUT that idea in their heads! They will accept it as fact and proof of their superior friendship with their god.

  CONVENTION "WARFARE"

  by The Searcher in

  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!.

  This may be off-topic...but all I could think of was some guys at work discussing what they did over the weekend, and some poor fool proudly announcing that he was The Toilet Attendant. Couldn't help but laugh, sorry!

  i sent my dad the fred franz talk "my story" when he somewhat candidly discusses the failed prophecies, 1925 etc.

  i was hoping it would plant a seed of doubt in his heart.

  however my parents eat sleep and breathe wt.

  So sad indeed. Maybe you should just let them live out their years....it's doubtful they could cope with reality if they are dyed-in-the-wool longtimers.

  You can't play lotto, but you can accept a lottery ticket.

  by JH in

  .

  can someone explain to me why a witness can't go and buy a lottery ticket for himself, but can keep a ticket they find on the ground or keep a ticket they receive as a gift from a worldly person.. that's the explaination the witnesses gave me when i joined many years ago.. if it's a sin to play lotto, why can they accept a ticket as a gift or keep one they could find?.

  Rattigan, as one of the earlier posters said...they've twisted scripture (shocking, I know) about the god of good luck to keep jdubs in line and to keep the giant wts coffers filled to the brim. The entire "no gambling" thing is to keep the money flowing in their direction.

  Can anyone imagine a jdub winning the lottery and actually not leaving the bOrg?

  DO JW's do a FAIR job of SAVING people--or--is the premise ridiculous?

  by Terry in

  figures don't lie...but liars figure!.

  the message for those babies who are now in their 30's and 40's is that "we warned your parents about a date that meant nothing!".

  how does that wash credibility-wise?.

  Doc, perhaps no one is answering because they're tired of arguing with you....as that's what you seem to be interested in doing.

  Most folks come here for discussions, not arguments. And support. Which means being positive.

  By trying to call out various posters, your actions imitate those of a bully wanting to pick a fight. If that's what you are about, you will learn that you're not the first poster who's attempted to do this and you surely won't be the last. But don't expect people here to want your association unless you actually have something valuable to add to the conversations.

  Keep in mind...if the jw "religion" is actually joined with the creator of the entire universe as the mouthpiece, they don't require your defense. If you believe that your efforts to engage others in name-calling like kids on a schoolyard is either condoned or needed by the creator of the universe, I think you are sadly mistaken.

  And feel free to say mean-spirited things about me for posting this, as it seems is your pattern. I don't base my opinion of myself on your words, so if it makes you feel better and pops some sunshine into your day, have at it.

  But I would wish better for you...that you find a positive and upbuilding activity which adds peace, rather than confrontation, to your days. I really do hope you find happiness and inner calm. So on that note, hugs to you from one human to another.

  Just now. Scrolled back to Active Topics and received the Server Not Found message. Took 6-7 attempts to regain access.

  This happened repeatedly yesterday as well.

  JW.Org And The Folks Who Vote With Their Feet

  there is great enthusiasm in many congregations in regard to the wonderful new way to sit around wasting time in the "ministry".

  so much easier than trotting from door to door.

  however, some who set up the literature/jw.org carts have noticed a disturbing phenomena:.

  Why don't Jehovah's Witnesses introduce themselves when knocking on doors?

  by Randomthoughts in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  most random people who knock on the door politely introduce themselves when you open the door.. for example "hello, i'm derick from unicef and i'm looking for donations blah blah blah".

  now annoying as it may be for some at least he had the courtesy to introduce himself.. why don't jw's do this?

  is it because they are embarressed or perhaps they know you won't take their literature if they do?.

  They might say it's about not bringing attention to the individual. But the real reason is they know people will shut their doors when hearing those dreaded words: Jehovah's Witnesses. Wouldn't you?

  Burying further mention of "Jehovah's Witnesses"

  Let alone never having "Christian" on the sign

  Absolutely right. They are distancing themselves from religion while maintaining their tax-exempt "religious org" status. Marketing geniuses, albeit evil ones.
