  I certainly can resonate with a lot of what he said. I remember knocking on doors hopeing they wouldn't be home. I hated witnessing, and the only reason I done it was because of social pressure and not wanting to be looked down upon. I to now feel foolish that i was trying to convince the unsuspecting public about a religion that had so crap about it on the internet.

  I personally know of 1. But to be honest it was a small town, and people were leaving it and moving to the city. Really a place that had nothing going for it. I remember back in the hay day however and the hall was first built there were over 100 pubs in it.

  an odd letter was read at last nights' meeting.

  it was in regards to a special campaign for next year arranged by the governing body to go and preach in israel.

  the call is going out to anybody that speaks hebrew and english.

  Female presenter on JW Video

  by Listener in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  there is a video on jw org titled "what happens at a kingdom hall?

  " i wouldn't suggest that you watch it as it's pretty sickly, as usual they are praying on emotions in order to encourage people to attend their halls.. the video is presented by a female but does show her face.

  it just seems weird that they have allowed a woman to star in this very prominant role.

  The rat bags. They are moving away from the preaching work and wanting people to volunteer as free labour. This is a big shift of focus.

  FuGK This Religion- Stop Ruining My Life!!!

  by wallievase in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am sorry for the title but today just took the cake.

  after not going to the meetings since august and trying to sort through this with my family, my wife today told me she wants to separate because of our differences over being a witness or not.. this is ridiculous.

  so i said- how can you separate from me when the religion you whole heartedly believe says you can only separate for 3 reasons- abuse, willful non-support, or stopping her from her meeting attendance, etc.

  I'm a firm believer in this. The best way of dealing with dubbies is to say ABSOLUTLY NOTHING!!!!
