why jehova witness hate us so much?????

[THurse]

Thank you Brother Cajun. Brothers, I've had a positive response from a cousin, who is a JW. I feel good.

 

[CajunTinMan]

Glad to hear that.

 

[widows son]

That's great THurse

 

[THurse]

Thank you Brothers. This is hard to tell without telling, but slowly but surely my words will be able to communicate correctly.

 

[widows son]

Rock on brother.

 

[jwhoff]

I, for one, have full faith in your response brother.

God speed.

 

[jwhoff]

Dang it, Hoff- you just cost me another keyboard! :lol:

Wild Bill ... you really must get control of yourself.

You know it's never a good idea to drink and surf!

:001_rolleyes:

So ........... if I were to stick a big plaque of the Square and Compasses outside when I answer the door.

Are you saying we could cut through the small talk and get straight to the goodbyes?

I have just discovered more wages of a master mason.

:sneaky2:

Probably not. They'd just feel more motivated to save you.

 

[widows son]

I love some of their tactics. They usually will ask if I'm having trouble sleep due to back problems. I say no. They say "well check this pamphlet out, just in case" I say "ok" then I proceed to open the pamphlet and low and behold, there it is, sandwiched in between the other pamphlet. " Are you aware that the rapture is eminent?" Why trick someone into that?

:12:


Right ... maybe I should have been more firm.

Agreed. That's surely a roundabout way to offer a brother hope to get over a nagging back pain.

... just sayin'.

They came to Granny's house one time and offered her a nickel for a pint of homemade raspberry jam. Now, before this, Granny would have kindly given anybody a jar of jam,but Grandpa got so insulted when they just offered a nickel that he ran them off. They didn't come back either.

 

[jwhoff]

I'd be willing to pay whatever Grandpa wanted for that jar of raspberry jam if it works that well!

You got any more around the house?

I have Family, who're are JW. I wonder what their response would be if they knew, that I'am a Mason?

I am in the same boat....I have family that are JW and my wife likes to do bible studies on Sundays as well. I don't say anything because it would be awkward and I don't feel like getting into an unresolvable debate (I am a Mason and nothing can change that), but I do allow them into my home, participate in the bible readings, give my opinions where I feel I should, and I even go their annual memorial out of respect for my family and friends who are JW. I have to say that they really do mean well, and I while I do not agree with a lot of their ways or beleifs, they are not bad people and not everything they say is b.s...some of them are pushy, some are not...they are individuals just like us. It bothers me when I hear people bashing someone for what they believe, categorizing an entire group of people due to the actions of a small subset of those people. It really bothers me to hear hypocrites that would preach religious freedom and ask for others to respect their beliefs and then join the crowd when it comes to making fun of and bashing JWs. Just my two cents on the topic. Travel light my Brothers.

Good tap

My problem is the trickery. If you want to try and get me to convert to your faith, and i say I'm not interested don't hide your info in a another pamphlet. To me that shows weakness.

 

[crono782]

The worst is the tract that is disguised as a $10 or $20 bill to be left for a restaurant server. That's just cold blooded. That one isn't credited to any particular faith though I don't think.

 

[jwhoff]

Credit where credit is due.

You must admit, it's somewhat more humane than an Inquisition.

Or simply shooting or chopping off the heads of non-believers.

... and an extreme case of "alligator arms?"

Reach not for the tab.
Go ye unto the powder room
as an option.
