My mother was a j-dub when she was diagnosed with serious kidney problems in 1975,but low and behold,she couldn't have a transplant because organ transplants were considerd cannabilism by the society,so she died in 1977 at the age of 32.The society then reversed its stance in 1980 and said its now okay to have an organ transplant.Get your facts straight before you come to their defense.

]]> <![CDATA[Lies Well Disguised: The Watchtower Pamphlet]]> The Comment "Get out of Her, My People" is actually derived from scripture.
Revelation 18:4 specifically.

I read the pamphlet, and I found that everything that they said was backed up by biblical scripture. They at least got that right, even if you don't believe in their prophecy time-line.

So what if they go door to door anyway.
If you don't like it, ask them simply not to come back, and they won't.
Don't make a big deal out of it, geez!

They and the Mormons are the only ones that actually "go forth and make disciples" anyways.

You can't say that they're doing it for the money, because they only ask for a donation if you take something like a book anyways.

Oh, and they don't believe in strict tithing either.

Talk smack about Jehovah's Witnesses all you like, but at least they care enough to take bible scripture seriously and don't make it up as they go along, or change it to meet their needs.

Oh, and they actually care enough to go deliver a message to people who don't care a lick about them and only slam doors in their faces.

But they still go.

]]> <![CDATA[Lies Well Disguised: The Watchtower Pamphlet]]> We here in the world of windbaggery, when finding fault with someone or something, generally back up the criticism with evidence, or analysis or argument. Anything else is just name calling. Or, as Pete Dexter put it so eloquently, "If you call somebody a no-good, thieving pig fucker, you'd better be able to produce the pig."

]]> <![CDATA[Lies Well Disguised: The Watchtower Pamphlet]]> Best practical joke I've heard in a long time....
A friend had a long standing grudge with some guys she had known (said grudge was generally in good fun), and contacted the JWs to alert them that their "brother" had "lost his way." She told them that really the only time he was ever at home (and not totally stoned or banging the neighbors) was at about 6 am on Saturday, and to knock until he answered and bring him back to Jehova.

Then she took him out for a night of solid drinking. They came knocking just as his hangover was beginning to set in. Took him hours to get rid of them.

]]> <![CDATA[Lies Well Disguised: The Watchtower Pamphlet]]> WHY DOOR TO DOOR?


The reason the watchtower corporation orders their Jehovah's witnesses members to intrude door to door is because in the beginning their leader Joseph Rutherford (who himself never went door to door) knew that this cold-calling tactic would get them recognition and "persecution" as pesky.
If they can get "persecuted" by picking fights then he can say they are 'persecuted for Jesus'.

Shit, they could have done a wholesale ripoff of "Sign 'O' the Times" and ended up with a better product.

]]> <![CDATA[Lies Well Disguised: The Watchtower Pamphlet]]> The "eden" depictions on the covers are the craziest. It seems that Watchtower readers want to live in some sort of multicultural glamor-shot where lions let you pet them and everyone wears pressed polo shirts. No thanks.

Posts like this make it hard for me to successfully waste my day reading Gawker without being discovered as a waste of payroll.

"Get out of her my people"
What? Is this some sort of gang bang reference?
