It always amazes me the number of Double Glazing salesmen that call...

DG salesmen are yesterdays men. Nowadays it is the uPVC facia, soffits, etc. for the roof. They must have double glazed everything by now.

They dont believe in the divinity of Christ and if you look at their Bible it has bits edited out.

And presumably extra bits put in about thickness of glass, and how to get a good seal?

Sorry, we are talking about double-glazing salesmen, aren't we?

"No religious callers except God himself"

Now that IS a good one.

Just out of interest..... nosey and all...... moonwitch, what made you change your mind about being a jehova witness?

It was basically down to their attitude towards former members.

Lots of things really.

One of the things that bothered me was their attitude towards people with learning disabilities - I was told that it wasnt a big deal that Annie has autism and a severe learning disability - that she would be 'normal' in the new system where everyone would be perfect.

BTW - they used the word 'normal'

My daughter is the way she is - she wouldnt be Annie without the learning disability

I am assuming you have never been to a Kingdom Hall library.

There is one at the back of every Kingdom Hall.

It includes many versions of the bible and we were free to use any of them - not just the one we used at meetings.

what are you now then apart from an apostate



sounds like the visions of this person

I'm not an apostate - only according to Jehovah's Witnesses.

That's because after I left of my own accord, the elders lied to the congregation and told them I had been disfellowshipped.

This is what happens when you leave and don't turn up at the meeting where they announce this.

I didnt go to the meeting because I was no longer a Jehovah's Witness

Few things annoy me more than the arrogance of the self-righteous.....

I totally agree. I have a cousin that was a JW who was a divorcee and because she decided to marry again to someone outside their group one of her own sons felt it wouldn't be right to come to her wedding! I think this is dreadful and very hurtful. I respect others feel the need to belong to a faith but I'm glad not to take part in any man made religion. I think it just leads to all sorts of conflicts.
