Window cleaning and jehovah's witness.

My religion is pretty simple really.

Don't be an arsehole.

Simples.

I was 24 in 97 and had already left the army(was reme based in mill hill)Was in the reserves then (b squadron 1st battalion London regiment) but never managed to see any action anywhere

To tell the truth i am glad i am not there now as being posted to bastion and dealing with all that doesn't appeal to me

I just cracked on with the job in hand, but as each tour passed and redundancies made I often thought we should be back home fighting politicians instead.

 

[Diwrnach]

Most people do not see their beliefs.

Instead, their beliefs tell them what to see.

This is the simple difference between clarity and confusion.

Marx said religion is the opiate of the masses.
 
Whatever gets you through the day, I guess.

i think it may be the jewish race that dont do money on fri/sat as we worked a large jewish area and did have problems..

[Diwrnach]

How about a bit of Twain,

Religion was invented when the first conman met the first fool.

 

[Diwrnach]

Behold, the power of religion!!!

If people don't want their beliefs ridiculed they shouldn't have such ridiculous beliefs /emoticons/smile.png

There's quite a few JW's on here, 8 at least that I know of (myself included) - but we're all staying quiet because its really hard to defend your beliefs online like this - especially when the majority of comments on this thread so far come across as a little hostile,.. so I'm not going to get into any arguments - I'll just say that "I believe, Its my right to believe whatever I want, and that's it basically!"
BUT - there's a few things that have been said that are completely untrue, so here are some facts:

We have no restrictions on working Saturdays or paying our bills on Saturdays,.. the geezer prob thought he'd come up with a great excuse to keep his 2.50 in his pocket, but I doubt very much he was a JW.

Music is in no way banned, I listen to the radio, watch MTV etc. That's just nonsense.

TV is allowed - I watch far more of it than I should, many programs, many channels. The choice is mine. We even have our own TV channel at www.tv.jw.org,.. its a bit American if I'm honest - but anyone saying we're not allowed to have a TV in the house is misinformed.

I also read books - lots of books. Mostly fiction, sci-fi, thriller, crime novels - many written by people of other religions, mostly I have no idea of the authors beliefs. Its my choice & I'm allowed to make up my own mind!

Church is twice a week, usually an hour and a half on a weekday night and an hour and three quarters on a Sunday - hardly a big time commitment.

Liver & bacon are 2 foods I enjoy and are not restricted - black pudding is something we don't eat because of the blood content.

Swearing is not allowed, that much is true - but, without intending any offence, I'd personally consider my choice of language more to do with a good upbringing rather than a religious choice!

Many JW's find window cleaning is a great business because it allows them the flexibility to spend more time in the preaching work and still provide properly for their families - its as simple as that.

As to why we knock on doors and why we take a stand on blood issues etc that have been mentioned - if I try to answer here I don't think I'd be able to get the point across as well as I should, and it'd probably end up doing more harm than good. Its all explained on www.jw.org for anyone who is genuinely interested.

Well said brother. there is little point in talking to much about the truth as there is allot of ridicule on here. By the way did i hear you design websites???

 

[Jake]

Wow your angry about religion! Just thought I'd let you know in case Alex g suddenly stopped sending you orders

 

[Dave B]

Well said brother. there is little point in talking to much about the truth as there is allot of ridicule on here. By the way did i hear you design websites???

I thought we were all brothers

Yes there is ridicule in the sense we have banter between ourselves and have a laugh as is our perogative but i don't bash any religions..besides the fact i am 100% atheist that is my view

I don't expect that criticised and don't criticise others beliefs no matter what i think about them

 

[Jake]

I still

Think it's interesting that nearly all the major players in window cleansing are jw's, Alex Gardiner, Stephen fox (window cleaning warehouse) , cleaning spot etc...

You wonder why they don't all get along when there all JW's :rofl:

You got Gardiner suing wcw over the neon pole yet there all 'brothers'?

Not angry about religion, its just stupid, you really would think adults would of given up imaginary friends when they were kids.

 

[Diwrnach]

A good man will do good things, a bad man will do bad things, but it takes religion for a good man to do bad things.

 

[SolarPanelCleaning]

Well, that and politics. A lot of things are done in the name of religion but have little to do with it. It's a political tool.

Tell that to the gays in Africa getting kicked, shot, stabbed, burnt etc to death.
