Yes it was when Covid started and the letter writing . Jws would write scriptures and jw.org so people would visit the site . “Counting time painting rocks “


PermaFader

Eeeew really? So it was a thing. I'd change it to say jwfacts.com and put it back where I found it lol


[deleted]

What is the facts website


Ziggzaag

[Check it out](http://jwfacts.com/)


exjwlemming

Didn't the JWs say that if they didn't accomplish the preaching work that J would make the rocks cry out? Wow! they sure were right!


lancegalahadx

Another Bible prophecy fulfilled! These are “exciting times”!!! 🤣🤣🤣


Antique_Branch8180

Yes, wow! This must be it!/s


[deleted]

Haha, I was hoping someone would say this 😂


thePOMOwithFOMO

Luke 19:40


returntoB612

as a kid i always thought this would be a great experiment like what if we all just stopped preaching for a bit.. we could see if the rocks cry out, and if they did i bet people would be a lot more convinced


TrueDove

If you think about it, for the majority of human history, there hasn't been a "true" preaching work. And yet the rocks never did shit.


Manananadododododu

Rocks are lazy assholes. Just saying.


Environmental_Ad8753

🤣🤣🤣


SlayingtheJabberwock

Made me laugh. Needed that.


fader_underground

Oh lord, don't get me started. This is their weak idea of "ministry" now. All I want to know is where was rock painting when I was wracking my brain making sure I had a rebuttal for every possible response, spending endless hours practicing my presentations, and ultimately feeling like I was going to vomit walking up to people's doors to talk to them face to face? And all that time I could've been doing arts and crafts and calling it preaching?!?


ChinUpDisciple

People have learned to reason a bit more these days, so the borg is stepping away from even attempting anything factual.


Sinfluencer69

….Am feeling an itch in my palm as it considers lobbing one of those little indoctrination offerings through a KH window. Instead I think I’d add lettering. Like: “I was forced to write this! Help! Im being held hostage! So brainwashed Im scrawling cult propaganda onto geological formations!


NoseDesperate6952

So, you’re the reason they don’t have windows! jk


redheadedhealer

😂 I feel you!


CallsignViperrr

Normal people upon finding these: *"Religious nutters!!!!!"*


HazyOutline

If they even knew what it meant. Likely invisible to normal people.


EyesRoaming

During Covid but pre-letter writing they were scattered around the woods near me when I took my dog out. I think it's some whizz bang idea from a pioneer who is taking Luke 19 WAY TOO seriously...... "If these ones remained silent, the very stones would cry out." 🙄🙄🙄 Jesus wept!😳


Gagitha_Frisky

I just can't believe some poor kid's parent got them to do that like it was a meaningful expression. Just let your kids draw pictures of unicrons and shit! Not this trashy pebble vandalism bullshit. I'll never stop feeling sorry for JW kids. I was one myself and it *suuuuuuccccckkkked*.


concernedpublisher

Hours aren't going to count themselves.


GuveningBodyLanguage

FFS. Taking something good from the world and making it JW toxic.


Gr8lyDecEved

And trying to reason with a uber-pimi JW is about the same as talking to that rock


sparking_lab

Toss 'em in the river or deep in the forest for archaeologists 1,000s of years from now to find and puzzle about.


DarthFury1990

I think I heard some areas doing that when COVID first started

What even is a haiku? I see this occasionally and I'm curious and want to be able to appreciate it.


Zbrchk

A form of poetry with five syllables in the first line, seven in the second, and five again in the final


YoungEgalitarianDude

Oh thank you. Although I'm only able to count five in the second.


Zbrchk

The word “areas” has three


loadthespaceship

If it keeps them away from door stoops and the org off their backs, do it up.


larchington

At least 2019 when I left the org.


Psychological-Gur783

Poor rock.


NoseDesperate6952

Some people shouldn’t keep rocks as pets.


SlayingtheJabberwock

I'm joining PETR.


NoseDesperate6952

Me too


RudeChoire

Cringe


PermaFader

Writing sigils on rocks and dropping them random places, doesn't sound like witchcraft at all. 😈 lolol id totally bring this up if a dub shared plans of dropping lots of these. Hoping it's not a thing though and just a one off. Gross. Who wants stub their toe on that?


NoseDesperate6952

That’s the first thing I thought, too! Hmm…they drew a sigil


NoseDesperate6952

Let the drop a lot of them, then tell them about sigils and witchcraft 😈


CDRChakotay

During COVID when DD stopped, they would throw these through windows.


MuttleyTheCannonball

Joke's on them. A little birdy told me god will destroy those who destroy gods creations like that. Vandalizing pebbles smh.


[deleted]

Is this for real? Painting rocks to promote jw.borg? Man, what a stupid way to waste time!! 🤣


Elecyah

There's been stones like that found at least during the pandemic. Art and crafts witnessing is a thing. 🤦‍♀️


dmbraley

Looks like some jw spent too much time on Etsy and thought this would be a cute way to preach. How many placements does a rock count as?


NoseDesperate6952

Sprayed tea on my phone 😂🤣


_cautionary_tale_

JW: we will come after you if you use our stuff to expose our evils even if it’s totally appropriate and legal. Also JW: yeah we don’t give a shit about pioneers using our logo on their Etsy painted rocks.


JWN_under_the_radar

Are those the rocks that are supposed to cry out? Alternatively, "dumb as a rock" comes to mind...


Zembassi8

Just A Crazy Thought: *CHIA JW LOGOS*\--not to give this cultporation any ideas. [https://www.chia.com/](https://www.chia.com/) ![gif](giphy|N43z2n4gUrpD2) 🤣🤣😏😈


FourintheWall

But they better be well groomed and no facial hair!


Zembassi8

🤣🤣🤣👌🏽👏🏽


Sinfluencer69

Id find 3 more rocks and paint pro Scientology, Mormonism and MAGA propaganda across em. A lovely little rock garden of evil😇


ns_p

Next they throw it through someone's window. The "Hailstone Message" has begun! And the persecution against God's chosen people is off the charts! Undeniable proof that they are the one true religion! (Or that people get really pissed off when you throw rocks through their windows)


Mormonh8r123

Exmo cousin here. That's nuts! Writing on rocks to spread the indoctrination. That's just as bad as how Mormon Missionaries were being called to the *location* Facebook Mission...and still compelling young 18 year olds to pay something like $10K to scroll Social media


PalateroMan8

Cute little idols.


Beammeupscotty1914

Maybe the borg is bringing back stoning...


Environmental_Ad8753

😂😂😂


mizgriz

only painted rocks in my area advertise weed.


Desperate_Habit_5649

Subliminal Messaging... ***JW Preaching Rocks!*** ![gif](giphy|123nrTcg9bHnPi|downsized)


Dazzling-Mushroom-37

That's actually the stone that slew Goliath. It was confirmed by "a recognized authority" in this field. They are currently looking for verses to back up this new light.


Environmental_Ad8753

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I read all the comments when I need a laugh


ohhheynat

They defiled that rock 🪨 😠


chimpsy23

Return to sender put it through the kingdom hall widow


i-cant-talk-rn

I can imagine someone so burned out of this religion who has just come service. They sit by the side of the road and start truly contemplating their purpose and existence. Lost in their own thoughts, this person finds a rock and starts writing out what has truly pained them at the moment. This person wants a good life. They start aching for the promise of paradise; begging god to give them answer to validate that what they’re doing is worth it all. The written text on the rock was a cry for help.


FourintheWall

Some homeschooling JW Mom made this her curriculum for the day. Writing, art and earth science all in one!


Mundane-Tadpole5080

This is something my pimi family would so do, they would count time for it too..


i-forgot-my-usern4me

Perfect to use at their windows <3


NoseDesperate6952

That’s why they don’t have any.


i-forgot-my-usern4me

Wait, what?!


NoseDesperate6952

Windows on Kingdom Hall buildings. There aren’t any


i-forgot-my-usern4me

Well that makes them way creepier than I expected. But I'm guessing the church leaders houses might be a good fit then


NoseDesperate6952

It’s because of vandalism. I like the creepy factor though


i-forgot-my-usern4me

Well, at least it warms my heart that more people vandalize their churches


MamaShayShay92

That’s vandalism


Sh110803

Brings new meaning to saying “kick rocks” 😂😂😂


[deleted]

Wtf 😳 I’ve never see these in my country.


Wingsfly25

??? 🙈🙈 you have hot to be Joking!


Yes-Cheesecake

Throw it in a lake


Gagitha_Frisky

It was actually found on my walk down to the lake! I threw it on to a train track.


Void_ka_

Throw it back at their windows!


[deleted]

That’s not idolatry! 🤔


exjwbigdog

Jehovah obviously didn’t make them correctly and is using cult members to add some final touches.


Tsuanna80

When the dissonance of servitude made some j-dub as desperate as the alcoholic crackhead down the street from me.


Jacey01

Wtf?
