Has anyone ever experienced a miracle?
by new light indoes anyone have a true story that unquestionably proves god's existence?
bible stories or amazing coincidences do not count as a viable response, sorry to say.
i'm asking as a person who, although good-hearted and "moral", has lost all faith in an outside god of any kind.

Need advice for back pain
by new light indoes anyone have some real-world advice for lower back pain / sciatica?
i've had it for years and it doesn't get any better or worse overall, but i'd like to lessen or eliminate it?
would a really good mattress make a difference?

Scrub-A-Dub-Dub
by new light inremember all the cleaning we would be "asked" to do?
pre-convention, mid-convention, post-convention, kingdumb hall, field service car, assembly hall, the list seems endless.
what better way to cap off a day of mind-numbing sermons and interviews than by mopping a filthy arena in your best suit?

Ever-changing Doctrine=More Book Sales
by new light inthe wtbts is never going to settle on anything final.
because then no one would buy their literature.
every witness and by-stander buys every single piece of trash these guys publish because no one wants to be left behind.

Why JW's Stand Out
by new light init just hit hit me why so many jw's stand out!
it's because so many work menial jobs!
you put a jw in an office setting where everyone has to be well-groomed and he/she will blend right in (mostly).

Inactive and Immune
by new light indid you know that page 99 of "pay attention...." (the elders' manual) states that a person who has not associated for a while is basically exempt from discipline?
essentially if you attend a judicial hearing or respond to the elders you are admitting accountability to the "christian congregation.
" therefore, if you walk away from the congregation and simply ignore the elders for long enough and exert no influence on the members, they don't have to pursue you, even if they hear of serious sin.

LEAST FAVORITE MEETING
by new light init's so hard to choose, but i would have to say the theocratic ministry school was my most hated meeting.
the first few talks were a rephrasing of mind-numbing society doctrine.
then it was time to listen to a ten-year old read nwt to us........... #3 talks, don't even get me started!
