A CALL TO ACTION: HIGH PRIORITY
by Wingman inhi everyone,.
a letter has been prepared by anonymous brothers to be sent to bodies of elders around the world.. of course this is a massive undertaking and we are asking for assistance from active and inactive ones around the world who share the sentiments of the letters contents.. your participation in this action indicates your sincere desire to see change within the organization that has become authoritarian in recent years.. we ask that the letter be addressed to "the body of elders" in each respective congregation.. please do not add any further information or commentary.. we are also relying on non-english speaking brothers to translate and distribute this letter.. it will not matter if more than one letter is received by each congregation.

I have a question
by Jeannie33 ini am a nondenominational christian and i was wondering how jehovah's witnesses view god regarding his providence.
do they believe that he is in control of the ongoings of earth and with our life at all times or sometimes or not at all?
do they feel god knows the number of our days and takes us when it is time to go?

Life is sweet
by RollerDave ingot my truck back.. it was best-case, in the neighborhood of $2000, rather than the worst-case of $3000 or catastrophic-case $6000.. head gaskets.. bad, i know, but it could have been cracked heads, or worse.. i paid my peasly little two grand and that aposta-truck roared to life!
it's gleaming smugly outside my garage right now.. life is sweet, i got my truck back.. helped my daughter build a 'model' for her piano technician classes, a board with hitch pins on one end, and tuning pins on the other, a bridge in between (with bridge pins) and a string.. basically a model of a set of three piano strings for one note in a simulation of the stuff that mounts it in a real piano.. i love woodworking, and i love making things.
i love making things well.

grateful to my Elders..No talks, no FS time, no privledges....no problem!
by oompa inso one year of lots of questions and showing doubts, and missing quite a few meetings but still going out in service, doing mics, reading, hall projects...then i get the new light from society regarding the letter i sent them (wow, stunned me, blew me away) and i let them know how i felt about it and i quit the ministry after 40 active years.
nobody says anything about this, no counsel, no will you go out with us on saturday.
not a single "were is your time for the month" phone call.

Cloth Diapers
by reneeisorym inso .. my husband and i are going to start trying for kids next year.
we had a long discussion last night about disposable diapers vs. cloth diapers.
i know this decision can wait but i just like talking about my expectations early rather than end up with conflict later on.. i want to use cloth diapers and he thinks disposables are the way to go.
