District conventions are "church holidays" in Germany ...
by processor inaccording to their overworked website, jehovahs witnesses in germany now have religious holidays (church holidays), such as the district conventions or the holy act of baptism:.
http://www.jehovaszeugende.d235.de/geschichte-und-gegenwart.4.0.html.
so, we should remember that holidays that tend to exalt ... a human organization are not in harmony with gods will, and true christians will not share in them.

Another Apr 15 2012 jewel
by d0rkyd00d ini have come back from a 10 year haitus with a renewed vigor, but i'm too short on time now to explain.
when i first posted here, i was a sophomore in high school....it's hilarious to look back at my 2002 posts and see how much i've changed and grown!
anywho, let me dig right in, from page 30..... "one way we can benefit from jehovahs loving direction is through personal study.

The Watchtowers mission statement....changed ??when??
by mauiboy inseems to me that years ago the wt's mission statement inside the front cover of the magazine mentioned that when donations cease, it would be recognized that it was time to cease publication of the magazine.
does anyone else remember this...or am i losing it?
the satement now has nothing even suggesting such a sentiment, and i was wondering how others re-call it?

it dealt with the need for childrens protection from pedophiles.

watchtower feeding time
by ssn587 inhad a thought, yeah i know they come every now and then, of how it is that the wt really feeds the sheep, they are all captive in a pen and the gb is shoveling manure to feed them and they are eating it up only to get indigestion, and yet they want more of it, seems to me that after eating a lifetime of bs from the gb one would wtfu.
but no for some it will never happen as they have become acclimated to eating the bs that is feed them.
for those that have waken up and jumped the fence so to speak, they find that the grass is truly greener on the other side of the fence, and we have hope that those sitting atop the fence will see that..

this had a big effect on my interaction with opp sex in the org.
whenever i got close to someone i would consider the inevitable time that i would have to face my concerns.
