No, I'm not one of them, I'm not in that age bracket... but lots of my friends have parents who are in their 70's who followed the society's advice, and are now struggling to keep up with the high cost of living....it's really sad....I think the Society has done them a great disservice.

I have been here long enough to know that kwin doesnt DESERVE to have a book study at his house.
Defd,
Ooooooh how judgemental was THAT????
Not to mention, that YOUR org's elders, the ones (supposedly) chosen by the holy spirit that "appoints" these men............are the ones that didn't know what the hell they were doing, any more than any other JW elders on the face of the earth who make all these decisions that affect you!
Doesn't Kwin's experience bring something about this whole WTS charade down to a level that you can understand???
When ARE you going to get your head out of that litterbox and SEE that the entire WTS is a fraud!

Its interesting that what many here regret not doing, defd IS doing and they throw it in his face. So the guy is a company man but covers his ass. Not unsmart I'd say. I dont think he really believes half of what he says. He likes to stir it up. What the heck, that's what goes on here, right?
Since he knows Armagaggin aint coming anytime too soon he's just thinkin ahead. For those who are bright they find themselves miles ahead of the rank and file. In the real world they are just average. Better to be above average in the Truth than to be one of the dying millions.

Defd is no different from most that I see in any religion. You have the hardcore followers and those that are a little less strict and so on out to the fringes. The biggest difference is most don't belong to an end of the world cult that tears up families, kills people with refusing blood transfusions, and meddles in peoples lives with often horrific results. In the other religions virtue is its own reward for the hardcore, there are no witchhunts and star chamber procedings which is as it should be.

Jesus said where there are two or three gathered in my name I will be in their midst, it makes sense that a spirit being doesnt need to have approval from man (an elder) or a group of men (governing body) to be where he wants to. Since when have we decided that angels and spirits have to meet on our terms, oh I forgot, how rude of me, for Jehovah's people are a humble people . As a canadian apostate would say, take off! eh?- Preston

Well its Tuesday here... I work full time but I work in a stimulating envrionment so that's cool.
Last night I cooked dinner for my boyfriend while he worked on his assignment for his 'Introduction to the New Testament' course. It's really interesting. I had a look at how its set out and wouldn't mind having a crack at it myself just to look at the bible, and the bible alone, in a new manner.
Tonight just going to relax with a yummy dinner and a bottle of shiraz.
Wednesday see Tuesday.
Thursday night me and bf lead a small bible youth group for 15-17 year olds.
Friday night having some friends around.
Saturday cleaning house and that night going to a friends birthday dinner and then to a latin fiesta!
Sunday off to church, relaxing and then to youth church in the evening...

Yes he is. He wants to eventually be a youth pastor. He has to study part time so it will take about 7 years. But we both agree it will be 7 years definately worth it.
Its an excellent course. He's been telling me about it as it goes and I've really learnt heaps!
