I believe in creation; a single creator?... Hmmm... Doubt it.
Creator(s) moved on carelessly to other projects while we continue to destroy ourselves and our planet.

read the news here.
the jehovah's witnesses lost their appeal to the supreme court of russia.
bethel to be liquidated.. i bet the gb saw this coming ... here comes the persecution complex paranoia.
Oh, the suffering of the rank and file... The jail sentences, the physical abuse. I am so saddened by the needless attacks that will continue to take place.
Such attacks surely will not be endured by the GB, their helpers or anyone in the upper echelons of this Org.
So very sad.

this is one of the last things you are expected to do.
in a society that creates you to go home and watch the kardashians.
in an economic system where the currency trust is wavering on a private banking system.
Too long.

for those of you who are still in because of family circumstances, what do you do about field service?
do you still go regularly, sporadically or not at all?.
if you do still go, how do you manage?
My field service is done in a way that does NOT result in any converts; very vague and generic, if anyone shows interest, never follow up.

i heard through the grapevine about a forthcoming book:.
together through the great tribulation - come to jehovah's mountain.
still awaiting solid confirmation though.
I want to think of the book of Revelations as a result of a mushroom trip John experienced when in that island. The stuff in it is quite psychedelic-trippie-like.😆

have you ever had a dog that was dumber than a box of rocks?
i have; his name was dave matthews.
we loved him anyway.
Cute!!!
Too hairy, though.

my rant tonight is against the quasi religious apologists that post on this board.
those who at once rail against the jw's then later talk about how "orderly" and "neat" the witnesses are at their conventions.
those who site the benefits of bloodless surgery to some who have the luxury and time to actually make an educated choice, while ignoring the tens of thousands who've died because they happen to be in an accident or succumb to a disease for which there is no other treatment.. i understand the power of cognitive dissonance.
It's complicated.
In my case, my mind is so well compartmentalized, that I can see good as well as bad in this same Org. In doing so, I can easily see that the good far outweighs the bad, so I intentionally accentuate the good and this brings me happiness.
It continues to be complicated.

Having expressed my distrust of non-JWs, I also do think crushing kids dreams or just plain fun by not providing extra curricular activities is AWFUL!!!

It worried me that he mentioned at the student had become his 'friend'. An adult man with a child 'friend'?
Keep it professional please. Have heard so many stories of these adults involved in settings that are exclusive to minors and the inappropriate behaviors that may follow.
Not very trusting here.

Bloodless surgery is the best method in many instances.
I read a piece in some New England medical journal some time ago; they praised JWs for their determination which led the medical professionals to research and develop ways to treat them and, in doing so, the surgical field has improved.
