  When a Pioneer is really tired and and can't carry on, they start up an Auxiliary, waiting back at the car :0)

  Funeral plan ?

  by Chook in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  to all you young and old alike what would you have as a farewell party from this earth , would you party with friends months before or would you go out quietly and rather have input into the wake.

  i have heard of these duck hunters who put their ashes in shotgun shells.

  Well they robbed me of (the false hope of) everlasting life™ I don't feel the need to hasten the process, so as to the funeral question, being now alone in the world, there's a funeral home here on a river that flows to the ocean, a good place for my ashes, or in a receptacle within, doesn't really matter much because, you see, I'll be dead :)

  I wasn't on the ladder at all,

  I was assigned to holding it in place for others,

  Smooth glass electric = minimal control

  Gas = maximum control

  Now they're using animation to emotionally manipulate babies and toddlers, "do you want to make Jehovah sad?" "If you door knock/give money you will make Jehovah happy!" Wow! what power we possess! (sarcasm) I was one of these kids 60 years ago and now it's worse, btw LIKE this comment and make Jehovah's heart glad!! :) J seems rather emotionally unstable to me but I guess that's just me lol

  Biblical JW Theism starts with the 4 Cardinal Qualities,

  You might be more interested in Pantheism (Spinoza)

  and an non Aristotelian god

  Some of us liken this relationship to a child who has an imaginary playmate

  Uninvited...again...

  by Anders Andersen in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so a week or so ago we received an invitation for a jw friend's wedding anniversary party in the mail.it was addressed to 'the andersen family' (and not just mrs. andersen & baby andersen) which was pleasant of course, but not a huge surprise given the type of person who said friend is.. however, i already prepared myself to be uninvited after all.

  some time ago, there was a congregation farewell party/get-together.to my surprise, i was invited too!

  an elder specifically came over to my house to tell me.then some weeks later, he visited again, being terribly sorry but the invitation was revoked as the congregation got concerned over my possible presence.. with that debacle in mind, i wasn't surprised to receive a message from my friend 'hey are you at home?

  I will adjust my life accordingly,

  Did you ever have a discussion with an apostate that helped your journey out.

  by jwfacts in

  2. beliefs

  there seems to be a number of different ways that apostates try to get jehovah's witnesses realise they do not have the truth, ranging from subtle comments to aggressive attacks.

  do you have any that looking back helped you finally leave.

  some of the methods include:.

  I have to add Louise' (Katie Kitten's) "Stand Up For Jehovah" Youtube series for providing some much needed intelligent humor when it was most needed,

  As was brought out, in contrast angry ranting just plays into the Watch Tower's character​izations,
