Another subliminal picture in the WT!!!!

by DATA-DOG in

i just happend to wonder if the current issue had any hidden goodies.

sowhatnow

lol, this is cracking me up guys, I though I was the only one that saw weird stuff everyplace.

now i dont feel so bad when i look up in the clouds and see angelfish swords and dragons [which i actually got photos of]

and people tell me they cant see it.

i thought i saw an image in a magazine a few months ago, the one photo where the family is in the basement and the little girl is looking at the reader

there is a luggage type bag on the floor with a strange symbol on it but you go to use a magnifying glass.

youd think by now they would know were on to them

I need a good cry but I can't. Please help?

by ohnightdivine in

jw

besides being overworked and overstressed almost everyday in the past few months,.

i've had to deal with a 'broken heart', insecurities with my physical appearance (gained a lot of weight),.

and being lonely because i started distancing myself from the 'congregation', i just want to cry, sob, and bawl out here in my bedroom.

maybe you really dont have to cry, maybe you need to sit down and make a list of what you feel you need to change in order to find comfort and normalness in your life, and hey let us know. maybe we can help you out. writing is my therapy.

I read a really good book about five years ago called Deadly Emotions, by don colbert.

it might help you . it did me. i got mine used off amazon for cheap. please get it.

Id say like many of us we dont know where to go fom here, how to we reorganize our life when we are limited to our current situation.

I dont know, it almost seems like we need some sort of resort or vacation cabin to go to, to meet new freinds,

to have a chance to find a new place to start. like all those romance chick flicks where the girl or guy sells the house and moves to a small town and meets mr or mrs right, and they all live happily ever after. lol. hey anything is possible riight?

anyone own a hotel or apt complex? lol, you can start a life rehab mission. 'change one life at a time for the good of mankind'

maybe some of us who have larger homes with spare bedrooms or vacant rentals , can offer others a place to stay and relocate?

help others start over fresh.

something to think about. Id do it in a heartbeat If my husband was willing, i have a huge empty upstairs [that my husband now sleeps in all alone].

there are lots of jobs around here in nw pa where i live especally if your into medical, elder care or the gas drilling industry.

but hes a hermit and would never want a stranger in his house.

I wish i could help so many.

Jehovah's Witnesses win partial victory over gated communities. Too little too late?

jehovah's witnesses win community access case.

by jack bouboushian .

sowhatnow

but are they doing MISSIONARY ACTIVITIES??? I hightly doubt it. That should challenged

I thought a gated commumity had the right to vote on whom they wish to enter it?

so now are these people allowed to post no soliciting or religious persons on said property?

hows that gonna look, all the way down the street, little white signs saying no preaching or misionarries?

what the heck, here they will send out mail or call to get to these people in security buildings and the like.

yea, ten years still beating a dead horse

Your favourite WTS publication?

by LoveUniHateExams in

i realise that starting this thread may make me as popular as a ginger stepchild but was there any wts publication that you liked, or at least comfortably tolerated?.

my memory may be deceiving me but i think the greatest man book was pretty good, leaving out the gruesome detail of the crucifixtion and wts doctrine.. also, can anyone tell me the list of books that ray franz authored/co-authored?.

thanks.

sowhatnow

well I sat and thought about that for a bit, and i cant say that anything they print was enjoyable for me prsonally.when i was younger

I would read the awake articles about animals or something generic, but nothing else. when i was i my 40s i read everything, study everything

and gee

here I am.....

Working on Thanksgiving

by free2beme in

jw
friends

every year now, we all get story after story of the cruel practive of taking people away to work on thanksgiving.

while i was not raised to celebrate the holiday, and even after taking it on, i still see it as a dinner and at best a few friends and family members eating together.

yet for most americans, it is not really that big of a deal to work on thanksgiving.

sowhatnow

lol, pretty soon there will be no holidays off work, at least in the US the country who likes to enslave people forcing them to work untold hours overtime so they can then raise the price of food and basically take it back.

I for one, have never enjoyed the silly shopping nonsense. to me standing in line for any thing not absolutely necessary for life is a waste of my time, especially on the cold. lol black friday and other 'sales' show the real immaturity of mankind.

Ill be happy to shop on line [go amazon! ] and have it delivered to my door.

my husband has always had thanksgiving day off and he takes the friday off to make it a long weekend [not that we ever do anything]

this year he wants a turkey. i told him im not cooking it, cleaning it, and im not doing dishes, been there done that, and no more will i stand in the kitchen cooing al day and cleaning all night.

who is going to invite US for dinner, my own daughter who was never a jw, even wants to cook anymore. [though shes never invited us over for dinner]

have a good meal !! i will, im not cooking it yay!

CAN WE BE BETTER THAN THE GOD WE SERVE?

by Terry in

be careful what you say god is and what he wants; you may be saying more about yourself than you realize.. it may well be our personal taste in religion is revelatory of our basic character.. _____.

look at the devout islamist whose worship consists of blowing people up or cutting off heads.. contrast that to those hindi who sit with legs folded in their own lap contemplating bliss.. now contrast both the above to somebody who believes service to god is visiting the sick in hospitals.. _____.

instead of there being 3 different gods served--there might only be an extraordinary unveiling of each person's heart and mind!.

sowhatnow

a perfect god cannot create imperfect things.

only a god who would have to know what imperfect was to begin with, could pass that on.

therefore If we are created in Gods image, he too must have the same imperfect traits. or,

If I am more forgiving than some, then id say The Good that people do comes from God , and he in no way has done

any of those silly things spoken of in an ancient book.

who said God was perfect? hmm does the bible say it,

perfect are all of his ways? really, alll his ways?

then why are we not perfect.

Woman was created first! It's science.

by wannabefree in

woman was created first.. every human being has 46 chromosomes arranged in 23 pairs, the first twenty two are autosomes, or matching, the twenty third pair matches in the female (xx), however, the male is mismatched (xy).. notice what is missing from that second x?

yes, one of its ribs has been removed.. clearly, in a female, since all are matching pairs, it makes sense that woman was created first as the male xy combination is the mutated pair.

why would god create the mismatched dna first?

sowhatnow

is it true? why do men have one less rib??? I find that facinating.

agree.

ive already told my mother that I must be better than Jehovah because Id never do to adam and eve what he supposedly did, Id never ask someone to sacrifice thier son, and Id never expect my son to die willingly for imperfect humans.

and Id never treat people the way jws treat disfellowshipped people.

Seven Shepherds Eight Dukes

by Ish Elon in

the article entitled seven shepherds, eight dukesawhat they mean for us today in the watchtower of the 15th november 2013 contained this important warning in paragraph 16: ain the near future, jehovahas apparently vulnerable people will come under attack from the modern-day aassyrian,a whose intent will be to wipe them out.a it goes on to say: awhat asecret weapona does micahas prophecy indicate jehovah would raise up against that implacable foeaathe assyriana?

a very unlikely oneaaseven shepherds, yes, eight dukesa!

lol, i recal being at the meeting for this lesson ,and me and the brother sitting next to me, just smiled and shook our heads, and after he asked me

do you get any of this? it makes no sense, what are they talking about?

and i said no, and i dont believe it either, and he agreed. he then proceded to tell me that when he asked and elder about something in a previous lesson that was equally stupid, the elder told him, 'well, we will have it cleared up eventaually'

wow. 'feed' the flock a bunch of crap, they will 'talk' a bunch of crap
