  by kneehighmiah in

  all throughout my life tuesdays were my meeting nights.

  well tuesdays and thursdays to be more precise, when we had book study but book study was at my house so it wasn't terrible.

  anyways as a kid i hated coming home from school, doing homework and then going to the meetings.

  as a child, I hated satrudays and sundays because i was dificult to wake up. school for me was a nightmare.

  i hated service, so saturday was not a day i looked forward to.

  my mother would spring on me at the last moment the news that we were going out in service, be it after the meeting or saturday morn.

  i was never mentally prepared.

  she never made plans she thrust stuff on me out of the blue. and week nights shed be the last one out, we wouldnt get home till 10 or 11 pm

  and i had to get up for school at 6. i needed 10 hours of sleep half my life.

  every single time school had any sort of event, like open house , or a football game, or anything fun. it was always on a tuesday or thursday. it

  never failed!

  so i couldnt go. my mom never ever did anything for me involvong school.[she wouldn miss a meeting no matter what,even when my dad was in the hospital! shed leave him for a convention too.]

  i had one friend in school. and if my mom had her way she would have put a stop to it.

  1 - still think it's the truth ...came to this site cause danger is your middle name.. 2 - concerned, smoething's amiss but still believe.

  3 - 98% sure it's bs, but still go for / with family.

  4 - anger / denial, inactive with minimal attendance (ie memorial, spec talk etc).

  yea, i m a 4 1/2 to 5. because come memorial i have no clue how im going to deal with that when it comes to my mother.she will tell me to go up to her hall. but ill tell her im going to someone elses.

  hopefully she will not ask someone from the current cong i did go to, if i showed up. although, its pretty crowded so no one notices anyway.

  wow, toweragent how did you not stand there and giggle like a ten year old?

  ive never seen mine, never signed anything, and its MIA right now has been for three years.

  becasue when i moved into an apartment while my husband and i were seperated

  it got sent to that cong, and then when i came back , it never came with me. one time an elder aksed me if i was going to return to the cong and where shoud he send y card to, and i said here i guess, i was stuned becasue i had been going there for almost 8 months.

  i never heard about it again. who the heck knows what it says, i never did anything to write down. maybe it says 'weak service habits' lol

  and why were we called publishers?

  because they publish books and 'sell' them

  Watchtower Dec 2014 page 4

  by Mr Fool in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  wt dec-2014 page4: "a bulgarian woman named irana rigthly observed, -it is not posspible to be close to god if you don t know his name.

  ".

  if so many know his name, why this debate "jehovah vs yahweh" then?.

  because it might be jesus. everyone knows that name, who it represents, what he did, how he died and the fact that he is ruling.

  its his name every knee shal bend to.

  its in his name that we are saved. he died for us so that we may live.

  jehovah did not.

  "Jehovah's Witnesses do better after surgery without transfusion" - Article (July 3, 2012)

  by Da.Furious in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this article from 2012 published by the birmingham news showed up on my facebook page.. what i would have liked to see in the statistics is the inclusion of total jws refusing blood transfusion and their survival rate not only the ones taht surviced, taking about only survivors is not like for like comparison in my opinion with patients who take blood transfusion and then dont survive.. .

  its always preffered to have surgery without blood, for obvious reasons. one being that when they put the volume into you often times a weal heart cannot pump the quanity and they suffer heart failure. this is a mistake on the hospital staff.

  however only when your life is being threatend and there is no other way would I accept one. blood looses its oxygen in 72 hours, id did my father no good.

  the injection that many thing is better to get to imporve blood count is also very dangerous. sometimes we just cant make miricles happen. we do what we can at the time.

  as for the belief that perhaps G.C may have, let me ask, are you under the law of moses? if so, why are you not doing all the other laws and sacrifices?

  jesus fullfilled the law. but did he get rid of it? he was bound by it. he spoke of it, so I dont think so, but paul said we do not have to be under the law to have Gods grace. we cant cherry pick which laws to follow, as for me, im not an israelite, thank you very much, so im good.

  sorry i still dont know how to spell check on here my computer wont auto do it on this site.

  The height of delusion on display at last Tuesdays meeting...

  by BU2B in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i literally just sat there with my mouth open.

  sometimes the delusional mind of jws takes steroids.. it was during the draw close to jehovah study where they praise the mosaic law and how perfectly wonderful it was.

  you should have seen the almost giddy attitude the conductor had and the comments from the audience.
