A Newbie Comment......
by Nan ini'm a newbie, but have been reading this board for quite a while.
i have never been a jw nor anyone in my family, so i feel like i don't quite fit in with all of you, but hope you'll welcome me.
i have done extensive research and study of the watchtower teachings.

Free for a year
by houdini inwell this week marks an anniversary for me.
it's one year to the week since i last stepped foot in a kigndom hall and attended any meeting.. i'm still not totally free as one of the elders in my ex-congregation still calls round every week to see me and still leaves the watchtower and awake magazines.
i still don't put them straight in the recycling bag were they belong but i'm getting there.. houdini.

What Excuses Did You Make Up For Being a Witness?
by minimus inremember, how on tuesdays and thursdays, we never saw that tv program everyone was always talking about at work, the next day?
and the reason was because we had to go to the meeting.
people would talk about seinfeld and die laughing because of the episodes.

Antidotes to the Watchtower
by Mysterious inyou know how the dubs always say that good study habits and meeting attendance help keep you from "wordly influences" well it's high time we had our own antidotes i think.
else think of it like penance.
watchtower study - blondie's watchtower commentary.

Blondies WT studies
by simplesally inyou know, i love reading blondie's wt studies and her comments.
today, one thought is sticking in my mind: the fact that noah had 500 years to preach and that lot had "5 minutes".....he was trying to get his sons-in-law to go with them out of sodom.
i would suppose that the gb would say that the brothers knew lot to be a god-fearing, jehovah-worshipping man and that he would certainly not steer them wrong, therefore, they should have heeded his advice without question and that maybe the angels were of such beauty or noticeably were sons of god that the sons should have had no excuse.. now, my point is this: has anybody had enough guts to bring up one of blondie's points up at the meeting or in conversation with another jw to see what would be said.. i think it would have been interesting to have commented on the lot/noah thing this morning.
