JW Mentality
by Crooked Lumpy Vessel ini recently received a visit from a sister who is moving out of the area.
she was telling me how she would live in her new place on the weekends and then stay here locally in an apartment (mon - fri) while she and her husband finish out their last year before retirement.
what made the conversation so mental was she was explaining this to me in terms of how she would be attending her meetings.

Is religion and faith not possible for some?
by littletree ini ask this question because i'm starting to have the scarey feeling that i was born "faithless".
other than feeling that babies and flowers are beautiful and miraculous, i have been having the darndest time feeling 100% sure that god exists and cares.
things that religious folks say are "blessings" i just see as the product of human effort and choice, or as stuff that probably would have happened anyway.

What book are you reading now?
by ozziepost infrom time to time we like to share some good reads with each other on jwd, and now might be a good time to share with you what i'm reading this week.
it's "the gate" by francois bizot which tells of his experiences as the only western prisoner to survive the khmer rouge in cambodia.
in 1971, on a routine outing through the cambodian countryside, the young french ethnologist francois bizot is captured by the khmer rouge.

I need HELP!!!!!!!!!
by Samdownunder incan anyone relate and help with the nagging doubts that it really was the"truth" and we are all doing the wrong thing and being misled.
i have read a lot of information to sway me from the witnesses and to think it is only a man made religion, but still i fear i could be wrong and going against god.
how do you all deal with this feeling that surely most have experienced.

Publishers should charge the WTS for gas money
by Nosferatu inlet's face it, the publishers get ripped off.
they make up for the payment of magazines when the householder fails to donate anything.
they spend their time and gas money going door to door, not to mention wear and tear on their cars.. the publishers should quit paying for the householder's lack of donation, and begin deducting gas expenses from donation money.
