THERE were about 20,000 people at the racetrack that day. I was standing near a sign that read "Lost and Found" when I noticed an elderly woman approaching.
What was a witness doing at a racetrack..........................hope he wasnt GAMBLING
my mother once found a man's wallet and returned it to him.
she said "i am a jehovah's witness and we are honest people, that's why i am returning this to you.
" when i told her that i would return his wallet also and i am the antithesis of a jehovah's witness, and that i was disgusted that she would give them credit for her own decent nature, she just carried on about how he would be more likely to listen next time they knocked at his door... i found it repulsive that an act of nothing more than decent behaviour (where one treats another as they would like to be treated) was made out to be something exceptional... and that my mother used the occasion to laud the wtbts... good grief!!!!!!!!!

well, a while ago i posted a letter i wrote requesting reinstatment.
i waited a while and decided it's time to give it to the guys.
i'm going to give it to them tomorrow night.
I have been in counseling for some time now because I recognized the fact that I was indeed powerless to my addiction.
I would definitely take that out
i was just hopping the boards and came across this discussion on e-mans site.
its just so unbelievable how the (men?
) in the org still view women!
Just a couple of gems I picked out
I am unsure how it would be if they were made MS's or elders but I have a feeling these are positions women don't really want. I could be mistaken.
Maybe Women are at the bottom of this particular ladder due to thier having been created for man, not man created for women
I respect my husband but we always make joint decisions. It amazes me how JWs fall into line, without really believing it. I know I did.
I hated it when women were commendated on the platform, it was so condescending...................
The worse thing was when you were on sevice on a Saturday morning with territory you had worked all week. You would have to stand there while a snotty 17 year old told you were to go and what to do, and not challenge him if he were wrong !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i was having a look at the accounts of three local congs as i had heard a bit about the borg beginning to run low on cash as donations are falling.
locally, i was very surprised to see the cash flow problems of these congregations.
i had a look at other areas and saw that there were a minority making a small 'profit', a lot breaking even when it comes to contributions and a fair amount that are losing the plot financially.. congregation 1. accounts for 2005/06 income was short 19,000, yes, their expenditure was that much over their income.. congregation 2. accounts for 2005/06 income was short 11,000.. congregation3.
Nope wouldn´t work for me

i have been to several apostafests and meetups, some i even organized.
i have met some truly wonderful people, and there has always been a sense of camraderie that i have felt.
I expect alot of negative flack coming from the far left wing of the X JW community, especially since Im pursuing this in a Christian venue firs
So youve decided to be the next pope???
Honestly I cant think of anything you are going to do will create enemies here
A few posters have been reinstated and no one has been really horrible, so go for it!
when i was a teenager, and really trying hard to be a "super witness" i remember thinking that if all the wicked people were destroyed, how would this change our everyday life.. what happends to the people that supply electricity, water, garbage collection, gas, fuel for cars, mechanics, farmers, cattle herders, etc.... how would we survive?
if armafoggeten happened in the winter would those in colder climates die?.
i you were on some sort of medical equipment that required electricity, would you die if there is no one a run to work in the electrical plant?.
I was reading a very funny article that asked "What about all the cows" ? It went onto ask what would happen to all the cows that would need milking the day after armageddon.........................well I dont know how to milk a cow, can you?
alright, i admit it.
i have been this close to posting a number of times.
