The joys of field service
by TallTexan ini posted this as a response under another post, but i couldn't resist starting a topic on it...lol.
does this sound familiar to anyone???
when i was a jw, i thought there was nothing cooler than getting up at 7 a.m. on saturday, getting showered, putting on dress clothes, meeting at 8:30 a.m., answering a bunch of phony 'how are you this morning's', watching as people jockey for position in their favorite car groups so that they could be with their friends (because god forbid you get stuck in a car group with someone not in your clique), and miss looney tunes while listening to some lame attempt at a 30-second presentation by brother monotonous, then being sure to get out by 9:00 a.m. 'cuz if you were with brother rule-conscious you couldn't start your time until you knocked on that first door.

My problem w/ evolution vs. creationism
by TallTexan ini personally don't care what anyone else believes.
i believe that there is a creator that created the heavens and earth.

How much time does the WTBT$$ have left?
by TallTexan inobviously, there is no answer to this, i just think it's an interesting ??.
my personal opinion is that within 10 years, the wts will be a shell of it's current (and especially former) self.
it may not even take that long.

Bad Behavior in Field Service
by TallTexan inbeing raised in the 'truth', i obviously spent much of my youth in service.
of course, as we got older, my friends and i would act the fool in service as much as possible.
we used to use the names of popular rap artists with the old farts we called on.

RE: Adulterous marriage
by TallTexan inhi tepic (dad) :-).
as usual, the gb has created an irreconcilable paradox.
if someone marries someone in the situation you described, then, according to the gb they are committing adultery, and thus in an adulterous marriage.

Who ARE the 144,00??
by TallTexan inthere have been a couple of posts recently about the 144,000. since the wt theory is bogus, i ask the forum, "who are the 144,000"?
i know the traditional view of some religions is that they are 144,000 literal jews who will convert near the gt to witness to the jewish population.
not sure that makes a whole lot of sense to me.

Catholic girl denied communion
by TallTexan indon't know if y'all have seen this, but it strikes me as very 'watchtower-ish".
basically, regardless of your desire to 'do what is right', if you can't do it how they say it's 'right', then you're screwed.
i don't agree w/ catholicism, but this little girl probably has nightmares of going to hell b/c the "holy" church won't let her take communion.. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5762478/?gt1=4529

Chilling experience
by TallTexan ino.k....most people that know me know me to be a rational and logical person not prone to hype or the sensational.
nor am i infatuated with the supernatural as many jw's/ex-jw's are/were.
with that said, let me relate what happened to me at work last night.. on saturday night, we had four bad burns come in.
