Good letter best wishes with your mom
Inside the "truth" we seem to have a policy of unconditional love with conditions.
I like this statement too true!!!!
Conditions made by people we don't even know.
two nights ago i got fed up and decided to e-mail my mother with some concerns.
it was nice to see you as well mother, and i love you too!
i like your car, please be safe when you drive it.

let's discuss "watchtower worship"....or the understanding of the idea of "worship".
this is defined as "a reverence for god" in my dictionary.
the cold and clinical buildings that they "worship" in,
That the WTS uses the word "hall", as in Dance hall, Community hall, Pool hall or Union hall
Why are they called Kingdom Halls ?? Just to be different from other christian congregations?
To be part of the Kingdom of God you must be of the 144,000.
So why is the Great Crowd mostly in these Kingdom Halls?
Kingdom Halls, I don't get it?
"our father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified.
10 let your kingdom come.
let your will take place, as in heaven, also upon earth.
Hi JH,
Exactly Leolaia, they don't want to copy other religions using this prayer, and if you notice, Jesus didn't say Jehovah, but only our father.
I checked the New Testament and there isn't one instance that I could find where Jesus used Jehovah's name in prayer.
Things to make you go Hmmmmmmmm
have come to chapter 8. i'm genuinely surprised with depth of arguments and clarity of thinking of it's author.
book definitely deserves 5 star rating.
i've read many different authors but i've gotta admit ray is among the top writers i've read so far.
Hi Serendipity,
to bad I can't make the bull s__ting out a watctower
i thought of all the money i saved on not buying all the meeting clothes for my family, and it got me wondering about the reason why jw,s need to dress up for everything they do.
i think it must have all started because russell had that clothing store and this was a good way for him to have a cornered market.

I don't know about the rest of the world but here on the east coast JW,s like to show off their threads maybe I'm in a more affluent area. anyhoooo Think of the weddings I've been to "wordly weddings"
and none of them compare to the witness weddings.
Oh yeah the thing of coming into Jah's presence at a meeting and being decked out is BS,
should you throw on the meeting clothes every time you say a prayer ?

lovelylil,
That's a very kind act, nice.
JW lurkers just order one of the books no one will catch you will have your eyes opened.
It's crazy the fear factor the WTS has implanted in peoples mind. AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

wasn't it irritating though and nonsensical to wear a suit and tie or dress to someones home for a book study.
$$$$Russell$$$$ and clothing any conection?????

Gentile Times Reconsidered is very good to.
prophecor : I know what you mean.
When you think of all the indoctrination you recieved ( me born into, loyal till 37 years old ) I'm happy it only took about 5 years to totally recover and to see it for the cult that it is.

i have a copy of may 1,1998 watchtower.
when i heard a few years ago about the witnesses believing that they were the locusts i thought it was just a rumour; that even for a jw org it was too far fetched.
a few weeks ago i read about it again on this site.
Page 144 of Rev. book makes this claim, 1988 though might be old light.

This is a very good article on the subject, shows how foolish JW,s stance is.
