I don't want to live forever on the earth
by Jez ini have come to the conclusion that i do not want to live forever.
tomorrow would never come, i would not do it because i could do it tomorrow, or tomorrow or tomorrow.
time would cease to exist as there would be no need to keep track of things.

JW's are OBSESSED with numbers
by Jez ini went to church on sunday, for my daughter, with my daughter.. i noticed something, they don't count how many are there.
it got me remembering how jw's count count count count at meetings, then put it up on the back bulletin board, then at assemblys and announce it right away, how many went out in service.. more numbers=keeping track of bible studies, placements, family studies..... it goes on and on....why?
i think to guilt members into doing more, if it were all free choice then it would be our decision to come, go, go out in service, etc.
