keep her alive til 5!

i put this on "friends" cos i think you are!

mr c(crumpet) has gone away on holiday until sunday at 5. i am all alone and with 8.00 to last me the whole time from now until then.

i think i am going to feel lonely - in fact i am already - so this is an open thread.

Poor little girl! All alone until Sunday with hardly any money and already bored.Sounds like a recipe for trouble.Maybe you should start by attending the meeting tonight,then a little service tomorrow morning,the book study on Thursday night,Friday to catch your breath and back out in service Saturday morning,the Watchtower on Sunday morning and wow,your honey's home already!

I'm just kidding Crumpet,I'm sure you can't find something a lot more interesting to occupy your time.Have a good one.

7.meeting Attendence-definitely much lower around here,and to think at one time they were talking about splitting up the congregation in two or building another hall.I don't think any of that is going to happen soon.

TOP TEN SIGNS THAT YOU ARE AN UNQUESTIONING JEHOVAH'S WITNESS

by nicolaou in

10- you vigorously deny the existence of thousands of gods claimed by other religions, but feel outraged when someone denies the existence of your god - jehovah.. .

9- you feel insulted and 'dehumanized' when scientists say that people evolved from lesser life forms, but you have no problem with the biblical claim that we were created from dirt.. .

8- you laugh at polytheists, but you have no problem believing in multidues of demons, angels, cherubs etc.. .

Goldminer

You firmly believe that jesus returned in 1914,invisibly,even though it was once thaught he returned in 1874,invisibly.And the he went on a 4 year campaign to examine the religions of the world to find the only one who was producing the proper food at the proper time;then in 1918 he chose the WTBTS and decided they were the FDS even though the WTBTS teaches that the FDS was put in place by Jesus in 33 C.E.;all this all the heels of the WTBTS setting up their Millions Now Living Will Never Die campaign and foretelling the end of the world for the year 1925.

And all this without any scriptural proof! AAAHHH!

Sure it's funny,but most of here believed it at one time.I don't anymore.

seeing as you're reading this thread, can i assume that you're not going out preaching 'bout dis gutt news uf de king-dumb this morning?

what do you do with all your free sattiday mornings now that you don't have to sell magazines for 2 hours?

Goldminer

I got up at 5:30 am and went to work,no problem.

It used to be hell getting up at 8:30am to go out in service.

This is probably very immature of me, but

by Crumpet in

friends

last night my ex boyfriend finally admitted to me that he cheated on me whilst we were going out.

we split up about 7 years ago.

what is irking me most is that i've asked him before if he had and he totally denied it.

Just walk girl.I know my advice sounds simple or maybe lame but that's just the way I am now,I've been walked on too many times.

Why Is Love Among Jehovah's Witnesses Now Only Third Rate?

by metatron in

jw
friends

years ago, in the watchtower's truth book, the chapter called "how to identify the true .

religion" offered a set of reasons for thinking that jw's had the "truth".. the very first "identifying mark " of "true religion" was stated as having "love among.

themselves" as jesus plainly said in john 13: 35 : "by this all will know that you are my.

Goldminer

Actually,love should always remain in first place.The points you make are very good,very sneaky how they subtely change things to fit their current agenda.I believe the love Jesus spoke about was true,genuine,christian love.Most witnesses don't have this real,genuine love,just a mask of it,therefore it's very to express it genuinely.

New outlook on life....

by schne_belly in

jw
friends

since leaving the org.

my view of life has changed significantly in many ways, as i'm sure is true for many of you.. i think differently about my future, fellow humans, friends, family, past time activites etc.

including music and lyrics.

Goldminer

I went sky-divin'

I went rocky mountain climbin'

I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named Fu Manchu

And I loved deeper,

And I spoke sweeter,

And I gave forgivness I've been denyin'

Taken from Tim Mcgraw's "Live like you were dyin'".Everytime I hear that song I feel like I've opened up and become a better person since freeing myself of the WT shackles.

The Jay-Dub GRIN

by GetBusyLiving in

remember that cheesy shit-eating dub grin that you would get from attendents and such after missing a bunch of meetings

Goldminer

Hey GBL,that grin was meant to be guilt-inducing to "incite to love and fine works,not forsaking the gathering of ourselves together....."

Oh well I guess we just didn't get it.
