cell phones and field service
by lucky ini left the borg before the advent of cell phones (or at least before they were so common), but i was just curious about how they've impacted field service.
when i was a pioneer, it seems like we wasted a lot of time driving or walking around looking for other field service groups in the territory or trying to figure out where other groups went for break (or as blondie mentioned in a previous post, not being able to find a group in the territory after you'd done a rv or an errand on your own was a great excuse for skipping door-knocking).
now that cell phones are so commonplace, it seems like these lovely excuses for time wasting are no longer valid.

Are young JWs staying in or moving out of the borg?
by zagor inreally, just wondering if new generation of dubs is mostly faithful or tempted to try it all out.
are they faithful to the mother borg or are they starting to question it all.
i mean 10 to 20 years ago it took ages to come across some undesirable info about the borg, but now it is everywhere.

Lost our Kitty...
by jeanniebeanz inyou remember about a month ago i had asked you all for ideas on how to deliver johnny cats medication for hyper-thyroid issues (which worked beautifully, thank you!)..
well, it finally happened... we took johnny cat in to the vet because he was having seizures.
it scared the crap out of us when it happened.. when we got there, the vet told us he had lymphoma and it would only get worse rapidly.

This takes balls....
by chrissy in...and considering i don't have any, it is surprising that i found the nerve to post my photo as my avatar!
i was leery to use my photo thinking someone i knew could catch on to my new apostate antics.
so, i couldn't decide what to use.

Did losing your religion send you into/exacerbate depression?
by SixofNine ini think most of us here agree that our past belief in the jw organization as being god's sole chosen people was delusional on our part.
for myself, when i lost that delusion (fairly abruptly too), i came out of a long period of depression immediately.
while i was incredibly angry at having been decieved, i can't say that that anger translated into any other negatives, in fact, overall, i think my general level of anger, even at elders/the gb/etc subsided, as i now understood why they do what they do even better than they themselves understand it.

What's the most thought-provoking novel you've ever read?
by lucky ini'd have to say for me that it was ayn rand's the fountainhead.
even though i don't agree with a lot of her philosophy, it definitely made me stumble around in a thought-induced haze for a few weeks after reading it.

What if either Adam or Eve had remained perfect?
by Sith ini've never heard this addressed before.
according to the wts, joe hoba didn't destroy adam and eve when they sinned, because that would have only proven his power...that he could destroy that which he created.
he allowed them to stay alive and multiply so that he could prove the rightness of his rule and to answer satan's criticism.
