i dont have to get ready
by Ellie in.
even if you have been out for a while, does it ever hit you that you don't have to get ready and rush out to a meeting?.
i just looked at the clock, its 18.30, if i were still in i'd be screaming at the kids now to get ready for the book study, but here i am, not even made dinner yet.. life is good!

Yesterday's Tower
by 5thGeneration insome funny comments.. 1.
"an elder and his wife who have raised three children report: 'from an early age, our children were involved in choosing where we would go on vacation... certain milestones in our children's lives were recognized...'" ???.
"at a time that does not interfere with spiritual activities, a few families may decide to enjoy a picnic together or play a game that is not overly competitive.

Assembly comment anger
by 5thGeneration in.
said at our assembly that our research of the bible teaches us that jehovah is a "what have you done for me lately" god.. really nice!.
the society continues to make jehovah impossible to please.

Simple logic?
by 5thGeneration inthe society says that jehovah is allowing time so that satan cannot refute the fact that man has tried "everything" and could not succeed without god.. the society also says that won't it be great when we are in the new system and can use our full brain capacity that we were created with.
just think what we will be able to accomplish when we can use more than 0.01% of our brain.. uhhm, am i missing something?
to me, based on those reasonings, it is totally logical to now say that satan will always be able to say that man was not given a proper chance to rule themselves because they were essentially handicapped.. just something new keeping me up at night these days!

Door to door
by 5thGeneration in.
don't know if this has been discussed but why does the society not df someone who violates the direct command to go door-to-door but will df for things not specifically mentioned in the bible?.
any thoughts?.

Criticisim
by 5thGeneration in.
i have to say that generally the criticism on this board toward jws is over the top.. i personally have huge problems with the 'truth' right now in my life but i notice the ones who have literally nothing good to say about anything.. there are a lot of good witnesses and a lot of good doctrine and a lot of good motives among jws.. criticism fine, but jesus commended when due.. .
