remember how we were told to engage people on the street, that standing and holding the magazines was not countable time?
those days are gone.
they have been reduced to the status of those guys on the street who hold huge "little ceaser" pizza signs and "homes for sale".
Remember how we were told to engage people on the street, that standing and holding the magazines was not countable time? Those days are gone. Now its more like this. They have been reduced to the status of those guys on the street who hold huge "little Ceaser" pizza signs and "Homes for sale". Pathetic.
Here they are, hard at work in the fields rich for harvesting!
hi,.
i just stumbled upon this photo on facebook (pic by david j. m. coleman), and as they say, a picture is worth a thousand words.... .
.
Ok the young one is playing a game, quality time for sure!
watched "the maze runner" this day.
couldn't help thinkng this could be an allegorical story on the wbts.
not as engrossing as "hunger games or "divergent", though along the same theme.
Saw it too. Dylan O'brien is a great little actor but they squandered him by making him this creature that just stares dramatically. Was way over done. There were lots of great things in it and I liked it very much. Especially the walls that turned and closed off areas. It has lots of excitement. The ending was kind of predictable and ended so abruptly I was wondering about whether this wasn't an introduction to something bigger coming later.
my uber jw mother fell and broke her arm a couple of weeks ago.
first off no one told me until 5 days later when i called to check in with her.
there was someone staying with her at the time but that person was going to have to go elsewhere for a week.
Though it is especially heinous the way JW's treat the elderly, it is not uncommon for the elderly to be neglected. They just dont fill a need for most people. There are a few who enjoy helping others and can see through the stresses of being with those who are declining in years. Life rolls on and they are doing what the elderly did when they were younger, living. I take care of my dad (in his late 80's with chronic pain) and its not easy while dealing with my own health issues. In the end, witness or not, it is our family that we should be able to count on. Hope you can visit more often.
i am still in & gradually fading.
i have always wondered why alot of jw's that i know are really into alot of sci-fi stuff like star wars, i robot, x-men stuff etc.
i mean they take it another level with this fantasy stuff.
It's interesting that most Sci-fi is based on atheistic themes. You would wonder why somthing so "Ungodly" is so popular. Agreed, escapism where no God is referenced. not at all like a meeting!
we are responding the announcement by ashya king's father that he will allow.
blood transfusion if medically necessary.
those not familiar with the story can.
YEAH!
okay, so its no secret that many of us are hoping to see the downfall of the wtbts (or at least a mass exodous of jws away from them anyway).
i was wondering if you had any thoughts on what this might look like?.
we all know that most every jw has their doubts, large and small, but is afraid to speak due to the illusion of unanimity and self censorship .
I just hope its better than this End was!
nothing good exists outside jw world is the general thinking among jws.
if they read the heart of the enlightened (written by anthony de mello), they would probably feel how wrong they were!
story goes like this: there once lived a godly man.
Because those from whom this comes dont take into account God's name and its need for sanctification which is much more important than some old holy guys shadow. And come on now, what people need are magazines with JW.ORG plastered on them.
how strange today's study was!.
warning examples of apostacy, and saying to all witnesses "watch for bad associations in the cong".
talk about paranoia and distrust amongst themselves!.
The hell with them, think for yourself!
i was baptized at the age of 11. like most of us, my commitment wasnt to honor god but rather i was gang pressed into the service of the wtbts.
and, at such a young age, it was impossible for me to appreciate the enormity of my actions.
honestly, how could i possibly have known any better?
Not born in but born next to. My family never took hold, I was first at 16. Was raised as if they were JW's but not, very halfassed not baptized. I sealed the deal. Dumb kid! The dominoes fell after that.
