We had a brother in our circuit who had a voice that was high pitched and SO feminine. Yes he was married, none the less he couldn't say hello without everyone looking at each other in disbelief. His signature talk? "A Godly View of Sex & Marriage". I never laughed so hard in my life and we just couldn't bare to bring him back again. Oddly enough he was on so many Circuit assemblies in the 80's I couldn't get through the program without astonishment. I am sure if he weren't a true believer he would have been in drag.

The clip is from the movie San Andreas, a full fledged Hollywood blockbuster, the original rip was stealing from Newline Cinema and you received stolen goods by using it again. Tsk Tsk. -

Should I stay married to my JW wife
by gatorguy inme and my wife were at the beach the other day and i finally told her, i don't think i believe in god anymore.
i fessed up to the fact that it started with me doubting some jw beliefs and then it just led me to this point where i don't even believe in god.
i wouldn't say that i even have a negative view towards jw's or religion in general.

If you love her how could you ask this question? I don't get it. If you are fighting all the time and miserable I could see it. Will it be that way? Only you can determine. NO kids if you are this fickle. Good luck.

Will the talk where They say treat inactive ones as apostates back fire?
by Crazyguy ina few years ago they had a similar talk and my mother stopped talking to my sister.
after a few weeks the sister called and when mom told her my sister said but i love your my mother.
something to that effect.

It's hard enough to get them to shun actually disfellowshipped relatives, I doubt it will effect inactive slackers or non baptized ones. I think it is more likely that if you push your non jw agenda on them they will choose not to associate just to stop the bells from going off in their heads.

Jehovah`s Witnesses ,/ conditioned to speak with anyone ...except any who are knowledgeable about JW beliefs .Why is that ?
by smiddy inrecent experiences on here about cart witnessing when an ex jw engages them in discussion , it`s not long usually before the jw excuses themselves packs up and moves on .. if they really believed they have the "truth" they should be confident enough to win their argument/discussion.and stand their ground.. obviously they aren`t.. if we believe the bible jesus and his apostles never shied away from talking to / engaging in discussions with the jewish religious leaders of the day.?.
not so with jehovah`s witnesses they are instructed not to engage with ex jw`s , people who know what jw`s believe inside out.and can effectively refute their arguments.and point to their failures.. if their faith is that shallow that talking to an ex jw will weaken their own faith , then they really do not have a very strong foundation of their own faith do they.. smiddy.

If you want to remain "content" with your faith, why debate with a "malcontent"? Pretty obvious isn't it. I think you're over thinking it.

Help - I'm going to be conducting the watchtower study
by Saltheart Foamfollower init looks like i'm going to have to take the watchtower study for a while so i thought i'd seek help.. i wont be outing myself or stating anything too controversial, but so far i have come up with the following tactics : 1) ask questions which will get people thinking even if it is about something insignificant - developing a questioning mind is the key to discovering ttat as far as i am concerned.
2) highlight any extreme points so that some might realise they are extreme.
3) highlight any good points - helping others in need for example - just because it is the right thing to do.. if anyone has any general comments which could help, please post them here.

Be careful not to use terms from "Christendom" such as "Jesus is our savior", "are you saved"? or whatever. I used to ask, "are we in a saved condition?" ie: living up to our dedication and not practicing sin by putting faith in Jesus blood. I never mentioned "doing the preaching work" or placing magazines etc. The mags are pretty rigid, I'm not sure how you can insert any brain teasers. I think I would need the article being considered to answer your question. You can do it, all the best.

An old brother I knew had bestiality on his computer, go figure? He was a Ministerial Pervant too.
