this woman has just got to get back on track!
hehehee.
i feel much better now...hehehe.... :) i wish i were already a witness though.................... it breaks my heart that i've messed up like i have and have gotten off track!
What an odd woman! I hope she does really well for herself as a JW and ends up volunteering at Bethel. Maybe she can do her spooky, I'm-a-killer-clown-in-disguise giggles while eavesdropping on a Governing Body meeting. I would pay good money to see the looks on their faces when she giggles herself into that meeting room.

Hi all
Has anyone attended the circuit assembly this year? Do you know what it was about? Took any notes? Anything worth sharing with the board?
There is already some coverage on the Special Assembly Day for 2006 at http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/112324/1.ashx

i don't know how i ever doubted that intelligent design was correct!
after watching a video involving kirk cameron, i now see the error of my ways, and will be tithing 50% of my income to the church every month out of contrition.. .
you want to know the mighty argument that changed my views, and my life, forever?
What can I say? That vidoe was gripping!
Thanks, SOL

i am in a dilema at school that i need some feedback on.
my geography professor is a young caucasian man in his mid 30's.
he is very knowlegable about the other countries in the world but he always seem to make negative statements about blacks, hispanics, asians and native americans.
In any case, only you can decide when his comments are seriously impairing his job as college professor.I disagree. I feel that the college professor is "seriously impairing his job". The statement that you made is just like blaming a rape victim for turning in the rapist.
Dear Ms Mcducket
I am merely making the point that only booker-t can decide if there is a genuine problem here and whether this problem must be addressed. We've heard the reasons to suspect the professor is racist. Only booker knows if there are any reasons NOT to think this man is racist.
I am not as eager as you to deliver a mandate to booker on what to do in this situation. It is unwise to rashly interpret my lack of conviction as a lack of nerve or even a serious case of "blaming the victim". Being a college-going JW, I know what it is like to be discriminated against. Yet I do not rush to inflict unfair accusations against people, esp when they have reasons other than prejudice, affecting their behaviour. I prefer to give people the benefit of doubt before making conclusions about their character.

From what you've said so far, he sounds like he is prejudiced against some ethnic groups. But is he a genuine racist? He mentioned an ex-fiance who was "a black girl".
Would a genuine racist be involved in such a relationship? Maybe he's nursing a grudge to lick the wounds of love.
In any case, only you can decide when his comments are seriously impairing his job as college professor.

at the end of this years memorial talk, the speaker gave an announcement that a "special talk" will be given by jehovers witnesses through the world on april 30th, 2006. here is the outline for that talk.. credit for bringing this to us goes to a person who must remain anonymous.

is god still in control?.
HOW GOD’S RIGHT TO BE IN CONTROL WAS CHALLENGED (5 min.) Satan challenged Jehovah’s right to be in control (bh 109) He insinuated that Jehovah had lied to Adam (Ge 3:1-5; Re 12:9) By his actions Satan refused to accept Jehovah’s rulership He urged others to follow his rebellion The Devil also questioned God’s way of controlling matters He implied that God withheld benefits from His creatures (it-2 963) Asserted that man could rule himself successfully without God It would take time to settle the issues raised by Satan (bh 110-13) Satan has been allowed to develop his “world,” or “system of things,” of which he is the ruler (bh 31-2) (2Co 4:4) “The earth and that which fills it” still belong to Jehovah (Ps 24:1) During this time, Jehovah has not stepped in to correct every problem (bh 112) One of Satan’s ploys is to promote the idea that Jehovah has lost control Yet, Jehovah has demonstrated his supremacy in earth’s affairs
Has anyone else noticed that in a typical JW mind, one could very easily replace "Satan" and "God" with "apostates" and "FDS"?? Oh and "Adam"/"man" can also be replaced with "true servant of Jah".
Anyone else noticed this subliminal pattern of thought??
Or is that boringly obvious to us JWD regulars??
Btw, kudos to you, Elsewhere, and kudos to your shy source!!

i was happily day-dreaming the other day.
and somehow i thought of the witnesses i've personally known who've gone to china to spread watchtower propaganda.
and then this absolutely malevolent thought struck me.
Dear Penny2
I know I sounded harsh with my comments yesterday. Sorry if I caused any offence. I was in a funny mood and read your remarks in a certain way. Not a good combination.

ok well per my post yesterday most of you know i was suddenly disfellowshipped after my letter of baptism nullification.
i called the presiding overseer to ask why.
i specifically listed in my letter that i was not to be disfellowshipped nor was i disassociating myself.
Quick question: is it meant to be "legal counCIL" or "legal counSEL"?
Don't wanna make a fuss. Just seeking some clarification.

i've heard from 2 independent and impeccable sources "close to the gb" (i should have been a journalist!
) that the 2007 conventions are all to be held within a one month period.
as stadiums are often booked up to five years in advance , this has caused consternation among district overseers and at least one stadium has charged the jws several thousands of pounds in a penalty clause to cancel and reschedule the booking.
Haha, Jeeprube.
......
God I hope you're wrong.... <shudder>

Hi Dozy
Are you sure these sources of yours haven't planted a false rumor on you to confirm that you're on this website?
Just a stray thought.
