One young man from my old hall gave his child the middle name Sydlik ... He told me if Dan Sydlik of the GB was good enough to be chosen by Jesus ,then he is good enough to name his child after ..... I kid you not.......

"...A God's Voice, And Not A Man's!" (Acts 12:22; 2 Thess. 2:3, 4) ... That Day Is Here!
by bjc2read inquestion: how are members of the governing body of jehovah's witnesses themselves, actually viewed by jehovah's witnesses today?.
well, the following related experience may help answer that provocative question, giving us a glimpse of what the possible future days will bring us.
yes, the answer to that question may even be quite shocking to us, ... with simply terrible, disastrous results!!!

One of my part time jobs is at a retail gift store . I have worked there for over 20 yrs . The owner has had this seminar a few times over the past few yrs ,and I am scheduled to once again attend this weekend . It is making my stomach turn ....the thought of wasting my weekend day off listening to a slick salesmen pitch new ways to coerice a buyer into spending more . It may cost me my job ,but I just don't think I can go through with another one of these sales seminars !!!
I know who I am ,and who I am not . That being said I am good at my job ,and customers appreciate the help I extend to them .However i am sure the owner thinks I could squeeze a few more sales out of these people if I tried .
One of the reasons I think I hate this sooo much is that it reminds me of attending KH meetings . The technique is similar in sales as it was going door to door . #1 ) Finding common ground with the customer #2) Making what you have to sell appear as if they can not live without it .....blah blah blah it is a sham .....
I am a very geniune ,kind, person . I hate to be fake ! I know I am there to help you find what gift you want or need ,and not there to be your best friend in the world ....behaving like I am seems to me to be over stepping boundries . I also am practical and frugal ,I detest the idea of 'add-on sales' that the person really does not want or need .
Thanks for allowing me to vent . If you have similar feelings let me hear it .

My mother is losing her old personality
by Faithful Witness ini have been trying to engage and talk to my mother and her "natural" personality as much as possible.
she has obvious concerns about the jw's, and we do discuss issues almost every time she visits.
we didn't see her for long stretches (months at at time, and suddenly a year had gone by...) we have now both committed to a minimum of a monthly visit, and we will work toward more.

" Love ya, and would never avoid you…….I love you and always will ; Mom " .........Those are the words you should be focused on ,you are reading too much into her introduction .You said it yourself she has a dry sense of sarcasm .
Your mom is in your life ,and actively associating with you ...count your blessings .

Sex really that bad?
by Batman89 ini was just thinking randomly.
why/how are sexual desires really that much of a sin??.
sexual energy is one of the highest forms of energies known, why would god put this strong desire in us only to have us repress it through his"word the bible"??.
