Watchtower logo on side of kingdom hall
by cyberdyne systems 101 inmy old kingdom hall has the watchtower logo built into the brick work on the side that faces the road - to me for a hall that is supposed to be dedicated to god, its a bit wrong to have a corporation logo on the side of it.
maybe its there to show they and not the congregation own it???

The Image of Daniel chapter 2
by cyberdyne systems 101 ini have been looking at some of the society's publications recently and was wondering what people's understanding without wts bias was to the image?

Lords evening meal/last supper
by cyberdyne systems 101 inhas anyone else wondered why the witnesses hold a meeting in order to 'keep doing this in rememberance of me' ?
since i was old enough to think and reason (yes i know how terrible!
) i could never understand why our 'celebration', the one thing important to true christians in the year, was another meeting!

I finally did the right thing
by cyberdyne systems 101 ini had been friendly to a woman i met recently and wanted to take things further, but found out she was with someone when i asked if she wanted my number.
i bumped into her again two weeks later and she then asked for my number, so i asked her again was she with someone, she said yes but she could still text me.
my gut reaction through mistakes i have made in the past was to not get involved.

Disfellowshipped but sister in the 'truth' to be married soon
by cyberdyne systems 101 injust wanted to start a topic on an event that will occur sometime later this year - namely my sister is to be married.
she is a witness as is her boyfriend, none of his family are in but only myself and my dad are not (he has never joined) from my sister imediate family.
so i was wondering what to expect, what experiences people here have had being someone who has left and then later been disfellowshipped, and then finding they might be invited to a witness wedding?

My daughter had a word with me
by cyberdyne systems 101 ini went to collect my two daughters last night and my eldest (8) wanted to have a private word with me.
she took me upstairs to her room and said she didnt want me to get her birthday presents as she would be pleasing satan!
although a little taken aback about the fear and attitude her mother and the wts are instilling in her, i simply asked her if it was her fault that i choose to celebrate the day of my daughters birth, like she has some control over people's gift giving?

Did paintball at the weekend
by cyberdyne systems 101 init was for a birthday treat for one of my friends, me and his best friend arranged it and wow was it a laugh!
i got some good bruises going on, but thats all part of the fun.. i'd always wanted to do it, and apart from doing something called laser quest, which is just light guns, i'd always considered it to much of a no no, when a dub.
i recommend it to anyone, there was men, women, children of say 13 or 14 too, the paint balls are a bit pricy but if its a one off, and the memories you take away are great.. cs 101.

A question about the ladies
by cyberdyne systems 101 inok firstly i have nothing against ladies, especially any of the lovely ones here - some of whom i recently had the pleasure of meeting in the flesh at englishmans bbq, and i must say what a great group of girls we have here!.
anyway back to my question, a number of times i have noticed that some women seem to go quiet on you rather than tell you what they feel.
almost like pushing you away because they can't speak about whatever it is.

Divorce came through
by cyberdyne systems 101 intime for reflection i guess, i had thought i was further along in the healing process, but sometimes i seem to slip right back to where it all started.
though i will never go back, i can see why people cling to something like the witness.
they want to think they are doing something worth while, have some order and purpose in their lives, have a pool of people that can befriend.
