I'm confused....I thought Witness were not permitted to use the computer unless it was for work or to communicate with one another and the Society. They preach all the time that most websites are from Satan!!!!???

12"How'd you hear about the Memorial?" "CraigsList!"
by TJ - iAmCleared2Land inapparently quite a few jw's feel that inviting people to the memorial via craigslist is effective witnessing.
you know they counted their time typing out the free ad, too!.
edit: well, it won't let me post the google search url, and if i convert it to a tinyurl.com url, jwd shows it as url blocked.. go to google and put this in the search box:.

question about 'sealed book"
by bite me inquote: "only this organization functions for jehovah's purpose and to his praise.
to it alone god's sacred word, the bible, is not a sealed book.

agree with Homerovah the mighty. Jedi Master.
It is they'e own doctrine and they think only thye will be saved. That was one of my big complaints, just before I left.
It is you're heart condition that matters and only God can judge or Jesus. Not man.

"Special" Talk Outline for this Sunday?
by Mrs. Witness inlast night hubby told me that his brother (an elder) told him how "provocative" the outline for this sunday's special talk is.
apparently it's something like "who is qualified to rule mankind" and goes on about how government is not qualified.
he then asked me if i'd like to attend (ha ha).

I know they always have the "special talk" after the memorial. Is it my imagination, or is the talk a kind of Spring "try to get the attention of as many as possible to come into the fold" thing? Also the talk is usually about the same thing the talk was about last year, and the year before ,and the year before...
So Bethel is for sale, eh? I think they are just consolidating it all in Upstate NY, no?

Dear "Still-In,
Do you're elders know you are using a computer on this site???? I'm just curious, because when I was "still in" I was!!!!
This site had nothing to do with my decision to leave.

Darn, clicked on the videos and they are no longer available. Does that mean U-Tube pulled it?

No, I don't "miss" them at all. It was always the exact same text and quite frankly, I found it very stressful....Although many years ago, I used to feel in a trancendental state....Like I was on LSD. I don't think it was good. I find it a yearly event to cart out the "annointed" for they're once a year event and then lock them back up. They are not on the governing body, just people that "claim" that they are going to heaven to rule with Christ, you know one or more of the 144,000. I was told by the witnesses for over 40 years that each year the amount would get lower and lower, with them getting old and passing away. Then they changed that, to say more younger ones were being "Enlightened"???????Whatever

Yes, I too have taken the Memorial at home with wine and matzo. Read some Bible versus. That was last year, but this year, again, what was up with it so close to "Easter" instead of Passover, when they normally have it??????????????

WAIT...this is better
Two sisters came by yesterday and I was outside, so I said to these 2 sisters (who I knew for years from all the meetings, etc.) "Oh, you brought me my invitation to the memorial" and they said "No, that is over already" and I said (Being out of the truth now for 2 plus years after 40 in and out)
"what can you mean, It is always on the full moon on or about Passover."
So what's up with that? Can anyone tell me why the memorial (Not that I was going) was on such an early date this year. This is a first to me and again I have experience for 40 years.
Anyway, these two sisters never regognized me. And they were friends!!! They had come by with the invite to the talk they always have after the memorial (ABOUT ARMEGEDDON)
So they asked me if I knew who the ruler of this world was and I said Satan. They said "ANYDAY NOW", It was not the day to argue with them so I took literature, looked it over and said "Oh, yeah, all the preachers on TV are saying that, but not till 2012 or 2018. Can't they see that sooooo much has to happen first???? Of course they are not allowed to view anything "Apostate" so they are still in they're little cult world and nothing has changed. One day, I will get out the 4 pages I typed with rebuttals and questions that they will never be able to answer. LOVE TO ALL

December 25th for Christmas from Paganism?
by cabasilas ini know i've heard this a lot...that the december 25th date for christmas was borrowed from paganism.
i just came across this article which argues against that:.
http://touchstonemag.com/archives/article.php?id=16-10-012-v. personally, i have no problems with the idea that it could have been borrowed from paganism, but found this alternative explanation intriguing..
