  Posting Here: secretly or openly?

  by AllAlongTheWatchtower in

  1. social
  2. family

  just curious, how many of you have to hide the fact that you post here from family?

  i'm especially thinking of those with spouses who are in, while they themselves either never were, faded, dfed/daed, etc but if you are a child hiding it from parents, that applies too.

  if you are posting secretly, how secretive do you have to be?

  Comments You Will Not Hear at the 6-17-07 WT Study (DO NOT PUT APART)

  by blondie in

  do not put apart what god has yoked together.

  therefore, what god has yoked together let no man put apart.

  (b) why do the principles found in god's word really work, even when problems arise in a marriage?.

  DID YOU DEDICATE YOURSELF BEFORE BAPTISM OR DID YOU LIE?

  by free2think in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was just wondering when you where going through the questions for baptism did you know you had to dedicate yourself to jehovah before hand or did you lie?.

  i didn't know i had to so when i went through the questions i had to lie and say i had.

  i always felt bad about it afterwards and quickly did a little prayer that night.

  FOR THOSE UNFORTUNATE ENOUGH TO BE GOING TO THE ASSEMBLY, HERE'S SOME TIPS:

  by Mary in

  yes, there are several of us that either have to go to the crap-assed assembly this year, or simply because we plan on taking notes and posting them here.

  knowing how bloody boring the entire thing is, i've made some tips up on how you can keep awake during the 2007 borefest:are you really going to the assembly this year?

  are you ready to fall asleep by 10:05am when the opening song and prayer are over?

  Happy New Year! 80 million more "wicked" ones added to the bird food pile.

  by Open mind in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  what is the net effect of every year that our loving god jehovah, who is patient and desires "none to be destroyed", holds back the winds of destruction?

  it ultimately results in roughly 80 million more humans to be added to the pile of post-armageddon bird food.

  i've read this concept several times before on jwd but decided to do a little googling to get the 80 million number.

  convention etiquette

  by karvel in

  2. beliefs

  first post, not sure if this is in the right section....anyway, last night's service meeting included a part about the upcoming district convention.

  the usual take notes, make sure your teenagers sit with you, blah,blah, blah, was there but then they mentioned something new.

  apparently now you have to wear your suit and lapel all weekend if you stay at a hotel.

  Earthquakes (again!)

  by dozy in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  it still annoys me that the wts have never withdrawn their quote about the increased frequency of earthquakes (and this quote was used by several speakers in the recent special talk , unaware that the wts has changed its position on this) , so i emailed the national geophysical data center in colorado and the national earthquake information center in golden, colorado to get their comments.. my email & replies:.

  dear sir / madam,.

  the watchtower society of pennsylvania (the corporate arm of jehovah's witnesses) have for over twenty years been using the following quote to support their belief that earthquakes have increased since 1914 in fulfillment of bible prophecy.
