  What should I do with all of these books?

  by Confession in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  while growing up, my dad maintained a rather huge wts library.

  i liked the idea of being able to pick out one of those old books from the1940s or earlier and read what they were saying back then.

  well for the first time, in september of 2006 at the age of 40, i finally became a home-owner.

  Hmm, I'm not sure what you should do. Make sure no one else reads it though, you wouldn't want anyone getting any crazy ideas in their heads!

  I also discovered a box of books and such a few years back. I took them all to the dump (instead of recycling) and took great pleasure throwing them out of my truck into the landfill...kind of wish I would have hung on to a few things at least, just for points of reference if I ever needed it. Oh well, I have all of you here should I ever need it. I must say, it felt GREAT to throw that crap away!

  sunday, may 18th was my big day.

  i decided to go to beth sarim, home of the princes and ancient worthies.

  so i loaded up the truck and rolled out, wondering what do you do when you meet someone so ancient that the roman empire was a mere twinkling in jehovah's eye.

  My Cousin Tells His Mom That Its Better That His Dad Dies Now B4 Armageddon

  my uncle who is not a jw looks pretty bad and he's in his mid 80s and in the hospital.

  my jw aunt is praying that he'll recover and see the "end" before he passes away.

  she's very broken up by his recent illness, recognizing that it might be the end for him.

  It is terrible! However, I remember thinking that very thing about certain people such as non-believing family members that I was particularily fond of. If they died before armageddon then at least they would have another chance at everlasting life. Oh please! I can't even believe I ever thought that.

  Sunday's public talk...

  by kzjw in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  went with the wife this week for the public talk (i simply will not sit through the watchtower study), the subject was about how poorly governments are taking care of thier people in disasters.

  the speaker(who had a british accent) started by saying "burma(myanmar) had 2 tsunamis and the government sent flat screen tv's as aid for the refugees..." needless to say this dillweed lost me for the next 30 minutes of his talk about how man can't care for god's people.

  i left during the study as always and returned at the end of the meeting, still burning over the glaring lie told by this "brother" which by the way no one even batted an eye in the congregation!

  What a great post kzjw! It's so great that you called this looser out on his BS, b/c that is exactly what it is!

  I am almost positive that NO ONE else approached him to ask if this was really accurate and where he got his information from. They would just take it at face value and then use it in upcoming comments, conversations, return visits etc.

  Great job, but it's dissapointing that everyone else in the room just believed him. It's not like they will be watching CNN or any other news centre for accuracy. I hope you expressed your displeasure to your wife.

  You can be Disfellowshiped for being too FAT!!!!!

  by Witness 007 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  watch 74 p.167 "by disobediently overindulging in food and making a glutton of himself, he fails to show love for jehovah god...is food a big thing in his life?

  if in the presents of others, does he selfishly ignore thier needs and take far more then his share?

  is he grossly overweight but shows no restraint at all as to food, habitually gorging himself?

  My old circus overseer was so massive he couldn't walk without huffing and puffing away. He certainly couldn't walk and talk at the same time. Always grossed me out!

  I think your response to Dave was perfect Speghetti!! That way he knows he can always approach you if he should ever find himself needing to talk.
