Would You Like WatchTower Better if They Open a Soup Kitchen or Charity Thrift Store?
by cameo-d ini see over and over so many times jws and x-jws alike complaining about wt's lack of charity work.
it almost seems to imply that wt would be an ok religion if only they opened a soup kitchen or had some charity pet project.. do you really think that a food bank would reconcile all of the sins of that organization?.
would you be more inclined to accept wt teachings if only they would do something to help "needy people"?.

"Youth book" said 97% of teenagers Masturbate...but none of them are Witnesses! Is this unrealistic?
by Witness 007 in"youth" book and "young people ask" admitts that 97% boys and 92% of girls masturbate but of course none of the holy decent witness teenagers would ever do such a thing and earn jehovahs anger!
how realistic is this?
97% of the world have t.v's or a telephone!

Watchtower cleans out Kingdom Hall Library's ...
by RR inlast night i got a call from a chap in the uk, who recently left the jw's.
he wanted to compare notes with his us counterparts.. he said that a few years ago, (i think about 2 years ago) the society cleaned out all the literature from every kingdom hall, particularly russell and rutherford books and anything prior to 1950. giving each hall a computer with the watchtower cd rom for them to use for research.
he wanted to know if the same was done in the states.

Is the Harvest Inn (Patterson NY) owned by a Witness?
by POs Son ini was looking at reviews on www.tripadvisor.com and saw that the harvest inn near patterson is highly rated (though clearly a lower end mo-tel).
one writer even commented at how nice it is to wake up to kingdom melodies in the morning there.. .
comments lead me to believe that the place is jw owned and primarily caters to visitors of the farms and bus tours of same.. .

Texas Circuit Assemblies HELP!
by 4mylove inwell, i thought i had dodged the bullet this year, but the almighty sis in law apparently called my hubby to invite him to the assemble again this year.
he'd gotten an invite earlier this summer.. i had ironically just gotten of the phone with the mom in law, just to check in and see how everyone was doing.
sounds like i was involved in a power play.

I hate District Convention time
by digderidoo ini had to pick my daughter up from my mothers yesterday after going to the district convention.
i hate having to listen to how my mother has bumped into so and so and they've been asking about me.. she bumped into some of my ex's family who stopped and chatted.
so two faced all of them.. it kind of gets my back up and i can feel anger coming up when i hear people who i used to respect asking after me, then if i were to walk past them in the street i know most of them would try to avoid me.. to top it all my mother has been dropping hints as to whether i will go with her.

Big Love!!
by 4mylove indoes anyone here watch it?
the hubby and i watch it every sunday night.
it's interesting to see the similarities between mormons and jw's.. i noticed that they too have a tie to the east coast due to their prophet.. they are also a fairly new religion, 160 years i believe.. they also recieved a "divine" message from a human prophet.. do witnesses have places like the mormons due where you can visit their founders past life?

Do JW"s prowl and area for long?
by 4mylove ini panicked on the way to work yesterday.
i left my hubby at home because we were having our roof replaced and when i was headed out of the neighborhood, there they were.
i wondered how this was going to affect him.
