  Busted

  my incredibly sweet and intelligent girlfriend busted me on this site.

  i have talked to her about most of my issues with the wbts and told her about the site, but due to the very strong similarity between my conversations and my posts, she has cracked open the case like the little detective she is.

  i started telling her about a post i had put up tpday and how after quite a few months i have decided that religion is a piece of art and you cant argue over it, anyway half way through telling her she actually stopped me and said she had already read it along with all of my other posts.

  My incredibly sweet and intelligent girlfriend busted me on this site.
  
  I have talked to her about most of my issues with the WBTS and told her about the site, but due to the very strong similarity between my conversations and my posts, she has cracked open the case like the little detective she is.
  
  I started telling her about a post I had put up tpday and how after quite a few months I have decided that religion is a piece of art and you cant argue over it, anyway half way through telling her she actually stopped me and said she had already read it along with all of my other posts.
  
  And as a result I had a very entertaining bookstudy.
  
  Firstly, in a post ages ago, the thread asked for "JW buzz words you hope you will never hear again, I wrote: WE COME TOGETHER AS A GROUP OF YOUR PEOPLE..........(PRAYER)
  
  In the opening prayer....yep you guessed it, the Bro said that word for word!!! She gripped my hand tighter and started laughing.....I realized straight away she had seen that post.
  
  Then I was asked to read and she wrote on a piece of paper .......I dont mind as long as you dont role your eyes.....at the "R&F" and we were trying not to laugh through the first paragraph.
  
  That is such a JWD term!!!
  
  Anyway, all is good, she has seen me go through all sorts of thoughts and I have driven her mad with ideas and scandals and she takes it all very well.
  
  Im at a point now where I feel this site has given me a map but not and answers, I have looked at things from both points of view and will continue to do so however my time here is done.
  
  My post from earlier today summed it up, we have no proof that God exists, whether or not blood is allowable or not, whether the bible is accurate or even real, whether 1914 is accurate or anything, its all faith based.
  
  There are some sweet people here, some very clever people and some funny buggers that like to cause trouble and I wish you all the best.
  
  See you all in the new system!!!! ;-)

  I am slowly coming to the conclusion that any debate on the scriptures is a waste of time.
  
  Its like this, we all find a piece of furniture from IKEA and its all put together wrong.
  
  The instructions were impossible to read in the first place, but they were lost, then found in a wall, then lost again, then translated from a mysterious language, then argued over, people killed and were killed over, then we ll stand around with 45 different versions of how to put the furniture together correctly and wonder why we argue ( putting IKEA furniture together is a recipe for divorce at the best of times)
  
  I say wait for the designer of the furniture to come back and sort it out, until then just say its a piece of art.

  Key Findings – The Symantec Identity Survey
  - Australians typically have more than 10 online profiles or ‘virtual identities’
  - 20 percent of Australians believe that their online identities are closer to their ‘true self’, than their real-world identity (amongst Australian online ‘power users’ of social networking sites, dating sites, virtual worlds or gaming sites, this figure jumps to 40 percent)
  - 77 percent of Australians believe that people share more information about themselves online, than they do in the real world
  - The majority of Australians provide personal information in the public online domain that could put them at risk of online identity theft
  - The survey found that nine out of 10 Australians aged between 16 and 49 are Internet users

  Loved your comment Dagney, so true.
  
  They collect from the silenced to fight the silencers, just so they can convert more people to silence.
  
  Can someone represent that mathematically for me?

  In the last 58 years we have seen birthdays go, Jesus and Jehovahs separated co-eternal, blood transfusions banned, JC's set up in current for , BOE's reorganized, titles change, GB set up, FDS no longer President of WTBTS, Generation change twice, Organ transplants allowed, fractions allowed, voting "allowed", 75 is gone , 2000 was a fizzer.........who wants to add to this list?
  
  Point being, major changes are part of this org, why are we so surprised to hear more are coming?
  
  To the previous poster, if you have been in the truth 35 years, youve seen major changes havent you? How do you feel about that?

  HLC talks to cease

  by dozy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it has long been the practise for hlc members to give occasional (usually annually) public & special talks and local needs items on blood & related issues at meetings.

  these were often quite well organised with powerpoint presentations , handouts and open q & a session.. as of jan 2008 , the wts has written to all hlc members telling them that they can no longer do this & has written to bodies of elders telling them that they can no longer invite brothers to give talks , especially concerning the "advance medical directive document".. a hlc friend tells me that the wts apparently are further wanting to distance themselves from possible legal action and are also concerned that some hlc members are putting their own slant on the wts "conscience matters"..
