And now we've got their attention, maybe we should tell them that we've read that the FDS is announcing Armageddon next. (Date T.B.C., though.)

I am SO proud of all us apostates!
by Robert7 inwhen i first heard the book study rumor, i figured there was a great chance it was just someone's speculation, and everyone running with it.
i told my wife, and given the huge news, i was skeptical, and really hoped it wasn't all a lie.
then i hear of people who have talked to po's, elders, and even saw a letter (which i hoped wasn't fabricated).

Ok I've made up my mind I am not going back.
Congratulations. Enjoy life.
If there is a Armageddon, Bring it on!
Please, please, please read at least chapter four of this book:
How to Read the Bible: History, Prophecy, Literature - Why Modern Readers Need to Know the Difference, and What It Means for Faith Today by Steven L. McKenzie.
It's liberating to find out what people who study the bible for a job have found out about the literature in the bible. Daniel was intended to provide hope for the Jews under oppresion from Greece, and Revelation to encourage Christians under the Roman empire. But don't take my word for it; see some of the evidence yourself.
If you have any fear of Armageddon left AT ALL, read this book. Now.
Advice over.

From my experience, when I wasn't quite so young:
Father: What's that you're playing?
Me: Deus Ex.
Father: Hmm, it doesn't look too good. Has it got shooting in it?
Me: Yes.
Father: Well you know we don't like you playing games like that. Can you not find something better to play?
Me: But you watch films with shooting in. -

Watchtower Videos/DVDs: Your Opinion
by Eyes Open ini'm from the uk and i'd be interested to get your opinions on the videos and dvds that the society has produced.
not opinions on the content as such (i think i know that already), but on the style and the quality of production.
speaking as a brit, i found them incredibly corny/cheesy when i was a witness.

Currently waiting for my family to tell me, and trying to decide how to respond. Will not let on I knew already as I don't want them thinking I'm that interested. May ask them what they think of that and mention Hebrews 10:25.
By the way, we don't call them "the friends". :) (Wow that sounds spooky.) -

Music....
by lavendar ini'm curious.......i know the wts teaches that r-rated movies are "evil" and the members shouldn't view them.
is this a df offense, if caught?
or would the "offender" just be raked over the coals?.

I guess watching "bad" movies would result in a loss of privileges.
Same for music, and there is plenty of counsel regarding it.
