Apathy carts in NoCal
by kaik ini spent couple wonderful days in napa valley and sonoma with visits to san francisco.

they were at powell station, embarcadero, fisherman wharf, etc.

they keep moving the apathy carts in my town after probable repeated warnings from the railway management and the management of the small shopping precinct to move , they are situated across the road now exposed to the elements the small shopping precinct was partly undercover, no doubt they never asked permission to be on the land of the shopping precinct or the railway and were rightfully moved. -

Banned from the second school!
by purrpurr ini've been told by a jw friend that when her hall recently had a refurb that big changes were made to the second school.. one, a large sign has been placed on the door telling people not to use it and to sit in the main hall itself.. two,that all the chairs which used to face the large windows looking into the main hall are now side on to the window facing the wall instead.. this is because "so many people were sitting out in there!
people were finding all manner of exhuses to sit-in there and the brothers want us to all be together in the main hall!
" she said.. of course i didn't tell her what i really thought of this but seriously?

I used to purposely sit there towards the end and face the library so I could pick a particular old book to read and select the amount of false prophecies in it, it was about the time I was marked and my raised hand ignored -

Memorial Audience Filled with Unbelieving Mates and Other Miserable Relatives
by xjwsrock ini looked around my hall and saw so many miserable unbelieving mates and relatives it was actually funny.
they were in a glazed-over stupor.
they looked liked children forced to go to an opera.

thats how I always remembered it, the men pulling on an ill fitting suit that gets worn once every ten years! having to be on their best behaviour, the misfits of studies/RV's and interested people who look like a fish out of water! -

Prophecy vs. Profits ...See
by Perry inwhile we had our eyes fixated on our "one-time" idol the watchtower and their false prophecies like the generation of 1914 that wouldn't pass away, 1975 etc.
; a number of real prophecies were unfolding.
we just weren't taught to look for them.

there is no prophecies unfolding, if its written after an even its not a prophecy.If you are going to repeat the same nonsense about the Jews returning to Israel can you answer like you have previously refused to numerous times why is it that over 60% of the worlds Jews live outside Israel. and show no sighs of returning -

I can't take it anymore!
by BlackWolf inmy dad was recently made an elder about maybe 6 months ago, and now he is never around he's always at work or doing some kind of jw crap.
now he conducts the watchtower study and is even doing the special talk tommorow.
he's become an even more strict controlling jerk than he was before, and i'm never allowed to go out and do anything non jw related because he doesn't have the time.

sounds like my old man (RIP),moody, stressed,foul tempered,inundated with jw crap like you say,obsessed with being a good example, unfortunately he stayed an elder until he died in good standing in 2005, I believe through all those years he was undiagnosed bipolar, the only hope is that the workload takes it toll and one day he throws the towel in, this stupid pointless position brings out the very worst in people,it makes them neglectful,pig headed,proud,pedantic,arrogant, basically into pigs of men, sorry cant be of much more encouragement -

Just because the JW'S are wrong doesnt mean theres no god.
by atomant inl;ve been giving this some serious consideration lately.l dont have all the answers no one does.we are all entitled to our opinions.l certainly dont believe in evolution as lve researched that subject extensively.lt's important to believe in something even if its for mental health.l believe everything happens for a reason.l also believe if we all live as close to the 10 commandments as possible this world would be a far better place to live and no one can argue with that.

believing in a malevolent deity from the bible , the moral monster to coin a phrase can and is very detrimental to good mental health the exact opposite, my advice is to forget about these fairly stories and move on in life, take up a hobby, far more satisfying -
