Why the end is sooo close! Latest illogical JW logic
by Quandary inan elder mentioned yesterday in casual conversation how the end must be close 'because this is the first time in human history that a black man will probably be president of the us.
all other forms of government have had their day, now that a black man will be president, the angels, mankind and satan cannot claim that jehovah didn't give every possible chance for humans to make it without his rulership'.
almost verbatim!

Misleading advice at the Hall.
by edmond dantes inwords of wisdom at the kingdom hall went something like " don't marry for looks because looks fade.
" what i want to know is if the person you married turns out to be a crabby old miserable so and so how do you cope with ugly personality plus ugly looks.i mean if you marry a looker at least you have enjoyed some vision of delight, if you get stuck with both you are in a double bind.

by Witness 007 ina brother from bethel saw i had bought myself a big screen t.v {80cm tube 1996} this was the best t.v at the time.

Have you heard or tried the Health E Cigarette...tell me what you think...
by FreedomFrog ini was browsing e-bay and came across a product called health e cigarette.... this captures my attention since i'm trying to stop smoking.
i've been trying to quit with a cigarette brand called quest and i'm on level 1 at the moment.
it still has the unhealthy carcinogens but each level brings down the nicotine and hopefully by the 3 and last stage, the person can break the habit.. with the e cigarette, it's supposed to do the same except it only has nicotine and no tar/carcinogens and other harmful stuff.

My Story - Part 2
by Jeremy C inlike many jw children, i was deeply influenced and motivated by watchtower society artwork depicting the new system of things.
i was profoundly influenced by artwork (particularly in the book: you can live forever in paradise on earth) that portrayed children petting tigers, playing with lion cubs, running through grassy fields with kites, and enjoying care-free lives.
what i now realized about myself is that for a jw to desire such things; and to go through the motions - performing organizationally-programmed activity in order to receive this reward; does not necessarily require a love for god or christ that is any deeper than other religionists.
