Studying harder than ever
by JimmyPage inwhen i was growing up in the cult of the borg i studied hard and made "spiritual progress" quickly.
but after finding the reality of the society's promises unfulfilling i stopped studying and was rather proud of what the wt called "the permafrost of the brain".
in the past year i have studied my religious upbringing harder than ever, but in a completely different way.

I thought meeting in small groups was a protection when persecution comes
by JimmyPage inso they're doing away with the book study?
i thought that was the safe haven when the authorities finally banned the meetings at the kingdom hall and persecuted us (according to jw prophecy), meeting in small groups at people's homes.
any thoughts?.

The generation change- why now?
by JimmyPage ini understand why the change in understanding of a generation was made in '95.
it was because the time was basically up for the generation of 1914. but why do you think the latest change has been made at this particular time?
and how does it tie in to the new light about 1935 that was revealed this past year?

Weird weather and the end
by JimmyPage ini was out in field circus on saturday and the elder i was working with kept mentioning the weird weather patterns the world has been seeing.
now i know there is nothing in bible prophecy about weird weather being a sign of the end.
but if i were making a movie about the end of the world i would probably ramp up to the apocalypse with hurricanes, tornadoes, hailstorms, etc.

Not that there's anything wrong with it
by JimmyPage inover the years there have been brothers in the congregation that you just knew had to be gay but everybody just accepted them.
some even got to be servants or elders.
