  Many people get married simply because they think it’s expected of them to marry by a certain age.

  Or could it also be because so many hard core JW parents will not let thier grown kids move out of the house until they are married to a spiritually stong Dub? The single dubs just want to get the hell away from their weird parents.

  expect my future spouse to . . .[ ] [ ] make me feel good about myself.

  I cannot believe they put that in print - what a stupid ass comment.

  The average 10 year old knows that you have to feel good about yourself, no one else can do that task for you.

  Corpusdei...Thank you for the great laugh. I need to remember to read your threads at home and not at the office - it is just too funny!

  Pistoff....you said it perfectly...

  Mr. Morris, you are an unqualified idiot, and you got where you are by being a total company man.

  And thank you again Cedars!

  Disturbing new YouTube video showing Anthony Morris's approach to teenage baptism

  if anyone was under the illusion that all baptized jw children become dedicated solely of their own volition, then hopefully this new video should be a wake-up call.. .

  (unfortunately, due to the soundtrack i've chosen, this video is apparently banned in germany.

  I do not know if this is sick or just plain STUPID!

  I thank my lucky stars everyday that I flew (like a bat out of hell) with my 2 daughters when the heat started on them.

  Add your favorite JW prayer cliche'

  by King Solomon in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  you know what i'm talking about: the trite, often-repeated phrases that convey the person offering the prayer has drawn a mental blank, and utters these words while their brain desperately searches for the next cliche', so they can conclude the ritual with the required tag, "in jesus' name we pray".... (is that like the postage stamp?).

  ok, i'll kick this one off, and take the most obvious:.

  "forgive us where we fall short....".

  Wasn't there a KM once that addressed what should not be said in a prayer? Like.....Give our greetings to Jesus and the angels.

  Wow such insight!! It is good to know the scientific facts behind why we are stupid, weak and ignorant. What a loving arrangement it is that we do not have to get up on stage when we have our period because our health or performance will fail.

  This shooting is so tragic for everyone, especially us here in Colorado. My daughter and nephew saw the midnight showing of this movie within a very short distance of this shooting. I am overwhelmed with grief for the parents of these kids and at the same time feeling such joy that my children, nephew and their friends escaped such a tragedy.

  Please let us give this thread the respect that it has not been given thus far.

  FOURTEEN DEAD IN DENVER SHOOTING !

  more than one gunman seems to be involved in this terrible act.

  families were attending mid-night showings of the dark knight movie.. the media should not give publicity tothe names of the perpetrators, they often crave the fame.

  give them that fame and others will crave it too.. my thoughts are with the families of all that are affected, a horrific and pointless act that will bring so much pain and sorrow.. edited to say, seems as though it was a lone gunman..

  Some of the victims are at Swedish Hospital where my brother is a doctor. Here is the email he just sent me........... We have been working closely with our partner hospital The Medical Center of Aurora, University of Colorado, Children’s Hospital, Parker and Denver Health throughout the morning to care for the 50 injured who have been spread across hospitals in the Denver Metro Area. Thank you to all of you who responded this morning to lend a hand in this horrible hour, 3 operating room and 2 PACU nurses were sent to TMCA to offer support. Here at SMC we have had 4 victims: immediately following the shooting we received 3 patients with gunshot wounds. 19-year-old male currently fair, 20-year-old male currently critical, 29-year-old female currently critical. A few hours after the event we had a fourth victim, a 19-year-old female with injuries from shrapnel; she has been treated and released. There are several family members and friends of these individuals in our Emergency Department as well as the Main OR waiting room – please show the upmost care to this delicate situation.

  Such a sad day here in Colorado. My nephew was at a midnight showing of this movie less than a mile away from the shooting. My daughter was at a midnight showing 15 miles away. This easily could have been them. This is such a good reminder that our lives are so fragile.
