  If You Were Still "In The Truth" What Type of Life Would You Have?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  do you think you would be just going thru the motions?

  would you be an elder, ms, or pioneer?.

  i think there are many that stay in the religion simply because of family/friends considerations.

  It is too terrible to even entertain such a thought - it's a part of my brain that I cannot go to.

  just got word that my sister died.

  she had surgery for heart valve replacement about 5 weeks ago, and when they opened her up for it they found cancer.

  we had an extra special relationship since i was her "birthday present" when she turned 10 in 1951. this is my second sibling to die of cancer in 14 months..

  So very sorry Poppers. I know the pain of losing a close sibling. As one good friend of mine that lost 2 siblings said "You will get through this, but you will never get over it."

  why isnt the Revelation book on the jw website.

  by Sojae in

  i asked my mother( still very much active).

  she said books made from '86 and before would not be online.

  so we both looked at her physical revelation book and it was made in 88 so it should be there.

  It is not on their website for the same reason drunk pictures of Rutherford are not on their website......... Sweep all the stupidity under the rug as quickly as possible.

  how many here attended the "divine victory" international assembly that was held 12- 16 december in christchurch, new zealand?.

  the venue was lancaster park.

  if the truth be known, that stadium was probably a casualty of the february 2011 earthquake?.

  So what types of people actually flourish under the JW regime?

  by Julia Orwell in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i sure as eggs know which types don't:.

  creative types: to do well at a creative industry one must dedicate a lot of time to developing one's talent, and as a jw one simply doesn't have time.

  since writing a story or painting a picture doesn't contribute in any way to prestudy, meetings or fs results it's considered useless anyway.

  People who love playing the victim. They also tend to be boring and depressing.

  Parody of Memorial Song - 7 verses just means perfection

  by sd-7 in

  1. social
  2. humour

  --my wife has this as a ringtone on her cell phone, so i can't get the darn song out of my head.

  thus, i had no choice but to lampoon it.

  in order to do so perfectly, i knew that making seven verses--rather than six, which would be handling the matter imperfectly--was not only necessary, but wise.

  This absolutely is hysterical. My daughter is visiting, we are both suffering from insomnia, so I printed this out and she played it on the piano while I sang and we laughed so hard it hurt. SD-7 you have a gift!!!!! The neighbors must think we are nuts.

  ...Knorr had a thing against anything denim

  Since my mother worshipped the watchtower presidents more than Jesus, I can now understand why in my 12 years of school (70-83) I was not allowed to wear blue jeans. I should have guessed....

  Good thing I had all those Laura Ingall's dresses (as if we weren't weird enough)
