when you see other witnesses hold your head high and smile as if you are in the best mood of your life.

best anti-witness you can give..... this is what i do even when i am down.

i give them the biggest smile and put a little extra something in my step to say life is grand out here, can't you see?.

Bizarre comment about jw.org at SAD

recently attended a sad.. bethel speaker was gushing about the wt's embrace of new technology, in the part of his talk warning about "apostate" web sites.. a loose summary of his comments:.

"and the brothers at headquarters have made it very safe for you to go to our website.

in fact, the brothers talked to the folks at google, and they made a special arrangement so that when you type in 'j w period' into the google search engine, it automatically shows you the jw.org website.

typically i check this site on my smart phone and cannot post one single letter, but i really enjoy reading your thoughts and experiences especially those that involve anti-witnessing or when jdubs come to your door, so keep them coming.. .

lately, i have been serving as a duly elected public official in my home county in fl, and attempting to make up for lost time getting my college education.

i am 3 years in, only have one year left, and i will officially be a registered nurse.

Understand: Our salvation is not Jesus' primary concern
by pixel in

2. bible
...at least that's what the sunday study said:.

"at the same time, we need to understand that our salvation is not jesus' primary concern.

his main purpose from the beginning to the end of his earthly ministry was to work for the sanctification and glory of his father's name".

the jws stopped by my house a couple weeks ago on a saturday morning.

i knew that with others most likely waiting for them out in the car they probably did not then have much time to engage in any serious conversation.

so i let them talk while i feigned interest in what they had to say.
