Do you know of any JWs that cancelled their wedding at the very last minute?
by asilentone ini do know one jw guy that was not spiritually strong and his fiance dumped him few days before the wedding that was supposed to take place at the kingdom hall in the early 1990's because he was not serious enough in the "truth", now that guy has 3 bible studies and he is in good standing in the congregation and he is now married to another sister.
i saw his profile at facebook not long ago.

Remain Close to the Governing Body DC
by gutted ini just finished all 3 days of the dc and, for what it's worth, wanted to get down some of the highlights i enjoyed.
i went with family and i only did it for them, and hope to never attend another assembly ever again.. .
the whole thing was pretty boring and uncomfortable due to the stadium style seating which doesn't favour my long legs and ac being blasted too high.. .

by gubberningbody ini started that here before the borg got on the bandwagon.. i remember calling convenience stores on the phone at 4am from this brother's house when it was raining out and none of us felt like doing anything..

Putting the "mutations cannot increase information"-argument in the grave once and for all.
by bohm ina while back i did the topic: http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/192117/1/putting-the-probability-argument-against-abiogenesis-in-the-grave-once-and-for-all on the probability argument, and today im going to give its retarded twin brother, namely the "no-information" argument, a similar treatment.. let me begin by an example of the argument in one of its forms:.
we do observe tremendous variety today within different types of animals, but this is not evolution.
it is just the shuffling of existing genetic information.

I know no one wants to die, but is it possible that wanting to live forever when nothing does is a bit greedy?
by gubberningbody in...not to mention unreasonable?.
i remember telling my mom when i was about 7 that i didn't want to die (it seemed to me that time was speeding down the track and i was fast headed for the grave) and she said..."don't worry, that won't happen for a long time.".
her response was honest, but i found that honesty unnerving.. i felt as if she'd just said to me--- "yes dear son, you are sitting on a powder keg, and yes the fuse is lit, but enjoy your ice cream cone.

I think I'm at the point where I really don't give a rats ass about the WTBS
by gubberningbody ini do like the people who were hopeful enough to get sucked in and honest enough to leave, and to me these are the ones i feel are my "brothers" and "sisters".. .
now i'm at the point in my life where i really just need to make money and try to enjoy what time i've got left.
that doesn't mean i've abandoned the search for the meaning of life, but it does mean that, like king david did in his intelligent pragmatism, realize that running around and hiding in caves from saul just wasn't getting it done and he needed to work, so he got a job as a mercenary working for the philistines.. .

Still Feeling Lost...What to Do Next?
by daringhart13 ini'm wondering how many of you still feeling a burning need to know god and have a relationship with him.. i am dealing with the horrible emotions of having faded, done some things that would be considered immoral, stopped praying (not sure i ever prayed right) and generally just feeling lost...... what have some of you done to get back on track?
i've been fading for a year and a half.
missing my first dc..... ugh.....having a crappy morning i guess...... just feel like i want to talk to god, but can't.. ironic, huh?
