Praying for holy spirit
by JWinprotest insince i'm in a complaining mood, i'll just throw one more in there.. one of the brothers praying at my circuit assembly said, "jehovah may your holy spirit continue to operate on the faithful and discreet slave.".
i thought, what a stupid thing to pray for.
if these guys are already ordained by god, why would we have to pray to god to ask him to continue supplying them with holy spirit, by their standard these guys should never lose it.. alright, that's it for today.. .

Happy Anniversary!!
by JWinprotest inthis past weekend i attended the circuit assembly, and on the sunday they were interviewing a couple on the secrets to a successful marriage.
the first question asked by the speaker was, "how long have you 2 been married?
" the reply was 20 years....and 1 day.

Where does the money go?
by JWinprotest inthe other day my wife asked me this question when i was trying to tell her that the society's motive behind most decisions is money.
she too thinks the society is misguiding people but she doesn't think it's being done for financial gain like i do.. can anyone out there confirm whether members of the gb or some of the higher profile bethelites are personally benefitting from all the money that is being gathered in by the organization.
and i don't mean stuff like, they have all their needs taken care of, i mean luxuries that most jw's would not receive..

According to bookstudy, it's ok to beat wife.....occassionally
by JWinprotest ini apologize if this has been mentioned, but i don't have the time to come on here as often.
yesterday's bookstudy on divorce got my shorts in a bit of a knot.
apparently, according to the god's love book, a wife could consider legal separation from her husband if she is physically abused, but (get this) only in the case of extreme physical abuse, and if the wife's life is in danger.

A question for the faders on here
by JWinprotest inthe other day our meeting was cancelled and we didn't even get a call from the elders to advise us.
i take that as a sign that our fade is working.
the next step i would like to implement is not turning in a field service report.

What will I do with all my suits?
by JWinprotest ini just thought of something the other day as i was ironing some of my meeting shirts.
it kinda of sucks, all the money i have invested in suits, shirts and ties, that i solely use for meetings, (not required for work).
what the hell will i do with them when i leave the org once and for all?.

In your own thoughts.....
by JWinprotest indon't you just love watchtower study questions that start by saying "in your own thoughts....." or "how do you feel about....", and then they still give you the answer in the paragraph, and the audience of course always gives back the approved answer from the magazine rather than expressing their own thoughts.
this used to irk me as a kid as well..

Why do I still feel guilty?
by JWinprotest inyesterday as our family entered the parking lot of our kh, we realized it was not our congregation entering.
soon afterward we remembered that this week was our co visit and we had missed the tuesday night meeting.
i think it's the first time in over 20 years that i missed a meeting with the co. tonight is our bookstudy/co talk, i wonder if anyone will ask where we were (not likely, everyone is so over us).. it's weird though because a large part of me could care less, and we were laughing about it all the way home.

This drives me crazy
by JWinprotest ini can't stand it when they say certain things are up to your conscience and they tell the rest of the cong not to judge your brother for a decision they've made based on their conscience, and then the elders will take away your priveleages based on that same decision.
by taking away your priveleages are they not demonstrating to everyone that the decision you made is wrong?.
sorry i just needed to vent after this weeks bookstudy on blood fractions.
