quite surprizing.

in some ways, these arch-fanatics are way more liberal than jw's!.

just what am I supposed to believe now??

while i'm glad i found this site, it has also crumbled to bits everything i've believed in my whole life.

i feel like the certainty, magic and wonder has gone out of my life.

this has left a huge hole in my soul.

There is enough wonder and magic in reality (no plagiarism intended) without the need for myths and superstition.

all my family members and friends (that include some elders) advised me to divorce my wife whose only joy was to pick up fight with me for everything i do, except my grand-mother who said: when you married her, you looked for only her good pointher regular pioneering despite having an opposing family.

for being good, you will ultimately reap something far better through her.

stick on to her.

The same applies to those who worship Allah, Satan or any other mythical creature.

I had a Tarot card reading

so, i am in washinton state visiting my son and his family and we went to a concert that had a fortune tellers booth, actually a gypsy wagon.

i decided to do something no jw would ever do, have a tarot card reading.

i wasn't really expecting anything, as i don't believe they are connected with the satan, but i don't believe they can actually read your future either.

It's amazing how good cold readers with a box a tricks cards can be.........

Question for current and former elders: did you feel qualified to give counsel for depression?
by kneehighmiah in

do you feel the counseling demands placed on elders are fair and scriptural?.

i live in an economically depressed industial city.

my dad is an elder in a lower income black congregation.

I wouldn't presume to have any skills in counselling. I am OK at listening.

My time as an elder taught me absolutely nothing.

JW.ORG TRADEMARK DENIED
by NAVYTOWN in
1. jw
2. friends
i saw on another forum that the trademark application for the 'jw.org' logo had been denied by the trademark office.

it is too similar to the logo of another company.

there is an appeals process that presumably gives the watchtower a chance to get the decision reversed.
cantleave

Trademark is still registered though
