Any Petrolheads Here?
by lifelong humanist inmy still-in jw wife thinks that i'm crazy to have just bought a new top-of-the-range mazda mx-5 2l roadster (miata, eunos for other countries).. i'm 58 years old.
too old for a 'fun car', i'm told!
i used to sell subaru's, so i've driven a lot of very fast, responsive 4 wheel drive cars.

The desperation of JWs hoping the end comes "soon"
by sir82 ini'm starting to sense a certain desperation among jws, that they feel that the great tribulation must start soon.
i think this is due, in many cases, to their own personal situation, financial or otherwise.. if the gt doesn't come soon, and these guys really start to suffer - what then?
the watchtower's promises that "jehovah would not forsake them if they put kingdom interests first" by skipping or dropping out of college, turning down promotions, "simplifying" their lives by selling their homes and moving to the hinterlands...will all prove to be meaningless.. if the gt doesn't come soon, and "jehovah" doesn't bail them out...then what?.
