  hello all - long ago i posted under sosad..... cant get back under that name so hello again.

  i though i remember in hte last couple of years that there was a change in the strict practice of not clinking glasses and toasting,,, that it was more of a conscience decision.. was i dreaming this?

  any help towards printed information on this subject is very much appreciated..

  09-2019 Monthly Broadcast

  underwhelming as usual.

  of note is the ridiculous amount of time spent encouraging the r&f to "do the math" on various chronologies.

  oh if only they would do the math from their own publications on the error of 607/1914.

  Discarding all that wonderful spiritual food at the proper time. Such a waste of nutritional nuggets.... What is the real reason behind getting rid of old publications?

  Few observations made at the RC

  by Crazyguy2 in

  once again the mention of jesus was or has been very little this truly is an old testament cult with some sprinkles of pauline writings to help them in their doctrines.

  i also noticed how mixed up the congregations are at this and probably other rcs.

  some of the local congregations are here near the rcs site but also ones almost 100 miles away as well , yet other local congregations are not scheduled at this time.

  Staring at assemblage during prayer?!? Weird! Counting cars...now that is bizarre...I would hazard a guess that parking fees maybe on the horizon...if they can find a way to get around the logistics and legalities....

  to me, breakfast can be served at any time of the day.

  a local bar in my area serves breakfast all day long.

  for 5 bucks you get 2 eggs any way you like, bacon sausage or ham with home fries and toast!!

  And the big donation idea is just plain ludicrous. Ever hear the saying "a fool and his money are soon parted" ??

  Yikes...lot of good feedback....my thought is to come clean and honest with all concerned. It may cause family problems but once the air settles in the long run will make for a much better life for you and whoever you end up with in a long term relationship. You can't base a life on pretense...it is unhealthy and will come back to bite you eventually. If you do not feel part of the religion, cut loose. You can date anyone you choose and have whatever relationships you decide on...no religion should bind you or cause misgivings about your personal choices. Good luck!

  Good manners are not part of the JW mindset. That is just plain rude and unnecessary.
