Wow, based on 1/7 of your hand picked criteria.....Rwanda is the best country in the world. Not even the Watchtower could hand pick graphs better to prove it's personal agenda.

before the usual suspects start reaching for the pich-forks and forming a mob, i invite you to actually read and consider this, not just leap to conclusions.. http://www.globalpost.com/dispatch/news/regions/americas/united-states/130607/7-graphs-america-overrated-nsa-prism-privacy.
why do i care?
it seems the people being screwed the most are also the most visciferous defenders of the status quo which sees them being severely disadvantaged.. maternity leave?

Oh Simon.....you are so much like the Watchtower it isn't even funny anymore.
i was doing some research on the subject of beliefs and belief systems when i came across an on-line survey/test that supposedly helps you determine which religion or philosophy is most like your current beliefs.
if you're curious, you can take the quiz here: belief system selector quizafter answering the 20 questions the results were spit out!
tada!!!.
My Jehovah's Witness rating was last at 0%. (LOL)
mcmillan & wife with rock hudson is what i just saw on tv.
watching rock hudson kiss his wife while smoking a cigarette is pretty funny.
and he solved a murder case as he lit up another cigarette at some wealthy person's party.....good stuff!.
One of the greatest sitcoms of all time.
was just talking to my mom on my phone about the convention in green bay, wisconsin.
she said the brothers were talking about wanting satan dead for good!
(i was like, oh, well, yeah, i agree, in my mind i was dying laughing!).
I can think of a great SNL skit for this.
i notice reported in a number of posts that this seems to a bit of a mantra with the dubbies now, more so than ever in the past.. is this because they are getting desperate for the life they live as jw's to change ?
they don't really want to end their days with the constant drudgery of the jw life still going on, they want something different, but must "wait on jehovah".
sigh.. i wonder if this is a small opportunity for us to sow some small, niggling doubt, why not ask, when they spew out the "it is soooo close" nonsense:.
I've heard said by both Friends TM and from the stage, that the end HAS to be close because Jehovah would never allow His people to made fools of.
Jehovah must not be watching any stand up comedians.
it's some kind of funny... i was the perfect little ass, even that i never believe it all.. there was something that doesn't sound right... but, i was little, i was with my family, i never believe that my family will make me adopt a cult.
well i get batized in my mid teen years, i was the exemplar, ms at 19, even serve my time at bethel.
get married to a pioneer, start a spiritual family, get my 2 kids.
Welcome and good luck Running Away. Hopefully, you can outrun the hounders (elders) without too much hassle.
i guess i'm new here.
born in and an ms. things just hasn't been making sense the more i think about it.
i'm starting to get suspicious.
Look at the history, changed teachings, and actions of the Watchtower Society. Would a God of the universe really use this group of men in the way things have played out so far in teaching his truth to all mankind? No.....I do not think so.
what happens when jehovah's witnesses think independently?
what happened to adam when he sinned?
since when is independent thinking equivalent to disobedience?.
In JW cult world who needs thinking? Just listen, obey, and be blessed. It's that simple in a bat-shit crazy cult.
today the pope gave some impromptu teacdhing sessions and had that followed by a q & a session which got me thinking.... when was the last time a member of the governing body had a q&a session with rank and file?.
uun.
When was the last time anyone from the Governing Body had a major interview with anyone on a major network TV program? If these guys are God's Channel on earth, or Jesus's Faithful & Discreet Slave as they profess you would think they would use interviews to reach millions with what they say is the truth. We know the answer to this. They are chicken shit to let their bat-shit crazy doctrines to be questioned in an open forum. They would be exposed for the cult leaders that they are. Much easier to threaten & silence any R&F who would dare question current or past teachings.
