all of you people are the best, ... because you always have the right answers fast....... last week i had that run in with bro & sis pioneer...and they really beat me up, .

this week a brother called me, with a stupid tax question that i know he had the answer to.

he had not seen me since last year at the memorial...and said...."are you fatter since i seen you?".

Anyone feeling the Memorial pressure?
by atypical in
1. jw
2. friends
for those who are fading, do you feel the pressure building as the memorial approaches?

family members who otherwise are busy with their own interests suddenly start paying more attention, dropping hints and holding their breath as it were.

then there are the invitations.

Self confidence and making money.

why do some people make a lot of money but others do not?

according to carol tuttle, an alternative psychotherapist, it all boils down to one's sense of self worth and personal confidence.

Not many from 33-1919
by ajie in

2. beliefs
read a post yesterday where someone had the number of partakers in 1935 the cut off year,the number of partakers(annointed) was 52465 this dosnt leave many places for the people before the org was chosen in 1919.so the total number of places in heaven before 1935 was 91535.it seems that there cant of been many true followers in the 1902 years prior to their being chosen,in fact it works out there were only 48 annointed spaces per year.but suddenly from 1919 to 1935 a period of only 16 years we have an increase of holy ones to 3279 per year .this is so obviously rubbish,and how the hell did they no there were 91535 annointed before them,hope that all makes sense.

Tremendous changes in a short time.....

i mean if you think about it - and i might be off on the time a little - in the past 6 months we have heard of the following;elimination of the hard cover biblereducing of awake to monthly additionsdownsizing at bethel worldwideelimination of bethel elders.

there may be others that i forgot about.

but these are all very significant, and they are all happening at once, in a relative sense.those of us in the apostate circles may not realize just how the total impact might be on the flock.

any interesting threats your parents would use on you.. my mom always said, remember there's an eye watchin' you.

she would say the she bears were going to eat me.. well she was close on the last one.

The Bible - God's Word or Man's?
by SickofLies in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
i guess my basic goal here is to express to others and hopefully get more support in my efforts to tear down the two worst and most inaccurate books the society has published.

those being: life: how did it get here?

and the bible - god's word or man's?
