a girl that would use a bethel application to rate the guys she dated
My goodness,,,that is really a messed up girl.
i'm so tired of hearing people setting goals for themselves.
i know people who are in there early twenties with the goal of being a c.o.
do people just wake up one day and say "i think ill become a c.o" well i know some girls that want to marry a c.o.

things i thought about during the memorial talk last night:.
i don't know if it was just the memorial i went to or if this was across the board, but it seems that the talk was dumbed down a bit more than it had been in the past.
not that it wouldn't surprise me if was dumbed down.
" A bit of douchebaggery wrapped up in self-righteousness."
was their entrance to the hall something like this ?
i was walking into the mall with my husband and this black car drives by the guy driving is waving like crazy at us.
i did not recognize the car until he had driven by then it downed on me it was the co. i am totally baffled as to why he was trying to be so friendly.. if any of you know my story it is that we had three child molesters in my hall.
the co before him told me that i just needed to get a handle on my feelings about these men who had raped children in the past and being that my husband who was an elder and i would have to go out in field service with them etc i just needed to buck it up.
Then we got this new CO and the one child molester shoved my husband in the hall before field service one day and the elders who loved all the pedophiles very much deleted my husband as an elder.
Wow, personally I think you should get away from this religion completely asap.
how do jw's deal with the fact that if you fry up a hamburger, there's some blood in it?
do they eat it anyway?.
the stores also sometimes spray a type of red food coloring on the meat to make it look better.
i live in a gated mobile home park in california where no one is allowed to solicit door to door and today.
i received a full page,handwritten invitation to the memorial, with the official tract printed by the watchtower.. it's a great way to get many hours of service just by staying in the comfort of your home but i'm wondering who's paying for postage, .
.44cents per household...that could get pretty expensive since just in our park alone there are close to 700 homes!!!.
I suppose you could get "less productive" and only knock out 10 letters an hour.
Then you could take four of them, go to the post office ( still counting time), and break the ten letters down over two weeks.
And still get service time for driving to the PO !
i've been trying for some time to find the motiviation i needed to completely leave the cult behind.
i'm mean, do it emotionally as well as mentally (whole-souled, right?
), despite still having a lot of family and friends that are cult members.
I skimmed it over, and this comment about three bad influences really stuck out for me. Isn't it funny how they mention "unrealities" as a bad thing?
I consider waiting for the world to end as the wts states as one of the biggest unrealities that I have ever heard of !
Sorry about the formatting, I cannot change it on my end :

Are we not blessed to have Jehovah as
our Friend and Guide on life’s journey? If
we continue to heed his loving warnings
against three bad influences—the crowd,
our own hearts, and unrealities—we will be
much more likely to reach our destination
this morning on the radio a member of the communist organization of the usa was being interviewed , and as a tie in to commercials the station was using.
a song that sounded very familiar/.
it was bothering me for several hours until i thought that an old song sung at the kh was very familiar.. it went something like " our god jehovah, almighty in battle" (that's all i remember).. what do you think ?

we've all known those fanatical witnesses who are guilty of pdf (public display of faith) and always have to make a big song and dance to the whole world and let everyone and their dog know they're a faithful witness of jay hoover!.
1) when my mother first came in 'da troooof' this wacky, over zealous 'sister' was studying with her - you know the type.
this woman was one of those not so subtle individuals who would always talk loud in conversation and say the name jehovah a million times even when the conversation could have been about basketball.
Mine happened when I was about 10. I was walking into a department store with my dad and brother(who was only about a year older than me). A woman was handing out brochures for some local election. Instead of simply saying "no" and walking away, my dad felt compelled to explain his reason. He turned to the woman and said, "my king is Jesus Christ in heaven."
I'll never forget the look of consternation on her face. My brother and I still joke about it to this day.
Wow, I had a story very simular to this. I was out in service and while at a door the householder mentioned to my partner not to forget to vote next Tuesday.
He looked at the householder and in the most straight, self-rightous tone he said :
My man jesus christ is already elected and is in his position right now,, I wished that the earth would have swallowed me up right then I was soooo embarassed.
i have an old friend from jw's that has been trying to track me down.
she finally found me today.
of course to invite me to memorial.
Just be there for her, that one action will speak louder than words.
Reminds me of a statement that I recently heard,
"Preach the Gospel at all times and when necessary use words."
Francis of Assisi

While they stayed on target, these were unbeilivable stories !
