The Art of Deflection - Proverbs 13:12
by wannabefree inanother special assembly day experience .... this is one that gets me.

it's not jehovah that i gave up on.

JW's being asked not to marry?
by life is to short inok another poster just went to the two day assembly and i just went to the one day special assembly day sunday.
at both of them it seems there was strong words against getting married.
they had on the stage a group of young men about three of them an older sister who is not that attractive but she is really nice, of course not brother would give her the time of day, and this older brother who is in his 60's and nice but very strange.. they all went on and on and on about not getting married.

Watchtower CD library for Mac?

If the Governing Body had candor ....
by wannabefree inanother newbie thought ... i believe i saw another recent post mention a similar thought ... it is about the candor of those eaking the lead of jehovah's wintesses, namely, the governing body.. i have been bothered by this for some time now.
