Excuses, Excuses, Excuses.......................About Jehovah
by Crisis of Conscience ini've had some people in the congregation lately try to give me pep talks to encourage me not to give up.. when i mention (not to everyone of course) some of the things that bother me about the org, many times they can't come up with a legitimate answer so they make up an excuse.. for example, i mention the double standards that i saw at bethel as well as the lack of love in certain brothers.
i get a blank stare and then an, "oh, that's because jehovah allows imperfect in the org.
but he'll clear things up when it's time.".

current JW tagged in pictures in Xmas and Birthday parties on FB
by James_Slash inhad to laugh when i saw this.. a current jw who i know on fb was tagged in photos showing him at a christmas party a few days ago.
within minutes of them landing he removed the tags because obviously these would have been seen by other jw's on his page.. when i asked him why he'd removed them he said: "i was off work sick and i didn't want my colleagues seeing me on the razzle".
lol.
