Meeting's..........the best Medicine!!!
by Latte indo you remember those truly wonderful occasions when the meeting was in full swing, and something/one would make you laugh uncontrollably............so much so that you had to go out.
(and yes, your were sat on the front row!
you would go out and feel terribly guilty, and when you thought you were under control, you would venture back in only to find that the air was still full of laughter (on your row)..............truly wonderful meetings!!

Whats your thoughts on sex & the WTS
by Leander inhopefully this topic won't shock anyone, i'll try to keep my comments as tasteful as possible.
just recently (last weekend) my younger brother met with the elders because he was engaged in fornication.
the elders decided to disfellowship him even though he had long stopped having any contact with the person he had been involved with.

Why so much DEFICIT?
by Aintthatcute inwhen i sit at a ca and the bro comes out and reads the financial report it is alwasy in the red (deficit).
then i ask myself: "if we own this building, the parking area, and there is no food being served; how in the world can we have a deficit?
" typically, the deficit is in the range of $5000 and $7000.

Our Great Freeness of Speech
by comment infor a non-witness, in particular, "our great freeness of speech" has to be one of the most misleading phrases in the witness lexicon.. it's often asserted from the platform that jehovah's witnesses enjoy great freedom among themselves, and scriptures like 1 timothy 3:13 are cited to corroborate this: "for the men who minister in a fine manner are acquiring for themselves a fine standing and great freeness of speech in the faith in connection with christ jesus.".
influenced by such other phrases like "conscience matter" and "personal decision," a non-witness may be led to believe: "wow, they get to make up their own minds about a lot of things!
that sure is different from all these other authoritarian religions.".

What is going ON?
by Aintthatcute infirst of all: i am new and have been lurking for about 2 weeks.
whoow!
glad i got that out of the way.. something that really bothers me is: when they say that the gb all the way down, elders, and ministerial servents are "appointed" by jehovah, and are deserving of "double honor".

Another Celebration by jWs of Death
by Tallyman in* http://www.intrex.net/talley/jw_joy09.html.
notice how very clean these jehovah's witnesses are as they laugh.
and romp away from a scene of utter devastation of life & property.... and compare their cleanliness to the appearance of those frantic.

The Hypocrisy of the Governing Body
by radar inif the rank and file members of jehovahs witnesses reject the watchtower's thinking on bible doctrine in some way, they are considered apostate.. yet the governing body of j.ws, themselves have rejected teachings of previous governing body members who have long since died and have proceeded to change interpreatation on things many times over,from russell to fred franz.
guess what they call it..........apostasy?.
no, this is called new light.. .
