From what we've experienced; love is last on the list, if at all.
Football! Yeah right! So many are hooked, they've got to be hidding it!
the new elder school, appears to be a major flop and a waste of time for the society, the more i research it.
it appears much of the information the elders learned, went in one ear out the other, a failure to implent it.
if you attended this school, have you notice these newly "fired up and full of zeal brothers eager to help?.

After a J. dub pio. couple came to my door, I throungh out everything not W.T. inspired!
JWStruggle writers last month put this thread here...
(You may need to highlight, copy and paist.)
this was taken from the watchtower 1975, august 15. paragraphs 12&13.
12 resources and abilities that we might possess should be used to advance kingdom interests, rather than letting them serve as hindrances in the race for life.
for instance, if you have an extra house, could you sell it and use the money to enter the pioneer service instead of working hard to maintain both houses?

i still feel the need to worship and the desire for faith, but having been raised as a jw and not knowing anything else, i just feel confused and lost as far as faith goes.
sometimes i think that maybe their isn't a god, i just don't know......
Dear freshstart;
Most here have gone through that. Many were lost around Stage III.
But the truth is hidden in the past. Please read about archaeology...

If religion wasn't able to interfer with peoples lives and the governments;
it might be a little bit like that Orwell novel "1984", with Big Brother.
Religions, and merchants don't hold power over the world; it's the military.
There would be fewer organizations looking over the authorities shoulders.
Suprisingly, the protest movement may it self push the system in that dirrection!

Hi leaving wt!
I've heard that same statement myself: "You're not here because you're the best we could find. You're here because you were available!" The double-speak translation goes something like this: “Just because your here, don't think that you can debate us. We'll use you since your not interested in the world.”
Right dontplaceliterature!
Any meetings that the R&F aren't invited to was a constant source of, “in your face” you “nobody’s”! It didn't matter how unimportant it was, the clique in all the halls around the area were notorious in this bashing opportunity! It would go on comment after comment, meeting after meeting! It's a true cultic technique of “religious abuse” by unchristian bullies. It was their power play, a way of saying: “We're better than you, because we'll be in paradise; and you flock we wont share all the secrets with you!”
Hey cedars!
My family went to the special assembly after 9/11, and were also wondering: “What was that all about?” Nothing! Even the last talk by a member of the GB left peoples scratching their heads! So this is very common, as many here have posted on another thread to this fact.
..is there any?
bear in mind what jesus himself said: john 15:24 new international version (niv) 24 if i had not done among them the works no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin.
as it is, they have seen, and yet they have hated both me and my father..
Proof that the Governing Body is directed by God..uh; yeah! He's bringing it down!
As for us who once served it; we were honest towads God, and were trying to serve Jesus.
Since Watchtower's GB tricked us, they stand guilty before the Christ;
and our actions are held accountable after we realize this. For the GB, it's a negitive direction;
but if we as individuals switch sides to Yehuwah, we'll receive positive directions from Him.
