  I call that coercion. You can always coerce someone and many times the strategy works. But that does not make it right.

  i took a quick trip to the store and i happened to see a young man (about 26-28 years old) who got baptized about the same time i was leaving- about 2 years ago.

  a couple of pioneer sisters found him in the door to door work.

  one of them, a very attractive girl.

  Good question, what about Michael Jackson?

  John Aquila, are you suggesting that Michael Jackson will be resurrected?

  "and one girl even got her legs lengthen 5 inches making her about five feet nine inches tall"

  Wow, I never heard of that. Why on earth would someone want to do that? So, how tall will she be in the new order? And do nose jobs go back to their original form?

  at our meeting last night there was a talk about having run out of magazines for the last three months.

  it's expected this will continue to happen.

  the "branch" has not sent the requested number of magazines.

  I think this elder needs to go back to 3rd grade and learn his times tables.

  Perhaps multiplication could be a topic for local needs talk.

  $17.00 seems like a high price point. In addition, why is there no Kindle version? I see a lot of exJW books out there, and have often wondered if the writers make enough money to justify the effort.

  I live in midtown Manhattan so the probability of seeing a d2d witness is slim to none. When I see the carts I feel sad and angry.

  Are You "Technically" Still A Jehovah's Witness?

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  even if you don't regard yourself as a practicing jw, some may view you simply as inactive, a lost sheep, etc.. if you were baptized but not disfellowshipped or disassociated, you may still be a jw---right?

  your thoughts please..

  As far as I know I was never disfellowshipped. So, I guess that if I entered a KH I would be welcomed - however there is the issue of my beard and no necktie. So, I doubt I will be asked to say the opening prayer.

  Yup. Guilty as charged.

  So, what happens at the end of a Snipe hunt? In my experience, everyone laughs and points to you as being such a fool.

  My goal is to get the last laugh. Remember that living a successful life is the greatest revenge.
