I had three girlfrieds...in 3 different congregations! :-)
At least I didn't visit a gay bar :-P
i was just thinking about how humans being imperfect and satan's influence was the root of everything bad that anyone has ever done.
well i know that apparently everyone is vulnerable which got me thinking about what "bad" things people have done while they were a jw.
i'll start it off.

from house to house preaching a dead message, to a life of continual partying.. http://www.smh.com.au/tv/movies/trishy-dishy-5000061.html.
about this episodeseven years ago, trish may have banged on your front door with a bible and an innocent smile - then life changed.
struggling with her faith, she abandoned the jehovah's witnesses after a breast cancer op and made a huge, life changing decision to embrace the fast lane and transform herself into australia's reigning party queen.
OK, it's not possible to see this video clip in my country.
But yes, she is in to something important, probably she has understood it way better that we have. Since there is no God, the most important things in life is party....you know, sex and drugs and rock and roll.
I myself have had difficulties to adapting to that lifestyle, but I am in fact improving.... :-)
But yes, partying is hell more important than philosophy and keeping up to date with watchtower dogma.
ok. i don't believe that the watchtower(r) armageddon(tm) is anything but fantasy.. i do recall speculation about how the 'anointed(tm)' might all be dead before the big 'a' or that some will survive through it and help the r&f.
i heard brothers speculating that after the big 'a' the 'anointed(tm)' would be spirited away to heaven.. i wonder what they think will happen to the gb on, before or after the big 'a' now?.
Maybe they will rule from San Diego and Beth Sarim...the house was built for those resurrected princes

This is a speculation, but is it possible that after publishing this the society will put some non-annointed into higher positions in the org? I don't think we will see non annointedin the GB, but in powerful positions closely related to the GB. Some that are selected to guide the organisation during the big A.

Obey the Service departement after the "Rapture".
KAte, even JW apologists are human beings and want to communcate. They are not always loyal to the GB!
That's why it's effective being riendly and nice towards JW's at this board; it breaks their cognitive dissonance and the prjudice against "apostates".
didn't see any other threads, apologies if one already exists.
apparently died of a massive stroke this morning.. r_o.
(completely unconfirmed.
My bad! It was Geoffrey Jackso on the photo with that young sister!
i note that they're making reference to this in the upcoming convention programme.
someone has has dropped a bollock here, have they not?.
i mean, if i were a jw, i'd be sitting thinking of all the promises made and broken.
They are rebranding 1914. It will now mark the beginning of Christ ruling in heaven.
Hmm, I think you are on to something important, Kneehigh. Didn't he start ruling in 1918 according to earlier theology? The invisible return was supposed to be in 1914, but not the ruling.
just listing all of the key talks from friday thru sunday, the program is up on jw org too.
friday.
"10:20 symposium: appreciating the thrones of divine rulership".
Ha ha. it's nice to have him here. That little one-liner tells a lot
OK, he's got cold feet, but du you really think he think's they are so humble. But maybe it's humble to be Gods own self-proclaimed spokesmen?
Maybe it's humbleto demand of people to always obey?
I'm sure our panther knows better that that,.......but the AA (Armageddon Anxiety) can be overwhelming...and feet can be cold.
Play some ice-hockey and enjoy life, Panter....
i've been pondering......with this new "push" to direct individuals to thw jw.org website, even when the dubs are out preaching...what do you think the future will be for the preaching work?.
some time ago i read that the mormons have implemented a live chat feature that allows you to speak with their missionaries....i doubt the borg would do this, but i think they have something up their sleeves.. peace.
kool jo.
I wonder if there is anyone interested in the JW's that not will use Google to get som more facts than from the JW.org webpage? An experienced internet user is not that naive.
