  Just because you're asked to read, doesn't mean you have to.

  I always thought "Its My Life" by Bon Jovi was a good exJW anthem, the verse about It's my life/its now or never/cause I ain't gonna live forever... kinda sums up how I felt after realizing the whole "paradise erf" thing was a bunch of BS.

  I'm still working on the I just wanna live while I'm alive part...

  jws today are not like the ones i knew when i was growing up.

  we used to look down upon those that didn't make all of the meetings and regularly go out in service every weekend!

  if someone was not in the theocratic ministry school----what was wrong with them???

  The old style JWs sound like people under military discipline did they at least have any more fraternal love and solidarity? It doesn't seem to be that way.

  Actually I think they did. For one thing, they were actually allowed to have social gatherings. You have to realize that they were excited about being in a so-called worldwide brotherhood. Most of them were converts to the JW religion and were probably much more happy as a JW, than today's 2nd, 3rd, 4th generation JW who are JW mainly because their family is, and so they trudge along, obediently but abject, doing what is required of them. They don't know why, they just know that they have been told this is the best way of life, and that pursuing anything else will only lead to ruin and misery.

  Ok Bec and Jo both just checked in, they're fine.

  Bec is telling me she drove over the bridge about a half hour before the collapse, but she's fine, although she is stuck in the huge traffic mess over there.

  Apparently there were 60 kids on that school bus, amazingly they all got out, a few with some injuries, but still amazing.

  Gopher, I have IMed Jo and Becky, haven't heard back.

  Yeah I just tried calling Eyegirl, all I got was her voice mail. Hopefully she was nowhere near there. And we're supposed to be staying off the cell phones, I don't have a land line.

  Another Minneapolis poster checking in.

  Absolutely unbelievable. Still nothing on what would cause this. The construction work going on at the time was mainly resurfacing, no major repairs. It may turn out to be fortunate, that because of the repair work project, the highway had only one lane open.

  Just saw an interview with a woman who was in a car on the bridge, a semi demolished her car, but she and her 3 month old baby got out without a scratch.

  Is there anyone able to covertly provide publications from KH libraries?

  by seatrout in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i recently contacted my local kh to get hold of a publication that i need (pay attention to daniel's prophecy).

  i also asked in the letter to be provided with a watchtower cd (apparently it has all the old material on it).

  however, they have not replied and i am left wondering if it is because i am a member of the general public (and they don't want me to see this material)?.

  seatrout,

  You apparently are not familiar with how the JWs operate. By writing to a congregation requesting a copy of the CD you have pretty much 'outed' yourself to them as someone they will be very leery of. They will definitely not send you a copy of the CD, and they certainly will not give you a copy of it if you show up on their doorstep. You will be very lucky to get even a copy of the "Daniel" book out of them.

  Besides, there is not that much of interest in the Daniel book. Like all their more recent publications, the material is extremely dumbed down. Doctrinal points are simply stated dogmatically, with nothing really provided to even attempt to support them.

  Anyways, there is mountains of evidence available to show just how messed up their chronology is. I get the impression from your post that you believe that most JWs are simply unaware of this, and that by clearly showing them the errors in JW doctrine, you will open their eyes. While your intentions are great, the truth is, anyone in 2007 who is still a JW, its not that they can't see, but they refuse to look.

  I got burned really bad about a month ago. Huge blisters, peeling all over my legs and feet. And I was out in the sun for maybe an hour. I finally went into urgent care, they told me it was second-degree burns, but then they wouldn't do anything for me!
