The Elephant in the Room
by skeeter1 inwith a name like skeeter, i have plenty of relatives that could be on a day-time paternity talk show.
i talked with some this week.
their lack of want to improve their situation drives me nuts.. 18 years ago, relative betty gets pregnant as a teenager, had a baby (we'll call her mary), very quickly abandoned mary to grandma, came back pregnant with another child 5 years later, grandma pays alot of betty's & mary's bills, grandma used to say that betty was jealous of mary (mary is pretty, thin, and can do well in school.

business as usual in my kingdom hall
by nowwhat? inwe have a very dedicated, sincere, humble, older elder body in our hall.
along with a pretty zealous group of publishers.
[even though no one has come out of our territory in 35 years] it seems i am the only one aware of the pattern of false prophecies and mistakes by the society.

Should Jehovah's Witnesses be added to the Wikipedia article on Doomsday Cults?
by jwfacts inthere is discussion of doomsday cults at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/doomsday_cult, and much of it aligns closely with watchtower predictions and behaviour, so i was wondering why jehovah's witnesses are not mentioned.
here are some quotes from the article:.
doomsday cult is an expression used to describe groups who believe in apocalypticism and millenarianism, and can refer both to groups that prophesy catastrophe and destruction, and to those that attempt to bring it about.

College On The Cheap! Have You Thought Of Attending College? You Can Very Cheaply!
by ÁrbolesdeArabia inlots of friends and jws are dealing with depression, some are sad they never went to college and wonder what it's like to get a degree.
