Strangers in my personal space!
by SB inhas anyone noticed how elders rarely take the time to get to know you, but then they think you should be comfortable sitting in a room w/three of them, revealing all the "dirty" things you did, which makes you in need of repentance and forgiveness?
it's perverted, really.
i've never gone through this, nor will i. these people teach that jesus is the mediator to jehovah, yet they readily take that place when it comes to collecting details.

No Need to Donate to Eastern Europe any more!!!!!!
by Gill init was announced last night, by letter from the london bethel that there is no longer a need to donate to congregations in eastern europe as they are no longer poor!!!!
i was told this by my parents.
they wanted to make the point that the borg is not a money grabbing organization and are no longer demanding money for eastern europe.. they failed to understand that the borg did not say 'stop contributing' per se.

Could anyone tell me how exactly Jehovah chose the WT society in 1919?
by Qcmbr inthis teaching is so unique and singular to the jws and fascinates me greatly but i have yet to get any jw answer how this choosing actually happened and instead i'm left with the same feeling of confusion that i get when i ask how someone would know they were anointed.
how did this process of selecting a correct church occur, how did they know it would happen in 1919 if they weren't pre-selected already, how did they know it was going to happen (bit rough on all the other churches who clearly didn't get a chance to spruce themselves up for 1919) and once the votes were cast and jehovah made up his mind how did he inform the contestants of the results?
do the jws claim any kind of divine affirmation of their selection at all?

Out of the blue
by uriah ini was thinking the other day about a problem and you know how one thought leads to another and you go off at a tangent and arrive somewhere totally unrelated to what you where thinking about.
well i arrived at a time when i was walking home from work.
i pass by (thankfully) a cemetary and i was looking at all the graves thinking (at the time i was a good dubby but not very active by-the-by)about the ressurection and how i hoped not to die and all the usual programmed stuff when out of the blue a thought, as though injected by some other-worldy means entered my head and said, clear as a bell "what if it's not true".
