Wisdom, you are so correct. It IS weird that the gb/wts teaches people to WAIT on materialism and WAIT on normal sexual relations...and then say it's okay later, but only when we tell you it's okay.
Cheezuswhiz. They are some kind of crazy.

A thought about the convention: Anticipate Future Blessings...
by wisdomfrombelow inone of the parts had a skit with 3 or 4 young brothers playing a game of "what i will look forward to in the new system".
one wanted a house by the beach.
one wanted a house in the forest.

NLP, Subliminal Messages and the WT Writing Department
by 00DAD ina few years ago i became interested in the subject of neuro-linguistic programming (nlp).
while the core concepts of nlp have been largely discredited as new-age pseudo-science, there is no doubt that there is at least some validity to the idea.
words and images remain the key way we communicate.

I don't think it would make much difference as I don't socialize with any jdubs anyway. I used to be "scared" of it but the more I've come to realize that it's NOT REAL IN JW LAND, the less I care.
My important family that is still in will continue to associate with me. My family that is out will most likely remain out, and continue to associate with me. My other jw "family" that I never see anyway will probably shun me, but then....I won't notice.
So, in summation...nope. It's no more important than losing a game of Twister, and I think Twister might hurt more.

Interesting experience at work re: convention invite
by sd-7 inso, a guy i know and would sometimes chat with briefly at work came to me recently.
he said he'd been invited by his neighbor to attend the upcoming jw convention.
apparently, he had heard that i used to be a jw and wanted to get my thoughts about whether he should go.

Good news indeed! Hopefully your inquisitive co-worker will share the info with others and explain to them how the jws are in a cult run by the gb.
Limiting their growth has tons of potential, for sure.
Happy day!

Central Counsel, I believe. The google translation of the opening paragraph uses the term "main board" in parentheses behind the gb term.

Why are 'most' of the people fighting in the Middle East MEN???
by NAVYTOWN init seems that in every war or revolution, 'most' of the participants are men and young boys.
aside from the occasional female suicide bomber.
does this have something to do with their religion and/ or cultural traditions?

Women, by nature, tend to nurture rather than kill.
The closest most of us come to violence is an occasional road rage incident of flipping off someone who shouldn't even have a license.
If women ran the world, we'd destroy all the weapons and force people to sit down together and talk it out. Seriously.

Crazy things JW inlaws said
by Bye bye birdie inhere is one... my mil told me according to a co talk that she heard jehovah could strike you dead when he is executing judgement based on the clothing you are wearing.
she was mad at the moment of skirts that were above the knee on me and her friend.. i said to her two things:.
1) i hope i am not in the tub during this predicament.. 2) i thought jehovah read hearts?.

Steve2, don't you know that all these parties are acceptable in the sight of the gb-god BECAUSE they are not held on "church" grounds. Those wicked, evil baptists have the nerve to build (gasp) picnic tables on their properties for Sunday meals!!! Can you believe it??? jdubs are much better than that, they force each other to host their stoopid "gatherings" (and don't dare call them parties!).
