  How many use their tablet and ipads at the mtg ...for internet surfing?

  so if you are still an attender, how many use their tablets or ipads during the mtg for 'non theocratic' purposes?.

  i often log on here, and post during the mtg (if no one is sitting behind me that would notice).

  Minimus is right. We should never "expect" our views to change someone else's view. It's not our right to say our view is superior to someone else's view and that they should hold our view. We can only share our experiences and knowledge.

  However, it is a wonderful thing when we are able help someone out of a cult because they responded to our views and the views of our friends on here. For me, JWFacts is what changed my mind. This board helped me to cope with those changes.

  A Saturday Knock on the Door & the JWN Forum

  this is, of course, a recurrent topic that's made possible whenever a kingdom hall decides to march out on your neighborhood and street.. today it happened again in my neighborhood as a drum up for the memorial observance scheduled for monday the 14th of april.. why christ's passion and death should be observed on a monday of holy week i failed to ask this morning.

  perhaps someone else might like to volunteer, but it seemed just another reason to be sceptical about the whole thing, though hardly ranking with changing ancient chronologies to get jerusalem's temple destruction 2520 years before 1914.. anyway two gentlemen in white shirts and ties greeted me politely enough at my door and presented me with a flyer about an event which they described as momentous.

  they asked me if i had ever intended one and i assented.

  Great job. But what is "taking instructions"? Is that a regional term for a bible study?

  CO visit

  it's the co visit in our hall this week.

  last night he gave a talk about all the changes that have taken place in the last few years, like the change in the book study arrangement and the changes in public forms of witnessing, the rise and importance of jw.org.

  he then emphasised what our reaction to these should be.

  Exactly BU2B. I'm sure I have mental/emotional problems from all this. I go back and forth from anger to regret to calling myself names for not being more proactive about getting out. Sometimes i lay there at night telling myself how f*ed up I am. Then beat myself up mentally for beating myself up mentally. Last night I woke up in a rage over nothing and just layed there at 3:00am listening to Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here" album to calm me down. Still didn't sleep good, but I calmed down.

  i know many who were witnesses hate their past, their decisions, their wasted time.. but you know what??

  at least we are out, either mentally, physically or both.. and now, we know better!.

  Good advice. Unfortunately, it's easier said than done.

  Need advice for asking a girl out

  well long story short, i've been meaning to ask this girl at school out for a while but i can never do it because her friends are always there in the way and i would prefer to ask her in person.

  we've liked each other for a while (i was oblivious until about a month or two ago) and i'm also i bit worried she'll get tired of waiting.. i was just wondering if anyone had any advice or something that they could give me.

  If all else fails, offer to show her your aquarium. I hear that's a hit with worldly girls. If you don't have an aquarium, don't worry. She'll get the idea.

  This org is making your wife ill.

  It's making all of us ill that still attend, whether we are oblivious and pushing forward or awakened and attending only for family's sake. I've never been more depressed and just overall disheartened than having to deal with knowing the truth about the WTBTS and our beliefs.

  Um, wow, no; that looked like a student film by an obsessed Japanese fan of vintage David Lynch.

  I was actually thinking of this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tentacle_erotica

  Haha. My bad. Tentacle erotica.... hmmm. The Japanese always were creative.

  You have to admit, mine was pretty weird, engrossing, and almost....just almost....weirdly erotic with the strange tentacle blood sucking penis thing at the end.

  I agree with CrazyGuy. But take it a step further.....own the situation. If you know she likes you and you like her, then you have nothing to worry about. Get her number. Call her. Don't worry about the girly giggles. If you can't handle that, you need to mature a bit. But please don't waste time avoiding her because of girly giggles. I did that too much when I was young and had a lot of regrets growing up....still do. Good luck.
