  i don’t trust them..

  When the Poles first arrived here from Poland in the 1800's, I didn't believe in them. But I do now because I love Polish sausage!

  just saying!

  BTW, the polls had Hillary as president a few years back---right?

  cottage grove, minn. (ap) — a struggling minnesota church is asking its older parishioners to leave in hopes of making it more attractive to young families.. .

  grove united methodist church in the st. paul suburb of cottage grove is closing in june, with plans to relaunch in november.

  the present members, most of them over 60 years old, will be invited to worship elsewhere, the st. paul pioneer press reported.

  Half full kh's eventually take a psychological toll on those that attend and since most kh's are only half full the wt is beginning to realize it. Full halls give the false impression of growth.

  Also as Crazy says, "confidential records" can conveniently get lost as congregations merge!

  If you speak against the Governing Body you will be punished.

  this was a comment from the meeting(tm) on sunday.. the person that told me about it, is very confused about the validity of the corporation.

  somewhere between a pimo and a pimi-lite.

  the thing that angered me was that this person has cancer.

  So if you speak against the gb, you'll likely go to hell?

  If you speak favorably about the gb you're already in hell!

  "Fine Witness" diluted in latest experience

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower

  the latest jwdotorg experience starts very familiarly:.

  danielle, one of jehovah’s witnesses in south africa, found a bag that a customer had left behind in a coffee shop.

  inside the bag was a wallet with money and credit cards.. when the owner met her to get it back,.

  I'm with WinstonSmith on this. I call bullsh*t. How the holy hell did the wt organization possibly know what happened "some months later" to the man who supposedly left his bag in a coffee shop.

  Another embellished story.

  A jw was in a coffee shop----that part is probably true!

  When "all" is not "everyone" or "everything."

  by Wonderment in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  we keep seeing posters bringing col. 1.16 and john 1.3 up as proof that christ is excluded from the creative acts.

  the proof they submit is that the words "all things [gk., pánta]" appear in these texts.

  however, they are missing this important element from the discussion: the word "all" is rarely used in greek, and even in our everyday language to mean literally "everyone" or "everything" under the sky.

  The simply words, "all", "everyone", "everything", and the ever popular word "soon" have one meaning to normal rational, logical persons, and quite another meaning to those in watchtower-land.

  Did you understand the individual books of the bible ?

  by Steel in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the last couple years i have been really getting into watching these videos called the bible protect.

  there is no real dogmatic axe to grind.

  just simple 10 -15 min videos on the individual books of the bible and kind of how it’s all connected together.

  It's really hard to make sense of, or to understand mythology. It doesn't have to make sense because it's fantasy.

  Before the "flood", jehober had a prohibition on animals eating blood, after the "flood" jehober changed his/hers/its mind and blood was no longer "sacred" for animals. jehober communicated with the animals in mysterious ways!

  Only One Destiny for All Christians

  by cofty in

  the following is an extract from an article i wrote when i left the watchtower 25 years ago.

  it may be helpful in reasoning with a jw about the anointed/great crowd distinction.. --------------------------------.

  to divide people into those with a heavenly hope and those with an earthly one is not a biblical concept.

  Of course all of your comments are assuming that the bible is true, it's the actual word of a god, the god that no one has heard from for thousands of years, the god that has "patiently" allowed horrific human pain and suffering!

  I am now 73 and the road has been filled with wonders

  by Terry in

  2. friends

  i appreciate all my friends who stop to read what i write and post.

  you help me more than you know simply by being there as a sense of 'family of friends' for me to talk to and 'share' thoughts with.i guess if i didn't have stories left to tell or people to listen, i could pack it in and join elon musk in a colony on mars.january 15, 2020. .

  which world is this?_________________when the doctor pulled my screaming body out of mom all those 7 decades ago, i landed in a post-wwii world.it was--compared to today's world--an alien planet.the world i live in today has nothing in common with the world in which i grew up.there were no cell phones back then--there were black telephones with a dial-tone and an operator who placed your call.everywhere you found telephone booths!

  Happy BD Terry.

  I'll be 73 in March and have pretty much lived a close copy of your life in many ways. I was a young zealot jw, pioneered out of high school, went to "prison" during the Viet war, young elder at 25 yo. I've seen your world and it was pretty cool. Growing up in the 60's in Southern California, Huntington Beach area was a blast. Got married at 19 and am still with my wife of 53 years. Wife is still a captive of the wt but she knows it's a bunch of bs as I've been able to 'witness' to her about shit she never knew about jw's.

  Anyway, I always enjoy your posts and hope someday to meet you in person!
