@ Doctor Who:
Which congregations in Pittsburgh? Do you know?
i haven’t posted in awhile.
my wife asked me after the year 2000 came and went without fanfare(because the wt organization said all the “new world” would be here within this 20th century would end), “ what would it take for you to leave the truth?”.
my reply was “ if i turn 60 in this “system of things”.
I've been pretty much out of the borg now for 5 years or so. I was in it my whole life. Now that I'm in my late 30's, I'm beginning to wonder about actually growing old and it scares me.
if you have one, do cops stop you to make sure it is not too dark?
.
They will in Ohio.
for many years the government of mexico did not allow religious organizations to own property.
any property used by a religious organization was confiscated by the government.
this law changed in the mid 1990's.
I don't know what's more corrupt, the governing body or the government of Mexico.
i don't know if this topic has been covered before - it might 've been.. i also recommend flipper's excellent music thread ('what songs have you been listening to?
', or similar).. but, i'd just like to start a thread about certain songs giving me goosebumps.
y'know, when you hear a song that profoundly effects you in some difficult-to-describe way and the hairs on your arm stand on end even though the room temperature's comfortably warm.. so, which songs give you goosebumps?.
That one song about bees getting molested always got me.
i was just wondering this morning about all the kingdom halls and branches being sold to "babylon the great" and other businesses.
every single kingdom hall and bethel branch that has been sold was "dedicated to jehovah" by the watchtower corporation.
a special meeting with a guest speaker gives a talk and then offers a prayer dedicating the building to yhwh.
Everything has a price.
i do like the usa but winters suck!
florida has some charm but it gets brutal with heat and humidity.
california is too looney.
I was born and raised in Pennsylvania, but have been living in Ohio for most of the last 14 years. Ohio is not that bad if you have a decent job. You could live comfortably and the politics are sensible (not too far left or right). You typically don't have to worry about hurricanes, wild fires, volcanos, earthquakes or tsunamis. The weather can be brutal in the winter, especially along Lake Erie.
With that being said, I wouldn't mind having a house on the Chesapeake Bay somewhere between the Potomac and York Rivers in Virginia. But I can't afford it lol.
i need to vent again here.
because i have no one else to talk with and no one who really understands except for the people here.
my wife is the most dangerous kind of jw.
@ goingthruthemotions:
I been there before.
at 95 , queen elizabeth is one sharp lady.
she lauded those people that helped break up a terrorist attack.
she didn’t take any crap from prince andrew and told him to take a hike.
Yeah, its not she has to worry about much being that she is a queen.
as jehovah’s witnesses, we were regularly told how awful a college education is.
i’m no longer associated with the religion but i am not so pro university.
it’s not because i think you are better off without a degree.
I got my associate's degree a few years after I graduated from high school. It certainly worked out for me. I feel that if it wasn't for the "bad press" that college has gotten from J-Dubs, I would have gotten a bachelor's degree or higher.
