a lot of people are in a little fuss about the generation change, which as far as im concerned, doesn't change anything, it could be step one of a bigger adjustment down the track, but on its own, its been done.
but at the annual meeting of the wtbs, there wasn't 1 but 5 changes of thought, the light has literally exploded.
one that has caught my attention is the the change on the dragnet of matthew 13. if you have wt 92 6/15 read it!
It's hard to believe that people can lap up this crap with a straight face.
But that's where they get you. You have to accept that the gb, wts or whatever speaks for jehovah. Once they've got you there, most people will do anything, ie drink the kool-aid. That's why it's impossible to reason with them. You could turn the light out (as if it isn't already) and they'd still not notice anything wrong.

given that 1 = 0, i can prove that i am jesus.
add 1 to both sides of the equation: then we have 2 = 1. .
I was mathophobic until I joined this forum. Now I understand it all; hell, I am Math.
i had a routine doctor visit this morning with a primary care.
she happens to be someone i saw once about 9 years ago during a brief swap in insurance providers.
shortly after that visit, our insurance changed and the doctor was no longer on the "approved" list.
It can pop up in old computer records. I was surprised once, as you were. Every year or so I ask the clerk at the doctor's office to check to make sure I'm not listed as a jw.
.....that it simply wasn't the truth?.
i never really felt spiritual as a jw.
i knew that i should feel like a spiritual person, but couldn't work out why i never did.. .
A very long time. Getting out was a process of many years. Even after finding this site it took reading "Crisis of Conscience" to finally learn the truth and let go.
were you 100% sure that your decision was correct?.
Welcome UU. Me, too.

What a waste of a life. Would the judge think other adult decisions would have been OK? What about marriage? He may have been mature for his age, but this judge seems entirely short sighted.
dansk's christmas tree thread got me to thinking .. in this house we do not celebrate since my wife is still a die hard dub.
i have no complaints about that, it was our joint choice for decades and i an the one that changed .but as witnesses we were always given the negative view of the holiday time :-.
"people feel that they just have to do it although they do not really want to".
I really do like it; I wish the season lasted longer. The j-dubs are wrong.
it's too damn cold for my liking!
all the people that have real winters will laugh, but mid 30's to lower 40's is despicably cold by oregon standards .
to make things that much better, the furnace in the house where i live died on monday.
Well, it's dark, rainy, and cool here in south-east Michigan. On the upside, just over four more weeks until the days begin getting longer! Garden planning begins in January! Actually, my most difficult cold months are February and March. They are soooooo looooooong....
Hope your heat gets fixed soon. I'd keep calling her, middle of the cold night, too, until it's fixed.

I'd love a work-out CD, burned from your favorite music. I also like tea, coffee, dark chocolate, but I'm also off gluten and can't enjoy most home made goodies.
Heirloom seeds would be terrific (keep my climate in mind, though!) I've just finished my second year in my new organic garden and love being a city farmer.
Or just surprise me. I posted this just in case Nos got my name - I don't want no stinking wts lit!
