How many of you went to the elders when you / someone did something wrong ?
by run dont walk ini've read a lot of threads of late, where people stated when they did something wrong they would go the elders the next day and confess.. i find this truly bizzare !!!.
okay, maybe i didn't have a conscience as a jw, i did alot of things wrong, but, that would be the f--kin' day i would go to the elders and confess anything.
i would never tell those old goots anything, because then they would have something to hang over you for a long time.

I Just Don't "Fit" Anywhere!
by pettygrudger ini'm sitting at work today, listening to all the different "cliques" around me, typing here on these boards a bit (don't tell), and it occurred to me again that i just don't fit.. .
it seems like i don't "fit" anywhere.
i'm always on the outskirts of alot of "groups", always on the fringe, but never inside.

What direction is the organization going in?
by Elsewhere init seems to me that they are holding fast to their legalistic views.

i think that the result will be a more closed society.

Did God Create Dinosaurs Or UFOs?
by Latin assassin from Manhattan ini remember at a district convention in yankee stadium back in the 80's where the district overseer mentioned the possibility of one day being able to share the universe "with other creations of jehovah" as he put it.
it definitely got everyone's attention because he even went so far as to say that perhaps ufos are a creation of jehovah, but we haven't been told of their purpose.
when i heard that i nearly choked on my jw-hoagie.

Do Any of Anointed live through Armageddon ?
by Gordy ini've been trying to get some information to clarify the above question.. we know the change in the 1914 generation teaching that occurred, in 1995.. what i want to know is do any of the anointed live through armageddon.. or according to jw teaching will they have all been taken to heaven before then.. i seem to remember back in 1995 when i was a jw having to review, with an elder, the district convention where the change on the "generation" was first put forward.. when discussing what we were going to say the elder asked what i thought the change meant.
i said it looks like that the all "anointed" would be in heaven before armageddon happens.
he agreed thats what he thought as well.. if anyone can give me some wt references to that thought, i would be grateful.

A question for the ladies?????
by Maverick ini have noticed that when the ladies post pictures of "hunks" these guys have no body hair.
when i was a gymnast many of the guys would cut their hair real short and shave their chests and stomachs and oil them to get a better, more defined look.
i always thought chest hair was "manly" so i never did it.
