Why not educate them and make them self sufficient people so they can contribute to the betterment of the human race?

Well thank you sir James

I prefer to keep it light ...i had too may heavy times in the BORG...kinda helped screw my life up a bit...BUT I can't blame them so much....I have to really blame myself.

Are you sure? You were trusting and they lied to you. I suppose some blame rests on our lack of investigating things....but many times we simply trust people and what they say. For those raised in it, it's a little different.

why would you blame yourself

Mum

Blaming anyone is pointless. The only thing to do, in the words of a familiar song, is "pick yourself up, dust yourself off, start all over again." I am sorry that I had to go through the experience of being a JW, and many other unpleasant experiences, to become who I am today. But life offers no shortcuts: we all have to make our own mistakes, and, if we're smart, learn from them.

Merry Christmas to all!

My question is how many will be "rice" christians, seeking better economic conditions or political freedom rather than any personal or collective "salvation".

You haven't read Revelations. That day will come. So yes I can see it happening.

Yizuman, it's Revelation (singular), as in "A Revelation to John". And it says nothing about the United Nations. It's a book that was written in code to avoid persecution from the Romans and tells us nothing about the times we live in.

hey man i know the feeling, is it not amazing how we could never really joke and cut the fool without being branded by some

CO or body of elders as "This bro is not Serious"

Their are about 250,000,000 people listed in the Chinese phone book under the name of Wong. Now, should every one of them convert that would mean:

There are a lot of Christians who are Wong, and that's a lot of Wong phone numbers.

Brother JT,

Can you take a minute in the 'library' with me? Been meaning to tell you how much I enjoyed your last talk. Your gestures and 'down to earth' expressions were very 'encouraging for the brother's and sister's'.

BUT there is ONE THING I feel must be mentioned. Your wife, has been noted by SOME in the congregation as being a little to independent. Well you know dressing so nice, having a good job, then on top of it all......actually asking questions 'directly to' the CO about his 'personal views' regarding bearing children. You know that words spoken from the platform by any elder should be above questioning, especially by the 'sister's'........perhaps a little direction from you will help her.

Also brother, you have a very jolly attitude BUT, bro Boring and sister Bored approached me about your get to gether the other nite, apparently you did not let them play 'sharades'.......they had a really great skit of 'going from door to door' that everyone would have thourghly enjoyed. They were so depressed that they could not perform, they both reported no field service time for the last two weeks!!! My advice is to invite them over again asap. Perhaps my wife and I could also attend? You know so as so make them feel more at home, maybe?

I will bring the kingdom melodies from the hall if you like?

Brother Leftfield Bear
