  A Landlord Glimpse on Tenant’s Property

  by Loi_241 in

  2. experiences

  when i look back, i wish that a landlord glimpse on my property and so she does not want more than me renting her home.

  but, i still do not have a wish because she wants more money; she does not have to be satisfied to what she has.

  and so a landlord commanded me to give the exact gifts, not let me to be a generous tenant to give whatever is from my heart.

  Long story short : Do not rent a property from a devout Jehovah's witness lest she be careless with your tenant money that you saved for your dreaming vacation.

  Years ago son raised a few years as a JW. Now struggles with depression

  background:.

  i spent some time here awhile back as an unbelieving mate of a jw wife.

  i learned a lot, and was able to be supportive and understanding when she decided to leave the jw.. unfortunately, my son seems to have internalized many of the jw teachings.

  He needs to rid himself of the notion that JWs have the "truth."

  The only antidote to their anxiety inducing lies is research and information. Would he be willing to visit JWfacts?

  There are some youtubers that may interest him Pierre Burmester is a young guy and a good one to check out with him.

  All the best to you.

  When did district conventions become regional conventions and why?

  i think it was gary and heather bottings' book the orwellian world of jehovah's wifnesses that noted the function of the habit of the watchtower organisation of changing organisational terminology periodically.

  congregations became companies and then back to congregations again.

  circuit overseers became circuit servants and then back again.

  They have to keep changing the terminology so they can spot the ones who are not current or active.

  Uh oh, promoting materialism? So I take it the WT will be donating their billions to the poor then.

  To avoid being hypocrite-like.

  hi, for over a year, i stopped attending meeting and field service.

  actually, passively disassociated from the congregation.

  but i did not stop reading and doing my own research.

  American accents, Bette Midler, Clinton, Rick Fearon, Strathclyde, Morningside

  i used to enjoy being able to distinguish different local accents, but for some reason i've got worse at it.

  i was thinking about this today when i was listening to bette midler on the scottish radio.

  i thought to myself i quite liked her accent and also that it reminded me of someone else.

  New Field Service Format?

  by jw07 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it seems that hype is the only thing keeping jw.org alive and well these days (that and the money of suckers who continue to fall for it).. at meeting on monday, an elder announced "the faithful slave has seen it fit to change the format of our ministry in 2016, and more information will come".

  i guess the desired reaction is to get jws preoccupied with what those changes could possibly be, and if it means that the end is nearer or some crap.. with that said, i've been suckered into wanting to know what these 'changes' will be.

  does anyone know?

  The format of the ministry huh....hmmm, maybe the witnessing will be conducted from the local coffee shop with tablets left open on the table playing JDubyer.borg videos while the group orders coffee and gossips.

  I love Matthew McConaughey 's voice mostly because of his accent.
