Phew, thanks evryone, thought I was going blind or crazy after re reading the article.
My initial thought was the cart must have been parked pretty close to the edge all on its lonesome.

No princesess in new order? Really??
by dugout ina couple of months ago this crazy gb member via video gave a talk about their would be princes in the new order but no princesses.
i thought that was so funny.
especially after he beated around the bush the whole talk, finally saying in the last sentence their would be princes but no princesses in the new system,then the video just blacked out.

Many unanswered questions here re sprinkler systems? Smoke alarms? Highly combustible building materials?Electrical fault?
I suspect a few heads will roll over this one. I know I would be demanding answers if it were my neighbourhood.

Maybe his wife talked him into robbing a bank to get a break from him.
"You need a hobbie honey, I hear bank robbery is fun."

Why is the approval of family so important?
by jwfacts inone of the reasons people remain pimo is fear of losing family.
those that are disfellowshipped and shunned regularly comment about how devastated that they have lost the approval of their parents.. when i respond to emails from people saying how difficult it is being estranged or looked down on by their parents, i would like to say that over time they will come to terms with it, except i not sure that people ever do.
i cannot shake that feeling either.

I think approval of parents and family can be so hard to let go of as adult ex jws because as a JW you never really have unconditional approval from them. You are only ever as "good" as your last good works.
If your good works slip your family's approval rating of you slips as well, that's not true approval or love that's doling out treats for desired behavior and withdrawing it for unwanted behavior, like training an animal!
WT indoctrinates its members that approval from other witnesses is more important than life itself.
How WT screws people and families up is gift that keeps giving, that's for sure.

Another day, another cart
by Anony Mous ini was standing at a red light and i noticed the little cart standing there.
they're barely noticeable and when i continued there was apparently someone on the other side of the street too.
the only problem, the location is a very busy intersection which has virtually no foot traffic and they're hard to see to begin with, as you can see from my vantage point i couldn't even read the cart and three people next to them on this side and two of them on the other side.. .

The cart I walked past just this week was right in front of and I mean right in front of an ATM (automatic teller machine) the scruffy weirdos manning the thing dressed in thrift shop wear circa 1885.
Not a good look WT.

Jehovah's Witnesses denial of what they are supposed to believe from Watchtower
by jambon1 inone of the most frustrating things.
when you confront jw's about what they believe they will often deny it.
such as "if your child is disfellowshipped then you can't have contact with them ever again".

WT are the Kings of spin, denial and obfuscation and demand the same from their followers. I see it as part of the indoctrinated mindset and very difficult to reason with, it's like hitting your head on brick wall talking to them.

Why would Watchtower fight Stratton Ohio
by John Davis inwhy would watchtower sue stratton ohio, and then laud it over and over in their books?
the town doesn't even have 300 people, why would they pick on such a small town.
they are promoting it so much at this week's meeting.

My guess is because WT are bullies and love nothing better than bragging about it if it goes well for them.The battles they lose you never hear about.

Have You Ever Found Yourself Really Not Liking Someone Here?
by minimus ini've been on this board for years.
99% of the posters here i do not personally know.
a few, maybe not so much...lol..... do posters here get you upset to the point that you really don't like them?

I don't know anyone here well enough to like or dislike, how well can you know someone from a few lines or paragraphs on a forum. Besides, I try to keep "like" out of the equation when reading another's comments and posts because even people you don't "like" or agree with can raise interesting points or make astute observations that cause you to think. There is something to learn from everyone.
