can anyone give me a valid reason for it?
growing old is a drag.
the witnesses idea of ever lasting life, that you will come back to your most youthful state is such a bs answer..
Ironically the knowledege that we will run out of time gives value and meaning to the limited time we have.
If time was endless would there be an imperitive to get anything done?
Maybe living forever would eventually make us ungrateful lazy apathetic procrastinators.
just wondering.
when i was a witness, we had presiding overseer, and would say p-o for short.
do they spell it out when they say cobe or do they say it with as a word?
Round these parts they just say "the coordinator" you know, a bit like "the terminator."

Excellent video for people who think WT doesn't LIE through their teeth!
according to the watchtower:.
who received the ransom payment?.
why did the ransomer need to be paid?.
In WTworld there is a fourth party involved in the "ransom" the mediator's mediator and that would conveniently be WT itself!
Even though the ramsom was paid you still have to earn your right to a sucky conditional salvation by dedication and works to this mediator's mediator for the term of your natural life and even then your salvation is iffy!
Even though when JC was being executed he promisd his fellow execution buddy beside him who was not a follower of his that they would be together in a "paradise" after their death.
you, a jw:.
"how're you doing, mary?
" joe witness asks the grocery clerk.. "not so good, joe.
Yes, I do.
When I see witnesses now I ask how their non-JW or DF/inactive kids, spouse or family are. I mention each of them of them by name but only in the context of how they are doing as people nothing borg related at all.
You know the ones they never talk about and you're not supposed to ask about.
They look at me like "why are you asking about them for when you know they're NOT in the truth!" LOL.
Oh the horror! I'm a wicked woman.
recently, someone who knows deborah drexler, the current copyright holder of cofc, asked her if she will consider having it published again.
her response was:.
" i will have to ask jesus"!!!!!.
Is she being evasive for a reason ($$$)???
I always thought it would be in WT's interests to buy the rights to the book and pay her to not talk about it so it never sees the light of day again.

“yes, the end of this system is so very near!
is that no reason to increase our activity?… reports are heard of brothers selling their homes and property and planning to finish out the rest of their days in this old system in the pioneer service.
The truth lies in what they do not what they say. Look at what WT spends it's money on.
And it looks more like a beginning than an "end."
one thing that bugs the heck out of me is the exclusive use of entitled when offering the name of any talk or article.
can;t it ever be "on the subject of", named, titled, called, about or anything else.. i guess technically it is a correct usage, but entitled always (to me) means gives the idea of being in a special privelege, having a right to something or such..
Haha, to say "on the subject of" would be false advertising for borg talks. JW talk titles often don't match the content of the talk. Saying "the talk entitled..." is like a weasle word for them IOW "the talk is called this but it's actually about that - usually a subject spun into a WT propoganda message."
makes me crazy:.
there: go over there!.
their: they own it; belonging to etc.. for the love of pete - use them correctly!.
Their, they're its ok, weel getya through this.
