  recently i talked to an elder about this type of witnessing.

  i’ve known him for many years and he is a very honest upright man.

  he marveled at how many people have become baptized in the last couple of years because of cart witnessing.

  so, i think i’m going to be df’d, but elders are out of town and no decision has been officially reached.

  what would happen if i sent a certified overnight letter and said that i was going to disassociate before they have their meeting??.

  i know the two conditions are similar, but i’m just curious... dd.

  They may want to DF out of spite first but if you would prefer to DA then just send it regardless.

  Hey Terry, I take it you've seen the JP vs channel 4 Cathy Newman debacle?

  If not, totally worth a look, classic Peterson.

  Edited to say oops, Cofty already mentioned it.

  Let's see now that's 72 + 23 = marvelous numbers getting baptized because....carts, carts everywhere... yaaaaaaaaaay!

  Without any context it's impossible to say if this is even true let alone solely because of the cart people.

  ken cook was announced today at morning worship as the new member of the governing body.

  I'd say that puts KC in the overlapping gen class.

  Hey the GB could be known as KC and the Sunshine Band - ironically of course.

  That's one of the great things about being a girl the only thing that gives us away is if we make Meg Ryan 'I'll have what she's having" noises. Otherwise no pillow required. Cool huh.

  Don't Try to Choose Your Beliefs

  by cofty in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  beliefs are not things to be chosen like new clothes; authentic beliefs happen to us without our conscious attention.. i have often seen comments from ex-jws to the effect that they are now unsure about what they 'ought' to believe.

  others express offense when their chosen beliefs are challenged and well-meaning bystanders protest that everybody is entitled to believe whatever they wish.

  this misunderstanding of what it means to believe something is unhelpful.. it's natural to want to quickly replace our old beliefs when our worldview has collapsed around us.

  Was it Aristotle who said something about "... being able to entertain a thought without accepting it."?
