when i read some of the posts i cant help wondering that things do not go always the same everywhere.

Hispanic JWs are much more warm and into family values. By far, the clickiest of JWs I've ever known! Like a very close knit family of sorts.
I notice, at least in the areas where I've lived here in the USA, that the American (anglo saxon) congregations seem very cold and distant. Excellent for fading!

next week, due to his recently learned so called knowledge of psychiatry and medication??
and bashing of those that use it?.

I plan on going to the movies and seeing this movie, regardless of my disagreement with his views on psychology and his publicity driven relationship with Ms. Holmes.
If I was to disagree with the point of view of the many different artists or their life style, I'd for sure not ever go to the movies!

cons.
i don't know who is scarier, the jw's or some people on this board.
man, r u guys bitter?
Smelly Onions,
You are so right!!!!!!!!!
Most of my relatives are JWs and are among the nicest people I know. Like you, I really appreciate the morals and self-discipline learned while growing up a JW.
Hang around here and don't leave because some ask you to. I need more kindred spirits that share my views. And you're right about finding out juicy stuff. I already know the name of the publication coming out in the assembly and I haven't even attended yet! How cool is that?!
There are many of us here that know the WBTS is only a religious/man-made/business-like organization and just like any other organization will have its good and bad. Some will accentuate the possitive and some the negative.
That's the way life goes!!!
Be well.

i went to the meeting yesterday because the out of town speaker and his wife are good friends of my wife and i. after the meeting we got invited to someones house who was feeding the speaker because they know that we are friends and because ive missed lots of meetings in the last two months and my wife and i need a good love bombing!
well during our lunch i was complaining about my having braces at 30 and how stupid i looked with them and the 83 year old sisters house we were at told me that i wasted my money on them because the end would be here with 7 years anyway.
i asked her "do you really think so?
The Bible must be wrong then! It reads that nobody knows when the end will come.
Hmmmmmmm.................

Banking 'on line' is grrrrrrrrrrrreat!!!

i just realized that i have a paid holiday next weekend.
i will be off july 1 - 4th.
i have no idea what to do with all of that free time.
Have you checked out a zoo/museum/historical center lately? A wealth of knowledge and entertainment there.
Check it out!
House work, if well done, can take up a whole day and get you pretty tired. Try that as well.

i have been here for almost 3 months now and was curious what ya'll did for fun outside of jwd.com.
right now because it's summer and it's too hot i don't do much glassblowing.
but that is where i spend most of my weekends when i'm not working.
Volunteer work.
I'm also always studying something, some subject. That takes up a chunk of time and keeps me in contact with decent non-JWs.

the wts org has:.
a formidable enemy (ex/former members),.
an enemy with an excellent communication tool unavailable in the past (the internet),.
Oh, and another thing....
The hard-core/die-hard JW crowd is literally dying. The new breed of JWs is quite relaxed, pro-gray area, into education and highly connected with the inevitable technologic world.
Having said the above, it's impossible for the WBTS not to change 100%.
