by JV in

seeing as i'm dowloading songs so i can blast them at the neighbour kids, i was thinking, what songs stand the test of time?

what songs do you listen to over and over again and never get tired of.

here's my list.. if you tolerate this - manic street preachers.

Are You Happy With Your Life???

by minimus in

jw
friends

basically, are you happily single, married, divorced, separated?

do you wish that your life could be happier?

do you believe that life sucks and then you die, anyway?

At this present time, I'm so soo sooo very happy about my life: I have an adorable husband that adores me right back, good health, financial ease, a great job with wonderful co-workers, good relations with all my relatives, live in a place many already call 'paradise on earth'. What else could I possibly ask for?!

I only wish many more would have it at the very least as good as I have it right now. That would make me an even happier person.

Of course, as the world turns conditions change. I only hope to have it as good for as long as possible.

Good Decisions.....

by riotgirlpeeps in

so i was curious, besides leaving the organ, what other life altering decisions have you made that have greatly improved your life, that you wouldn't have made were you still under the "sheep" mentality?.

for me, divorcing my ex, taking a chance to get involved with anyone again, and working at fulfilling my lifelong goal of running my own business (non cleaning or menial labor related).

my self worth and confidence has absolutely increased for acting on these decisions..

I got a terrible case of 'cold feet' on my first boyfriend/fiance and skipped town for a few years.

I couldn't quite put my finger on what it was about him that told me he wasn't the right man to marry. The wedding was to take place in the Summer and one Spring morning I just woke up and said "this is not right. I cannot go through with this", said my good-byes to my family and left the area for a long while. While I was away a friend told me he went nuts for a while, broke down suicidal and all that.

Years later and 2 divorces under his belt, I found out about his little drugs, physical abuse and cheating on his ex-wives. He's even been arrested a couple of times and done jail time for his behavior.

WOW!!! My instincts were right on target about that jerk!!!

How the Watchtower Perverts Compassion

this what jesus said about mercy (matt.

The WBTS is anti-charity. However, they want more and more each day for their coffers.

If JWs go out to eat during the assembly break, they spend more hence less for their coffers. What do they do about this? Behind the mask of Christian association, encourage the R&F to bring their food so that they can have more time to mingle with the other brothers and sisters.

It's so clear to see their real motives!!!

disfellowshipped for gluttony?

by onintwo in

hello jwd board community.

just wondering.. has anyone ever heard of a person being disfellowshipped for the terrible sin of gluttony?

isn't it ranked right up there with drunkeness, adultery, murder, etc.?.

Doubtfully Yours

There is this prominent brother up in New England, with his whole family, that it's of public knowledge that they're all gluttons. There are even stories of how they've been asked to leave from certain eating places because they've abused the buffet lines.

They show it physically too! I'm talking about grossly and morbidly obese, huge as a house, every single one of them!!!

We would think that for their public display of gluttony they would've gotten at the very least privately reproof. NOPE! Instead the head of the family heads some department in the assemblies and all the others are elders and regular pioneers. All are loved and regarded very highly within the Hispanic JW community up in the Massachusetts area.

Talk about a double standard!!!

by Bas in

since the rise of biotech, the possibility of eternal life and an easy cure for cancer have been widely discussed and speculated about.. .

now, however, it looks like the cancercells themselves are teaching scientists how to stop the agingprocess and bringing us closer to eternal life.

millions living now will never die!!!.

Let's not kid ourselves. Millions now living will die just the same as other millions have in passed times.

Therefore, and be .

Somethings just not true!

by defd in

jw
friends

ive been here for sometime now.

long enough to know that some peoples hatred toward th wtbts and some of its members are based on wrong information.

for instance: ive read on hear many times that the wt promotes the idea that everyone whos not a witness are not friend material or will be destroyed at armageddon.

Doubtfully Yours

defd,

The WBTS does not promote/encourage association of any kind with non-JWs. It's pounded into us at every single meeting I've attended.

Yes, JWs do voice the opinion that they're God's chosen people and everyone else will die in Armageddon. However, they do say that even inside the congregation can be people that are considered 'bad association'.
