Man. I HOPE the extended measures actually happen, people can gloss over lies and reason away misinformation, but they'll soon notice their wallets getting thinner. SUSPICIOUS - I was going to put a big fat zero on mine but your idea is brilliant, over inflate the figures, put a nice high amount, let's all mess with them!

Is this new donation arrangement for real?
by nugget injust read a post on jwsurvey about the new donation arrangement.
congregations are to pledge a monthly amount to be sent to the society to fund the building of assembly halls and kingdom halls.
congregations who already have a loan from the society will no longer have to pay back the loan but the amount pledged should not be less than the current monthly repayments to the society.

Why do I bother to wake up in the morning?
by punkofnice ini'm not suicidal just fed up.. i did think of suicide (briefly), but as there is no painless way and it's not something i would willingly do just in case things would have been better the day after.
i do have a slight grain of hope.. money problems.....problems at home (that's another matter with a son up court for something he is adamant he didn't do.
first offence but the pigs police and the cps have got charges made.

Dude. You bring much happiness to all on here, to your audience when you play, to your gf (I hope), so do what you got to do to be happy, play more, be a bit selfish, you deserve it man!

I don't find this stuff amusing anymore
by sparrowdown ini would just like to get this off my chest.. during the public talk last sunday the speaker (bro holden m'groin) said in public talk: .
" if you ask any 16yr old girl what she wants out of life, she would probably say a home, a family etc etc" (because obviously this is still 1955).. anyway that got my attention i thought " hmm....where is he going with this?"..
bro holden m'groin goes on .

Its funny how the simple everyday pleasures of civil society such as talking to an old friend or wishing someone a happy seasonal holiday become BADASS when youre out mentally!
Crazy situation eh?

EX JW Podcast
by snare&racket ini am setting up a podcast (radio show) where we will cover the issues of jw's, amongst the topics of science, belief and more.. i am letting you guys know because i would like to interact with the forum as we do them, looking for suggestions for topics, looking for guest ideas and also we can mask voies and change names, so interviewing current jw's to help provide people a voice, an outlet for their frustration whilst providing a safety net.
there is no hierarchy, but current elders, bethelites etc that contribute here already will be more than welcome and protected!.
the podcast will be pro science, i will have both atheist and theist co-presenters in the episodes but i can't deny my bias towards evidence and science, but hopefully it should be enjoyable and informative for us all.. i plan for it to be about 2hrs long, maybe an episode a month or every 2 or 3 weeks.

How did I miss this thread ?
Awesome idea matey, ill be an avid listener at least.
I agree with the science 101, or at least have a 101 section in there. Robert Price has an 'up to speed' section in 'the human bible' where he goes right back to basics for new listeners and the uneducated.. i need that!

This generation and a key weasel word
by Socrateswannabe inin this past sunday's watchtower lesson, which has been discussed at length on this board, the gb/writing committee used a key weasal word that we will probably see again.
the exact quote is: "we understand that in mentioning 'this generation,' jesus was referring to two groups of anointed christians.".
this goofy teaching is merely a patch until they can devise something more plausible, or until some event occurs that they can latch onto that will make this teaching more acceptable to the r&f.

in today's Watch Tower, Brooklyn/Patterson contradicted Jesus.- the Pattern.
by prologos inin paragraph 17 the wt writer alleged that we can not know the exact day and hour, "--but we can and do know the season--"-- we are living in that season--"but.
when jesus was asked a simlar to the wt theme question about the kingdom "--when --"or:.
" lord are you restoring the kingdom at this time?--".

Oubliette - I can't remember the exact verse , but in that Romans scripture, the contextual verses contain BOTH the day AND the hour mentioned. I was angry at the hall yesterday . Such hogwash .

Star Trails
by ILoveTTATT inone of the things that i have only done once... but i would love to do again and again until i perfect the technique, is called star trails.. my camera is a canon 60d.
there is a way to "hack" the canon dslr's so that they get some amazing functionalities, such as taking a picture just by clapping (really cool for when you want to take a picture and no one is able to push the button) and taking pictures at certain intervals.. you can read more about this "hacking" on .

I LOVE taking star trails . . If you wanna find the North star , get the big dipper in sight then look where the last two stars of it are pointing, that's the North star. . It doesn't have to be central on the frame, but if it's in there SOMEWHERE then the circles will appear. . . Good thinking time, star trail shooting time.

Nice conversation
by GoUnion inhello everyone i just wanted to give a litte update on what happened today with my tolerant, but still active jw wife.
she was at the sunday morning meeting today and when she came home she told me the wt study was about the revised overlapping generation setting.
there has been some tension whenever we discuss my differences with current wt beliefs so i was surprised she brough this up.

Small victories eh? My wife leaned across during the item about using older issues of the magazines when the point was made that they don't go out of date, and whispered scornfully "yes they DO!" And just yesterday she was talking about hating being made to feel guilty for missing a meeting or ministry. Tiny steps in the right direction are SO encouraging....
