just wanted to ask a question of those who were born in as i was.. how did you feel to have been "privileged to have been born into the only true faith - the truth"?.
did this make you feel confident, or proud - or perhaps arrogant?.
how did you reconcile the fact that 99% of the earth's population was not born "into the truth"?.
I have to add to this.
I could not reconcile how as Witnesses, we would be so sad when a natural disaster struck killing multitudes of people.
In my mind, I thought, "its sad, BUT if Armageddon came tomorrow, they would all be killed by Jehovah anyway!... and we would not be able to be sad about that! So this way they get a resurrection - right??"
Cue head explosion....

This sort of stuff really does my logical head in!
HOW can they honestly say things like "supplicate Jehovah for his spirit" and the like, when most would have been doing that as the disaster struck!
Jehovah gets a free pass in all these things!
If something appears to go well for a believer, then that is "evidence of God's blessing". If it doesn't, then that is "evidence that it wasn't according to God's will"
Either way, God gets to be the winner!
on saturday, october 7.. any chance to get user name and password for stream?.
From past experience, the username and password varies from Congregation to congregation, and from circuit to circuit.
That way they can regulate the access.
So even if you got a username and password, it would not necessarily be the correct one, or be functional for your area.
north korea has taken president trump's recent statements as a declaration of war.
pyongyang reserves the right to shoot down american planes even if they are not inside their airspace.. i listened to trump's speech to the un with dismay.
it demonstrated a total lack of understanding of his enemy and the inevitable consequences of inflicting personal insults on kim jong-un.
Nuclear fallout and radiation knows no boundaries...
It will NOT stay on one side of an imaginary line on a map...
The devastation will be felt for 1,000's of kms around the world!

So when will they be doing OTHER songs from Pharrell's catalogue?
"Drop it like its hot " with Snoop Dogg...(A fine upstanding Witness)
"Hunter" (a sexually charged song about a random hook-up?)
"She wants to move" with N.E.R.D (A suggestive song...)
"Frontin" with Jay Z (another fine upstanding moral artist)
Yep....it goes on!
(Just for the record, I personally like many of those tracks....but they would hardly be suitable for Witnesses to promote!)
hey guys!
what do you think is the percentage of jw's believe that it is the truth and the percentage of those who think it might be some false or all false??
?.
Actual knowledge of doctrinal facts or belief in the specific teachings are secondary to OBEDIENCE to the GB and OBEDIENCE to the routine of JW life.

clearly the right move by this doctor and court.
unfortunately, the watchtower continues to try and argue that so called "mature minors" (11-17 years old) should be allowed to follow their irrational policy on blood, even if death could result.
Good.
One less martyr the Society can exploit.
We wish the young child all the very best. Life is so precious, and this child is only just starting to live. She has so much potential to explore. How sad it would be to have that cut short because of misapplied edicts from an ancient book!
i have seen a few comments about this week's meeting.. was there actually a part that specified an actual per-publisher amount that should be donated regularly?.
can this be confirmed please?.
i truly cant believe just how brazen the society seems to be getting - and how desperate they are!.
Ok thanks Morpheus.
It makes sense now....
i remember once in berlin south germany there was a local needs part for the men only, and how they should use the toilet.
in all seriousness for ten minutes a retarded nigerian was going on about how men need to sit down when using the toilet.
no mention of anything else.. it transpired that some little kraut boy from an "interested" family would aim for the side of the toilet and leave a great big puddle for others to clean up.
We had one about the duration and regularity of coffee breaks during witnessing mornings. The custom was to stop at 10:45 or so for 15 minutes. Nothing excessive.
Apparantly Jehovah doesn't like people wasting time or some such garbage....
