I do not think that it is so much the "longer in" as it is "one step closer to death" ( http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/pinkfloyd/time.html ) and the realization that you are no different than your parents, grandparents, ( insert overlapped generation here ) , etc. and you are / have wasting/ed your life

by sparrowdown in

Leslie Neilsen was a treasure.

today i added a new article to my blog.

it will appeal to readers interested in historical documentation of watchtower blood doctrine.

it contains an image of a very rare document from the early 1970s stipulating what jehovah's witnesses do not allow.

Thanks Marvin.

christians, should i attend kingdom hall meetings to discreetly "preach" to jws about the real jesus and the lies of the watchtower?.

You could turn it into a project.

Record or document your experiences, and after a length of time, post your observations and results.

Unless you integrate, your odds of any kind of success will extremely low.

If you play the game for a while, and you're a male wearing pants, you may be able to attract attention from a female, and maybe succeed that way, but that raises a number of ethical issues.

Unbaptized Publisher

by naazira in

what would you recommend for an unbaptized publisher that has learned ttatt and is inactive?

do you think it is best for someone to just continue to be inactive and live & let live?

or take time and write a letter wishing to no longer be an unbaptized publisher?.

berrygerry

If you're not baptized, just move on.

Unless, you want to bring someone out with you.

Could a JW be DF for celebrating Festivus?

by Stealth in

jw
friends

after all, it's a secular holiday not a religious holiday.. if i was still an active member, i think i would start a new tradition of celebrating festivus.

most likely no jws would come, but that's okay, it's a famiily holiday anyway.. what grounds would the elders have to disfellowship you?.

Don't forget about the feats of strength.

"...what it is is this spanx, this skin-tight stuff they wear.

now, are you sisters wearing this in the ministry?

i can't say that i've ever seen that.

berrygerry

Spanx are ovary-crushers - Tracy Ullman on JKL.

Who knew?

Go ToMo.

There are many such cases in Canada.

The leading one was a Supreme Court case - Young v. Young

Hewitt v. Hewitt is a good read - DF'd father - much of the '81 WT is discussed.
