  today we celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary and my sons 16th birthday.

  i feel privileged to be able to show my appreciation and love for both the men in my life without feeling guilt.

  we left in 2009 as a family and have not regretted the choice.

  there are quite a few movies and tv shows that i've seen discussed on this forum, that reflect the jw culture and teachings.

  like "invasion of the body snatchers" , the star trek "borgs".

  but i was thinking about certain episodes or portions of movies etc.

  That's the nice thing about art, whether it's stories, music, etc. Based on our personal life experiences certain things can seem like allegory even if they weren't intended that way. On my way out I experienced the same thing with Star Wars, with the empire's propaganda, thought and information control seeming to mirror the GB. One of the novels even had a story of a family where the parents were proud to give their daughter to serve the empire, but when she started to be critical of it she went missing. Even then the parents refused to accept the facts and we're loyal to the empire, but her brother became 'PIMO' if you will and stayed in to bring the empire down from within and save his family.

  Did you really just call the title the "tittle" multiple times?
  Everybody, give Morph a break. His mind is obviously somewhere else.

  He also typed fiture instead of future. Obviously in such a rush to get his content out he didn't have time to check it first. 😐

  Anti-witnessing mistake by me !

  by Phizzy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a couple of times while i was anti-witnessing i have made a fundamental mistake, which was to try to show the believer that it was neither intellectually nor scientifically necessary for there to be a creator.

  the discussion got to this point because i said i was an atheist.. this latest time was talking to a street preacher who was not a j.w, but he did the same thing they do, i.e not really listen to the points i made, tried to rubbish science etc.. i have decided when, (if), this happens again i shall say something along the lines of " whoa there !

  you have done a huge leap from talking about your bible god to the matter of a creator, if i concede there was a creator, how can you prove it was your god ?".

  I'm a Christian, but I agree: Saying you don't believe in God shuts down the whole conversation. The most powerful way to reverse witness is to show that their own Bible contradicts their doctrine.

  I think it would be sent to your old email, not the one you want to change it to. Is that the one you're checking?

  Have you researched this beyond your assumptions?

  https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-fcc-alert-system/

  It is a regulated system that can't be used for political or other similar purposes.

"I felt violated", said 29 year old Shealyn. "Now he's found a way to break into people's safe spaces. Even Hussein never did that." Starting at 2:18, many US citizens found their phones emblazoned with the message, "This is a test of the National Wireless Emergency Alert system. No action is needed."

  No, you don't. Even if you did need them, you don't need them. Is she a PIMI? Then she should be preparing ahead of time to comment, which is insanely easy with the current grade school level material. She wouldn't even know such a document exists. Is she PIMO? Then why in the world would she be so eager to comment at this particular meeting, and if she was why use a WT canned answer? If there's more to your request, now's the Time to share it. And no, I haven't seen any answer sheets leaked in quite a long time.

  one of our friends in canada posted the following message to their circle of friends.

  "in our meeting last night, the coordinator read a letter from the canadian branch about the reorganized territories.

  all the territories in the fraser valley from hope to vancouver, about a hundred miles in all, have been reorganized to create larger congregations and improve the use of kingdom halls.
