  jw.org getting out of hand

  it seems the watchtower staff have made a runaway train with the introduction of the mark jw.org.. the combination of using a gadget driven platform and the fact that the common jw is low educated and easely influenced.

  by new occurrings in their religion makes the situation getting out of hand.. proof: gb members wearing jw.org buttons during their speech, gifts with jw.org are given away, umbrellas with the jw.org are available.

  jw.org is more important then god, his son and the gospel.. it's the gadget and the jw.org mark that counts.. i am so happy my grandparents are not confronted with these idiots.. it's a runaway train heading to the end of the track.. gorby .

  Writing YA book about JWs...

  so i'm a amateur writer, though i lost my muse for the last story i was working on.

  but i had a good idea for a new young adult book that won't just be fun to read, it will help people learn ttatt.

  it would be about six or eight teenagers with jw parents, but they all lead double lives at school and away from the congregation.. i don't have many plot ideas yet though, so i'm trying to find someone to co write this with.

  I started writing this under the working title of Our Secret Lives. Here's the prologue.

  Logan Westenkamp used to just be a ordinary teenager. He was fifteen, nearly sixteen, lived in Long Beach, California, and used to never get in trouble. Emphasis on used to, but more on that later. But as he grew older and started thinking for himself more, not accepting everything he was told, he wanted more freedom. And that's when the problems started.

  Abigail "Abi" Brand had a common bond with Logan. They were both German-American, and both had parents who were Jehovah's Witnesses. And they both hated that. Abi's German accent was strong, like Logan's, and it made the two stand out in school, and sometimes it made the cool kids pick on them. But what really got the two teens bullied was the religion. Both Abi and Logan didn't want to be part of the Witnesses. But you couldn't leave the religion until you were eighteen, and both would be stuck for a bit longer until they were old enough. Why didn't they like it? Well, that will be explained later.

  Tara Hill was the opposite of Abi. She was popular in school, one of the 'cool girls'. All the boys wanted to date her. And most of the girls envied her good looks and rich family. But what they didn't know was that she was a Witness too, albeit secretly. And she wanted out just as much as Abi and Logan did. Tara, like Logan, just wanted freedom; Freedom to date, freedom to wear what she wanted, and most of all, freedom to choose her own religion.

  Demetrius "DJ" Jones wants to fight in the UFC one day. He practices in secret, hoping to one day join his favorite fighter, TJ Dillashaw, in the Bantamweight division. But with his parents causing problems for him, he may have to give up his martial arts for good.

  Jeremy Zeller, the school's best athlete, is in the same position as DJ. Jeremy grew up loving hockey and hoped to one day play in the NHL, but after being forced off the hockey team by his Witness parents, he learns the hard way that life isn't always fair. With a junior hockey contract on the line for the young star, it's either convince his parents to play or do it in secret.

  Finally, there was the quiet girl. Amity Morgan, the one no one knew anything about. The girl who didn't have friends, partly due to Tara and the other popular girls.

  But when things get tough with their parents, all of these teens band together, living a secret life where they have the one thing they want: freedom.

  Post here or PM me if interested.

  do you believe it exists?.

  when you get "a hunch", do you ignore or listen to it?

  What was your out of control, sobbing moment with this stupid religion?

  i have often laughed at public outpourings of emotion.

  just google mike schmidt"s retirement speech in which he loses it and blithers on about his career.

  completely douche chilling.. but to be honest, i had a moment recently when i literally balled my eyes out.

  For me it's had to be when my parents said I can't go after my dream of becoming a football star because I wouldn't be able to make meetings and because I'd have worldly teammates. I wanted to start off playing for Philadelphia Union Academy and eventually make it to the big leagues and play for Chelsea or Arsenal, and represent USA in the World Cup. But now none of that is going to come true because I can't start playing as a youth, because of meetings...

  Either that or the time my parents said I couldn't like Warhammer 40k or I'd be possesed by demons.

  pope francis assures atheists: you dont have to believe in god to go to heaven.

  http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/pope-francis-assures-atheists-you-dont-have-to-believe-in-god-to-go-to-heaven-8810062.html.

  in comments likely to enhance his progressive reputation, pope francis has written a long, open letter to the founder of la repubblica newspaper, eugenio scalfari, stating that non-believers would be forgiven by god if they followed their consciences.. responding to a list of questions published in the paper by mr scalfari, who is not a roman catholic, francis wrote: you ask me if the god of the christians forgives those who dont believe and who dont seek the faith.

  application for new british headquarters to be submitted within 2 weeks.

  the boys from bethel have been busy planning their new luxurius residence in chelmsford ,essex .the deal to purchuase the new land was in the region of 10million all financed from struggling jehovah's witnesses across the country .please read the news article and let me know what you think.. .

  instead of building in chelmsford how about building in a less affluent area "where the need is great", like cumbernauld in north larnakshire.

  Thinking of Bethel, when this new place opens we should send someone from this site there to join and then we'll have a double agent telling us what the WTBTS is doing.

  Rules on blood also apply to our pets

  while researching something else, i came across these two comments from a wt on how we should view the blood issue, when it comes to our pets.. *** w64 2/15 p. 127 questions from readers ***.

  "would it be a violation of the scriptures for a christian to permit a veterinarian to give blood transfusions to a pet?

  by all means, to do so would be a violation of the scriptures.".
