Praise For Witnesses On Welfare Who Full Time Pioneer!
by minimus inthe watchtower has always praised witnesses who are on welfare and decided to pioneer.
many in my congregation, including my mom, were given kudos, praise and assembly parts because they took advantage of jehovah's provision through the government....did you notice this, or was it obvious to me because i was raised in the inner city and many people recieved government help?.

wow, sounds like an acid trip lol. where the heck are you that your seeing this ?
pretty soon they will start singing 'we will overcome' in the car on the way home from conventions and looking all glassy eyed .
this is a spectical, and id not jesus say those who pray in the public eye and want attention are having thier reward in full?
the bible says not to let your left hand know what your right is doing. These jws are bragging about imagined favor.
sad and disturbing.

Malaysian flight crash in Ukraine VS Flight 93 in Pennsylvania
by EndofMysteries ini wonder if anybody else has wondered about the differences between those 2 flights?
in the malaysian flight that crashed from 30,000 feet high, tons of wreckage, body parts, bodies, documents, etc, all over the place.
yet in the pa flight 93, just a crater in the ground, no bodies, everything supposedly vaporized.

What is up with the epidemic of sinkholes?
by EndofMysteries inthis is definitely not a thing where media is paying more attention, they are definitely on the rise.
too bad the gb didn't think of foretelling that years ago haha.
i have only 2 theories, 1 is perhaps it's due to pesticides and acid rain, and if that is the case, then it will get real bad.

New Article in JW.ORG "Should Christians Drink Tea?"
by EdenOne inshould christians drink tea?.
would you like a cup of tea?.
this seemingly innocent question has been asked countless times, and is regarded as a gesture of courtesy and hospitability in many parts of the world, in both eastern and western culture.

i love tea. must have 6 cups a day.
You know I always ponder stuff like this.....
who thought of taking a plant picking off the leaves drying them and soaking them in water and drinking it? who thought of
picking beans and 'roasting' them?
who thought of taking a plant pulling it out of the ground , discovering it had a big orange long root, , and eating it, and then calling it a carrot?
who thougt, gee I wonder what will happen if I take this plants leaves and dry them and inhale the smoke from burning it. hey I feel silly.
hey, lets smash these little bunch of round things and make juice.
oops dad died eating poision berries, wont do that now.
oh my look at this watery plant, it heals my itchy rash.....
there must have been angels showing humans how to do everything!

honestly, here in my area if someone is on welfare they have no money for gas to go in service so they then have to get a ride. thus burdening the owner of the car.
then since they have no money, the car group here in this area always has t o stop at some resturaunt of gas station to have coffee or eat, after all 2 hours is just too long to go without drinking or eating huh? so then if you dont have money, you sit and either wait in the car alone, or watch people eat. [no one had ever bought me so much as a cup of coffee. yea ignorant.]
i always thought, gee, if your a teacher of scripture, dont you have to be knowlegeable enough and have experience?
who is going to study with a child, an elderly person with fading memory, and someone with mental disabilities? people are not going to agree to a bible study with people like that.
seriously?
why are they even going out in service to begin with? they 'hold back and burden' the ones who do have the knowlege and ability.
yea, 300 pound people weighing down the car and breaking the springs. elderly people needing help getting in and out, poor ancient elderly senile people looking like homeless people goind to the doors yelling out a presentation, with vericose veins popping out of those bare legs with sandles on the ugliest feet ever, and rotting breath. because they need something to do after all. someones little kids taking a crying fit or getting crumbs all over the car, and always wanting to get out, and feeling like an idiot at the door with a child and two adults, well as if We arealy didnt feel like that.
oh the freaking joy.... not!
these are handicaps, stay home already.
all i see are magazine pushers, and elderly and mentaly handicaped people getting some daily entertainment and attention. and in one case I know of, nothing more than a adult sitter!

What is this latest letter from the GB about?
by stuckinarut2 inwe have been told this week that all in the elder and ms body will be read a letter from the gb about "make this the greatest month of activity ever"..... has anyone else had such a letter read out in their cong / servant body?.
i presume it will be all about "recommending strongly/insisting" that all these men should pioneer for the month?.

so the requirement to do this work of the organization, pioneer,
over steps the command to love your husband wife and children, honor your father and mother. it eliminates the requirement to
care for your family , teach your children valuable life skills, get to have a close relationship with them, know them help them with school spend time with your mate,
and other family members,or close friends. no one has time for much of anything outside this treadmill people are on. its no wonder no one has any freinds.
the taking up of everyones time outside of the days necessities, has led to disaster. people dont even know what thier own kids are up to.
how does anyone not see that?
work what is good [not required by men] toward ALL , especially those related to us in the faith.
yea not a single elder or atually anyone in the hall i left,
knows where i live, let alone anything about me.
they will come by not to see whats wrong and help, but to see why im not at the meeting. were all just assignments.
they dont have time to really care, they have enough burdens, they cant care, they would use thier emotions, and conscience, and thats a barrier for dicipline.
and maintain the standing they have to live up to for the society.
those in new york dont have the burden of families and jobs, its easy for them to say!

Scientists Can Now Cut HIV Out of Human DNA
by Dis-Member inhiv is a sneaky virus.
its mo involves integrating its own genes into your dna, so that even as antiretrovirals hold everything in check, hiv lurks quietly inside your cells.
now scientists have found a way to edit the virus straight out of the human genomea potential cure for even latent infections.. genome editing is powerful technique that has really come into its own lately, thanks to a remarkable dna-cutting protein that easily and precisely cuts out a particular dna sequence.

whats amazing is that while people have the talents for this science, they still wont use thier brains
to get rid of the objects we use for transportation, ie automobiles, that are
explosives on wheels lol..

I had a lovely weekend, how about everyone else??
by quellycatface inthere is life outside the organisation, which i have the pleasure to have experienced, since december.
i went to a lovely church wedding saturday, followed by a reception.
hic!!.

well thanks.
I dont know how to find people who i may have known in the past that may have left as well.
i had attended 7 congregations in my lifetime , yea 7. and not a single sister went out of her way to accept my freindship.
Id drive to sisters homes, to help when they were ill, cleaned for them, picked up their kids, ect, and
never got an invite or a phone call. one time my daughter ran away when she was 16 and not a single person on my congragation called me.
she was missing for a week. even my husband came home from work and did not ask if she was found! his own child.
my mom who is a hard core jw cant figure out why i dont have tons of freinds , she knows how her freinds think im ' so sweet'and giving
ect ect, becausue its to all of them who i send thinking of you cards to, and little gifts, they are all older and some are shut ins,
so i try to make them feel better by searching on line for free pretty music to make mixed cds for them.
but soon they will all be dead, they are all in thier 80scant exsist off that forever. even when my kids were small, i couldnt seem to get any jw children to give them the time of day.
i dont get it. I think its becasue we did not have a fancy house, we lived in a mobile home and did not own a house then. predudace.
now my kids are adults, and i wish i could find out who after all these years felt like me about these teachings, and wondered what was wrong .
of course im depressed, one big reason is my husband pays no attention to me and hadsnt slept with me in two years , i even sleep alone now.
not that mind that its nice having the whole bed,
but sex , i really really miss, its not like im unatractive to him, im only 5'4 and 120 pounds, and pretty healthy for a 52 yr old.
its his drinking.
he cant do anything. and doesnt care.
I have no one to talk to about what i am probably going to have to go through, if my mom decides to make a big deal out of my fading.
shes 72 my dad is 74, and they depend on me sometimes. its stressful.
i have a bad left foot that im trying to get figured out, and lower back that needs attention ,
if my husband had any affection for me hed give me a back rub.
so for now, that keeps me from getting a job , if I could even get one with no skills at all and no job ever.
I dont know how to search the web for x jws in my area. then maybe i can find them on facebook IF knew who they were.
so for now i just wait like i have my whole life , for what i have no idea, i guess death.
I only live for my 12 yr old grandaughter to see me twice a month.
i think im an outlier or something, or a geek or something, i dont know anyone who likes what i do. im an oddball i guess. i have the mac
and everyone else is on windows, lol. my son who is 25 and i have a very close relationship hes unique too, hes now in teneseee.
he says mom, we dont belong here ,
were in the wrong country! lol maybe we are!
