  Reflections - Updating MD card - did you stop updating?

  by berrygerry in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  i finally removed my md card from my wallet yesterday.. although we were encouraged to create a new card annually, i had an internal hesitation, and a lack of enthusiam for it, as well as the meaningless cards for my kids.. the card that was pulled from my wallet was dated 1994. i obviously had some unconscious, if not conscious, problems with the borg, maybe with the 1995 generations bs.. did others stop updating their cards long before exiting?.

  I bet signing and maintaining one's "Advanced Medical Directives" is near the top of the list of first things stopped by nearly everyone that leaves.

  Wouldn't be surprised if it was done subconsiously by most, either.

  When I first started studying in '88, the older couple were very vocal about how wrong Star Trek was.

  I should have bailed...

  No chance.

  I was "listening in" on the phone as my still in wife was.

  They said "3200" for the campaign as an announcement.

  how many normal people would only go to the dub website?

  by purrpurr in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  all this campaign going on got me to thinking, a normal person having received a tract about the jw website, would they only go to that one website if they were in any way interested?

  would they really not click on any links that would also appear about jw's?

  would they really not read about them from other sources too?.

  I'll have you know "they" just announced that 3600 people have asked for personal visits from the web campaign...

  Yes, 3600!

  They didn't have the nerve to say if this was worldwide or not...

  I don't know how that's supposed to be impressive.

  October 4/5 2014 - Armageddon date!

  my mother has waived her shunning of me as she is seriously ill. her elders have classed the situation as a 'dire family circumstance' and.

  all restrictions have been lifted.

  some crazy hypocritical reasonings on the elder's part but who cares?

  I knew someone that would get worked up every October, thinking the end was "this year".

  The end did not come and they found themselves in a mental institution immediately after.

  I cannot recall the number of times this one was intitutionalized, but it's well over 20.

  "I don't care if it's teachings are false, I'd never leave because it's the best way of life"

  have you ever heard that statement?

  i have heard it many times and i just don't know what to do with it.

  they are chosing a to live a lie because they like the lifestyle.

  There was an elder in my last cong that would include some statement in his public prayers very similar to what's been said here.

  I always bothered me. It caused me to question all of my beliefs and view them as possibly being wrong.

  In time, I found that they were all wrong and it does cause anger and frustration.
