I have this very verse printed out and on my refrigerator.
For two years, now.
these well known words from the bible are so interesting!.
"come to me all who are toiling and loaded down, and i will refresh you"...etc.... .
is it refreshing to be witness?.

i saw she went under the handle of lovejahforever.....she said she is very smart and had cleaning jobs and was going in the ministry this morning.. when she told me she looked forward to beating me (she won the first game) she sid she was smart because she's a jehovah's witness.
my response was we will see how smart she is.. what next?
any suggestions??
You might have to step up your game, then!
Use words like:
worldy
doubter
weak
wicked
opposer
inactive
Save 'apostate' until it really helps your overall score!

from paragraph 17-. at that time, the life-saving direction that we receive from jehovah’s organization may not appear practical from a human standpoint.
all of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not.. i think i know what the instructions will be.it's nothing new.
The saddest day is when you fully awaken to TTATT.
I do believe the floodgates are opening.

It's nothing new. "Remain Loyal".
So what's the big deal?
This, the reason why that instruction is " sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not."
The Watchtower is collapsing. The money issues, real estate transactions, lack of growth, doctrinal failures, global child sexual abuse lawsuits, money grabs. It goes on and on. The Prince death and exposure of JW's as a cult in every comment section of every media story doesn't help.
"Staying Loyal" is the very last thing anyone should do when confronted with this hard reality that the leaders of the Watchtower are corrupt liars.
"we will not, however, incur the risk of pronouncing positively as to the name of antichrist; for if it were necessary that his name should be distinctly revealed in this present time, it would have been announced .
by him who beheld the apocalyptic vision.
for that was seen no very long time since, but almost in our day, towards the end of domitians's reign.
wow, what a surprise that was!.
i expected a warm welcome, as this was someone i have known for a very long time.. nope, uber disfellowshipped jw.
totally caught me off guard.
gee reading my earliest posts, i feel i arrived here needing a head transplant.
of course we can't ban our earliest posts, and we can't claim we were misquoted, but then again think about it, many of us come here with geoffrey jacksons brains and mind control ruling our thinking.. so i looked back at my earlier posts, and i imagined the man i was who made them.
to be honest i hardly recognized him, i feel infinitely a better and wiser less pious now, however i i don't feel so clever nor do i have such a deep religious faith.. anyway, the thread was made because i have often read posters past threads in order to get to know them better, but it never occurred to me to read my own past threads, and i learnt i am glad i had the guts to make my earlier posts, but the person that made them is in the far distant past.
I do like to review my earlier posts.
What I am having a hard time looking at are my own personal talk outlines that I have all in one folder on my computer.
I haven't looked at any of them. EVER.
Just like all the convention/assembly/ CO's meeting notes.
What I do enjoy, is references to my wife's convention notes of Summer '13. Specifically her notes on the 'Human Apostate', 'Mentally Diseased', 'Satan's kitchen helpers' bombshells that may be the biggest talk with awakening potential in JW history.
250 million years ago a plume of molten basalt gushed up from the earth's core.
it erupted in an area now known as the siberian traps - back then it was part of the supercontinent pangaea.
a curtain of lava a mile high and hundreds of miles long lit up the sky.
Yellowstone Caldera...
The clock is ticking.
for those of us who are hillary and bernie fans, which is the better outcome - to have donald trump as the republican's nomination whose unpopular with most americans?
or are we better off watching the chaos of a contested convention and the party eventually putting up someone weak like john kasic or jeb bush?
What makes you say Trump is "unpopular with most Americans"?
