so says the imf.
do we declare another wts prediction as false prophecy yet?
But, but, but...There can't be another world power...
i think these boards are great!
it gives us the opportunity to express our feelings, our viewpoints, our concerns, etc.
when we were jws we could not freely do any of that.
It's the content here that has kept me sane.
I can't let this horrible cult ruin my life.
this was inspired by terry's thread.... it is something that raises many questions about the jw belief system.. .
for one thing - the bible certainly explains all the details of the christ birth.
it certainly does not tell people to avoid celebrating it with feasts, customs, etc.
The simple reason is that it makes Jehovah sad now.
the first trailer has been released!
true confession - i'm kind of a geek, always loved star wars and it gave me a bit of a lady boner.
anyone who knows the franchise is probably familiar with the character wedge antilles.
I think we can pretty much assume that the effects and entertainment factor will be great.
The story? We'll have to see.
I only risk personal health in a movie theater on special occasions.
This will be one of those times, as were the JJ Star Trek offerings and last week, "Interstellar".
Also, "Jar Jar Abrams" made me laugh...
hello to all.
i've been on this site for a couple of weeks now posting here and there but have not had the opportunity to read about many of the regular members and what led up to their leaving the wt.. i understand that some of you (i'm part of this club) may not be able to disclose many details and i can appreciate that.. i'd love to hear what was it that finally made you renounce what is and hopefully soon to be "was" the wt.. i truly look forward to having good discussions.. thank you to all for your kind participation.. .
The lack of love coupled with obvious hypocricy.
That caused me to stop service and regularly attending.
My extensive, unauthorized research on "Satan's Internet"© kept me from returning
so recently, several over-righteous ones in the cong were discussing "how amazing it felt when they got baptised".
statements like "how awesome did it feel as you got raised back out of the water?!".
or the classic "i felt so close to jehovah as i came out of the pool"!.
Disappointed, if I really think back.
Nothing happened.
( unless you include this as the lead-in to 25 years of disaster )
my mom tells me last night that she and 'the group' is going out tomorrow.
[ god, she cant talk about anything else but her 'freinds'].
omg why????
I never did any holiday witnessing.
I heard an experience of a witnesses at the door on Christmas.
The householder said: "Jesus Christ!! Even on Christmas"!!
Then slams the door.
Perfect
in the new book released at the witnesses assemblies this year , " keep yourselves in god's love " notice this bit of counsel given on possible separations in marriage .
it says on pg.
221 , " absolute endangerment of spiritual life.
I love seeing these quality thread resurfacing.

I expected my wife to leave me as soon as I had the courage to vocalize my concerns and reasons for making my EXIT.
She has assured me that we will stay together. I do nothing to stop her from attending and "Watchtower church" meetings or functions. No surprises or mysterious car problems on meeting days from me.
All I do is talk and share truth.
Sometimes she listens, although she does quickly forget.
many jws enjoy turkey on thanksgiving day and are often discreet about their indulgences.
why be two faced?
why try to excuse it?.
It's not OK to have Thanksgiving, but being a member of the UN for ten years gets a PASS?
That makes sense...
Stupid Watchtower.
