well they didn't fully teach me ttatt but helped me on the way.............. first thing i do in the morning after waking up is grinding some nice coffee beans and getting the brew started while i take a hot shower.
after the shower i like to clean out all the nasty wax out of my ears with a q-tip (or cotton swab for those not familiar with that term).. while cleaning out my ears i would think about how nice it is we have things like q-tips and coffee filters that make life more enjoyable but at the same time realize that somebody somewhere is in a factory making these.. i can't imagine a child saying "when i grow up i want to work in a factory making coffee filters".
the people who end up really doing that as adults did not set that to be a life goal.
It takes quite a bit of manpower to run the world.
Steel mining/refining ( steel is in nearly everything and it's widespread use since about 1874 is what built the industrial and tech revolutions ).
Who gets those jobs?

Then there's the job of burying all the 8 billion bodies, but that's another story.
Good morning RPP!
my situation right now is trying that how my friend and parents that the jw's are not the true religion.
i've shown numerous examples of flip flopped doctrine, false predicions, the validity of the jesus choosing the bible students in 1919 and more.
but it seems that although the recognize these mistakes they ask me, "aren't you happy the organization is making progress?
I'm trying to just ask them to prove they 100% have the truth using only the bible.
Their being unable to do this could make them start to think.
yes it happen again with our youngest son.
this last monday we got a letter from him telling us how unloving we are because we are no longer jw.
cult and not had kids.
I like the idea of writing a letter.

On a side note:
I also like the idea of ignoring the whole shunning thing.
Why respect their hideous and hateful arrangement?
you know, like a little "jwfacts" post-it.. you'd have to be stealthy.. .
I wish I could have done something before making my escape.
i'm just wondering if anyone has ever tried to contact inactive or disfellowshipped jws in their area.
there are many faders in our area.
there is also a large born-in family that had many leave who were labeled as apostates.
I've connected with many in and outside my area.
Went to the Tahoe gathering this past Summer.
It nice to talk things through with people that "get it".

i submitted a letter to the local k hall, explaining that i no longer believe my baptism as a jw is valid, based on my current bible knowlege.
and i wish to be no longer considered a baptised [in this organization], jw, but simply a christain who studies the bible.. and then would continue to attend meetings?.
they couldnt prevent me, its open to the public.. .
If you were baptized under the age of 18, could you hire a lawyer to nullify the "contract" with this corporation?
Minors can't enter into legal contracts~
that's a crazy question.. they really mean, "do you regret your decesion to leave".. ---.
it's just an ice breaker to become nosy into one's personal life.. ---.
btw, last time i was asked this, no, everytime i'm asked this i reply with: "i'm never coming back".. they seem to hear that.. .

another thread related but the title only says, "china is #1", which can mean anything and hence many may not view it who would be intersted in the world power shift.. for the first time since 1945 usa is #2 for economy.
