  sorry but i really feel like i need to rant right now.

  recently my dad was made an elder so my family has been doing a lot more "theocratic" activities lately.

  every morning i wake up and put on my itchy dress and stupid makeup and heels and then pretend that i love what i'm doing and that everybody is my friend when in reality i feel horrible and all the other teenage girls at my hall hate me for some reason.

  School will broaden your scope on what real social interaction is and you'll feel less lonely. Fight for that!

  Hey! Just take a deep breath and think in good things to come, believe me that NOTHING ever stays always the same... I think a very good first move is trying to get normal schooling, at all costs, social services can help you in that!!!

  Evidence of Human Activity in Northern Siberia 45,000 years ago.

  by fulltimestudent in

  this information makes the biblical dating of human origins a sad joke.

  quote: " when they dated the remains, the researchers got another surprise: the mammoth died 45,000 years ago.

  that means that humans lived in the arctic more than 10,000 years earlier than scientists believed, according to a new study.

  Who's talking evolution here??? We are discussing freak bible "chronology" and "6000 years human history"...

  WT Study 1/10/16 Encouraging Child Baptism And More Nonsense

  by JW_Rogue in

  i've noticed that each wt lesson really only has one or two points they want remembered.

  normally they build up to these by about the third subheading.

  this week's lesson though was different, the main point was insidiously made through an experience in the first paragraph:.

  There's not much option as a child to defy what your parents think is the best for you... Even if that (getting baptized) it's a "life time" decision, baptized or not my patented would prevent me from participating in Christmas, birthdays, and interaction wit non-jw family and other activities (sports, being class president, Etc), it adds you a special burden (specially if you are an smart boy) thinking that you must behave as an true representative of the only true religion, and the angst of not waste time in any "useless" activity like a hobby... Blood guilt if you dare not to knock on doors and pretend that you did?... Because after being baptized were are supposed to even gave up our life for "the kingdom"...

  Basically the WT is saying that the earlier you got your children baptized the thoughter will be for them to eventually break free... The sooner you starting to preach full time, less chances are that you get to college and the farther from this Worldly wicked system

  Children baptism ruined my life when I was 10 :(

  I quoted to my father when we fight about me dating a non-jw the fact that I supposedly choose something "for life"at 10 that were affecting me 10 years later in a matter that I didn't even suspect I could feel: loving a girl and wanting to date her... Would you allow to marry someone at 10? So why it's OK to make such a "decision" as baptism that will affect every other decision in life after???!!!

  my father then said... "You dating a non-jw girl it's like me cheating on your mom..." Just imagine what happened a year later between my father and a young pioneer lady that had been intimate friend of my whole family... Sad sad sad... STOP RUINING THE CHILDRENS LIFE AHEAD, everything could be so much easy if I didn't baptize :(

  This was a message I sent to a zealous witness in Chile who formerly had blocked me

  below is a message i sent to a witness in chile.

  i have included it in its raw form with spelling mistakes included.

  i was deep in thought this evening so i thought i would ask you directly to get your honest opinion on it, and i guess if you block me then that's ok.. seriously were you totally unaware that the chilean flag is placed inside the kingdom halls to avoid having to pay a fine during fiestas patrias celebrations (september 18-19).

  What happens finally? If you know where your friend lives I would maybe deliver your message physically, that would be striking I think...

  Assembly Hall selling HVAC machines

  not going to disclose a whole lot of details because it will implicate someone else without their consent.

  someone very close to me, who is a non-baptized publisher (for almost 3 years now), went to work to the local assembly hall.

  recently, they removed the existing hvac machines and replaced them with new ones.

  Years ago I was in charge of the sound equipment, and discovered and old power mixer amplifier. It was a 70's model made with wood and solid metal parts, it weighed a ton!... And was in perfect functions conditions, just some dust. I asked the elders if I could take it and they replied that otherwise it would be dumped. I restored it and had it with me some time, it sounded GREAT. Unfortunately I lent it to a rural congregation just mont before I leave, so they are still using it... I want it back to amplify my (future) turntable!!! Luckily I think that taking it back it's still possible

  I would translate "lo que nos quieras dar" as "whatever you offer" in the way we use "I don't give a ..."
