  dancing and wining and dining and wooing his way into my heart for the past couple of months.http://www.harrisonresort.com/ ) it rained most of the weekend and we did not seem to notice ... hmmmm.... it seems estee is officially part of a "couple" now .... *sigh* .

  The government of the New System is already in place

  by truthseeker in

  2. friends

  are you still waiting for god's government to begin ruling?

  are you still hoping that divine rulership is nearly here?

  do you long for the time when jehovah will 'set matters staright among the nations'?.

  one of the reasons I got out of that " government" was that it started too much to look like communist party - don`t miss meetings, agree with all political directives, do not ask questions, do what you are told and tell everybody how happy you are.

  if not, we`ll punish you.

  What Bugs You The Most About Jehovah's Witnesses?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  is it the theology?

  is it the smugness that many witnesses have?

  is it the multitude of false prophecies and errors?

  shamus,

  what about this - due to a failure of the wt society to live up to MY high standards of love, compassion and honesty, I can no longer in a good conscience be associated with jehovah`s witnesses.my hand of friendship is however still extended to honest hearted ones who wish to remain my friends and hear true reasons for my leaving.

  just a thought.

  take care and all the best to you.

  hi J.C.

  Thank you very much for this good post.it is truly amazing how wt on one hand criticise catholic church that it does not stand to scrutiny yet there own words condemn them.

  regarding all that dates and calculating times that wt does, do you think society took into consideration the fact that according to jewish calculation of time every 3,6,8,11,14,17 and 19th year one month would be added for each year in every 19th period.that would add some extra years wouldn`t it?

  please do not mind me asking do you know where did society find that there was" two years before entry of sin"? it is amazing how they come up with some statement and then they just add " convincing evidence" and many of us would accept without questioning.

  thank you again.

  Of Posting, Children and Other Things

  in the light of day, and over a nice cup of tea, sanity returns.

  the problems which once seemed so big are reduced to their correct proportions, and i am left feeling more than a little embarassed over my role in the events of the past 24 hours.

  i didn't realize i had a drama queen buried inside waiting to be activated.

  Big Tex,

  I don`t know you personally, but from what I have read it takes a big man to write something like this.you and your wife are very good and kind people. I wish you all the best.

  an attack on fbi headquarters brings a state of martial law to nyc; the military is called in to police the city.

  hi starfish,

  I `ve seen the movie and it made me think how everyday we walk a fine line in relationship with other people and how quickly some things can change. it is understandable for governments to act when there is either outside or inside treat, but how to avoid taking exclusive power and preventing human abuse is different thing.and human rights abuse will always be result in bigger or lesser degree, because wery often we act out of fear and not having all the facts.

  where I lived before we had to deal with national groups who were pretty hostile towards us and we always felt treatened.action was demanded from our government and they did act, but according to world comunity that action was deemed to harsh so at the end my country was punished and not the real bad guys.what is so sad is that after any kind of intervention like this all the trust between people is gone; they may be forced to live in peace but they will always hold the grudge against each other.

  so I guess it all goes with how much power authorities are given and how they use that power.
