this book was suggested to me.
i couldn't put it down.
it isn't aimed at any religion but it does peg the abuse factor within them all.
This book was suggested to me. I couldn't put it down. It isn't aimed at any religion but it does peg the abuse factor within them all. If you have JW family you can keep the book laying around or underline key points and they cannot balk since it isn't apostate.
the authors are, David Johnson and Jeff Van Vonderen
let me know what you think.
the borg might not fall and disappear, but it's sure heading into the oblivion.
they predicted their future in last week's study.. last week during the cong book study they mentioned the following:.
15. to illustrate: a supertanker or a freight train might be awesome in terms of size and power.
I agree with many here on the matter of kids leaving for these reasons
1. There are no JW dating potentials.
2. JW Kids are depressed losing the normal JW friends to the "world"
3. Kids are on the Internet and are not scared of apostates the way the old timers are.
4. Kids have no patience for the hate speeches of the anti gay rhetoric. Since many are friends with gay kids in school.
5. Meetings are boring to them.
6. Tons of their JW parents are getting divorced leaving kids more open to their own minds and losing respect for authority.
7. They want money. Education is necessary for that. I think the parents want their kids to have money too since they are carrying the burden of their own parents ....who were suppose to never die.
8. Being a JW is not fun. No activities and the halls are mostly fighting each other now so not as many are getting together. At least where i am from.
9. Other JW kids have successful double lives. They recruit too. LoL
10. Teen JW girls do not want the male dominated life they watched their mother serve. Chauvanists are out.
11. The website and tv channel are not impressive to the young people. I would say the tv shows are ridiculous to them and the web site is just a normal web site not a miracle.
12. any new teens that stay in and marry in will have an even higher divorce and df rate then i am watching their parents have.
13. Teens cant even dry hump without getting dfd. ....lol. neither can adults. ..Loop hole gone.
for some reason ever time i see term, "elder" capitalized i feel like correcting it.
they do not deserve that capital letter.
they are lowercase as a breed.
Yes but it isn't suppose to be a title. ...
Cough cough...

does anyone have any news about charles sinutko, who give the infamous "stay alive till '75" talk?
forty years have passed since then, so is he still alive and still with the watchtower?
anyone heard anything?.
i thought we needed carpenters and plumbers in paradise...oh well... the hypocrisy.
to all bodies of elders in the united states branch territoryre: experienced attorneys and paralegals needed at bethel.
dear brothers:.
They should start a special door to door campaign seeking out worldly lawyers for converting. It could be a new presentation at the door.
hello, is the lawyer of the house available?
ever had this thought about an upcoming movie?.
and then i would feel guilty for putting my entertainment desires ahead of god's kingdom.. .
shameless!.
so manipulaitve.

Yes Sinutko was the same overseer to give the, "stay alive till 75 talk" I talk I can no longer find online...grrrr. Anyway he sang professionally and I belive there was an article written about him. I think he is no longer alive .....he finished the circuit work and went to live in CA.
What a kook.
several months ago we had the visit of our c.o.
and his thursday night talked included rants covering several topics, with an especially long winded diatribe against "higher education".
he is pretty good speaker , and his choice of illustrations seemed to win an emotional response from the audience that ive never seen with regard to that subject.. he began the discussion with how concerned the governing body was with the decision some parents have made to send their kids to college.
I do think depending where you live the anti college rule will fall on deaf ears. Many of our parents are tired of living as if the end is coming tomorrow ....since it never did. We don't want to live that way anymore. Our kids will be prepared.
maybe poorer congregations that could not afford college for their kids will take a righteous stand...since why not?
Otherwise I hear and see most kids becoming college bound.
