THOSE WHO ARENT JEHOVAH WITNESSES

those who aren't in the truth i feel much pity for you.

all of you are filled with much hatred and anger that all you can do is blast out of your stupid mouths horrible things about the one true religion.

i feel sorry for you that you will not have ever lasting life.

I feel sorry for you that you will not have ever lasting life. Don't waste your pity on those of us who are choosing to live an intentional and fulfilled life, instead of following a script that was written for us. If you are really part of "the true religion" did you ever ask yourself why you are so angry?

Letter To My Parents - Please Offer Critique! Thanks!

dear mom & dad,.

heres the stuff that i said i would send concerning the 587/607bce issue, as well as some other stuff that you requested dad.

the archeological/astronomical stuff is probably going to come across as very boring, but it is truly a help in settling the 587/607bce issue.

Agnes

No disrespect intended, but I too feel it's too long. Agnes

Would you help JW family members?

by greendawn in

if your jw family members were hurt by someone physically, or financially (ripped off), emotionally or otherwise would you feel sympathy for them and help them?

Agnes

I would help a stranger who had been hurt physically which is more than I can say for my JW neigbors who did nothing when one of my family members was recently hurt and an ambulance came to our home. They were home, but didn't peek out their doors, call, or ever mention it!

I would have to give some careful consideration to helping any of them financially. Agnes

My Dad died this evening

by Mulan in

i thought i would let you know that my dad, passed away a little while ago, tonight, january 23. they called me at 6pm to tell me.

he had been failing rapidly for the past month, and had completely lost his hearing and was totally blind.

the dementia was extreme too, and he still knew me on thursday, but didn't wake up to know me in the following days.

Agnes

I don't post very often Mulan, but I have always enjoyed reading your posts. You seem like such a kind and generous person and I am so sorry to hear of your loss and sadness. Please accept my sincere condolences. Agnes

Scarce at the kingdom hall

by justice for all in

jw
friends

i heard that it was scarce at the kingdom hall last thursday night.

the speaker was asking those in attendance to look around and see who was missing and to call them and encourage them to come back to the meetings.

interesting huh?

Agnes

They're probably busy getting ready for their pseudo Christmas celebration. Agnes

Where is the love?

by sweet tee in

jw's are taught that their love is what identifies them as true christians.

but typing on another thread let me to this discovery:.

what i expected from witness friends and what i expect from my friends now are totally different.

Agnes

I must tell you that out of all of the JW's that I personally know: relatives, neighbors, and a cquaintances that only one exhibits any sign of being a genuinely loving person. My family and I have been repeatedly snubbed by the "holier than thou" and I'm sure it has as much to do with their insecurities as it does with the fact that they know there isn't a chance that they could ever convert us. If they were truly loving and smart, they would show their love regardless of what their expectations were. They are only nice and aknowledge me and my family when they want to borrow or sell us something. It's all conditional... Agnes

I think I just got the total experience

by La Capra in

i tried to go to walmart this morning.. this story's origin began last april, when, just days before my final exams, my gateway laptop went nuts.

as a third year law student, having taken her exams for the the entire duration on computer, the notion of changing my exam approach to bluebook was out of the question.. i was able to obtain, for the short term, another laptop and survived third year just fine.. however, it took three rounds of repairs to get my computer back in working order for more than three weeks (gateway kept replacing the hard drive, but it was the motherboard that was failing-good news was that they only charged me for one disk drive, and not for the mother board eventually installed.).

and i am not the kind of person that feels comfortable with the "what ifs" so when about a few days ago, my gateway laptop went to a screen that i only saw before each of the three prior "deaths," i decided that my peace of mind was worth many hundreds of dollars and decided to get a "backup" laptop, considering i have two more rounds of exams and the bar exam through which i need a reliable computer.. i tried to order the sub-500 dell, but it wouldn't arrive in time for december's exams, so i started looking at the other offers out and about.. that meant i actually had to go to a brick and mortar establishment so i would have a computer in hand, rather than in some shipping queue.. i am not much of a consumer.

There are those of us that want a "good deal" enough to subject ourselves to what you experienced this morning (JW & non-JW), but it certainly isn't for everyone as you can attest. I remember years ago doing the after Thanksgiving sales at a large mall with a group of girlfriends...and that was fun, but it was nothing like the situation you described! There were crowds, but it wasn't a bit scary.

What you experienced had more to do with a lot of the clientele that Wal-mart can attract and the hype created by the retail industry (IMHO). That being said, I do occasionally shop there, but I purposely avoid the times that I know the store will be crowded.

Thanks for sharing your experience...my heart was pounding as I read it. Agnes
