Billions of Lives Depend On This?

by R.F. in

the greatest work of all time, never to be repeated, is supposedly done by jehovah's witnesses.

of course you know i'm referring to the door to door work they take part in.

so many lives are at stake and your life is dependent on if you "accept the good news" that they preach.. i surely don't believe this anymore.

So you saying God could have got some other better group, he didn't did he

And therein lies the root of the problem. God did not get "this group" and so the preaching work is null and void, just a total waste of time. They took it on themselves to declare that they were God's special people, but their record says otherwise.

I must say Goodbye for now

by KW13 in

this may not be a forever goodbye, but its certainly a goodbye to this stage of my life because i need to make real progress instead of just talking about it.

i may post the odd post on a rare occasion, but its not part of my plan really.. i posted a topic called the truth, which was originally going to be my farewell to this forum.

i think with my current situation, having a son and having a family that requires my attention it would be wise for me to move on in some shape or form, because i dont want the negativity of the watchtower society to rub off on my son and give him any of the grief and worries i had when i was growing up.

We'll miss you, but it's great that you've decided to spend more time on other activities! Isn't it great when you don't think about JW issues very often? Check in from time to time and just say "Hi"!

Spinal steroid injections.

by BrentR in

has anyone had multiple spinal steroid injections?

i am going to be having the second one in five months and i have read up on the side affects long and short term.

has anyone had longterm side affects yet?

SWALKER

I've been getting them for 4 years with no side effects so far. I just got one last week...it has been almost a year since the last one. Here's the thing...you have to change your activities. I can't participate in most of the sports that I used to enjoy. I walk daily and do some stretching exercises. Surgery is really not an option for me as there is a very strong probability that I would end up paralyzed. If you have just one disc involved, surgery may be the way to go. Check out the dr. and make sure he's one of the best in the country!!! Of all the people I've known that have had surgery, it's about 50/50 on the outcome. Some do great, others don't.

You won't believe this: a KH turned into a church!!!

by observador in

about two years ago i posted here some pictures of a kingdom hall for sale.

that was quite something to me; had never seen something like it; never thought i would.

always thought that a progressive, ever increasing true religion would be always building and expanding, not selling.. but what wasn't my surprise when i passed by the other day and the damn hall had been sold; worse, the old, glorious hall had become a, gasp... a church!!.

A KH that I once attended was also sold and used as a church! It's kind of funny to drive by and see it still in use!

1. as you don't have nhs, what happens if a sick child was in a medical emergency, is there a charity that covers them or will treatment sometimes get withheld if there is no insurance?.
