  A possible reason WHY, the 'New System' was never a Reality to us.

  by gumby in

  perhaps i'm wrong, but this is a possible explanation.i was always taught that a new system would soon replace the old one.

  in this new system there would be no more war, everyone would eat from his own 'fig tree', they would build houses and love one another.. .

  in every publication that depicted this new system.....it was a picture of a beautiful lush productive earth, people were carrying baskets of vegetables and fruit walking together being of different decent, the men were bulding houses with smiles on their faces, and the children were playing with the animals.

  You never see any technology or earth friendly industries.

  There are no vehicles, no electronic devices, no methods of communication.

  And I DEFY you to find even ONE picture of a bong in the new system.

  when you were babtized and dedicated did you feel a void?

  by swiftbreeze in

  this has always troubled me:.

  i was studying to be babtized although i was raised around the "truth" i still had to have an official study.

  so i was taught that i had to go to jehovah in prayer stating my desire to be dedicated and babtized.

  Well, I tried praying for help when I was 12 or 13. I thought Gee Hoover was gonna get me for some of the stuff I was doing at that age, and I wanted His help in stopping such behaviors. The help never came. I felt the void. So I kinda say 'screw this praying crap'. And I haven't wasted my time with it for ages.

Lisa, how ar is it to Greenville? Isn't that just a ways east of Dallas along I-30? One of my customers has an office there. Not sure if they're hiring in Texass right now, but ...

  Fighting experience?

  by bebu in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the other night our son confessed that he had been in an after-school fight last friday.

  some small kid was irritated with my son (who's nearly 14) and called on the services of a big friend to beat up my son.

  (i actually saw the fight (sort of) as i drove past the school that day to go do errands, and pondered on whether i should stop... i didn't... because i actually wasn't sure it was a fight; it was a lot of kids in a loose crowd).

  I learned the following: 1. Don't go looking for fights. They'll find you soon enough on their own. 2. When a fight comes your way, don't run from it. Face it head on like a man. Kick ass and take numbers.

  Why they might not be annoying They don't smoke or excessively drink alcohol.

  Well, I find that to be pretty damn annoying. How can you really trust and accept folks who don't get lit, OC?

  An Elder Told Me.... Many To Be Disfellowshipped Soon...

  by Doubtfully Yours in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  an elder told me the book is jehovah's latest provision to cleanse his organization.. he said soon all people that have drifted, inactives, and others baptized and not complying with the biblical mandates for a jw, will be visited and given an option to shape up or ship out.. he said that if the person refuses the help offered by the congregation they'll be notified of the date of disfellowshipping and given time to appeal the decision.. he was so happy stating that this way jehovah's organization was preparing for the final clean-up before armageddon.

  he sounded so convincing that it almost made perfect sense what he was saying.

  i got goose bumps listening to his reasoning.. dy

  Not to be a wet blanket or anything, but who really gives a rat's ass? Let 'em cleanse their decrepit organization. The Kool Aid line forms over there.
