  It was simply my nature to choose red. I was too curious to do otherwise. I don't miss it either.

  Dystopia, they are the hatemongers. We simply respond to their hatred with or without hatred ourselves. Do you know what they've done to us?

  • Stolen our future by telling us not to go to college or university.
  • Stolen our present by having us go door to door.
  • Molested some of us while the molesters are protected.
  • Isolating us from what would be good friends outside the religion.

  What would you do if you won a $300 million lottery

  by LevelThePlayingField in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  i would pay a highly rated, very expensive advertising company to run a 1 minute ad that ran nationwide primetime every night of the week until i spent $75 million of it telling how the wt was covering over pedophiles and for people to go to jwfacts.com for the truth about the truth.

  it would be done in very good taste, way better than political ads.

  i would spare no expense.

  And the things I would not get:

  A huge mansion. They are so impersonal. A three to four bedroom house would be just fine.

  Although I would get a quality automobile I would not get any luxury cars. I have no interest in showing off.

  Ten thousand dollar watches. My twenty dollar one is just fine.

  Toilets made of gold. I don't know if brown will match with it.

  You are tomato sauce...

  the wife and i went to the memorial strictly out of respect for my mother-in-law last night.

  luckily our 20 month-old grand-baby was restless and making noise, so i quickly volunteered to take him in the back.

  so i didn't have to listen to the presentation.

  Tomato sauce is yummy. I'm going to anoint the Flying Spaghetti Monster with it.

  New Memorial Songs Were Very Good, IMO

  by RubaDub in

  i guess we can agree to differ, but i personally found the new memorial songs (147, 149) to be very good, at least from a musical perspective.

  Is it possible that the songs were plagiarized?

  Two houses, two cars and one village.

  Then I would contribute a few million dollars to certain charities and organizations. A small amount to a little church that gave me free food when I needed it a large amount to a website dedicated to educating the public about global warming.

  Then I would invest in stocks from companies that are at the cutting edge of advanced technology.

  My Personal Invitation to the Celebration of the Lord's Evening Meal

  by TMS in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  by no means is this a heartwarming "experience" illustrating how an ex-jw skillfully "reached the heart" of a current jw, moving them to re-examine their belief system.

  that won't be my take on my half hour visit with an elder's wife last sunday.

  no one scored points here as is almost always the case in these interactions.. we live at the extreme southern tip of texas, on the u.s.-mexico border in a city of about 200,000. twenty years ago there were 20 spanish language congregations, 2 english.

  The title of this thread just made me think of something. Their phrase "The Lord's evening meal" is the only time that the JWs refer to Jesus as their Lord.

  New ways of Witnessing a bit creepy I think

  by Leela1 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so i started a new job and take the train everyday into the downtown core to my office.i have noticed everyday right when you leave the station there is a display case with watchtower pamphlets and magazines for the public to take.

  at first i didnt see the witnesses standing close by monitoring the display case but one day as i looked over a few feet away i saw a man and a woman dressed in their best field service attire chatting away.

  i found this a bit odd as when i was a witness we always went door to door.

  Leela1:

  So for any of you have left recently is this form of witnessing a new thing? Do they still go Door to Door as often or is there new and improved ways of witnessing ?

  ..
  

  I think that the cart work is their new and improved way of witnessing. It's sure more peaceful than the bull horns on top of cars that they once used during Rutherford's reign.

  "Don't make mountains out of molehills"

  by stephanie61092 in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  during the talk today, the speaker said, in reference to apostates, "don't make mountains out of molehills" and "all those who are do good to look up isaiah 43:18.

  " to save you trouble, it says: "do not remember the former things, and do not dwell on the past.".

  i'd like to see him read that scripture to the victims of the hundreds and hundreds of abuse cases the arc has unveiled from over the past 50 years.

  ...victims of the hundreds and hundreds of abuse cases the ARC has unveiled from over the past 50 years. Is that a molehill?

  More like an abysmal pit.
