  Were Conventions, Asemblies and the Memorials boring to you?

  by HereIgo in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  conventions always just seemed like more of a vacation to me than anything else, especially if you had to travel out of town for it, but definitely were exhausting especially toward the end of each day.

  for some reason i didn't mind the special and circuit assemblies too much, probably because they seemed like more of a social event than anything else and only 1-2 days.

  the memorial always was kind of boring to me.

  i grew up in this religion, i was baptized at 14, married at 27, and now i'm 31. i'm also evolutionist and atheist.

  i wanted this to be the truth.

  i spent years as an apologist trying to reconcile everything.

  Welcome, schnell! 30 years a Watchtower Slave was the first ex-witness book I read. Don't even bother to talk to them, just ignore them and they will not care after a while.

  What about your relationship with your wife? Would that be impacted?

  His defining characteristic is power and domination but his main one is love.
  

  Defining is the same as main.

  ab, knowledgeable JWs are going to claim that other religions that have some of their doctrines did not have "the whole truth". They will also say that all the sects of Bible Students that started popping up during the Rutherford takeover are to be considered rebels to "God's organization" simply for separating themselves from it no matter if they believe in the exact same doctrines.

  Spy camera wanted, motion activated, wireless, etc.

  by FatFreek 2005 in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  okay, it doesn't have to be a spy camera.. it must be something wireless that send signals to my android smart phone.

  and some of those spy cameras seem to have fairly good features but they are also scary.

  their descriptions are obviously translated from some other language and i would worry about decent customer support.. i'd simply like to be notified the moment a certain cabinet door (actually, two doors) is opened.

  For a moment there I thought that it was StopTheTears that was going to convert to Islam. Whew.

  In any case, Islam teaches that Jesus will return in the last days to assist the Mahdi (Muslim messiah) in his war against the Muslim boogey man who's the equivalent to the Christian Antichrist. I guess that gives you both some common ground.

  Persistent means continuous. Does that mean that the Watchtower allows for occasional "spiritual association"?
