It's so sad that some have put all their "stock" in the idea that they will not die, and as a consequence have not chased after what their dreams were/are.

YOU CAN TELL THEY'RE A WITNESS BECAUSE...

have you ever noticed someone that just had to be a witness?

for example, you're on vacation in a very warm climate and you see 2 men dressed in suits....they must be witnesses.

or you go to a sporting event and you see a group of guys suddenly run for the nearest bathroom and the national anthem is just about to be played....they must be witnesses.

yeah, I saw this couple on the beach once they were naked but they were reading the WT. Definitely witnesses

Protest and Demonstrations

ever since leaving the borg i've had the pleasure of behind involved in several protest marches and demonstrations.

being in nyc presents many causes to speak out against.

many folks outside of nyc may love/like rudy g, the formal mayor/dictator of the city, but he was the subject of many protest rallies while he served for two terms.

Dinkins was a real prize. The streets of NYC were not safe during his tenure. What city leaders Al Sharpton?

Can't Get it Through Their Thick Skulls

by dobby in

my husband and i have been pulling away from the jw's for almost a year now and we have had very frank discussions with family and friends as to the reason why.. however, they can't seem to get it through their heads that we are unhappy with the wt beliefs, doctrines, essentially the "truth".

this despite our voicing strong opinions on the blood issue, child abuse issue, generation, false predictions etc.. even today my mom-in-law said, "you just gotta serve jah despite the people" you see about four years ago we had a terrible falling out with some mean and deceitful elders and everyone thinks that is why we are inactive.

but it's not, we kept going to the meetings for three years after that event.. and if it is not the elder thing, my friends blame my dysfunctional childhood (namely stepfather) for turning me against the truth, "it's not the truth you can't blame jah, you just didn't have a happy family, blah, blah, blah...".

Dear Dobby

Yes we are going through the same exact thing. They ("the friends") just don't get it
