hello friends... just found out that at the recent one day assembly they are now really discouraging people from getting married!!!!!

they will lose young ones like crazy if they start telling them that they cannot get married...what are these sexually frusterated young people to do??

you cannot masterbate, you cannot have sex outside of marriage (not that i would encourage it either, but...), now you cannot even get married?????

Do NOT go to college, system is coming to an end, EVEN in 1969!!!!!

if you are a young person, you also need to face the fact that.

you will never grow old in this present system of things... .all evidence in fulfillment of bible prophecy indicates that this corrupt system is due to end in a few years... as a young person you will never fulfill any career that this system offers.

if you are in high school and thinking about a college education, it means at least four, perhaps even six or eight more years to graduate into a specialized career.

i was just visited with a memorial invite, and the inviter was accompanied by a bethelite.

i told her that i heard the printing was no longer done there, all moved to walkill.

she said the reason they did that was because the new presses would not fit in the building in brooklyn.

Name "UNWRITTEN" Rules That JWs Are Supposed To Follow
by minimus in

2. friends
as with the scribes and pharisees, there are a number of unwritten rules that witnesses are supposed to follow.

here's a couple : "worldly" kids in society depictions are shown quite often wearing their baseball caps backwards.

jehovah's witness youths would not want to imitate that "look".

for the DF'd: did you confess or were you ratted out?
by kid-A in
1. jw
2. friends
looking back at the 10 or so cases of disfellowshipping i recall, i think only 1 was due to the orwellian borg spy system.

he was ratted out.. all the other cases were actually "confessions" by people that otherwise would have gotten away with it.

i am wondering is these percentages.
