<p>alright, i'm gonna tell the truth.
my mom is a jw, and i attend the meetings.
i have a study also.
Xander can't be more right.
Being young (I'd like to think I am, I'm the same age as Xander) and having been brought up in the "truth" I know what you feel.
The best advice I can give you is: READ
Stay on this site, read the posts, read some other articles like on
Then you'll be able to figure out on your own if you want to stay there or not. If the decision doesn't come from you then it's not worth jack!
I said "a time" but yes it changed afterwards. Just wanted to clarify that a while back things were different (just like about everything else).

Dunno where you guys are from but I clearly remember a time when the publications had a price listed on it!
It was $.75 a peice.... $1.50 if you wanted the WT and A!
jw women have a greater need than jw men to stay ever vigilant and attentive of the watchtower's back and forth rules and regulations which they have the nerve to teach is "new light" from god.
depending on the "new light" from the governing body, if she doesn't scream during a rape, she will be charged by the elders as an adulteress ... someone who may have actually 'enjoyed' the violent act because of her silence.
if another jw woman was raped in 1969 and she didn't scream, she would not be disfellowshipped.

Why can't JW's just listen to our own conscience?
Well that would mean that you are actually thinking on your own... Don't think the elders would like that...
And hawkaw: I can see it too.... Back in school they were always telling us not to use double negatives... well lets try this...
WT Way: "No. If you don't scream you won't be disfellowshipped"
The non-double-negative way: "If you scream you will be disfellowshipped"Did they word it like that so that they had a loophole?
...that men are not allowed to grow beards?.
i don't know if this is true where you live, but where i used to live, it was against "policy" for brothers to have beards.
any man who did have one was looked down upon.
Little story on this: when I was still in the Borg a few years back but very inactive, I came back for one meeting (after about 2 years of absence). I had grown a goatie. One of the elders came to me with hand extended. I figured "Oh, he's gonna ask me where I was and what I did"... I was wrong.... he says: "Hum, you forgot to shave this morning?". I said: "No"... then turned my back to him to go talk to "sister hottie!"...
things must be getting pretty desperate.
i just heard some wonderful news of another boy being appointed a ministerial servant.
the comment was that even though he is young, he is very mature.another person, speaking of a different boy being appointed said that he had the added advantage of being home schooled and that really helped him to mature.
Hey I don't know which cong was the wrong one but I did the mike, sound, literature, lawn, map thing and was never appointed MS. Guess doing +75h in service during school months wasn't enough.
F%@# 'em!
i just installed a fresh new hard drive and windows xp professional on my computer.
i have to say, i love it!
it boots faster, shuts down faster, and the interface is great!
Simon: Are you using the XP that was sent with your MSDN sub (if you got it there)? Cuz I know that they distributed the Corporate version with the MSDN.. and that version doesn't have the Product Activation "feature".

Vivamus: Here's a tip that might give some new life to your computer.....
When you are not planning on using your computer for a good while.. do these little steps...
Go to Start, then Run and type this in
Rundll32.exe advapi32.dll,ProcessIdleTasks
Then hit OK and walk away.
Your computer will then do its scheduled cleanup, file reorganization, etc... Using that command line and a little utility (BootVis) I've managed to tweak my dual proc server to boot under 30 sec (and that includes initialization of my SCSI drives, starting all the services that are running, etc... nothing that a home computer should need).
If that still doesn't fix the speed thing, you can always turn the XP interface off and go back to how 2000 looked like.
wbts claims to speak for god.if we were to take their word for it we would have to believe in an un-intelligent supreme being(lol).i find it humerous to believe the universe is run by an all powerful retard.i hereby dedicate this thread to all the stupid things wbts figures god wants......god wants a 50% share of a bomb parts factory....god wants to hide pediphiles so wbts dosen`t look bad....god wants interest on money loaned out to the people who donated it....god wants a publishing company that alway`s changes its mind on what god has to say.....what other goofy things do you know about,that wbts figures god wants...outlaw
sorry but I must..
Fred: And look who controls you..... a bunch of child abusers... sorry but I'll go with the couch!
here's how to find an easter egg hidden in the "minesweeper" game that comes with windows:.
* open "minesweeper" (start / programs / accessories / games / minesweeper).
* type "xyzzy.".
Or one more??
Freecell this time.. again only for Windows version previous to XP.
