as you know, my twin daughters, recently got baptised.
they are now shunning me.
i hadn't seen them in person for about 3 weeks.
If they are True Blue witlesses, then they will grow true to breed: In all things they will know the cost of everything and the value of none. MONEY is always the bottom line.
Stop giving them money, because now they are presumably independent, it is not necessary to do business with them by giving them money.
This one will hurt: Don't buy them or any of their children presents, don't ecourage your grand children to associate with them. Tell the children about all the horrible things Jehovah does to people who don't want to be nasty like the JWS.

this is a non-religious question but i have always wondered why "so called" straight hetero women are always looking at or talking about another women' breast or breastsize.
you would never hear me or see me looking at or talking about another man's privates so i am curious ladies what gives.
i work with several married straight women and this is all i hear from them.
Since Breasts are readily visible, and most women know how to use this asset to influence the majority of men, they are bound to be interested in other women's breaasts.
I say it is like going to hear a concert pianist. You can always tell the pianists in the audience because they are intently watching the player's hands, for size and what he does with them.

how often do you hear:.
"how much longer can it go on?".
"i'm tired (of waiting, being ill, poor, disappointed)".

One remark I heard an old stalwart come out with:
"We'll keep these things as mementos SO IF ARMAGEDDON DOESN'T COME we can look back and remember when we are old."
Even oldtimers seem to be willing to doubt their own hopes now. Is this why the weak are viewed with such suspicion - they threaten to disconfirm the certainty of the others?
How do you think the general sense of disappointment is affecting the behavior of the witlesses?

no long...... "see you later's"....just bye bye.. .
my time has come to leave this place.
thanks for the memories, good times, and useful information.. .
THANKS TO YOU !!!
The UN thing really made me open my eyes under the vinegar.
Once life opens out, it gets harder to keep up with everybody and everything.
Say hello to old friends once in a while - they are always happy to hear from you. Everybody moves on.
Enjoy your journey.

we jsut found out that my step son is planning to apply to bethel when he turns 19. does anyone know what they currently require, what the current "salary" is, amount of time off per year, etc?
he hasn't turned 18 yet, but is already regular pioneering so he can qualify.
we are just curious.
Cal -
Tell him you want to get him used to the life there. Make out a weekly schedule TO THE MINUTE.
Set up a bell. When that goes off he must IMMEDIATELY stop what he is doing and go on to the next thing to do.
Reprimand him severely ( they do at Bethel) if he has not finished the previous task when the bell goes for him to stop.
Give him a work target to finish on a meeting night. If he has not completed it, make him miss the meeting to finish the task. (This happens at Bethel - the most notorious I heard was when the brothers were sent to the harvest of berries at WT farms. They had not picked their quota of berries, it was a meeting night. They were told to miss the meeting and keep picking. When it got dark, the brothers got jeep headlights shining over the fields to help them see. ( Of course the big bad churches would have made them feel in the dark for the berries, or the priests spheres)

i read it when a true blue witless.
it brought on a real crisis of faith.
my religion was derived from fertility and mystery cults?
I read it when a true blue witless. It brought on a real crisis of faith. My religion was derived from fertility and mystery cults? NEVER!! I studied harder did more preaching prayed hard. Then got kicked in the face by the elders. (Wasn't doing enough - I just didn't brag about it ; that was how I was brung up.)
That aside - if you have read it did it give you any meaningful insight?

could the watchtower and the jehovah's witnesses survive the discarding of their 1914 doctrine?
the doctrine that in 1914 the end of the gentile times took place, jesus took up rule in heaven.
for some reason the jws think the outbreak of world war i in 1914 is proof their prophetic calculations were correct.
Whenever I see a thread started by the "Scholar", I no longer enter or read.
Whenever a thread is invaded by the "Scholar", I do not reply to him, I leave never to return.
I do not enjoy banging my head on a pick ax just because it feels so good when you stop.

i received this from someone who recently attended the "keep your eye simple" special assembly day.. ----------------------------.
the title of this post was spoken by james pellechia, a bethel heavy.
after the mid afternoon song, bro pellechia reads the accounts report.. the circuit assembly account had a surplus of $3,000, the account balance was $47,000.

.
in a block of flats owned by a ha that i have seen, you just can't enter and would have to buzz a resident to be let in.. i wonder if this would affect their `work'?.
The law in some states dictates that a resident of a condo can only let you in to talk to him. He does not have the right to give permission to go to other doors.
At an ASSembly we were told we had to go back down to the front door and press the bell of the next resident to be let in again to speak to them. And so on...
