And normally, Book Studies were closer to home than the KH. That is pretty lame argument! Where are the brothers/sisters to meet when the "great tribulation" comes? Sheesh.

if it was really about the gas prices they would get rid of fs.
for most people at least in the us and probably most other westernized countries the trip to the local kh is not all that far.
fs is a different story!

on friday , i had finished working where i used to live about 60 miles south .
a witness lady who used to be in one of my old congregations was working the check out line at the grocery store.
naturally she recognized me , and she saw i was buying a anniversary card for my daughter and her husband.
Flipper, you did a great job, especially considering your time constraints. When I had my meeting with the elders earlier this year, I came up with this one that I like:
I believe that the Jehovah's Witnesses are an apostate organization, due to the UN and pedophile problems.

hello, just want to highly recommend the danish film, "worlds apart" now being screend at the tribeca film festival in new york.
the acting is superb and the filmakers represent the witnesses accurately (to the "t") withoug making them appear fanatic.
after all, these are people sincere in their beliefs no matter how absurd.
Is it subtitled or dubbed in English?
i mean seriously friends... what difference does this announcement make to the grand scheme of things?.
yes, it may be a huge change to the way they do things, but what effect will it really have?.
it is not like we can use it against them to prove that they are not a ucked fup horrible mind controlling cult.
News repeated often enough does get boring. Since it is a big change and noteworthy, like the elections in the U.S., 911, and Iraq, it will continue for a while. Just tune out when you have had enough.

just in case you slept in this morning and didn't get to the kh, here's an mp3 of the letter being read.... .

Maybe they are going to "go Mormon" and ride bikes.

isn't it wonderful that jehovah is spending his time helping the governing body decide to do away with bookstudy, instead of helping elisabeth, and the thousands like her??.

(cnn) -- austrian police believe a 73-year-old man held his daughter captive in his cellar for the past two decades and fathered at least six children with her, according to police and state-run news reports sunday.. the woman, identified as 42-year-old elisabeth f., has been missing since 1984 when she was 18 years old, police said at a news conference.. the situation came to light earlier this month after her daughter -- a 19-year-old woman, identified as kristen f. -- was hospitalized after falling unconscious, according to police.
Shooting is too good for him. How about gang raped to death?

it is a standard answer that i get from the few jw's that i speak with.. "the organization has it's flaws, but where else would we go to be among.
people who strive to do [jehovah's/god's] will?".
"i don't understand all the doctrine, nor take it as seriously as you do, but .
If I felt the need for religion, I would start my own. As we know, there is a lot of money in it.

the recent post about dolls has me picturing other conversations that parents could be having with with their young, impressionable children.. here's my own little scene inspired by the june wt.. (timmy is playing with his toy car).
dad: what kind of car do you have there, timmy?.
timmy: it's a super fast red porsche!.
For adults, anything that vibrates. ;)

anybody want to give me a big stick?????.

wings,
Since getting away isn't an option, take some deep breaths, and try to divert your mind from her. That and vent here!

Do not let your sister's guilt bombing cause you to do something irrational.
