dammmitt-give it a rest already. If you look hard enough at anything you're going to find patterns EVEN if they don't exist. You want there to be sense out of these numbers, so you're going to make sense out of it. LISTEN TO ME-life is unpredictable. As much as you want to be able to find out what is going to happen--to put it into somekind of structure--YOU CAN'T. It's never going to work, so get your nose out of Revelation and start living your life like you don't know what's going to happen tomorrow!

WHY DOES THE WTBS HOARD CASH

by Happy Guy :) in

they must have billions...annual revenue alone was almost a billion last year.

they must have close to 10 billion in assets and a large chunk of that is cash.

if the world is going to end any day that cash is useless.

"Maybe it is Jehovah's plan that all the abused ex JWs get that cash through the legal system..." Yeah, I'm not sure about the freeing up the heavy cash burden thing but I think they're pretty smart and know that they're gonna need plenty of cash on hand to settle all the lawsuits. It's either that or they're planning on using currency in the new system rather than the barter system...OR Moses will want it when he comes back...we all know what a gready money grubbing bastard he was.

i feel kind of silly posting next to you guys who were in the organization for much longer, like i know what i'm talking about or something, lol, i don't.. but i think it's really sad..all of these people, mostly really good people, who spend their whole lives or at least alot of it trying to do things..field service, studying, giving talks, giving up good jobs, ect.

for this religion.

i am really sad that i can't just save 'em from it.. i haven't been to any meetings this week and i think i finally might have the guts to tell them i'm done.. wow, it must have been realllllyyyy hard for all those who have family in the org.

Hi Missy- Runningman's right, you need to be careful right now. I would just keep in mind what's best for you and yours. I'm sorry about your friend but you can't live your life doing things just in order to please others-no matter how much you love them, right? Anyway, you're not pathetic.

What's everybody's theme song?

so....i'm sure everybody has some songs where they listen and feel like they're the ones speaking in the lyrics... what kind of music does everybody like and what are the songs that they relate to the most?

under74

I would say Purple Rain-the whole album. I remember I wasn't allowed to listen to prince because we were JW...and now he's a JW-weird. I actually feel bad for the little guy. PRESTON-did you know Cum On Feel The Noize was originally done by Slade? AND Dave Hill of Slade was raised a Dub. I heard rumors he's back in...could be just a romor though.

3 Weddings --------------> NO PARENTS ATTENDED !

by Rabbit in

just a few weeks ago i was trying to console bryan, whose jw daughter had informed him -- he was not welcome at her wedding.

i told him this has happened twice to me already...http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/7/79259/1287354/post.ashx#1287354 (sorry the link doesn't seem to work, you may have to copy n' paste it)

well, i just found out...all my kids are now married.

"...your Dad is demonized, must be...how else could he do that?" My parents said that about my grandmother after she committed suicide (a trusted elder told her to stop taking he medication). Anyway, I'm sorry for you Rabbit but I wouldn't give up on them...my mom believed all that shit and she came around eventually.

say something kind about someone else on this board.

try to pick someone you don?t know as well as the others and focus on what it is about them that appeals to you.

Blondie is full of knowledge...her and Narkissos should be on biblical Jeopardy.
