The mind works through association with groups of things. You can test this by asking people to remember a group of numbers individually or in groups. For example ask a group of people to remember the numbers 3-5-7-9-4-1-8-2 or 35-79-41-82. This goes for all things that we come in contact with. For some this might be an annoying and for others a blessing. Association with good or bad is where one can go wrong when thinking of some person, idea or group.

interesting parallel
by mann377 ini just was watching the news about the war in iraq.
it appears that troops loyal to saddam are shooting prople that are leaving the cities for water and food.
this sounds just like people who would leave an organization for reasons of consicence or need and be df or da by the loyal elders of the wtbs.

The troops were using women and children as human shields which is not unlike a dub on the front lines of spirtual warfare. Give me your thoughts on this if you agree.

Has anyone heard about the new residence building the WTBS wants to build in Brooklyn? It is supose to hold 2,000 people. I thought the WTBS was sending many Bethelites home because of no work. I read about this on the New York Times web site, check local news and type in Jehovah's Witness.

Kingdom Hall over 200 miles away
by JH inhere in canada, there are people working in areas up north where kingdom halls are hundreds of miles away.
how can a witness attend a meeting, if there are no kingdom halls around him?
that just proves how stupid it is to think that just jw will be saved.

Why aren't you a believer?
by therealtruthsayer inthere were times in my life when i wondered to myself "am i making a mistake by leaving "jehovah"?
" at this point i know i have no doubts because why would a loving god kill everyone on earth who isn't a witness and i don't think that the true religion of god would be delivered to a white man in america.
that's why i'm no longer a believer.

Leaving Jehovah? If you were in the org you were never with Jehovah. Do you really think that this org is in line with the teachings of Jehovah & Jesus? Do you think their conduct and the way that they treat the dubs is christian? Don't look back, its not a pretty site!
