i have read your posts and am suprised, shocked and disgusted at the fact you still are an active witness who goes to the meetings 70% of the time and at the same time go to apostefests and curse and talk bad about the truth.
dont you know that the bible said people like you would quietly slip in the congregation and subvert the faith of some?
are you not afraid of god and jesus?
Some seem to doubt my claim to be a Witness.
Is someone polling people on this board as whether they believe yay or nay defd's claim to be a jdub? Did I miss it?
Anyone?
Anyone?
OK, I for one don't believe big D is a jdub, but he does seem to have jdub tendencies.

mother called me last night.
yeah she's talking to me and my sister now.
i dont know how mother and my sister patched it up.
Jgnat, thanks for the response, you are always the voice of reason...I like that. Your suggestion to stop Mother from talking about my siblings to me is so on the money.
Quite frankly bro and sis dont need or use me as a messenger. They have always been quite capable of voicing their opinions to my mother (which she doesnt like). Mother likes to play us against each other and I often wonder why she does it since it never works and often backfires in her face.
I dont know how this will end, neither I nor my siblilings are shunning or actively avoiding her, we're just not pursuing or calling her. I dont even want to talk about what happened with my mother anymore and I dont think she will ever admit she was wrong. But I think her thinking that my sister has to apologize is the sickest part.

here's another cute one...!
and god populated the earth with broccoli and cauliflower and spinich, green and yellow vegetables of all kinds so man and woman would live long and healthy lives.. and satan created mcdonald's.
and mcdonald's brought forth the 99-cent double-cheeseburger.
we trudge along in our little lives, worrying about bills and disagreeing about who should put away the laundry, then whammo!!!
the love of your life can be gone in an instant.. we returned from a weekend trip visiting family and suddenly my husband was vomiting blood, lots of it.
he was in the er within 30 minutes and in the icu in another 30 minutes.
After I got back from seeing my sister after she lost her baby I hugged my kids a little more tightly and kissed them more often. I guess we all tend to take our loved ones for granted.
Hugs ((((pennycandy and hubby))))

the watchtower has been down .
sizing everything except meetings.
where would all the money come from if not at all those meetings, in those boxes, ahem!!
Whenever I hear something about "Downsizing" I always think of phrase that was in use at my old company when they started to tighten the belt - "Cost Containment".
your husband ,wife ,boyfriend or girlfriend, things that you know really annoy them so you keep doing it to see their reaction?.
heres mine ,and you can never tell ,shhhhh.
i will go ouside and cut a plant ,maybe trim it ,at first i really did forget to clean up my plant mess but oh oh , i got a reaction so now i leave them for him to see and watch him blow,,,,,,,,,,lol .
I like to poke my hubby in the butt just to see him jump best to do if he's on the phone
Gemini And no I am not 2-faced
"you will agree that...." why do jw's start so many sentences that way?!
annoying!
is it in some manual or something?
A: P is true because of X, Y, and Z.
B: Pff. When you’re older, you’ll realize that P is false.
Being young, I get this one a lot. At some level, it’s an argument to authority: I have X and you don’t, therefore I am correct and you are not.
However, there’s a deeper issue here. One who uses this fallacy is implictly suggesting that the goal of the discussion is to get the parties to agree about what is true, not to actually find what is true. This is a dangerous attitude; would the person assume their beliefs were true if there was no one around to challenge them?
A good way to improve such an argument would be to use it as a form of evidence, not a dismissal of the other party. For example, instead of saying “You’d agree with me if you’d worked in the coal mines for years.” try saying “Well, I’ve worked in the coal mines for years which has let me see firsthand why P is necessary.”
especially not in this heat; they'll just go stand under the air conditioning vent.
in fact, the only two groups of people who work in america anymore are white people, and mexicans.
hell, they ("they" in this case being the govt., i gather, but i'm unclear on exactly what govt.
Thanks, I've noticed that too *giggle*
how can people like defd be here and see all the blatant lies by the society and still accept it?.
607 bc and 1914 are based on complete falsehood, and are only borrowed from the adventists and millerites.
the trinity brochure took almost all of their sources out of context.
I think they have a sick need to be a whipping boy. Makes them feel better and comfirms in their mind that they have the "truth".
