who says anybody has the "truth"? or ever will? maybe everybody"s a little right and a little wrong at the same time. the whole problem with one's relationship with god is thinking that a religion has anything to do with it.

like u im confused as far as the "truth" is concerned. i go to all meetings even with doubts, and im a baptized JW. there are a lot of good things about being a JW, as well as the bad. that is true for any religion. i just focus on the good things. it makes life easier when u do that with all things.

Watchtower Society - The Thief of Time
by truthseeker incan't do more in jehovah's service?
start buying out time from non-essential activities.. how many times have we heard this phrase?.
ever wondered how much an average jw who preaches 10 hours a month, spends on jw activities in a year?.

the 5 hrs for meetings includes average 2 hrs of nap time

What would your conscience permit you to do that an average JW wouldn't do?
by JH in.
i didn't mind going to any bar, if i felt like it.
i know that the average jw wouldn't have went to these places.

there was no letter read, just an old kind, elder pulling the book out of a paper bag , showing it to us and telling us that any pub can get one after the meeting

Did anyone applaud the release of the OD book at YOUR hall?
by proplog2 inthere had been some buzz because no one was supposed to know about the release.. i swear everyone at my hall must be visitors to this forum.
or the elder's wives network must've done their usual job of telling everyone.. i would have expected an applause.
not even a line of people to get the book.

most everybody but me(and my wife-i need to find out why) i dont applaud AFTER the assemblies either, nor do i applaud while ALL the baptism candidates leave the auditorium. actually i only want to applaud after every meeting ends so i can go home!
