I take it you didn't stick around for the Watchtower study? If so, did you try to comment?
I noticed that towards the end you sounded a bit rushed. Were you worried about them trying to haul you're ass off the stage?
i downloaded and heard the "da" talk by littletoe and man all i can say is that it reminded me of that phrase in that def leppard song "it's better to burn out, than to fade away!".
that was tremendous.
i read on another thread that this is the reason why the new public talk outlines are now more manuscript than before.

This is soo true. I was the only person taking notes and paying attention at the meetings as far as I could see when I tried to go back last time. Thats why I disassociated myself. Because when you really pay attention you realize how its all a bunch of theories.
last night i was channel surfing when i came across a discovery health program that followed cases in an emergency room.
one of them was about a jw woman who had some sort of head injury.
to be honest, i did not watch the whole thing, but i did manage to record it on my dvr while i watched other things.
I just watched that. It made me sick. I can't belive the bloodguilt this organization is responible for.. this is insanity.
how sad that the witnesses have nothing to celebrate.
the more i think about it since i stopped going to the meetings, the more i feel that spirituality and religion are about opportunities to give thanks and to celebrate life with family and friends.
christenings or name giving ceremonies celebrate the gift of a new life to a family.
'Shawshank Redemption' is my favorite movie too! Can you tell?
:It is like the fat goth chick of religion.
That basicly sums it all up.
I remember them saying that "we celebrate every day" and "we don't need a reason to celebrate, we can do it anytime". But we never did. All I got was picked on in school and made to feel like a little freak for most of my pre-teen years. I know that there are people that have it much worse in the world and its what helps me to not feel sorry for myself. But I just know that when I have kids, things are going to be much different for them. It's all I can do to not grow bitter and hate that stupid cult with a passion.

I think these kinds of articles are self-defeating. They are digging their own graves. This is the type of shit that got me thinking and made me get the hell out of that crap.
that most guys in the borg were .
i mean, i don't know about you, but i remember countless times that situations would develop involving young to old men alike, where me and other non-dub-raised "dudes", would comment that.... what that guy (bro) needs is a good ass-kicking!
i mean a good old fashioned beat your ass whoopin... i mean learn some real "humility" at the hands of your "friends".
:He lied behind my back just to be a study conductor. I changed the contour of his face. HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
yes, again... after reading numerous posts on this site and doing some research on my own, i have a strong feeling that my whole belief will soon stand or fall with the understanding of 'this generation'.. matthew 24:3 .."tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your presence and of the conclusion of the system of things?".
matthew 24:7 for nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be food shortages and earthquakes in one place after another.. matthew 24:34 truly i say to you that this generation will by no means pass away until all these things occur.. .

Hi guys, can you please show me some evidence that the NT writers wrote some of the 'prophecys' in the OT into the Jesus accounts? This is the first I have heard of this, it makes a lot of sense and I'm very curious. Thanks.
cannot get to e-watchman or to the paradise cafe.
is anyone else having problems.
I find it hilarious listening to these guys claiming to be inspired and puking condemitory scriptures at one another. Some people just don't get it.
