Haven't been to a KH in years ... but the best of the worst local needs talks was about sisters keeping themselves clean during menstruation (I kid you not!) AND ... general body odor issues.
Disgusting, isn't it?

Live Like You Were Dying
by Scully inthis is a song - a very touching one, i might add - about how a man is diagnosed with a terminal illness and how it changes his life for the better.
this is the song that tim mcgraw wrote for his dad, former mlb player tug mcgraw.
so why am i posting about this song on a discussion board about being jehovah's witnesses and leaving jehovah's witnesses?

Great post skullery - I squandered about a third of my life trying to 'get a firm hold on the real life' (uh oh ... here it comes ) only to wake up feeling like evil said, merely existing and not truly living at all. Now, I too like the mortgage, job, car payment etc. that go along with leading a 'normal' life. I still need to learn not to put things off though - procrastinator by nature.
LHG said: Why is it not possible for us to be acceptable to god living our lives as the physical beings with a spiritual side, doing the things a physical being was created to do - all being in harmony with the rest of creation???
I live my life according to my own wants, needs and desires. I stopped worrying about if some fairy tail filled book condemns my actions. I rather like to follow the simple words of Jesus to love others as I love myself. I'm happy with that and if anyone else isn't I could truly care less. An absence of religious affiliation doesn't necessarily mean an absence of values or spirituality.

Funny how you had visits from three different religions. I remember how the witlesses would say, "do you see anybody else going from door to door" or "we're the ONLY religion that follows the example of first century Christians ...". In the back of my mind I wanted to see evidence of this first century house to house preaching!
Anywho - don't feel left out U/D, when the Big A comes just tell the angels you were waiting for a reminder but nobody showed up at your door.

Same control tacticts, information (new light) still flows from the GB and the R&F better get in line or bend over.
And as was stated earlier, there are new issues to deal with. That said, the old issues will never go away unless the WT leadership fesses up and admits their wrongdoing. Bottom line ... JW's don't want to hear ANY criticism of the borganization and will respond (sometimes intelligently) by coming to borgs defense.
S.O.S. (same ole' sh*t)

Wife arranging for me to study with a brother! I need a plan!
by M.J. inhere's the situation.
my wife couldn't answer some deep issues i've raised regarding a few of the wts's teachings and dishonest representation of historical sources.
naturally, she attributes her lack of answers to her own lack of research and knowledge.

I like sunspot's idea. If you study the publication he chooses then you can challenge him on his own 'turf'. If you should choose this method, I suggest you don't move on until he is able to answer the questions you posed in the chapter, or accept that you two disagree.
If the new book is set up anything like the old 'Live Forever' book, then the meaty (insert puke here) parts are towards the end ie. the true crapola, that's when you can really kick his arse! I wouln't be afraid of him per se, and honestly, in a search for truth there should be nothing to fear.
You have all the help you need to 'stomp the chump' here. But being a former witless myself, I don't know how you can keep this from interfering in the relationship with your wife ... that's the true dilemma.

More WT lies! I like the part of the article where it mentions that the WTBS changed the interliner but failed to mention why. Then asked the question would the Tower apologize and acknowledge its error. We know the answer to that one.
Great info ... thanks!

Evans - What a list ROFLMAO!!!!!
I told this in another thread but in case anyone missed it. I had a plumber at my house on a Saturday - going in and out of the back door. He hollered into the kitchen "Jehovah's Witnesses" and I hollered back without skipping a beat "We don't want any". He said "you heard the lady".
I thought he was joking, but that's really how I felt.

Is 2034 ''New Light''?
by MidwichCuckoo inbear with me.
over the years jw have always strived after/prophesied (even though they deny this) a carrot ''date''.
as dates come and go, we hear about ''new light'', but according to the wt :-a new view of truth never can contradict a former truth.

I can't help but wonder if it is confusing being a JW now - many things they preached years ago have now changed (NOT, in my opinion, added to as the above quote says). Do they ever think, ''Well, THIS is just temporary thinking, and another 'New Light' will be along shortly''. Maybe it's just become a way of life, not knowing what you HAVE to believe anymore. Psychologically it must be very damaging.
Hey Midwich! My experience with the flip-flop-new-light-bs-teachings was that most witnesses in my hall didn't respond at all ... the 'new light' regarding the King of the North, college education OK as long as you plan to pio. and 'this generation' teaching all seemed to go right over their heads. The reaction was more like a "we hear, and we obey".
My reaction was more like chicken little (the sky is falling, the sky is falling) I couldn't help but think of the so called new light as an error and I'd wonder 'if they were wrong about this, what else could they be wrong about . I couldn't blindly hang the rest of my life on guesses - obviously there was not spirit direction because according to the Word, God doesn't change.
I honestly don't know how the steadfast witnesses do it. I started having doubts after the first recognized flip - seeing numbers 2 & 3 sent me over the edge.
