witnesses brag about their brotherhood and incredible love that exists within the organization.
they say they are really the only true religion.
is the jw religion the closest thing to jesus christ himself?.
That’s easy! There is no true religion, it’s all made up bullshit, no matter where it comes from.
The worst thing about Jehovah’s Witnesses is their lack of appreciation for this life we have. They don’t appreciate this is it, whether that be education, healthcare, exploring this world, accepting others, helping others........
i used to see them in my neighborhood or while driving.
there is a hispanic congregation nearby.
i used to see witnesses out all the time, some even doing the slow pioneer shuffle.
Maybe because I live 40 miles from the nearest Kingdom Hall we are blessed with their presence more often. They were here just two weeks ago, and usually come out a couple times a year.

My paychecks were bigger this year and my refund smaller, which is how it should be.
I made more money and ended up paying less in taxes overall 2018 vs 2017. Still ended up paying $25,000 in just Federal Income Taxes though, even with all my deductions for/from AGI (vs almost $30,000 in Federal Income Tax in 2017).
My husband and I are not rich but middle class, so the tax reform did help us.
i was howling watching cedars latest video of tm111 buying a dozen bottles of scotch ((maccallans scotch).
you can't write this stuff.
right, i'm now off to buy a bottle of maccallans 😂..
If everything I do in my private life is up for their scrutiny and judgement - I don’t think anything the GB does is off limits for bringing to peoples attention.
When the GB learns to keep their noses out of peoples personal lives they will deserve the same respect, until then I wish I could hire a PI to follow the GB around and expose every last hypocrital thing they do.
when i post i try to imagine that i am at a social gathering or sometimes in someone's house as a dinner guest.
that way it is easier to follow the community guidelines and posting rules set out on the site at the bottom of the page.
i wouldn't want to make a fool of myself in public.
Of course the forum changes over time because we change over time. When I first came here I was young, scared, broken, still believing I would be killed for leaving the JWs.
Now I’m in my mid 40’s, career, marriage, life have all carried me along my path. I’m no longer young, scared or broken.
You are supposed to grow and change, challenge beliefs that don’t serve you any longer, adopt new ones as new evidence presents itself. And keep going down your path......
attended the sad yesterday with my wife.
bethel speaker flown in to california which made it "special".
(his talks were infomercial bs, but at least he was a good speaker.
Any organization that’s isn’t financially transparent is a target for financial abuse. There is no accountability so they can spend whatever they want, and make up whatever “expenses” they see fit.
good morning, .
i am just wondering how you have constructively worked through the emotions of waking up?
i am trying hard to be positive, and i know life is a gift.
I volunteered at the animal shelter and habitat for humanity when I was dealing with waking up. I also joined rec league sports - volleyball and softball. I made new friends at both - I got the satisfaction of helping with the volunteer work.
most every night, where i work i transport dead persons to the morgue.
others i work with have told me that around 3:00am they hear voices in the morgue.. i asked them have they experienced something more than physical life?
just the voices inside the cold morgue.
Hmm there’s a few people I’d like to haunt after i’m dead.......
i haven't been posting here much lately, i think i only created one topic in 2018!
but this is worth it.. i am a grandfather 😊.
it happens all the time but damn, it feels good.
Congrats! Enjoy every minute.
yes, my keurig bit the dust after 14 years.
i want one just like it but that models not available.
it was only capable of a single cup, from 8 ounces to 12 ounces.
DaVinci icoffee - it takes all kcups or comes with a refillable. Perfect every time.
