  you get annoyed when one of your threads peters out...or you make a comment on someone elses thread and it goes unacknowledged....but isnt it great when an old thread you'd forgotten about gets ressurected

  what do you all think of prince charles and camilla?

  i think it's horrible and teaching a horrible lesson.

  look at us, it' okay to cheat on your spouses, because in the end we'll get each other anyway.

  if they want to be together..fine...but in my opinion i think they should have had a low key wedding and invited only the people who really care about their union.

  by Pleasuredome in

  of course i wouldnt want to encourage speculation, but when i was involved in the jws there was sometimes talk of what would or wouldn't be in/acceptable in 'the new system'.

  i heard some happifying comments like there wont be any electric guitars or transport, and we wont be wearing clothes but we'll still have seasons

  i stopped speculating about the pair o dice a long time ago...got tired of wondering. Most of the speculation seemed to be kinda dumb. and the pictures on the mag etc seemed boring...then i thought about how i hated going to gatherings with my cong. so i know i would not want to spend eternity eating grapes with them.

  sweet tee

  That just goes to show you that you can't listen to another person's interp. of the bible there are a zillion different ways to look at anything.

  are the people on the writing committee part of the remnant? if not, who are they? Maybe i should apply for the job. I can sip on my hennesy and hypnotic and write a few things.

  Maybe i'm just simple minded but: is there a possibility that the child died for other reasons not caused by God's hand and Jehovah allowed it to happen because David needed to reep what he sowed. Children die everyday for all sorts of reasons. Birth defects etc...I don't believe the child died by God's hand but rather God knew that the child would die (perhaps from other causes) and he just let David know that his child would die.

  i knew i was a little odd, when i noticed it was only me who seemed to read magazines, starting at the back and working my way to the front.. but the other day, i realized when on this forum, that i always start at the bottom of the page of topics and work my way up to the top!!!!!!!!!.

  i know strange but true.

  whenever i'm discussing a hot topic with a friend i will defend my opinion to the end, then when the conversation is over i always say "what do you think?" then the other person says " i told you what i thought about it" then i'll say "no really what do you think?"

  Bethel: Pathway to Apostasy

  by Black Man in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  at the 'big house' you go either one of two ways, company man or apostate.

  i think for many that went, it demystified the whole organization and you saw firsthand that there wasn't holy spirit influencing anything - only the muses of sheltered, out-of-touch old men and political bureaucrats.

  i work in the corporate world and i saw just as much if not more politics in bethel.

  A friend of mine came home from bethel (don't know the reason why) but he stated that there was alot racial stuff going on there as well. I just dismissed it and changed the conversation being that i was still loyal to the whole "Bethel Ideal" i also know of brothers who got kicked out for having hip hop music.

  another friend was asked to change her hair color (it was light brown) so she had to dye it black. I thought that was so crazy because she had worn that hair color pretty much her whole adult life and it matched her complexion

  when i visited Bethel i wasnt as impressed as i thought i would be. The people werent friendly as i thought they would be. I asked a brother if i could take his picture while he was working packing books and he said "no" he seemed like he was real irritated with the people coming through touring. maybe he felt like a zoo animal.
