  I used to post on this site years ago. Then, my login quit working. Haven't been here in a long time. Just stopping by and making a test post to see if my login works since the site looks *way* different than the last time I was here.

  life's not so great, i've been sulking after it was annouced, the annual meeting of directors is allowing everyone to view the event!

  here comes the congregational corpes "john and jane does" to a meeting they should not be allowed to attend!

  jehovah's witnesses enjoy their royalty just like americans do.

  Hi guys. :-) On another note, the screen shows I have a pm, but I do not have any new ones. Is there still a glitch that prevents you reading them? I'm curious if whoever fixed my post limit said something to me. :-)

  Hi scully and watson! Reading that link makes me ill. Phrases like "it is reasonable to conclude" and "adjustments in understanding" are flowery ways of saying we have no idea what the hell we're talking about but are making wild assed guesses. I feel sad for the people still in who are lifers. I really think the only thing that keeps them there is sunk cost.

  Notice that they are still claiming divine direction, just that the previous generation was not inspired but were "still in the growing season, and the arrangement for a channel to provide spritual food was still taking shape." How much bullshit is that? It makes me angry. I guess there's a reason I moved on for a time.

  My dad died a month ago, and my jw uncle gave the service, a man I greatly respect. He spent a lot of focus on dad, surprising for a jw funeral, and he went through the jw stuff with a measure of trepidation. He said it was what dad "would have wanted." And I agree. But I can't help but think he's actively decieving himself. I like my uncle very much. I guess the whole experience has brought the jw stuff to the surface of my mind again.
