  by stillAwitness in

  2. bible

  do you think the wt has become more lenient or stricter over the year?.

  i am 21 and i remember just 4 years ago going to college was looked at as something negative.

  girls my age, we had plans to be ft pioneers and become secretaries.

  Go to college and dont worry about not knowing exactly what to study, the very fact you are there is something and you are only 21, you have plenty of time to decide on your vocation,just learn as much as you can, I'm sure you will not regret it.

  Honestly, I know what I'm talking about, I made a similar mistake to you in not persueing my education, I am now 25 and still wondering what I am going to do but whatever I decide it will involve going back to college or finding a career, no knocking on doors for sure.

  young people ask - how should i deal with my doubts?

  awake: april 2002. .

  we live in a world of many philosophies and many world views and young christians might be tempted to have doubts about the loving guidance set out by the faithful and discreet slave.

  Very funny Diamondblue, but where on earth did you get the names from? Borris and Barry?! Oh dear!

  What is sad though is that if you showed this to any young witness they would probably believe it to be true.

  Boobah... an acid trip for kids?

  by Elsewhere in

  when i get up for work in the morning i normally watch a bit of news in bed before i start to move around.

  the other day i was flipping through the channels and came across a very very strange show on pbs at 6:30 am (dallas channel 13) called boobah.

  it is designed for very young children... and i swear it looks like an acid trip!

  I can be a Jehovah's Witness and fight fires at the same time...

  by TresHappy in

  mike davis, firefighter.

  bank one forest park (3:05 p.m.): it may be less than a foot square, but mike davis and fellow forest park firefighter julie stanley work the smoldering patch of mulch as if it could turn into a full-fledged fire.

  they till soil around the tree and douse it with water until the smoke stops.. it's a non-emergency response for engine 42. with no sirens or flashing lights, it's excruciatingly routine.

  I'm sure that the Watchtower doesn't frown on people who work as firemen, my nephew is an elder and a full time figherman, his brother is a pioneer and a retained fireman, there doesn't seem to be a problem with it.

  I never knew what Incubi meant until I read this thread, but I do recall my mum once telling someone that my nan had been raped by demons, I can't see this being true and probably her claiming it to be was just a symptom of her Alzheimers, my mum being a dub would obviously believe it though.

  i can't believe this guy goes round slapping parking tickets on people's cars by day and slapping "you can live forever" leaflets through people's doors at the weekend.. it would be funny if he got mixed up one day and started booking people with messages of a paradise earth.. well, i guess jesus loved tax collectors too.

  MY STORY PART TWO

  2. experiences

  sorry this has taken some time to compile but here it isthe second instalment of my biography.

  as with the previous it is difficult with writing it not just because of the content but primarily because its difficult to try and retain the chronology correctly; i believe i have stayed true to how and when things happened but might have a few dates and times mixed up as this hasnt been at the forefront of my mind for some time.

  please accept my apologies if these inconsistencies are apparent at any point.. .

  Wow! What do you say after reading something like that?

  Absolutely shocking!

  But to look on the bright side, you have both moved on and atleast you can now be happy.
