Oh, how cheesy is that!
Maybe donating some of their billions to the victims of 9/11 might have been a better way to advertise their cause.

14Telling people what they already know
by gringojj ini marvel how the wts says things and makes it seem like the rest of the world didnt know these things until they told them.

Walking through the neighborhood - then and now
by alias innot ringing a single bell .
isn't it awesome to take a stroll through the neighborhood with a friend or significant other.
to gaze at the homes you pass and admire the flower gardens, manicured yards, a pop-up in the backyard.

Its nice too to be able to choose where and when to walk, no more rough council estates on a Friday night for me.

Terrorist backlash - and so it starts
by katiekitten inmy mum lives next door to a little newsagents shop run by an asian family.
i used to live there, and i had the phone number of mr badat because sometimes people used to try and break in.
mr badat died last year and a younger moslem family took over.

These suicide bombers don't care about themselves or their family that they leave behind, so I doubt that the effect their actions have on other Muslims would even register in their sick minds.

"Jehovah God" wording
by carla indo jw's even realize that to 'outsiders' the wording of "jehovah god" makes it sound like they are trying to distinguish between 'other gods' and 'jehovah god'?
sorry, if i'm not clear enough.
jw's i've talked to cannot seem to understand the question.

lol, the title of this thread reminds me of when I used to pray.
I never felt anything and so in an effort to try to sound sincere and genuine, sometimes I would replace "Dear heavenly father Jehovah God" with just plain "Dear God Jehovah", as if this made it any more from the heart.

Should you be afraid of being killed by a terrorist?
by Elsewhere inhere is how i view it:
how many people here know someone who died or was seriously injured in a car accident?.
how many people here know someone who died or was in any way injured by a terrorist attack?.

I have a friend who comes from Belfast, were terrorist incidents used to happen on a daily basis, she has a husband from Dublin and she is so afraid that she can't even take him to Belfast to meet the inlaws.
I think what we should be afraid of is how far out of hand this terrorism thing gets, at the moment the risk is low but what happens if it gets worse?

God says not to go in service....
by riotgirlpeeps inso this morning since my parents are both very devout witnesses i get a knock at my door, i'm supposed to go with.
i'm in my pajamas.
typical guilt trip and mention that ultimately it is my choice, more guilt tripping (last time i checked i was 26 closing in on 27 ironic isn't it how they still don't want to allow decision making).

by out of the box ini have been writing 'my story' in bits and pieces here.
it was pouring out, one of the kids sick, jw husband wasn't going.
i got in the car (this little hatch-back car was a loaner from the garage because our larger car was being repaired) i was stopped at a stop sign and i was on time for the meeting.. i heard something and turned in time to see something coming at me fast.

The way you were treated is digusting, scandalous in fact, its the one thing that gets me really mad, the hypocrisy of it all.
How dare they call themselves gods people when this is the way they treat their own, I guess if you were 'a bible study' you'd have had half the congreagation falling over themselves to help you out in order to give a good witness.
They make me sick!

A sister spoke to me at breakfast...
by AK - Jeff ini was eating a sinful double order of biscuits/gravy when this sister i knew came up to my table.
as is usual with witness mentality, not a single word about the family or any other matter, just launched into "hubby and i were out by your house in service, stopped by but no one was home" then she tactlessly mentioned that she had not seen us around the hall for a while.
i told her we were not attending meetings any longer.

I used to always find it so embaressing when they did that praying out loud in public thing, even if they don't actually speak outloud, they just close their eyes, it makes them look ridiculous, maybe thats why the bloke asked you the question instead of her.

not dfd but no-one speaks to me
by dedpoet ini am ex pioneer, ex ministerial serpent not been near a kh in 6 years, smoke, drink had a live in gf until recently, but not dfd, so much for keeping the cong clean!
still, none of my "brothers" with a couple of exceptions, speaks to me now, their way of trying to win me back perhaps?
not that it'd work - i am happy now after 10 years of bs from people who ought to know better but don't

Hello and welcome dedpoet.
I am in a similar situation to you, not that I was ever baptized in the first place, but most of the congregation where I last studied refuse to acknowledge me, it doesn't matter though, with a few exceptions I find this quite amuseing.
