Your last sentence makes your whole post mute!
"The world does Not owe you a living"
up here, in the northern plains, we just recovered from a historic event--- may i even say a "weather event" of "biblical proportions" with a historic blizzard of up to 44" inches of snow and winds to 90 mph that broke trees in half, knocked down utility poles, stranded hundreds of motorists in lethal snow banks, closed all roads, isolated scores of communities and cut power to 10's of thousands.. .
fyi:.
george bush did not come.. .

Is this a joke?
Now Bush is responsible for snow storms?
just sort of curious about this, i know it has probably been done a gazillion times but let me do it again.
1.do you believe in a personal god who takes interest in you as an individual?
2.do you believe that the bible was written by god?
while reading on jwd last night and this morning, i was reminded of a situation that i had with my husband when i told him i was not ever going back to the kingdom hall (this happened in october 2006 so relatively recently).
this statement should not have come as a great surprise to him, as he knows that i now belong to the american legion auxiliary (in fact i am the local unit president), that i vote, and that i helped convince our daughter to have a blood transfusion that may have saved her life.
also i had told him in the past that he should not set up any meetings for me with the elders as i would not talk to them.. in spite of his knowledge of my present activities, his reaction to my "never going back" statement was severe.
Someone actually read through that?
how many years did you waste in the organization?
whoever is the last poster keep adding the your wasted years to the previous poster and show the total in your post.
lets see is we wasted mankinds existence.
Great Great Grampa and wife = 40
Grampa and Grandma = 156
Dad and Mom = 120
Uncle and Aunt = 87
Sister = 40
Me and family = 35+ 34+ 11+9= 59
Can someone do the math please?

i think it's hilarious that when you post facts there is still always someone arguing it.. makes you want to stop bothering if people don't want to learn.. but then again my family has only been in the truth for 100 years so what would i know?.

Nice Church! Err, I mean Kingdom Hall!

I wonder if this will ever end?
How you would jump in like that is unbelievable.
it really makes little sense for them to outlaw the use of it on buildings
UMM, unless they don't want to be perceived to be encouraging the worship of symbols!!!
Incredible!
BTW. No one ever "opposes" posts about George Benson being "paid" by tobacco companies or that the Society invests in defense companies and Phillip Morris. No proof required there! Wonder why?

Sorry, I can't say in fear that I will be flogged because I don't have a copy of an official WT letter stating it.
It was around 10 years ago, maybe a little less.
P.S. I do really like you. You always bring calm and reason to discussions.
