  Isn't equating obedience to men who protect child molesters with godly obedience just a little blasphemous?

  "i sure hope not... and, well, if there is i hope there are a lot less because they take up so much time.

  If all this malarkey was real, I don't see why meetings would be needed.

  Exactly! That's why they shouldn't even need meetings now if anything they say is "truth". There are certain truths that can be proven. There is oxygen in the atmosphere, water is wet, etc. No one needs 5 hours of meetings a week to keep reminding them of this. The only time such "repitition for emphasis" is needed is when one is teaching utter nonsense - so the repitition will overcome reason. Meetings in the new system? HA!!! One more reason to be glad I won't be there! W

  OUTNFREE: Time For Some "Big Up-ing"

  by RAYZORBLADE in

  folks, i seldom use my alloted topic starters, but i chose to start one with a specific member in-mind.. outnfree: outnfree (she has an interesting way of utilizing capital letters/none at all).. ok...i am having a hard time not giving this woman, some big time credit.. she's a lovely woman.. i've met her; i've hung out with her more than a few times on both sides of the canada/usa border.. she's extremely kind; thoughtful, balanced and very wise.

  i will capitalize: w i s e .

  i sometimes wish i could be there in suburban detroit to show her how much i appreciate the good she inspires.

  Do conflicts/arguments strengthen friendships/relationships ?

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i think that conflicts do strengthen friendships or relationships.

  it sets boundary lines and defines what's acceptable from what's not acceptable.

  naturally it will strengthen the friendship or relationship as long as both respect the boundary line of the other one.. or, maybe conflicts mean that things aren't going right and the relationship/friendship isn't going good, and that the tolerance level has become very low, and arguments errupt for little nothings.... .

  I have a low tolerence for people who want to argue with me. They need to understand one thing, and it's really very simple - It's my way or the highway! The most satisfying relationships are with people who bow to your every whim.

  Nealy arrested apostasising! Flying by the seat of my pants, I was.....

  by Gill in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i had a morning and a half today.. i had put together some information on the paul berry case and how the wtbts had spent around $500,000 of publishers donations on supporting a convicted paedophile.. i noticed, at my parents house what map they are using at the moment and decided to get my anti witnessing done before they went out in service there.

  however, it is a neighbourhood watch area so i decided i would have to do a few houses here and there along the roads and then run for it.

  i had a gut feeling i had to be quick and get out.. i placed my bike behind a bush and wall and did a few houses here and there.. i got back to my bike, slipped off my cap, glasses and mac and started cycling only to see one police car crawling along the first road, the police men looking down each drive.

  You have to go about it the right way. Dress like a JW, complete with service™ bag. The cops won't come near you.

  by hubert in

  2. friends

  has anyone on this board that ended up in divorce (mainly) because of j.w.

  problems, ever received an apology from their ex for divorcing them because of religious differences?.

  like, maybe that since the divorce the ex got out of the org and realized that they were wrong to divorce you at that time?.

  Is there a story behind the beer you drink or is just that it tastes better

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  some people drink a certain beer because they really find that it's the best tasting beer on the market, while others drink what their friends or spouse drinks and see no difference, no matter what beer they drink.. when i first started drinking beer when i was in my teens, i drank what my parents had at home.

  free beer .

  honestly, i used to drink labatts but a friend initiated me to budlight, and i really love that beer now.

  Dark beers are my favourite. Currently I'm addicted to Black Wych.
