People who are down on I.T. professionals like me. They're usually the first ones who call us in their whiny little voices to complain that their coffee cup holder (cd-rom tray) broke off when they placed their Grande Vanilla Polar Cappucino on it and now the slop is all over their keyboards.

's that weren't born into the cult.. were there any teachings, doctrine, etc.
that you still had a hard time accepting, even though you were going to be baptised into the org.?.
which policies and teaching?.
I believed most of it but I had a problem believing that everyone who wasn't a JW would be destroyed at armageddon.
The society's teaching about 1918/19 never made any sense to me. I always thought it a bit arrogant on their part to assume bible prophecies applied to them.
I also couldn't see the justice of having the entire human race suffer the consequenses of "Adamic sin". So what if he ate some lousy fruit? Why should people who had nothing to do with it suffer thousands of years later? People exterminated in death camps in WWII. People butchered in Rwanda. All because Adam and Eve ate some fruit that didn't belong to them. Now there's a loving god of justice for you!
With these kinds of doubts it's a wonder I ever became a JW at all. But they got me at a low point in my life - a time when some drastic changes were needed. The depression didn't help.

How many of you are anointed ones? Nope.
How many of you are resurrected from the dead? My heart stopped once in the O/R. I still exist. Does that count?
How many of you are born again? See above.
How many of you have performed miracle healings? No, but I can eat an entire pizza.
How many of you are prophets? I predict this pizza in front of me will soon disappear.

announced at service meetings this week:.
the wts will be phasing out hard-bound bibles for the public begining later this year.. jws will still be able to order hard-backs for themselves, but hard-bound bibles will not be made available to the public after current stocks are depleted.. soft cover bibles will have a paper cover similar to other publications produced by the wts.. pocket-size bibles with fake leather covers are to be discontinued entirely and will only be available in paperback.. we are a long way from pig-skin folks.. .
This way bibles wear out sooner so they place more which raises their Holy Statistics. Then they can say that "God is speeding up the work". The extra donations don't hurt either.

okay....i tried reading the whole thread about not taking christ out of xmas http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/97085/1.ashx, but really, no, that is just too much to read through...and i figured no one would both to see what i had written anyway...so here are a few other reasons for those of you to celebrate on dec 25th if you don't have "christ in your christmas".
i suppose if you don't have christ in your christmas we could call it "christmas lite" or "christ free christmas" "nonchrist latte with half decaf".
anyhoo.... 1. isaac newton's bday...a giant in math and phyics .
i just returned from ontario, where a family member died, i was reading the obit, and i know its been said millions of times, but this really blew me away.
"a private family burial at ______ cemetery.
a memorial service will be held at the kingdom hall of jehovah's witnesses on saturday august 13, 2005 at 2:00 p.m. as expressions of sympathy, please send donations to world wide work of jehovah's witnesses.".
As expressions of sympathy, please send donations to World Wide Work Of Jehovah's Witnesses."
I'd sooner send flowers. A person only dies once. The watchtower will always be there. (unfortunately).

my family spends a lot of time on grooming our lawn, hedges and flowerbeds.
we live near a main street and there is a path beside our house that is often used by dog owners as part of their dog walk.. i don't know how many times i've watched people allow their dogs to urinate on our hedges and defecate on our grass, when the public park is just a few feet away.
they think that poop-n-scooping is the limit of their duty of neighbourliness.. today, i had enough.
Way to go Scully!
There was a guy from a few houses down who always let his dog crap on my lawn and he never picked it up. One day I caught him in the act and I went out and made him pick it up. I told him if it happened again I'd take the pile of crap and jam it down his throat.
I would do it too.

WOW!!!
14 pages and we haven't even started fighting about the other holidays yet!
I don't celebrate Christmas or Xmas or even Saturnalia. I merely take the opportunity to sacrifice to the god of my belly.
