  60 MB Broadband (cable) Internet...do we really need it that fast?

  by SnakesInTheTower in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  through work, i received a copy of a news release from the local cable company.

  that cable company is headed to bankruptcy but until then business as usual.

  (kinda like the illinois governor...just keeps going even though doomed).. my question is...do residential customers really need internet to be that fast?

  Twitch has it absolutely correct. It will be a long time before the computer revolution slows down.

  But they have no clue how to help her because the solution to all her woes are more prayer, meetings, and field service.

  Thankful Not To Be An Elder Anymore ( KM)

  i count my blessings.

  i picked up a kingdom ministry for february and saw, once again, the mindless horror that the organization has evolved into.

  there's the grade school reading level.

  Giving these parts could be handled by a seventh grader.

  Funny you mentioned this. As a TMS overseer and as an elder I would always fill in at the last minute for parts. People would be amazed. But I always felt like how hard can it be to talk about stuff I've been hearing and repeating for almost forty years?! I could do it in my sleep for goodness sakes.

  JW's and not having real friends

  by Iwonder17 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have been a jw my whole life and am just realizing now that i have no friends.

  the 1 or 2 good friends that i had as a child have since moved away and now i am stuck trying to make friends with people in the hall that i am in that don't want anything to do with me cuz i'm not a ms, elder or pioneer.. it's weird, because i look at facebook or other sites where people talk about their day or what they have been doing and it seems like people "in the world" have a lot of friends and have a good/happy life.. i think that the jw's are so busy with all of the wtbs stuff that they don't have the energy to take time to be friends with others.. i am sad...cuz i don't see a way to get any realy friends as too much of my family is in the "truth" and i'm stuck in it .

  Russell started the " Cult Mind Control" in JW's Years Ago- Check this Out

  by flipper in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i guess after leaving the witnesses 5 years ago - i had always thought the " control" issues had started years down the road in rutherford's time and that initially the motives were good when russell started this organization.

  boy was i wrong.

  i've been reading the book " kingdom of the cults " by walter martin- revised edition and thought i'd share some eye opening quotes from c.t.

  Funny that one could not understand the Bible by reading the Bible! You should always be able to read the raw data and get some insight.

  How to fade quickly and get off the JW "radar screen"

  by sir82 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so you want to fade quickly, and keep the elders off your back?

  here's an easy way to do it:.

  1) recruit a sympathetic friend - doesn't have to be an elder, heck, doesn't even have to be a jw - to pose as the secretary for the "xyz" congregation.. 2) tell your congregation secretary you are moving to the "xyz" congregation.

  The moving thing would probably have worked for me. But my then spouse pulled the plug on the move. I would have had more friends stick by me if she hadn't.
