  by expatbrit in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a couple of very basic questions for you good folks.. 1)imagine that you are joe public who has never had any real contact with jehovah's witnesses.

  none of your family are, or your friends.

  you occasionally say "not interested" to them on saturday mornings.

  I think that people should know that they are really just a publishing company. Their main goal is to Sell books.

  Post quotes from bible you are skeptical of

  by ashitaka in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  thought this might be interesting to both religous and non-religous types.. perhaps leaving out revalation might be a good idea.....you know why, but if you've got one from there, go right ahead and post it.. mine is a popular one:.

  isaiah 2:4, revised standard version.

  "he shall judge between the nations, and shall decide for many peoples; and they shall beat their swords into plowshears, and spear into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore.".

  WATCHTOWER QUOTE RE UN NGOs NAILS THEIR OWN ASSES!

  by MadApostate in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i'm pulling this out of the original thread since people are blowing by this as if it were nothing.. the blue portion appears on page 17 of the june 1, 1991 watchtower, in the article titled their refuge--a lie!, which criticizes "christendom" for seeking help from the united nations rather than jah.. .

  "prayer and meditation at the united nations"-- robert muller .

  "prayer, meditation and spirituality at the un are fascinating subjects.

  Thanks everyone.

  I know of some "prominent" Elders who are just now learning about the WTS and the UN situation.

  It is amazing to me that they have had their heads in the sand for so long.

  One was told of this way back in October and paid no attention to what he was being shown.

  Hi Dim,

  I showed my wife your post last night. This morning she woke up laughing about the way you threw your Isaiah books out when your got home from the meeting. That was so funny.

  Ken,

  You have me beat but only by a year.
  
  Age

  Here's something to think about?

  Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we like to get
  old is when we are kids?

  If you are less than 10 years old, you're so excited about aging
  that you think in fractions. How old are you?... I'm four and a
  half!

  ...You are never 36 and a half... you're 4 and a half going on
  Five.

  That's the key. You get into your teens, now they can't hold you
  back. You jump to the next number. How old are you? "I'm gonna be
  16." You could be 12 but you're gonna be 16.

  And then the greatest day of your life happens...you become 21.
  Even the word sounds like a ceremony...you BECOME 21...YES!

  But then you turn 30...ooh what happened there? Makes you sound
  like bad milk...he turned, we had to throw him out, There' no fun
  now.

  What's wrong?? What changed?? You BECOME 21, you turn 30, then
  You're pushing 40, you reach 50.... and your dreams are gone.

  Then you make it to 60... you didn't think you would make it!!!!

  So you become 21, you turn 30, you're PUSHING 40, you reach 50, you
  Make it to 60 ...then you build up so much speed you HIT 70!

  After that it's a day by day thing. After that you HIT wednesday...
  You get into your 80's you hit lunch. You turn 4:30, my grand
  mother won't even buy green bananas... it's an investment you
  know, and maybe a bad one.

  and it doesn't end there...into the 90's you start going
  backwards...I was JUST 92... Then a strange thing happens.
  If you make it over 100, you become a little kid again...
  I'm 100 and a half!!!!

  Gee whiz, I'm glad to see there's something to look forward to.

  Growing old is inevitable....growing up is optional

  Getting past the anger

  by Stealth in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am looking for some assistance or resources on anger mangement.. i have known the truth about the truth for about a year now.. due to reasons of family i don't beleive i can make a 100% break at this time.. i seem to have a major problem getting past the anger.

  i am not an angry person by nature and in the past when i have gotten angry it never lasted very long.. at times i feel that the reason i can't get past the anger is because i have not made a complete break.

  i don't know if this is true since i see many here who have made the break and the anger persists.. if there is anyone here who has experienced this and has found a way to move past the intense feelings of anger without completly breaking from the borg due to family reasons and can offer some advice i would welcome it.. is it possible to get past the anger with one foot still in?
