i realize this is totally context and culturally dependent, but the old toronto jw youth scene was quite wild during the years 1984-1994. .
one example, a group of about 40 jw kids would go up to a ski resort (usually mount st.louis/moonstone or blue mountain) over the x-mas week-end.
one year we rented out a block of rooms in a resort close to the ski lodge.
Tonns of ALcohol 2, 750ml bottles of Tequila split between 6 jw's...
o.k i confess: sometimes i still wish i was in high school where i was tucked away safely away from the real world.

I would like to confess that i wish i wouldve never went to the elders and WAS honest and told them what i had done. I had fornication 2 times in 2 years. i wish i woulve kept my mouth shut.

Like that old friend of mine who's a guy. who had his roomate give him a few hand jobs. and used to sit on each others laps when ministerial servants had parties that made everyone drunk.
Like every inactive person who gets to communicate with there friends and family.
Like every elder who gets drunk and pukes in there toliet when they had friends staying the night.
Like the elders son who sleep with there fiances and then decide that they arent' gonna marry the girl anymore.

bethany hughes had a choice to make and it cost her her life.
the 17-year-old alberta resident was a devout jehovahs witness who was diagnosed with leukemia.
At the CANADA District assembly it mentioned that Bethany had taken blood transfusions.
The brother on stage SAID she was pumped full of blood.. is this not a true statement...
I got the impression she said no to blood then they gave some to her anyway.
and the watchtower says she died anyway....what is the truth since it said in your message that she didnt' take the blood. I HEARD SHE HAD????
this article made me smile:.
march 15, 1986.. allow no place for the devil!.
"ephesians 4:26, 27.. a vicious wild beast is on the prowl.
The paragraph on the disfellowshipped party makes me so angry. There so many bad ones in there. makes me gag.

on page 146 of what does the bible really teach?, the opening sentence of paragraph 6 purports to represent one of the six criteria for determining the true religion.
it reads: "god's servants base their teachings on the bible.".
Question 1: Do you believe that to be a certain mark of the true religion? Jesus used the Torah could be jewish...?
Question 2: Do you believe that absence of Scriptural basis for teachings is a mark of false religion? Disfellowshipping means no part of the world.. get out of her my people...
Question 3: Do you personally know, or can you find, the Scriptural basis for the teachings of Jehovah's Witnesses? In the new world translation you can.................... But i also no that in my grama's baptist bible that it shows that there are 144.000 and in every other religon it dont teach that...??? right?? how did i do?? IAM disfellowshipped....let me try and answer these...... P.s 12 people sat down for dinner one night and the next day was the last day of true religon being spread..people when there ways and started there own teachings after jesus' death..
ask them how could john the baptiser could be a jw??
since the religon wasen't around back then...
this is a very important observation, that the watchtower has not tried to explain in print why 607 bce is the year for the destruction of jerusalem for the last 17 years!!!.
all that the watchtower has done over most of the last two decades is to repeat over and over the year "607bce" in its publications as if it is an unquestioned fact!.
the last time an explaination for the year was attempted by the watchtower was in 1988 when the "insight" volumes were published, but since then, no explaination for the validity of the year has appeared in print.. this must mean something, but what?

In this Chapter 4 of "Your Will Be Done on Earth" there have flashed before us "Foregleams of God’s Kingdom" as reflected by the kingdoms of King-Priest Melchizedek of the ancient city of Salem and of Kings David and Solomon on "Jehovah’s throne" at the same city, but enlarged and called Jerusalem. This holy city and its temple to Jehovah were destroyed by King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon in 607 B.C. How long was Jehovah’s kingdom over earth to continue inoperative, as represented by his overturned typical kingdom at Jerusalem? By the dream concerning a great tree sent to King Nebuchadnezzar and later interpreted by Jehovah’s prophet Daniel, as recorded in the book of Daniel, chapter 4, Jehovah’s kingdom was to continue inactive toward the earth for a period of "seven times" of Gentile supremacy and dominance over the earth. These "seven times," of 2,520 years’ duration, began at the desolation of Jerusalem and its territory of Judah in 607 B.C. and ended in the historically marked year of 1914 (A.D.). According to the dream of the big tree, as interpreted to Nebuchadnezzar by Daniel, something of universal importance was then due to occur. What?

The year of the start of the "error" of the house of Israel having been found, namely, 997 B.C.E., then if we measure three hundred and ninety years from then we arrive at the date for the destruction of Jerusalem. It is the year 607 B.C.E. Whether the prophet Ezekiel figured out that date on his receiving the prophecy six years before Jerusalem suffered destruction, we do not know. But the exactness of the matter proves that Jehovah indeed is a Numberer of Years and that he had fixed in advance the year in which he was to execute his judicial decision to the full upon unfaithful Jerusalem. This is something for the modern-day counterpart of unfaithful Jerusalem, namely, Christendom, to take seriously to heart at this late date. Does she realize from examining the Bible that her days are numbered?
