  just skimming the latest study wt that has been posted and what did i see...?.

  i wonder what the message is that they want the flock to take from this picture?.

  there is also an article about training younger men to take over responsibilities.

  I think the message they will get is ... the Watchtower wants you to dress like your dad, don't use hair gel, and those smart phones look suspiciously worldly, too.

  My redneck friend always tells me that "normal" is a setting on a clothes dryer. Good advice.

  Awesome! I will be messaging all of you! Thanks for being willing to be a contact while I plan my trip. If I'm able to meet any of you while I'm over there, even better!

  finallysomepride ... I was spitting out my drink laughing when I read your cheer for the All Blacks! I had to google it. You would NEVER find a sports team in America called the All Blacks! Haha! I would LOVE to see a rugby game, though!

  What were Jesus's 'Miracles' supposed to prove?

  by nicolaou in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the healings, feeding the five thousand, walking on water, resurrecting the dead.

  none of it happened of course but let's take the bible literally and say that it did.. so?.

  didn't magic practicing priests perform 'miracles' in a contest with aaron?

  It proves that "tall tales" have existed for a very long time. Maybe Jesus really existed; maybe not. But his greatness has definitely been exaggerated, just like that of Paul Bunyan and Johnny Appleseed in America.

  I guess I do have one big question for everyone that I will put there ...

  What part of the country is the best part to stay for a first timer? Mind you ... I am not into touristy stuff or hotels. I would prefer to rent a place off of airbnb. I found one place I really like. It's close to Tahuna beach. I want to explore both islands while I'm there, so I was thinking right in the middle of the two islands would be great, but having never been there ... not sure.

I would love to have someone I can ask questions while I am in the planning stages. Best area to stay, etc. I will be a solo traveler for two weeks and then more will join me, so one of the questions I have is whether are any areas that solo travelers should avoid. If you familiar with NZ and wouldn't mind me pm'ing you questions periodically, please let me know!

  Thank you for your help!

  Question about an elder and if I am crazy

  by life is to short in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  ok so i have a question.

  i was a very, very true believer until i saw the child molesters in my hall and how that whole thing was handled.. my husband is older than i am and had been an elder for 12 when we married.

  so fast forward to 06, we are in a hall where i thought all the elders were ok at the worst and great at the best.

  My question is am I crazy or is this just truly nuts and insane.

  I'm gonna go with "this is just truly nuts and insane." He sounds dangerous.

  Also, KUDOS to you for taking a stand on this issue, and trying to protect kids in the congregation. If everyone would stand up to the Watchtower leadership, protecting child molesters would never be allowed within the ranks. It will take a larger majority to take a stand and change things, but it always starts with one, and this time you're it. You really should be proud.

  "Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not." - Dr. Seuss

  Also, I don't know the circumstances with your husband or how he feels, but I think its time for you two to make a clean break (okay ... a break from JWs is never exactly clean). Right now, they are helping to dictate your emotional state and that is a lot of power to give to them. We have all been there and allowed them to do it. I'd say it's time to take your power back.

  Dr. Seuss was one smart guy: "You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You're on your own, and you know what you know. And you are the girl who'll decide where to go."
