would it be reasonable to say that children born and raised in the organization of jw's are being set up to fail in the real world?
if so, why?
how?.
I don't know if was said, but one of the reasons(and there are many more) I personally was set up to fail was because "the new system" is right around the corner.
I wasn't supposed to ever get out of grade school....or jr. high....or high school.
Nothing I would ever do would ever matter because the new system was almost here.
Was I lazy? Maybe. But when you tell a teenager that the only thing of any importance is knocking on doors.....well, life ain't all that appealing.
my jaw is on the floor.
after many years my youtube video about jehovah's witnesses and mind control has been taken off the internet.
here is what the page says.
Just watched those. It was great to see you and Mouthy!
just wondering...if there aren't, i'll be sad....
I've seen Manson 3 times and NIN about.....8 times, I think.
I hardly ever look for new music anymore. Tonight though I'll be looking up all the other bands listed above on youtube.
i want to write a rap song about the nu-lite provided by the governing body back in the late 70's i think it was.. i want to convey the historical significance and importance of changing the phrase, "back-call" to "return visit".. any ideas?.
this would surely bring glory to jehovah's earthly organization..
Hijacking my own thread.
Here's something I wrote a couple of days ago:
bought a little glass box today
its empty-it'll always stay that way
yet its for my most prized possession
since now all the baubles pale in comparison
~she told me
here is my heart
here it is now its yours
she gave it to me
said she had little choice
but now she is gone
she had to walk out that door
but her heart is still mine
and i'm keeping it for all time
i hid the box behind some things on a shelf
it'd be too hard to look at all by itself
if i could forget its there i would
if I could forget her....i know i should
~but she said
here is my heart
here it is now its yours
she gave it to me
said she had little choice
but now she is gone
she'll never come back through that door
but her heart is still mine
im' keeping it for all time
i know shes out there-i know she still loves me
but lifes peculiar-i wish we were meant to be
maybe it'll get better with the passage of time
i have to wonder what she did with mine
~because i said
here is my heart
here it is now its yours
i gave it to her
i really had no choice
but now she is gone
had to walk out that door
she still has my heart
sometimes the pain is too hard to ignore
so did the 'da society' give these dub internet savvies permission to start a forum?
because last i checked, the ole boys in their oversized brooklyn bunker didn't want their members on the internet unless it was to view their own official websites.
i thought maybe it was an apostate forum until i read their long winded, typically condescending jdub style membership guidelines:.
I'm sure there's nothing much to see other than:
"Wow, wasn't the TMS great tonight?"
"Sure was!"
"All the parts were really awesome!"
"MOD ALERT: Brother, we only say awesome when referring to Jehovah himself."
"Oh....sorry."
"Mods, what about the faithful slave? would Jehovah mind if we call them awesome? because I sure think they are."
"MOD: After some prayer, I think we can allow that."
carpenters - yesterday once more.
i love this song.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0orogjusbg.
.
I'll admit it, if the Carpenters are on the radio, I won't change the channel. Glad you're ok over there.
subject of the show: "is this a cult?".
i hope they do a good job, my wife watches him every day.. hope steve hassan is a guest..
It is funny how the jw's almost get overlooked when people talk about cults. I think it's because the group itself is so boring. There's really nothing for the mass audience to discuss.
i would assume that some or a good number of us here as normal humans in this society - consider " lawless " actions to include murder , robbery, extortion, rape, child abuse, war , terrorism, etc.
the wt society has their own definition of what's considered " lawless ".
anything that's considered a disfellowshipping offense in the jehovah's witnesses is now considered " lawless ".
On one hand its obvious the writer has never taken a critical thinking course.
On the other would that ever do any good with someone who believes its all about the "Demunz!!!!"?

Always loved this soundtrack, especially the 1st 2 minute song in this video.
