I have several hundred issues that I have been trying to figure out what to do with. Some are serving a useful purpose as a backstop for my airgun. I'd like to take the rest and have a nice fire, but the only time I get a chance to do that is camping and my next trip is with my remaining JW friends... I dont think that would go over well.

Never throw away those Watchtowers and Awakes!
by free2beme init is a sin to throw away your watchtowers and awakes.
you must let them build up and up and up, until you need to store them in boxes that will be places in corners of the attic or basement.
when you find them years later, still do not throw them away or you will die at armageddon!

Do you still believe in JEHOVAH?
by lowden infurther to the thread that minimus stated about 'still believing'....what i want to know is do any of you stil believe in jehovah?
that is, the named god of the bible that sanctioned the genocide of millions of unbelievers.
as the israelites came into the 'promised land' god told them to devote to destruction 7 populous nations and not let a breathing thing live, or in other words commit genocide!!!

Not in the least, I dont need imaginary friends anymore. Then again, Im not sure that I ever did. I just had plenty of people around to tell me that I did.

I still get a regular visit on Saturday mornings. I try to avoid being home around that time, but last week I got stuck. I was in shaving when I heard a knock on the door, but didnt bother going to see about it.
My folks said something to me last week that makes me think some well meaning elder called them, but aside from that there has been no problems.
There are a few things going on in the next 1-3 weeks that might test that though.

Top Ten Signs You're a Fundamentalist Christian
by Elsewhere intop ten signs you're a fundamentalist christian
10 - you vigorously deny the existence of thousands of gods claimed by other religions, but feel outraged when someone denies the existence of yours.. .
9 - you feel insulted and "dehumanized" when scientists say that people evolved from other life forms, but you have no problem with the biblical claim that we were created from dirt.. .

At any rate, Im much better at brewing beer than making wine.

I seem to remember something about this being a conscience matter now. Fairly recent stuff I think. Within the last year of two.
Then again I was only told by a friend, I never read it myself.

I want a refund . . .
by cruzanheart inafter reading all those threads and articles about how much money the wtbts has squirreled away and invested and after volunteering to serve birthday cupcakes and punch at a homeless shelter run by the combined efforts of first presbyterian church and first methodist in downtown dallas, i have decided that i want my money back.. i want back every single cent that i ever contributed to that jabba the hut of an organization that just sits on its money and never uses a penny of it to benefit its members or the rest of humanity.
i want back the $10,000 that my dad "loaned" the society in the 1970's that they -- 10 years later -- strongly suggested he just give to them to save them the trouble of writing a check.. i want to be paid for the 13 years of regular pioneer service that i wasted on that organization.
let's see, at roughly 100 hours a month (that's what the requirement was back then), 1200 hours a year times 13 + 15,600. hmmm, okay, i'll take minimum wage for it -- isn't that $6.50 an hour now?

Not to change the subject too much, but I do recall a conductor on the stage during the songs at the circuit assemblies when I was a kid. It didnt make sense to me even then. I had no idea what the random hand waving was about and I was pretty sure that no one else did either.

What a Hummingbird Taught Me About God
by metatron inlast year, i put out a bird feeder and filled it with seed.
i would frequently watch birds come and go while making breakfast.. during early summer, i passed by the window and spotted a hummingbird hovering near the seed filled feeder, looking around.
as if to say, "where's mine?"..

It is ;easy to accept that God is a judgmental person (male) looking down from above for falling sparrows or me ;coveting ;my neighbour's wife's ass.
We humans insist on describing God in our own limited parameters. I agree with you that God is in fact the whole power of the universe including us. (If that is what you mean).
And I do believe that we can tap into that power through prayer.
I believe that we need Holy Men, spiritual guiders, to assist us. Such Holy Men could include Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed, the Pope, ; Sharmans, etc.
Some of those "holy men" teach that god is a judgemental male looking down from the sky though. Why would we need them?
