The peanut gallery of opinions that often chime in on american issues and politics is painfully silent on this post.
Really? no opinions on this?
so sad.
i love europe.
i love going there not as a tourist, but just blending in and spending time with locals in non-touristy local gems.. islam seems to be spreading their religion of peace throughout the continent.

Hopefully the size of the attack that happened in Pakistan doesn't make its way into European borders.

Islam seems to be spreading their religion of peace throughout the continent. Officials seem puzzled how complex a network these "radicals" have, but maybe its time they admit that the religion is radical in nature and that gives them a vast network of "non-radicals" who actually help and support their cause.
People want to compare islam with other religions that have "radicals", but do any of them have such a large worldwide network assisting their agenda? No they don't. Most other disgusting religions like Christianity of been dulled by progress and have died out. You cannot compare the dangerous idiots in Christianity to the worldwide threat and destruction network of the Islamic religion of peace. And now Pakistan...
I hope Europe takes care of their business, I'd like to come back and I have a feeling its not getting any better.
Solutions???
during the wt study yesterday i had a confused look on my face the whole meeting.
more of a, wtf, face.
one paragraph says, "therefore,the number of partakers does not accurately indicate the number of anointed ones left on earth.".

I too had the WTF face and I asked my wife "so why count the partakers at all?"
All this discussion about how its not accurate ... What's the point of counting? I foresee them not counting in the future.
hello, i thought i should introduce myself.
first, i apologize if my writing is not too good because english is not my first language.
my name is art and i am 25 years of age.
Don't feel hopeless. You can turn this into the best thing in your life.
You need to cleanse yourself of the fear, guilt and obligation of the JW religion. Get to know your true self. Live as your true self. You may not have as big a circle of "friends" but your life can now be filled with true friends, and real truth.
my name is christian and my wife is katja, and we have been out of the organization for a year and a half.
we were both regular pioneers and i was a ministerial servant.
we were very much happy to be witnesses and doing our best to do more for the organization.
well the "pious" elders tuned out to be " super pious" and very good at reciting from the " very super pious" elders manuel, but actually " super pious" elders are quite harmless when ignored.. as for my former friends in the congregation, well throughout the ages there have always been people prepared to stand up for truth and friendship, sadly my " former" friends from the congregation proved not to be people of such noble character, instead only capable of giving short contrived speeches about why they missed me at meetings, snooze, and no great loss, as i have found the community outside the w.t organisation positively buzzing with unconditional friendship.. anyway i feel i have overcome all hurdles in my exit from the " w.t" except one,which is how i deal with my disrespectful father.
even when i was a witness in good standing, he had a pretty disrespectful and rude word power, now it's completely inappropriate.
i have tried pointing this out, even had long periods without contact, but i don't like doing that as it denies my mum seeing her grandson.. however what i have concluded is that this isn't w.t at fault.
Elders are quite harmless when ignored.
True statement. This is where their power ends. Once they can't make you feel the pressure of guilt and obligation they become just what they really are. Nothing .
ezekiel 37:15-17 prophesies about two sticks being joined together to become 1. one stick represented the two tribe kingdom of judah and the other stick represented the 10 tribe of israel (ephraim).
the article explains how the coming together of these two sticks meant the reuniting of these tribes in 537 bce.the modern day fulfillment was previously taught to mean that the anointed had once again come together in unity in these last days.the july watchtower now explains that one stick, the stick of judah, represents the anointed and the other stick, the stick of ephraim, represents the other sheep.
they further explain that since 1919 god's people have gradually reunited to become one flock.they are now saying that the other sheep are represented by 10 tribes of israel.
They are doing what the North Korean pseudo-religious-nationalistic cult does. Makes understanding the religion such a cluster-f*ck that all the adherents (although confused) nod and agree out of fear of being the one who doesn't get it. Works like a charm.
These convoluted new light circle jerks don't even interest witnesses anymore. If you asked them about this one, or the generation or the memorial date, anything! they will give you this look.
i wanted to write my experience on how my husband helped me see the ttatt (the truth about the truth).
first, let me mention that he wrote his own experience a couple months ago under the name sanchy.
