  Poor JWs on a RV today........

  you talk to people in general about jws and what a crock of shit their beliefs are and you think 'maybe i went on too much!

  ' 'perhaps they weren't really listening anyway!

  ' "i wish i hadn't bothered!'.

  This "inthetruth" person whoever he/she is made me roll my eyes and that's quite a feat.

  You know..if I wrote what this person did and the Elders in my former congregation found out about it I'd be so in for a session with them. I can hear W.H. right now, I can even tell you what scriptures he's quote. Gal 5:22 "Do you think your words were kind?" then Gal 6:1 and then asking me questions to get me to admit i don't have those qualifications because I'm not an elder, then Eph 4:29, 31 and 32 with questions designed to get me to admit that I was not applying that councel in my post. He would also use 2 Tim 2:23-26 and 1Cor13:4 to tie it all together and maybe even throw in a verse about not associating with such ones although that would most likely come from the PO.

  By the end I would be hanging my head in shame that I went online to an "apostate" website and posted such an unchristian comment, maybe even in tears if he played it right. I wonder how inthetruth's elders would handle this case? I would love nothing better than to find out who and where this person is and report it to the local elders.

  Lets see how long the "smirk" would last then eh?

  But what if they're right............still the Truth?

  this will probably apply to few here, but to me it'll always be that way.

  it's the what if syndrome maybe, but it's always there.

  i still think that as a core belief system the jw's have it right, even if their delivery isn't always right.

  It doesn't matter if they are right or wrong. What matters is that you have the right to choose how you are going to live your life, what paths you will follow. You're right to choose is a most precious one that cannot be taken from you so use it

  If it turns out your choice was "the wrong one" and God had decided you must die then at least be human enough to stand up and say "I was wrong. So be it".

  this sounds strangely similar to janet jackson's "wardrobe failure" publicity stunt.

  is it a dog's leg?

  agreed. It's worth a laugh.

  I love European commercials. They are so much funnier because people there seem to be less stuck up than a lot in NA.

  The Bethel downsizing letter

  by OnTheWayOut in

  i was at the kh and the official discussion of the letter on the cover of the sept. kingdom ministry took place.

  the instructions were to include a discussion of how the need for workers in the field was great.. basically, the letter says that due to technology, less bethelites are needed, so many are being sent out into the field, with many congregations in the united states receiving the benefits of these "mature" publishers.

  yes, they actually said they were sending older ones packing from bethel.

  Someone here at JWD was speculating the next big anouncement will be the start of Tithing to the WTS ...It wouldn't surprise me!!

  Somehow I don't think so................ Something else is afoot here

  They are up to something

  How many of you are still "active Witnesses"?

  i'm curious about some of you who post here and say that you attend jw meetings regularly.

  what motivates you to post here, and does anyone in your congregation have any clue you're doing that?

  The last time I was to a meeting was spring of 2002 when I moved to a new city.

  For 6 years before that my attendance was sporadic at best and as for FS I stopped being "active" in that about 94/95

  kinda cool although the features are discernable when you view the pic properly so it's not much of a "subliminal" image

  Well if you'd quit shouting for a moment... hehehe LOL

  When you turn the pic 90 degrees it's a face. Clearly discernable are eyes, nose and lips. The clouds look like a scowling old man.

  More US lies to talk up case for war

  at it again just as they did with iraq.. no doubt this report was preparation to have something to quote when trying to drum up support for a war.. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/5346524.stm.

  Of course there will be a war. That fact is inevitable.

  1838: The British steamer "Great Western" crossed the Atlantic from Bristol to New York in 15 days. A ship that could move independently of wind, weather and tides. newspapers hailed the marvel saying things like "The commercial, moral and political effects of this increased intercourse, to Europe and this country must be immense."

  They also said that because of the expansion of business, the rapid spreading of information and the resulting reduction in prejudice it would make war a thing almost impossible......simpler times perhaps???

  No. There has never been a simpler time. NEVER in all of human history. Everything has always been as complex as it is right now in 2006. People change, technologies change however the forces at work within us..whatever it is that drives us to be human..that will always stay the same.

  1838: Boers slaughter 3000 Zulus in Natal; British forces invade Afganistan

  1839: Ottoman Empire invades Syria,; The Opium war erupts between Britain and China. Steamships did nothing but get men into battle more quickly.

  A century later 1944 World War 2, my goodness we've started numbering them now. and in the 50's everyone was saying about television what they said about steamships.

  "Television offers the soundest basis for world peace yet presented. International television will knit together the peoples of the world in bonds of mutual respect"

  Not!!!!!!! Personally I believe we are going to witness a Third World War in the next 10-50 years. One that will be fought using 21st century technology..it might well be a conflict from which we will never recover. Resources, religion, language, culture, past history...these are all just excuses, nothing more.

  Humans fight wars because that's what we do. I fear it will never end.
