The world has never been better than what we have today and the future is very bright....
How different from the gloomy world that the witness preach about, the bad conditions we live in and the that the world is getting worse.

i was always told that god did loads of stuff that was evidence of his existance.
ususally very brutal things too (b#st@rd).. jesus walked on water and raised the dead we are told.. it seems to me also that the older the story, the more exaggerated it is...y'know...talking snake......global flood.. there are those that claim god speaks to them now and they alone 'know' it.
(cuckoo!!!).
He's a god of love...too busy loving himself and not be preoccupied with little humans.
And if you don't give him the love he needs and wants........... he'll kill you.
i was pondering this teaching yesterday.
the claim is that jesus and jehovah came and inspected all the religions and in 1919, chose rutherford as the fds.
today, the claim is that the governing body is the fds.
Nothing makes sense....whatever they believe today will be changed next year. The lighter always gets brighter.........ask any JW.
i was a member of a congregation in brooklyn, n.y. prospect congregation to be exact.
in early 2000.it was dissolved.
i never found out why.
Not enough members?
I've seen it back in Illinois and TN. They split because of the growth and then eventually 8-10 years later they combined them again due to not enough publishers in each congregation.
so the question is posed in this week's watchtower study at our former cult's houses of indoctrination.
i should like to answer it, and i should like to hear your answers too.. the question is in two parts, and i shall address each one in turn.. q. is my life more meaningful?.
my life is more meaningful.
Much happier now to live a life not controlled by a few men in Brooklyin or whatever they moved to.
from purely anecdotal evidence, i believe women are more indoctrinated on average.
i can openly disagree with the governing body with men and it results in a discussion however, most women i've talked to have immediately shut me down by ending the conversation.
the only person currently shunning me is a woman.
I did notice being in the borg for 32 years that women would accpet the "truth" a lot more often than men. Sad to say very often it broke up many happy marriages as the wife would
spend nights and days away from her husband by going to meetings and knocking on doors.
with the polar vortex swirling further and further south and breaking records how cold is it where you are?.
.
here in gettysburg pa last night night we hit a low of -4 degrees but we were blessed with some wind that dropped the wind chill down to -22..
70d. in Oceanside, California.
Feel bad for all of you on the East coast.
i used to have a webpage saved and i have lost it.
a young man and his wife had faded.
they had a birthday party for their child and were called before a judicial committee.
Hope it ends well for you and not get DF.
I personally walked away ,slowly missed meetings and faded. Never got DF even though my ex wife and father in law worked their butts off to get me DF, they failed.
The results though are the same,whether you are DF or fade.... no so called JW " friends "will talk to you again and as i told you my daughter has not talked to me in 4 years since the word will spread that you do not believe in the watchtower doctrines anymore.
Good luck

it has been about 2000 years since jesus walked the earth and has been hailed as the son of god by christians .. the jews refuse to acknowledge jesus as the son of god.. the muslims recognise jesus as only a prophet .. their are billions of christians earth wide.
their are at least a billion muslims world wide.
i`m sorry i dont know how many jews their are world wide ( please add the 6 million who died in concentration camps ).
No parent would allows the suffering of his children if he had the power to do something about it.
No loving God would allow the suffering of billions....you could blame Satan but a mighty God would and could easily crush him and there would be no reason to wait and prove a point.
None of us would allow it to go on.......excuses, excuses, excuses, christians need to stop excusing God.
Mankind has worshipped "GODS" for 1000's of years, have not heard and seen him because he's not up there.
