  I have a profound distaste for embedded pages that have sound.

  I also just found out why I can't quote anything or make smilies: this forum is not very Firefox-friendly. Thankfully I have IE Tab, but otherwise...

  set to "hail the theocracy ever increasing, wondrous expansion is now taking place..." .

  JW obsession with dates, etc

  by praiseband in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm posting this not as a criticism, but as a perspective from a non-jw.

  most christians would be sooooo boggled by the complete obsession with historical dates that jw's can argue back and forth about for ever it seems!

  i'm not voicing an opinion here about whether there is merit to it or not.

  Well said, VM. Get rid of the dates, and you get rid of the immense urgency, which the Org. needs to drive the r&f.

  My P.O. suggested that I should go to Bethel. "After all, it's the safest place to be this side of this system of things," he said.
  To this day, they've still got kids saying they want to go there. These kids are better off slinging burgers at McDonalds; at least that pays more, and you'll have a lesser chance of coming in contact with a child molestor like Jesus M. Cano...

  Were YOU Depressed When You Were A Witness?

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  i've seen soooo many witnesses taking meds or alcohol because of unhappiness and depression.

  i know of one woman who regularly gos to her shrink and is the most depressed person that i know of.

  personally, i believe it's because a jw can never do enough to satisfy god or the elders....what do you think?

  Sir, that's depressing.
  --minimus
  Yeah, I gotta get out of the house. But don't worry, we all learn to deal. I feel bad for other kids in my hall who have a lot more issues on their plate than...getting the blues every so often.
  On the plus side, my family has a really good sense of humor. Depressed people make the best comedians.

  i just stepped out into my back yard and thought i was going to melt.

  i was going to fill up the inflatable pool for my son, but by the time it gets filled up, the water will be about 90 and not worth the bother.

  i'm sure that other california people can relate to this.

  Is this a "new thought"? (to use Witness jargon)

  by slimboyfat in

  1. jw

  the latest release, live with jehovah's day in mind, states on page 107:a christian who loves kindness will certianly not exploit his fellow worshippers.

  for example, he realises that it would be neither proper nor kind to start a business or promote an investment scheme that targets felllow believers as the main customers.

  it would display greed, which christians are warned against, to plan on making money hastily by exploitng fellow christians.

  Hmm, I can think of at least one company that the uppity folk in my hall by supplies from. Madzay, I think it is. They make little covers for texts, holders for brochures and tracts, and so forth. I guess they have to go out of business now...?

  I know, today was grossly hot. I agree, San Diego should not be this hot. I want a return on my sunshine tax, sure, but this is just...Oklahoma status. Miserable without a breeze.
  I think we're going to see a movie this afternoon, just to sit somewhere air-conditioned.

  Were you like me, or was I different?

  .

  i remember going to meetings at the hall, and when the meeting was over, i wanted to leave right away, and not see a jw t'il the next meeting.. i thought of this thread because i see so many witnesses having lunch together after meetings and many seem to always want to be together even when the meetings are over.. i never did like this closed circle of jw's.

  For most of the young people, and a goodly amount of others, being a witness is a convenient social network. I can name at least three or four young people who don't care about meetings; they just go to meet up with people and do something afterward. Or they go because they have to.
