"visitors from outer space reveal themselves, and make contact".
now, i realize this is something seen on those supermarket tabloids all the times.
what i am saying, is what if it was true and the networks had it on, cnn, foxnews, msnbc, etc.
I wouldn't believe it. If aliens came from outer space, it would be either covered up, or we'd all be vaporized anyhow.
after i left the organization, one of the things that surprised me the most, was the clergy of christendom and their view of jehovah's witnesses.
i thought as a jw, we were the 'center' of their attention, and they not only hated us, but were afraid of all the things we published about them.. nothing could have been farther from the truth!
most ministers hardly knew anything about witnesses.
Oh yes, I'm reminded of how stinging the message was supposed to be for Christendom. It seemed like any way you observed the situation, it worked out in the JW's favor. If they were openly persecuting us, then it was evidence that God's truth was painful for them to hear! If they didn't care about the message, then they were hopelessly doomed.
an active jw relative told me, "thousands of muslims were converting to become jws.
" i asked, "where?
" response, "i'm not sure.".
What bullocks. I've had no good success in talking to Muslim folks at the door. You can talk about Jesus and Moses, but you aren't fooling anyone. They know you are some sort of Christian and they can agree with Jesus' words, but that's as far as you get. As soon as they tell me they are Muslim, I put away my magazines. No one places anything, and you wish them a nice day. I should work with my PO in a territory where the likelihood of encountering a Muslim is higher than others. He's good at sweet-talking people into listening and I don't think he'd be able to get a Muslim to take any literature. Listen, perhaps, but nothing more.
yesterday, i took a long walk and ended up at the shrine in this city.
it's well known and many tourists come and visit it every year.
it just happened that i had to pee, so i walked inside and after finding the toilets, i visited the huge catholic shrine.
Oh, there are plenty of prayers said at the halls!
"Oh God, please help me not to screw up on my talk."
"Oh God, wait a minute--I FORGOT MY TALK!"
"Oh God, the attendance is really low today. Please help everyone to comment."
"Oh God, I hope he ends the Watchtower study on time. I've got places I need to be!"
"Oh God, we just passed the resolution and we don't have enough to cover it. Please help other elders to dig into their own pockets so I don't have to come up with the cash."
"Oh God, won't someone shut up that baby! I'm trying to pay attention!"
"Oh God, the brother isn't here to cover his assignment! And no one else wants to help!"
"Oh God, I just hope people won't be too mad at me for coming in late. I've had a hard day at work. Please help people not to stare at me when I try to find a seat."

I wonder how long it will take them to start sounding like Cruise. "Psychiatry is EVIL! More service will cure your little bout of depression!"
RESISTANCE IS FUTILE. YOU WILL BE BAPTIZED INTO THE COLLECTIVE.
i posted another version of this a few months back.
at the time i asked for comments on it, and subsequently ignored almost everything anyone told me.
" others recommended a differet tone.
It was long, but the flow was so good, I didn't even notice. The letter was thorough, coherent, and consistent. Here's hoping your mom reads the whole thing...

while visiting a community furniture project,i saw man's search for god among items for sale.. know of any unusual places that had wt publications?
One time we were driving around looking for a park, and on a lark we decided to go take a look at my old elementary school. School was out for the summer. For some reason, there were magazines and tracts littering the area around a dumpster bin. One of them had writing on the front. Apparently a teacher sent a student down to counseling for throwing Awakes around a classroom and causing a disturbance.
My dad made my sister and I pick them up and clean up the school driveway though...
i had to laugh about lebron's comment that the greeks "don't know what to do.
" generally speaking, these u.s. nba players are overpaid lazy egomaniacs that were outclassed by a bunch of guys few here in the states have ever heard of.
let's toast the greeks for serving these guys a nice slice of humble pie!
Great. Now we just need to play American football with other countries and lose to that, and the shame will be complete. I mean, it was a foolproof plan! Pay these guys obscene amounts of money, then win the gold! What a waste of resources.
We need to get the And1 guys in there and break some ankles.
