  2. family

  just got word that my sister died.

  she had surgery for heart valve replacement about 5 weeks ago, and when they opened her up for it they found cancer.

  we had an extra special relationship since i was her "birthday present" when she turned 10 in 1951. this is my second sibling to die of cancer in 14 months..

  What a fantastic actor and brilliant personality. Thankfully we have so much of him on film to enjoy. "My Favorite Year" is one of those movies I watch over and over again. The other favorite of mine is "The Lion in Winter." Hearing him speak is like poetry.

  RIP Peter, well done.

  Do You Often See JWs Out In The Ministry?

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  i used to always see them preaching.

  now, it seems as though they rarely are around.

  the only witnesses i see, every once in a while, are the hispanic ones..

  I moved from my old hall's territory 8 years ago into a gated townhome division. I have not had any contact with local JW's. There has not been one message on the phone, which records when somebody dials up at the gate to be let in. UPS, Fedex...yes, JW's no. Which tells me there has not been any attempts to work our complex.

  However, I have seen groups of hispanic JW's sloooowly walking down the street talking to each other, not contacting any houses. And I am mean SLOOOOWWW.

  I've been thinking about this. There are still a number who regular aux pioneer, and they must recognize DTD is just not productive. I know one pioneer who goes out dressed casually (jeans), and not just in her territory, and talks to whomever she sees. I feel she is doing her ministry with the right intent; too bad she can't tell anybody because it is verboten.

  It sure is a different day.

  More WT Propaganda: 10 Year Old Children Should Get Baptized!

  by Oubliette in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i just caught this in an upcoming study article which will be "studied" in the congregations the week of 11/18-24/13:.

  he and his wife were elated when their eldest daughter, age ten, told them that she loved her parents, loved the brothers and sisters, and loved jehovah very much.

  she said that she wanted to dedicate her life to jehovah and get baptized.

  How to accept the actions of the Old Testament God

  by confusedandalone in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  how are we able to do this.. this is not an attempt to stir the pot or cause confusion but i was sitting here thinking of all the really horrid things that the old testament god did to people.

  when i was a jw i just purposely put it to the back of my mind always trying to make an excuse.

  when i was in field service and someone would ask me about it i would just change the subject.. however i have been reading alot of info lately here about how wonderful jesus is and how he is a direct representation of what god the father would be.

  AFter I left JW, I took the time to read the gospels...and thoroughly enjoyed them with my JW filter off.

  Then I started to read the OT. I decided I didn't like god very much. He was mercurial and schizophrenic, and down right scary. It really sucked to be born a Canaanite. If god wants your land...you are SOL. I never recovered. Could not marry "God is love" with the real god. Does he love the world or hate the world?
