the governing body is preparing to take a major hit.
this recent watchtower shows it.
not the new understandings, but the article on marriage.
What stands out to me is the picture is showing a relatively young/vibrant age group...no older ones. I think that is on purpose to appeal to a younger crowd and to show what "hip" organization it is. (NOT! Same boring, tedious, destructive message.) I don't think it's a fair or accurate picture of a congregation.
Nice try WT.

if you are/were an active jw, you are now here on jwn so, for whatever your reasons, you woke up to some degree- hopefully a great degree.
so what i am saying may not apply to you.. i know that if i had not already left, i would have stormed out on the day they studied "overlapping generation.
" i am quite confident i couldn't have stayed for such an obvious switcharoo just to make the end seem imminent and try to explain how wts was wrong, but not entirely wrong in the past.. but i had to wonder how that change (or others) didn't cause most jw's to walk out.
That's about it. They want it to be true...talking snakes or golden tablets...it's magic and a fairy tale they want to be true.
Congratulations!!!

I'm not very interesting...7 pages. Good to see the names of former posters.
eight year old getting baptized!
(from a jw site.
this 8 year old sister was the youngest of the 31 who were baptized at a regional convention in bogo city, cebu, philippines on the weekend.
Ugh. So it continues.
99% of all funerals that i have attended have been the wt version, where they preach about the resurrection into paradise and say little about the person who passed other than they were loyal to jah.
the other 1% catholic for grandparents.. now that i consider myself an atheist, i got to wondering what do atheists plan for when they die?.
if you are a non-believer what are your plans for when you die?
I will donate my corpse to science. I had a cousin who was an oncologist who convinced me of this.
Then I hope my family and friends have a party with my favorite food and they laugh and tell lots of stories.
in an earlier thread, i mentioned that i wasn't a particularly doggy person but that my parents got a husky last year that i've come to regard as a kind of brother.. huskies superficially resemble wolves and for me it's been fun to compare and contrast husky and wolf behaviour.
huskies howl but rarely bark, and seem to have a strong prey drive and a strong pack instinct - a nod to their wild cousins.
this is why i love huskies, i think.. do you have a favourite dog breed and why?.
I love love love boxers. So smart and so communicative!
My best friend has a cane corso, an Italian mastiff. He is interesting...a bit aloof, but always on call as a guard dog. I like Rotts also.
small dogs, love the personality of dachshunds.
it is xmas time and perfumes and colognes are on the list.
what do you really love for a scent if you were being given a gift?.
Speaking of weird, I've been wearing a fragance I bought from a gift shop in Oregon. I don't remember who makes it, but it's aroma is "Tabac." It's pretty earthy and I mix it with musk some days. It's sort of earthy and I like it for some reason.

Now that brings back memories. Clinique right?
aawa activists burst into a kingdom hall in kent.
.
.
I understand the video is not AAWA. But prominent members, and board members post pictures and videos of themselves giving the middle finger outside of KH's? Didn't they post videos at Bethel mocking them because they asked for a new Bible and received one? Among other things...just what I remember. I mean...it is attitude...right?
Oh sheesh...I'm remembering more now...
