  Gag alert! Latest email from devout JW Mom

  my mother knows i have lots of issues with the org.

  yet she still forwards me this crap as "encouragement".

  i love my mother, but i wish i could get through to her that jw's aren't any more special to god than anyone else.

  Jehovah could have chosen anyone he wanted to serve Him ..... for some reason He chose you and me.

  Huh?????

  I thought he gave humans free will. Why doesn't he choose all those little babies that'll die at Armageddon?

  you don't have any rights here.

  you cannot do as you see fit - simon can.

  you are just a poster on a free web site and simon is your host.

  A lot of people probably forget that those are the very same posting guidelines they agreed to when they registered.

  here's the text of interviews from the friday afternoon "young people - walk by holy spirit in the congregation" presentation at a 2008 jehovah's witness district convention.

  this transcription approximately covers the second half of the presentation.

  i've omitted names and locations to preserve individuals' privacy.

  And what I saw was that Jehovah really provided him with a job that was able to support his pioneer ministry

  Sure, but she doesn't say how well he's supported.

  When I decided to stop Field Circus for good, I always put in imaginary hours just to avoid becoming "irregular" or "inactive". When questioned about my not meeting the group for FS ... I just chalked it up to "informal witnessing".

  Most Haunting Voices in Music

  by stillajwexelder in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  ok - so after a few threads in the last few days i started listening to some of my old music.

  some artists just have voices that are hauntingly beautiful and stick with you forever.

  for me - the top three are.

  Michael Jackson's "You are Not Alone" ... it doesn't get much more haunting than that.

  From the very first time I heard that song I found it was extremely eerie haunting, but just couldn't put my finger on why. Wasn't until much later I realized why ..... R. Kelly wrote it. If you listen closely you can even hear his background vocals.

  Michael Jackson and R. Kelly ... that's a haunting combination if there ever was!

  I used to like the written review ... absolute quiet and no talking.

  RECENT REVISIONS TO THE KH DRESS CODE?

  by navytownroger in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was told by my former book-study conductor recently that a new 'dress code' had been handed down by the wts, because people had been 'getting too casual' with their styles of clothing.

  one item he mentioed was a new rule for women prohibiting denim skirts.

  and, when a woman wore a denim jacket, she was also told this was not appropriate for the kh.

  Then you could offer to take her home so she could quickly change into something else."

  Yes, I would gladly change into my pyjamas and blow off Field Circus altogether.

  Crummy JW music.

  Kingdumb songs certainly fall into a category of their own.

  I think they are all secretly thrilled with the idea of armageddon coming so they can end the pathetic endlessness of door to door and meetings that currently is their "life".

  No more meetings and Field Circus ... that really is a reason to be thrilled! More time to get a life.

  ok, so i have been thinking about my time as a jw (i'm fading out - read my other posts for background info).

  you know how you always hear how the ministry will bring so much joy and contentment, yadda yadda yadda?

  i always hated service...always!!

  Joy??? What joy was that?

  Oh yeah, I remember now. Joy was something non-existent that you talk constantly about, in the hope that it would materialize.
