Video and pictures just coming in from the world wide protest!
by koolaid-man init was thrilling to participate in the world wide protest, jan, 21-23 2011 exposing the watchtower organization for their policies on deliberately breaking up up families.
we thank all those involved this past weekend for their passion and commitment to help free those trapped in falsehood.
i am aware that many on this forum do not believe in protesting against the watchtower society,and i respect their position.

Made up field service experience at yesterday's Public Talk
by RULES & REGULATIONS inremember the made up stories of witnesses in djibouti,africa where they had to walk 2 days in alligator infested waters with no shoes in the blazing sun to attend the meetings?
they made it to the meetings in these terrible conditions.. talk about made up stories!

Story told in a public talk about a pioneer sister in the US who got up early to clean her house before spending all day on field service. When confronted with a householder who told her she should be spending her time looking after her home, she invited the householder round to see her house. The invite was accepted and an inspection was made by the householder who duly acknowledged its cleanliness and started a study.
Immediately didn't ring true. How many householders would go round and inspect a stranger's house to make sure they'd done their housework?? Oh come on!! Even the speaker was hesitant when he was telling the story as if he had trouble believing it too.

You ever go through extended moments where nothing satisfies you, to the point you wouldn't mind dying?
by miseryloveselders indon't get me wrong, this isn't a call for help or anything like that.
i'm not about to do anything stupid, just feeling a little down and exhausted tonight.
i feel defeated, even though i don't feel as if i'm battling anything.

Yeah, I can relate Miz. I reckon FHN got it right when she said it'll pass. It does - honest. Could it be the weather like you describe? Lots of people suffer from SAD this time of year and need a boost of daylight. Try a bit of exercise if you can, that often gives you the feel-good factor. Or try getting the latest holiday brochures and book a break somewhere - it'll give you something to look forward to.

Ricky Gervais at the Golden Globes
by scotsman ini'm hardly the biggest fan but i thought this was genuinely funny.
he held a mirror up to the overpaid botoxed schmucks and some of them found it funny.
but i'm hearing there's a bit of a criticism.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvhxzp2spla.

Ricky Gervais was awesome! The only holes he punctured were in the self-satisfied, egotistical, botoxed, coiffured prigs sitting in the audience.
