  first, let me apologize for my extended absence.

  i was out of the country and took a vacation a while back.

  when i came back, i realized that i had inadvertently broken my jwd addiction.

  Does Anyone Know Any of the Newer GB Members? Please share your stories.

  by neverendingjourney in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have read some threads here that suggest that anyone thinking big changes are coming to the watchtower due to all of the new gb appointments is fooling themselves.

  its been said that ted jaracz has been heavily involved in selecting new gb members and wants to ensure that they all share his hard-line vision for the religion.

  i must admit that i thought there would be big changes by now since six of the nine gb members were appointed within the last eight years.

  The Wave: A short movie about mind control

  by neverendingjourney in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is a very good short movie about how mind control works.

  it's based on a true story of a high school teacher that started his own cultish student organization modeled after the nazis.

  it's very easy to see the parallels with jws.

  Relax...Isaac Newton said the end would come no earlier than 2060

  by neverendingjourney in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i just ran across this article.

  the following words caught my attention: "in one manuscript from the early 1700s, newton used the cryptic book of daniel to calculate the date for the apocalypse, reaching the conclusion that the world would end no earlier than 2060.

  i'll say this: at least isaac newton's word is way, way more reliable than the watchtower bible and tract society's.

  Is the 2008 version of the Watchtower really about saving money?

  by neverendingjourney in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when i first heard of the new watchtower arrangement, i immediately thought it was another in a long line of cost-cutting moves.

  i thought they were interested in cutting the overall number of magazines they print every month.

  so if they printed 20 million copies every 15 days, they could now print seven or eight million out of one of the monthly editions and cut over 10 million of magazines a month.

  Isn't Jehovah an Awesome God?

  by neverendingjourney in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  doesn't jehovah deserve to be lauded for his loving kindness?

  jehovah deserves to be praised for the intense love he feels for us all, even while in the womb.

  his word, the bible, tells us that before he formed each and every one of us in the womb, he knew us.

  Does eating a rare steak = eating blood?

  by neverendingjourney in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i always wondered about this when i was still a jw.

  i just assumed that it was improper for a jw to eat any meat that wasn't thoroughly cooked, especially steak.

  i though everyone could see that the red juice contained blood, which, if eaten, amounted to a violation of the prohibition against eating blood.
