  Reading this might be hard.. Emotionally.. This is the truth...

  every second our watch ticks, thats frequency of our current time.

  the frequency will hit our reality every 1 second.. same method for rainbow frequency.. this is where i need your scientists.

  need confirmation of change on fact of time.. and this... is truth of jehovah.... under sugar water, blue light will appear on left side.. under salt water, red light will appear on right side.. this concept is same for our heart.

  am i the only one who has single, desperate sisters in the congregation?

  they tend to be holier-than-thou, frumpty, but in private talk about getting married.

  but they don't understand why no brother will look at them.

  All Congregations have the desperate single sisters. Funny thing to me is the ones I remember from my Cong when I was growing up, we are now in the 50-60 age range. THe ones that got married early 19-21, some are divorced, some married again, just a few are still married to their mates. But the ones who are still single, I wonder if they're still saying "I"m wating for the new system to find my husband", A man is a man new system are not, nobody would marry these old frumps in a paradise setting anyway.

  It came in today's mail

  by Virgochik in

  it came today, the dreaded envelope containing my personal copy of "return to jehovah" from my elderly, desperate mother.

  it included a small note asking me to read it over and to let her know what i think.

  she got it at her assembly.. firstly, i'm angry that she continues to push her religion on me, given that i stopped attending meetings over thirty years ago, and very offended that she assumes that i still want to be a witness, which is her choice of religion, not mine.

  My mother used to send letters all the time. I told her I just tear them up and throw them away and to stop wasting your time because I don't read them.

  Every two years? Here in NYC they call you every six. That's why I saved the form they sent me the last time to make sure they don't call me before my six years are up.
  

  BTW, I was told that by someone who works with dept that handles Jury Duty, so that's not just hearsay if anyone from NYC doesn't believe the six year rule.

  Point blank, the Bible is against homosexuality. as the scriptures quoted in previous posts point out.

  That's why I have a hard time figuring out what is in the mindset of those who are gay who have been ordained in the Methodist, Espocopalian and the other churches when the Bible clearly states its feeling on homosexuality. How do you take a vow to carry on the word of the Lord with those scriptures condemning homosexuality.

  Was jazz musician Ornette Colman JW ?

  during his los angeles period, many wanted nothing to do with mr. coleman, a long-haired jehovahs witness dressed in clothes made by his wife.

  in mr. cherrys description, he looked like some kind of black christ figure, but no christ anybody had ever seen before.. .

  that's a quote from his obit in the new york times, the long hair and his looking lack christ thing is throwing me off, but the dubs are all a bit off anyway.

  Paraplegic JW example used at assemblies

  by Alfred in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it seems like every time our circuit failed to meet the field service goals set by our co, the very next circuit assembly would invariably include a talk that mentions a chronically ill paraplegic sister who would dial the phone with her tongue to make return visits or conduct bible studies... i must have heard this experience at least 6 or 7 times in the past 20 years or so.

  and every time i heard this recycled talk, they would add even more guilt-inducing twists to it.

  to me, it eventually became way to difficult to believe...

  I remember a sister that attended the Circuit Assemblies on a gurney, flat on her back. All those that were sitting straight up had a hard enough time staying awake, she was on her back, wonder if she was able to listen to drivel and not fall asleep.

  And of course my mother and others would make such vomit inducing comments as "isn't that wonderful, she doesn't let her illness stop her attending . "

  i took a quick trip to the store and i happened to see a young man (about 26-28 years old) who got baptized about the same time i was leaving- about 2 years ago.

  a couple of pioneer sisters found him in the door to door work.

  one of them, a very attractive girl.

  Perfect ! He stated everything clearly.

  When you read his 100 per cent true story as to why he broke away, it amazes the mind that millions of folks actually follow that nonsense.

  We all know da troof is nothing but a real estate and publishing company that has a lot of money and constantly begs for more. What I don't understand is why the 7 old guys in Brooklyn don't have a villa on a secluded island or a penthouse apt in some prime real estate building on the Upper East Side or even out in the Hamptons. With all that money why are they living dormitory style and eating in a cafeteria for all of their lives? If I ran a company and was one of board of directors, why would I or anyone else live like someone who works in mail room would live?
