i am a disfellowshipped brother and have never had a problem with the organization's doctrines.
i am, however, deeply disturbed at the undeniable use of hidden or subliminal images in the illustrations of the wt publications.
there are so many that it cannot be interpreted as anything other than a deliberate pattern.
neat site...but on the pentacles on the chairs....pentacles are not really from devil worship...doesnt matter too much cause the jws think they are, but they have very old roots....pagan yes, but not bad.
I think a few of those could be coincedental, but others look like they were definately intended. kind of neat...some one in the art department trying to get a message across? hahah
send your resumes...i am a recruiter!
on the serious side....joker is probably stirring up a hornest for fun...hey dont we all once in a while (i am still waiting for my thread hijacker tshirt) but i cannot tell you how many people every day i talk to that were making good money not too long ago that are on the skids looking for a decent job.
you dont have to be a slacker to be unemployed joker...yes, maybe some of us have too much time on our hands...but i have a feeling the majority of people that post a lot on this board are just really good multi-taskers.
that is a great idea...I did not know you could do that
thanks
as per my previous "proclamations of self-achievement" .
i passed my exam !
wohoo ... passed another exam !.
the husband will have to do that or he will NEVER take the test...set the date,,,,and cram a few weeks before hand hahah.
has anyone here read this book?
i'm curious to learn your reactions to it.
i'll also give a quick overview for those of you who've yet to read it.. travels is a non-fictional account of crichton's own person travels, both geographical and spiritual.
don't forget the little bald kid in the Matrix: "there is NO spoon"
sounds like a good read...i will have to pick it up
when i was starting to leave, a read a lot of different books...stuff on aliens...was a huge xfile fan and all that...but I had always been interested in that stuff as a kid, but did not look into anything because it must be demons.
My thinking is much different than it was five years ago...the whole life force thing, that somehow makes a bit more sense to me. I dont believe in ghosts, and I dont believe in demons, and I dont believe in angels...but to believe in angels you would almost have to believe in demons wouldnt you? But I think that there is something to be said about a persons aura..be it spiritual or just some phsysical energy thing.
I would say read as much as you can on different views, some opposing of course. It is an exciting time to be look into possibilties of paranormal, especially when you dont have to feel guilty.
I really enjoyed alien impact...it really gave me a different perspective as to what some people had on aliens, angels and demons...very interesting

after 6 quiet decades as 'friends' and partners, gus and elmer eloped.
that is a great story..good for them!
i may have asked this question before awhile back but i was not able to find it in the search.
other than what the nwt provides for information.. how do the jw's provide proof for this no hell belief?
You know, I sorta of hope the rapture is true...because there sure are a HELL of a lot of baptists down here in Texas, and when that day comes there will be a lot of available trucks with hemis, Lexuses and other really nice vehicles on the side of the road, just waiting for me to pick one.
And I think the guy across the street with the pool will be gone too...we can have an Apostafest pool party!!!
as per my previous "proclamations of self-achievement" .
i passed my exam !
wohoo ... passed another exam !.
Simon, congrats!
that is no easy task....good for you.
My husband is trying to get his company to help finance his tests and study materials so he can get that certification as well. The company wants to be certified as a MS Cert Solutions Provider, so I guess they need a few MCSDs on board to do that.
Way to go.....that certainly is a great thing to add to your resume!
my e-mail account has been compromised.
as a result, i am no longer getting any e-mail or even junk mail ... so someone is re-directing all my e-mail.
also, some of my e-mail are missing, especially in certain sensitive files.
I just stopped using my hotmail accout as well since someone has been using it to spam...that happens alot with hotmail and aol i think...I know a few others that have had trouble in the past several months.

what contributed to priscilla's zeal and courage?
(luke 8:1-3).. yes, the privilege of doing the marketing, cooking, cleaning up, and laundry of 13 men while they did evangelizing.. wt 12/1/75 p. 717 christian greatness comes from serving.
I didn't consider Isaac, because this was apparantly ' a test'....
on the other things you mention, I did not look at it that way, as a sacrifice at all. very interesting...thanks for the info
jw's applied for city rezoning in order to build a six building, 1,000 unit residential complex at 85 jay st. but the folks in that neighborhood don't want it.
"dumbo neighborhood association president nancy webster says the jehovah's witnesses' residential rezoning in brooklyn poses a threat to the area's development.".

New York City, America's capital of hedonism
