heard my spouse utter those words today, nice words couldn't have been said, spouse is starting to realize that all that work in the d-d isn't paying off for those at the door nor for those knocking.

have been waiting for this for a long time

I sucked at d2d so badly it was embarrassing. I never got the hang of it even after a year of PI'ing. I was pathetic and thought that I must not have as much faith as the others who were really good at it (or so I thought). They always made it as smooth as an assembly part. My experiences PI'ing actually fed into the idea that they are not the happiest people on earth nor do they have a monopoly on love. They hate one another much of the time PI'ing.

Why do JWs mostly go door to door in the mornings?

by asilentone in

it might have been better if jws go door to door in the afternoon instead in the morning.

fire away your comments!.

Perry,

My family came into it like that, too, and it spread down through the generations like wildfire. I'm a 4th and my kids were 5th. There are some 6th's in the family, too. Are you trying to say 6th's, now?

[insert indiana jones music] i missed friday's session because i had to work.

actually i wanted to work, instead of go to the dc.. .

i happen to run into a "brother" who happened to work with me on quickbuilds not too long ago.. he was df'd for a bit and reinstated this year.. my mom had talked to him on friday about my current situation (not attending meetings).. he said he wanted to talk to me to see how things were going (red flags in my head).. .

The CEO and other imperfect leaders of ENRON still had to go to prison for what they did. They were legally held accountable for others' actions because they were the leaders.

HERE IS THE STORY......SO FAR.........

by Terry in

1. a tribal myth was passed from generation to generation that the jews were a special and chosen people who would be above every other nation.. jehovah's darlings!

the lord's favorites!

kings, priests, rulers over everybody else!.

Nice! Gives me food for thought. That would explain how the myth was propagated through the centuries.

Pigs are as smart as dogs. I can't imagine killing one. They can make great pets. Cows, too. I love them.

day 8

the elders announced a new meeting schedule at the morning meeting.

on sunday, we will still have the public talk followed by a study of old watchtower articles until we get new magazines.

This is what got me to thinking about the "wonderful prospect of living forever on a paradise earth." As I saw how horrible and corrupt the leadership was, I came to realize that I didn't want to live forever under them. I was taught the essence of that story, that the elders would lead everyone. They are doing a real bang up job now (things get broken and people injured). Since personalities are extremely slow to change, if they do at all, I just couldn't bear the idea of suffering through waiting for them to get better. I'd rather live really well now standing proud than kneeling on my knees forever groveling and slobbering at Jehovah's feet (elders).
