  dear all,.

  those of you who have posted here regularly for the past four years have helped me immensely in my recovery from watchtower and have shared with me in my journey.

  you will also know that, after winning my battle with watchtower (save for one daughter who is still stuck fast in the org and shunning the rest of us), i have been fighting an even greater battle these past three years - cancer!.

  Are some of us still judgmental and think ourselves morally superior?

  is a certain "uptightness" creeping into our community?.

  should we be scolding one another?.

  especially kids?

  Am I being judgemental when I say, JW's are emotional misfits?

  If JW's message is so urgent and Armageddon is imminent..

  then why do the walk so slow when out in field service?????????.

  honestly, i saw some dubs out witnessing yesterday and they have invented the "worlds most incredible slow walk".

  it makes a glacier look like a speeding avalanche.

  POE, good point. Yes, why the urgency to preach? Personally, I enjoyed the ministry, I've meet many kind people, I never forced or pressured anyone to accept the literature. I've met many kind and lonely people who welcomed me in and we just chatted about life in general. The 1975 expectation never impressed me one bit. Mine you, I'm from a different era plus sports played a major part in my thinking.

  i have a laptop that i bought december of 2005, i paid a good amount of money to get a full warranty on it, it is supposed to cover anything that happens to it, including things like theft, if i lost the laptop they would replace it with a new one and so on.

  over a month ago the thing would not turn on, i took it into the store and they took it to their service dept and gave an order report, all i have to do is wait for it to be fixed.

  so, i wait and i wait and then i wait some more, by now it's been four weeks and no word from the company.

  Yes, report them to BBB. So much for your warranty, have it checked out.

  Thanks Frank. Let me get this right, according Franz, what's good for goose is not good for the gander? Is all this a matter of convenience for some?

  It was my understanding that Franz was not baptized as a witness. Am I to understand that one can be baptized in another denomination and if he associates or starts another religion, his baptism is official in the eyes of God? If so, then WHY must people who have been baptized in another religion need to get baptized to become a JW? Just a innocent question.
