just saying
I hope you feel better after a good nights sleep and a couple of Vino`s .

11Feeling A Bit Down Today
by jacobm inhey y'all, .
i'm not sure about you, but i occasionally get those days where i feel a bit down, as if i have no friends.
i do have a number of great friends, though, and am very thankful for them.. i think it might have to do with the residual programming of having a "worldwide brotherhood".

Why all the secrecy in Gods organisation?
by Truthexplorer inlooking back and seeing all the secrecy and cover ups throughout wt history such as the secret elders books, the branch correspondence guidelines, the shameful lying and deceipt exposed during the arc questioning, the in-house way of dealing with things, the lack of openness to the media on issues such as blood or child abuse or anything controversial for that matter.
could this relate in some way to russell's alleged past as a freemason?
it seems quite strange that the founder of the bible students quite possibly may have been a freemason, (an organisation well known for its secrecy).

I agree with OneEyedJoe
Listener ,I`m not sure Crazyguy is suggesting his 2 boys are on their own with a MS studying the Bible.
Please clarify Crazyguy .

Is it just me or is their no program about Jesus on this 3 day Convention.?
After all , he has been ruling invisibly in the Heavens since 1914 Hasn`t He ?
I would have expected by now , to have a 5-7 day Convention highlighting all the achievements /blessings to the Jehovah`s Witnesses they have received this past 102 years since his rule started .
Sadly all I seem to see is , new light , new light , new light /,adjustments , adjustments , adjustments, evidently this evidently that ,flip flops here ,flip flops there ,back flips.and not one of their expectations has ever materialized in over 137 years since C.T.Russell started this religion.
Without trying to be facetious , is the Holy Spirit on Drugs ?
Definetely / Absolutely , no evidence of Holy Spirit Direction anywhere in this 102 year supposed rule of Christ Jesus.

You sound like you are very immature for a 21 year old who has not responded at all to posters who have given you good reason to see the red flags/ cult controlling/invasion of privacy /manipulative practices of a so called Christian religion , that has really been a front for a real estate / publishing empire .

Tell your J.W.family , you were always taught that Jehovah provides for his faithful servants , why isn`t he providing for you ?
You have cut us off , not even seeing our child all this time ,and you expect D.F. persons to bail you out of your financial problems ?
Where is your J.W.family `s help ? The G.B.`s help ? We hear about it all the time in the W.T., the Awake,J.W.org.,how come they are not helping you.?
The Organization is reaping millions of Dollars in their Brooklyn sales of property , and their sale of branches all over the world , so surely they can help you .?
The best I can offer you is ...Wait on Jehovah ,Trust in Jehovah ....He will provide .
We need all the money we have to provide for our child , health ,dentistry ,education ,for the next 20 years , so you can understand we are not in a position to help at this time .
Oh by the way , when can we expect a visit from you to greet our child ? Since you haven`t done so yet ?
etc.etc.

Excuse me mate , didn`t you say you are both 21 years old ? , are you sure your not 12 years old ?
What 21 year olds need to have a chapperone in this 21st Century.? Do you want to be controlled by other peoples standards for the rest of your life ? Or are you man enough to make your own decisions.
What Country do you both live in ? Saudi Arabia ? Syria ?
If they question what you have done in your relationship tell them to mind their own business , it is between you and your GF and nobody else.
You say you are 21 , you should have grown a set of balls by now so stand up for yourself and the woman you love , if you fail to do that , you are not the man for this woman.
If you allow them to interfere in your lives now ,it will never end , you will always be manipulated by them .
I`m sorry if I have come across real blunt ,but I believe it`s necessary sometimes .

The changing world - The Chinese in the west.
by fulltimestudent ini was hosing the garden at the front of our apartments earlier this morning, and this large gang (20-30 people) of elderly chinese went past, picking up rubbish in the street.
it suddenly clicked that this was 'clean-up australia' day.
what interested me was the involvement of this group of elderly chinese, and i assume that this is likely happening across sydney in all the many suburbs that have become 'chinese' in the last 35 years.

I think what you have stated about N.Z. and the Chinese buy ups , could equally apply to Australia.if not more so.
Who knows what the long term goal of China is for our region ?
China has also taken out a 99 year lease on the Port of Darwin , now America has asked to expand their B1 bomber presence in Darwin , a bomber with nuclear capabilities .The Chinese are flexing their muscle in the South China Sea , much to the consternation other nations.
It will be interesting to see how Japan ,the Phillapines ,Indonesia ,react to all this.
Exciting times ahead
Just saying.

I`m glad to hear your hubby is supporting you .Elders are big fish in a little pond ,irrelevant in the real world.
Edit to add : Governing Body members are even bigger fish in a much smaller pond who delusional`y think they "Are" relevant in the real world.
