My JW daughter e-mail my 14 year old granddaughter grades.

by James Mixon in

i called my daughter and told her, please don't encourage my granddaughter to get married until she is 30 or 40. please let her go further in her education.

art 1,algebra 11, english, tools for success, spanish 1, and health science all "a".

i have known so many jw youths that were very bright and end up working in a job well below their skill level..she is in the 9th grade but algebra 2 her class is all 11th graders.. school "technical academy hs".

I have a niece who I encouraged to be a JW along with her sisters and mother , when she was only young.

This niece was very talented in music ,playing the violin and the piano , her school educators wanted her to pursue a career in music by enrolling her in an academy that was prepared to accept her. She refused and chose pioneering ,later married a DH ,JW and she is still living in fantasy land. She used to give solo recitals at concerts while still at school to large audiences.

Her sisters and mother are no longer JW`s and of course niether am I.

I could kick myself for encouraging her on the course she has chosen.

What a waste of talent.

P.S. DH = dickhead

Well you have certainly planted a few seeds whether they take root or not only time will tell .You never know what you said and her own personal experiences she has had and will have , will effect her.

It sounds like a good anti-witness , or a good witness for TTATT.

by smiddy in

i`m no fitness fanatic by any stretch of the imagination though throughout my life i have strived on & off (more often than not , off ) to maintain some level of fitness activity.. i retired about 10 years ago and for the first few years i joined two table tennis clubs , social activity,though not anymore.. and i have become more of a couch potato these past few years with the internet and netflix and the club as my main concern of activity if you can call it that ,and it has been bothering me ,so finally i did something about it.. only a few doors down from me is a medical health clinic with a gym that caters for seniors like myself , so i bit the bullet and joined up .. and i`m proud of it.. if it kills me in the process then i`ll die doing what i want to do at my age.. sorry to bore you with this post ,but what did you expect a future mr. universe ?.

jwleaks ,thanks for the suggestion , however I`m more into walking nowadays and as you know it is a pretty place to walk or ride around.

Going across the lake on the foobridge to the 90 mile beach and walking to the entrance and back is also a good workout .

Is Satan really the bad guy in story of creation?

by evilApostate in

i wanted to take an objective look at satan in the story of creation.

this is not meant to offend those of you who are still christians.

i'm agnostic btw.

smiddy

jwleaks , thanks for that , "how many has God killed " video compared to how many Satan has killed explicitly.

Their is no comparison.

"Jehovah comes up "Trumps " .. If you get my drift ..in the killing stakes and when you reflect on it ,mainly innocent people , old people women and children are the victims of Gods judgements for execution against nations that didnt suit his agenda . They were expendable

The bible says that God never changes ," he is the same today as he was yesterday and will be the same tomorrow "

The old Testament God ,Jehovah , is universally described as a God of war .

The new testament God is universally described as a God of Love.

Post New testament and in this day and age , and the near future ,this is what we can look forward to.

The prophetic view of God in the book of Revelation paints him again as a God who again is bent on destroying millions of people , men ,women ,and children , surely a God of war again and people are again expendable.

So it really is a serious question here , who really is the bad guy ? with the evidence presented before you who do you think is the bad guy ?

Excellent use of language in comments on this site compared with WT publications

by Deltawave in

i think it's great.

when i read posts on here i have to use a dictionary because of the high level of intellectual words yet, when i read a wtbts publication, i have to ignore all the bad grammar and punctuation!

.

smiddy

Aw c`mon guys

, I`ve never had to use the dictionary as much as I`ve had to do , in this one post ,give me a break .

Edit to note : I have never had to use the dictionary for a Watchtower or Awake article ,ever .

Is The Governing Body The Rulers Of A Criminal Organization? Wolves In Sheep's Clothing

by Brokeback Watchtower in

i think we can see that the further we proceed into the future the more criminal this organization looks due to man's more evolved social understanding,, so since this thing is gradual i'm predicting that this evolution will exterminate this cult with a capital fuck you.. since this is a religion that has exported itself(criminal activity) all over the world from usa origins i would expect the usa court system not to come to their aid when reach lawsuits come reaching from all over the world to usa based headquarters living there situated on a contaminated chemical dump site (whether it is properly been clean up it is anybody's guess (i'm guessing not))..

Religion is a protected species in the politically correct world we live in today

Criticise religion ? thats hate speech , forbidden

Look how the world press is reluctant to criticise Islam ,for being a contributing factor in the atrocities carried out in the name of that religion all over the world.

Thats an example of an extremist group of religionists .

The Governing body of jehovah`s Witnesses pale into insignificance in comparison ,and their effect is more subtle.

Besides their such a small group they fly under the radar !

I retired about 10 years ago and for the first few years I joined two table tennis clubs , social activity,though not anymore.

And I have become more of a couch potato these past few years with the internet and netflix and the club as my main concern of activity if you can call it that ,and it has been bothering me ,so finally I did something about it.

Only a few doors down from me is a Medical health Clinic with a gym that caters for seniors like myself , so I bit the bullet and joined up .

And I`m proud of it.

If it kills me in the process then I`ll die doing what I want to do at my age.

sorry to bore you with this post ,but what did you expect a future Mr. Universe ?

Thanks Steph , however do they really forgive 2 or 3 times ? The experiences I remember they cant wait for someone to stumble so they can have a JC against them.
