Can't keep up with pace !!

i take a chance and start my first thread :.

as it has been posted quite a few times lately, there has been a noticeable increase in the posting population on this board (i've added my bit) in the latest few months.

the consequence is that it takes an awfull time to read these posts -all the more so when one is a non native english writer- and one may feel that any posting we would like to do will be diluted in the whole lot, and/or come too late.

Let the stones cry out!
by WTWizard in

how often have you heard the phrase "if we don't preach, the stones would cry out"?

this is in regard to the ministry.. what i cannot figure out is (1) this is so urgent that we have to be out 18+ hours a day doing it, (2) we have to endure all sorts of conditions to accomplish our ministry, and (3) we are supposed to get it perfect so people can be drawn in.

so, why don't the stones get to help us out?

as promised here is all of the info regarding what has been going on.

per the last jc with the elders i realized that all i had done was buy time.

they felt that we should be df'ed right on the spot, but because i made a plea to wait for a letter coming back from the wts they decided to hold on taking such action.

What Freedoms Do You Enjoy Now That You're Not A Witness?

the watchtower scoffs at "apostates" because they want their "so-called freedom".

not practicing this religion does give you a lot of freedom and normalcy.

what freedoms do you cherish now?

If the Watchtower ceased to exist right now, what would this mean for you?
by JH in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
what would it change in your life right now if the watchtower fell apart and didn't exist anymore?.

maybe some would want to join another realigion right away, because they still believed a bit of what they preached and didn't want to join a false religion, just as the jw's brand all other religions..... .
