So, personal study and Bible reading fall way behind the Watchtower Study on the spiritual charging meter...interesting.

45 years in
18 years out
Life has been happy
Old friends still in, a miserable lot
Don't really look back
Just wish the wasted time I had not

Understand: Our salvation is not Jesus' primary concern
by pixel in...at least that's what the sunday study said:.
"at the same time, we need to understand that our salvation is not jesus' primary concern.
his main purpose from the beginning to the end of his earthly ministry was to work for the sanctification and glory of his father's name".

Interesting observation, but no real surprise...Jesus is always put in the backseat when it comes to purpose and position.

Saving Mr. Banks is not a typical Disney film. Seen it? Tell us what you think.!
by Wasanelder Once insaving mr. banks is not about mary poppins exactly, not the one we know.
in this movie we come to see who she was to the author through flashbacks that become so entwined with the adult author, a bitter and negative woman, that mary p.'s purpose becomes clear at last and not the disney factory model.
if you haven't seen it, a speech disney gives to her is phenominal in my opinion.

Violia...where was this John Denver concert?
These rumors have gone around among JW's for years...I would think that if these things really happened, there would be some video or third party (non JW) verification of the events. I can find none, so for now, I choose to view them as JW urban myths.

"We aren't infallible or inspired", but if you don't follow what we say, even if we are wrong, you will be disfellowshipped! Huh?!?

self righteous ones.

Just finished Terry's book, "I Wept by the Rivers of Babylon"...
by tenyearsafter incongratulations terry on a great read!.
if you have not read terry's book, i would definitely recommend you give it a look.
terry is a great writer, and he bravely explores a chapter of his life that many current and ex-jw's won't even relate to...facing the draft as a conscientious objector (co) jw.

Here is the Amazon link...I suspect it is available through other sites as well. I am sure Terry can fill in the details...
