you don't say why you are inactive.. if you can control your tongue and not blurt out anything you have learned about ttatt, then perhaps no harm in agreeing to a visit if you feel the need to be polite and cooperative.
no doubt, they will inquire as to why you are inactive.. don't you know it's the truth(tm)?.
don't you know the end(tm) is close?.
i can just agree with everything they say and just continue doing what im doing.. right..?
For a little while, sure. There's only so long you can simply just attend meetings quietly without them strongly "encouraging" you to do more. I know this from personal experience.
are all articles from jehovahs thoughts or do personal biased views poison the watchtower articles?
imagine a brother who hates chess observing in discust two bethelites playing chess...would it be right to use jehovahs "spiritual food" to push your own warped view....yes!!.
awake 1973 3/22 p.12 chess- "...the spirit of compitition between players can lead to unplesant circumstances...most families can keep comfrontations to the chess board...but for some the tension lingers long past checkmate...chess has been a game of war since its origin...a play substitute for the art of war...there is a danger of "stirring up compitition with one another" even developing hostility towards one another, something the bible warns christians to avoid..what effect does playing chess have apoun one?
I think it has to do with the Phallic imagery. Almost every piece is shaped like a penis.
i don't think i ever did but i would have been honored to do so..
Too much guilt is laid upon the R & F, making them easier to control, I guess.
That's exactly what's behind the whole idea of 'stumbling'; it's about control. It's how they get you to do something when they have no sciptural backing for it. They guilt you into doing, or not doing, what they want when they can't compel you with scripture. They accomplish this with words like 'stumbling'.
4 weeks of football and wimbledon tennis in between!?
life is beautiful.. aaahhhh!
i'm so excited!.
So wait, the US lost, and we're still advancing? Sweet. I'm starting to like this sport.
i don't think i ever did but i would have been honored to do so..
I sure hope so
i try ... i really try to watch football (soccer) ... it's world cup time ... i really do try.. i just don't get it ... i really don't.. yes, it's a world-wide sport.
in most countries it is the number 1 or number 2 sport ... no doubt about it.
it's maybe number 5 in the usa for professional sports.. from an american's perspective (i think i speak for many), we just wonder if these guys actually have testicles.
It appears too, that hockey players only do sprints, and are relieved every 5 minutes? whereas these Marathon athletes in soccer do half - marathons 10 miles
True. But then, soccer players don't wear pads, and aren't being constantly checked by other players.
i was recently at a baseball game with friends and family when i learned something new.
beer had been drunk and the men made their way to the men's room to relieve themselves.
when they got back i asked them what took them so long.
admit it, keyser...you liked it
As I said, there was a fair amount of alcohol involved. Let's just leave it at that.
"on october 2, 1914, charles taze russell, then president of the watch tower bible and tract society, boldly announced: the gentile times have ended; their kings have had their day.
how true his words proved to be!
-watchtower may 1, 1992 page 6.
I'm celebrating invisibly...
Me too, but my Bourbon is real.

If there are 3 urinals never use teh middle one first - that would force anybody arriving after you to stand beside you.
I went to a baseball game once with a guy who insisted on taking the urinal right next to mine when there was a line of about twenty empty urinals to choose from. Granted, we were both fairly intoxicated, but somehow that made it worse.
starts today!
now that england have slightly spoiled my world cup with their early failure, i am focusing a little more on the tennis.
i happen to live 15 minute walk from the wimbledon tennis courts so am completely caught up in the atmosphere, i will be joining the queue with a friend thursday night, camping out for the ticket queue early friday morning.
Being that American tennis is pretty much dead, I'll probably be rooting for Andy Murray to defend his title.
Seriously, where is the next great American men's player? No one picked up the mantle after Sampras and Agassi retired.
