hello friends.. i notice alot of talk about the future and what it would take to bring the whole thing down and no one seems to think it can or will happen any time soon.

just seeing people here talk about what will happen once 2034 comes and goes is very discouraging.. i'm amazed this religion continues to move along as it does.

building, growing etc.

I don't think them being challenged at the door is really an issue, because A- it so rarely happens; most householders are too indifferent to bother, and B- those aren't the people they are looking to indoctrinate anyway. They go after those who are more ignorant of scripture than they are.

The real issue is that JWs are getting less and less skilled at converting even those people, because so many of them can't explain even the simplest of doctrines that are supposed to be universally held by JWs.

A question for my friends in the USA about cowboys.

by punkofnice in

as a kid growing up in the uk we used to play 'cowboys and indians' and watch high chaparal and bonanza along with other cowboy films.

later, in the 70's kung fu would be shown with caine going through the 'old west'.

we even had a chocolate bar that was marketed with a 'cowboy' theme...milky bar.. as far as i know the 'wild west' as shown on tvdidn't actually exist.. are there people that believe it did?.

For a more accurate depiction of what the West was like post Civil war, I recommend shows like Deadwood, or Hell on Wheels, as opposed to John Wayne movies.

my girlfriend's dad who is 82 lost his second wife to cancer last october.

while she was dying, he secretly was seeing another woman, in her 60s.

long story short, a month after the wife's death, they both moved in together and in early june , they secretly got married.

I once saw an elderly person driving a small car and using their turn signal. I thought that was kind of unusual.

The movie Outbreak starring Dustin Hoffman was very good IMO.

I highly recommend Contagion if you haven't watched it. It's not quite as entertaining as Outbreak, but more cerebral and realistic.

Female presenter on JW Video

by Listener in

there is a video on jw org titled "what happens at a kingdom hall?

" i wouldn't suggest that you watch it as it's pretty sickly, as usual they are praying on emotions in order to encourage people to attend their halls.. the video is presented by a female but does show her face.

it just seems weird that they have allowed a woman to star in this very prominant role.

What they're telling the public and what's really happening is two different things..

You mean, as with everything else they do?

I really don't understand this

why, if you're a health care worker who's been exposed to the ebola virus, would you get on an airplane and travel right after?.

Perhaps I missed it in the article since I read it quickly but it seems as though she traveled before it was known she was exposed.

She travelled before she started showing symptoms. But she had already come into contact with the virus.

Sleep Paralysis - YOUR EXPERIENCES

by Black Man in

jw
friends

so what have been your experiences with sleep paralysis?

any connection to astral projection?

this has interested me recently as i used to have sleep paralysis quite often years ago.

keyser soze

I'd wake up from a bad dream, and couldn't move. I wasn't completely awake, but aware of my surroundings and realize I couldn't move. It was like something was sitting on my chest

I've had that almost identical experience on a couple of occasions. Half-asleep, but aware of my surroundings, feeling like something was on top of me. I even thought I heard whispers, and could see shadows in the room. Like you, I just chalked it up to the fear of demons instilled in me by the JW religion.
