i have an idea.
who wants to roll play?
most of us here were witnesses at one point.
Do you feel that way. I do believe love covers a multitude of sins. Would be excellent if the GB would understand that instead of not allowing the b/s to have a different viewpoint to the WTS.
You say the Christ began to rule in 1914, I don't believe that.
As I said I wait.
Its not just the brothers, some sisters have problems with wine, one sister complained that she didn't have enough to get her wine, she had run out.
Sad isn't it, you would think that they would be in bliss being at Bethel, all the blessings from Jehovah's spirit, wonder if it is isolated, not normal life I'd hate it.

It is up to Jehovah to deal with what they have done, and I do believe that they treated the b/s very wrongly regargless if they b/s were over zealous, the WTS has never taken any responsibility for there past mistakes which have cost the many unnescessay hardship. I wait.
here's what will happen to jehovah's witnesses as they roll right past 2014: they will become increasingly like the religious group that influenced charles russell: the christadelphians who started around 1830-1840 and who have many basic doctrines in common with the witnesses.
the christadelphians were once an outspoken, vibrant, edgy "christian" group who spread their urgent end-times message far and wide.
they grew exponetially in the latter half of the nineteenth century, but their heyday is long past.
I guess the Watchtower organization is currently on the right track. Denying study article Watchtowers to non-members is a step in the right direction as to being a bona-fide cultic group.
They are trying to keep the b/s under their control, it is becoming very cultish, and their having this secret little wt studies makes the members even more special and they are intigued
way, way back in 1962, when i was four years old and my family relocated from harlem to queens, ny, our tuesday night book study, as it used to be called way back when almost universally in jw land, was conducted by a woman !!
please don't think i don't remember correctly because of my young age at the time, but the sis.
who conducted it is still alive, and i practically know her whole family.
Somebody PLEASE tell me what the head covering is supposed to do for God. Suppose to show respect for the headship arrangement, and the angles.
i told my wife i was going to sell everything: the houses, the investment properties, the cars, the boat, the business and give it all to the poor.
she accused me of being a hypocrite because jesus didn't have any of the things i do, including "a place to lay his head.
" so i lay down the challenge: i told her i would get rid of it all.... tomorrow.
Somehow, I bet the JW princess would miss all the stuff!
Yes no doubt. But she may tell you that you are unbalanced and not to take things so literal. She may even site the scripture that says you are not providing for her. Sounds like you cant' win.

How can the society wreck peoples hopes and lifes by their crazy prophecies of dates, then take no blame when they fail to come true and then treat the b/s like half wits and blame them.
i've been reading the thread about posters you miss hearing from.
some of you sound like you've invested a lot of "heart" in developing a raport with certain posters over a long period of time only to find suddenly they stop posting and your "friendship" has disappeared overnight.
you miss them and wonder what happened to them.. how is that any different from what we experienced when our "friends" at the kh stopped calling or coming by.
the loss of jws is a knife to the gut because they cut us out of their lives.. we are not welcome in their doors..
Don't have to be not associated any longer to be welcomed at their doors, many are like that even when we still in their so called good standing. The have cliques and the most vunerable the old, lonely, sick, depressed, weak and the poor are ignored, this is one thing that I can't give them an excuse for and when they say they are imperfect I could scream. So many so called wordly people or disfellowshiped inactive give a far better witness of love than many of these so called Christian friends.

Had an anointed sister conduct bible study in her lounge room because the brother never showed up at the hall, so seven sisters and a unbaptized young brother went to her place, she put a hate on and of we went.
i have to give a talk on "evidence that gods kingdom is a reality".
how the heck am i going to write and give this talk???
any suggestions????????????
I'd cancel it.
We have one sister that relishes canceled talkes, she volunteers for all of them but makes a point of asking why don't you vulunteer. Goes out witnessing and abuses you at the doors.
