i hope this is where you introduce yourself hmm.... my name is josefine.
im 22 years old and i live in the us.
and i am totally into jehovah's witness.
The 64 thousand dollar question is- - -will she stick around. I would hope so, because there is excellent and accurate fellowship here.
I for one would like to know about yourself. As for myself, I as many here prefer to believe in Jesus rather than the society. Some have given up altogether and that's fine too. So tell us about yourself, please.
i was just watching this video after reading another thread.
http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=n9xjw_sk7ta .
the i saw the this verse plastered over the wall in the kingdom hall.
I had a discussion with some friends about the bible and how the Witnesses bible has been altered to support the society and not the Son.
I had earlier mentioned this to my witness assocate and he asked me which bible was the most acurate. I suggested the oldest is probably the more accurate. A bible that is only 150 or less years old would likely be the least accurate.
I suggested as it says in Revelation about altering the bible scripture that it was useless for me to study something altered, like an owners manual for a sophisticated device. It won't work!
Their book is all about the Jehovah real estate corp, not about salvation from Jesus.
No wonder most of my friends have zero interest in the book.
i must say the more and more i learn and find my way around my spirituallity the less i use the name jehovah.
it just reminds me of everything i went through, reminds me of the ""bad"" and not the good of god.
it reminds me of hypocracy and mind control.
Since no one has seen or spoken to God, then the name has to be made up by an earthling. How else would you know the name of someone other than by the name as told by the person?
Therefore the name is (dare I say it on JWD) "Worldly". If I did not tell you here my first name how else would you know it?
Does that make sense?
Jehovah is a name that applies to the Real Estate Corp., and not the creator anyway.
this nation will rise up.
we can only hope someday.
monday is mlk day.
Sorry I missed that, and hey why not . I like Skunk. Much more spiritual than Dion for sure!!!
this nation will rise up.
we can only hope someday.
monday is mlk day.
this nation will rise up. We can only hope someday. Monday is MLK day. Take a moment out of your day - and hope.

tomorrow is my first day at my new job.
i'm looking forward to it but i'm a little nervous as well.
other than my own computers and a couple of friend's computers, i haven't done a whole lot of this kind of work since 2004. of course before that, i did it exclusively for eleven years.
remember F5 on reboot to get into system recovery on an HP pavillion. Then start basic recovery to save files and kill viruses.
Other than that I wish you well on your new job.!! Bill.
ok, so all of you know about my letter writing campaign; i've had several break throughs and just as many disappointments... about what i expected.
i'd say the response to my letters has been 50/50.. so, the last few weeks, i've been recieveing e-mail replies from one of my cousins.
he conseedes the fact that it isn't "apostacy" to question the fads.... this after much coaching on my part.. but i gave him three things to look into, one was why it is apostacy in this dumb assesd religion to question the men in the gb.
If you take the number literally, then there should be no more worries in that the quota would have been spoken for thousands of years ago.
That being said and that the Jehovah corp. is only 135 years old, then I would say that the Witnesses have been wasting a lot of time on an issue closed centuries ago.
Think about it. Some feel they are the anionted and partake in the ritual. Others, not so sure. Realistically though, just where is this magical scoreboard? Does anyone have a clue if it's full in the "stadium above" ? If you take the bible literally then you should understand that ALL get there if you believe what Jesus says. Otherwise it becomes just a silly game.
No wonder Christianity is waning and the Nation of Islam is spreading. (God help us).
or are they not in the 144000, and do you think the members of gb really think that they are directed by god , or dont want to rock the boat ,and enjoy power , how do they get promoted to gb and do they havet o wait till one snuffs it before getting in the gang just curious
If you believe the whole bs pile from Jehovah corp, they are included, but the rest are stuck here with all our problems.
If you believe the message from Jesus, then we are ALL headed for the same thing. Who's right?
i have always been a very social person with many friends....a bit of a partier my whole life.
my wife of 11 years is not like that, and not like me in so many other ways....but hey, we had the third cord in our marriage (not god...wt).
now since i am leper now, i have virtually no social life.
Oompa, at this point, you seem to be able to hold it together better than I would.
Anyone who says that word might as well refer to my personal friends as losers or pond scum because that's what I think people really mean when they say that, so if you remained calm after hearing that, you are doing better than me!
I go for long walks at least 3 times a week . Many times with a long term friend. It's a healthy escape. I treat my body as best as I can. Booze is seldom on my mind unless offered by someone. You need to walk away from that and maybe get a membership at a gym?
Maybe you should have a heart to heart with your spouse. Find out if there is any love left for you. I personally wouldn't waste any more time with someone who pays way more attention to the Jehovah corporation than me. If she is truly lost in it, then you should find friendship elsewhere.
Do you have kids? That brings a whole different perspective to this. Most here probably would suggest staying for the kids. I would agree. But if there's nothing left and splitting assets are no problem, then the inevitable might be the solution.
I am not sure if I could live in such misery for the rest of my life. It also depends on your age. 30 and under, pack your bags. Over 30, find some common ground.
Good luck. Bill.
