Yes, I feel a strong pain in my right calf muscle, maybe god is punishing me for not attending ?
No, wait a second that might be from my little nephew kicking me there a couple of days ago......never mind
for active jws, what would happen if they missed the memorial?
guilt-trip from the elders?
why isn't it a disfellowshipping offense since it is stressed to be of vital importance to attend?.

The BB storm is pretty cool it can be purchased with a desktop charger, ( a must for me )
if your really into doing a lot texting , I would consider the BB Bold.
BB seem to be a little more suitable for business users.
For myself I'm waiting for the Palm Pre which should be coming out next month

The only bit of truth about the JWS is they manipulated and exploited bible scripture to help
propagate their literature, since they were a publishing house is this really all too surprising ?
They self created an image for themselves to set them apart from all the other religions to gain support.
Bullshit for a purpose, since they already knew how many people already believed in the bible as
a trusted source of informantion, they just exploited it . Many of men have exploited the bible and its belief
in it to make cash since the WTS beginnings , the JWS just did it in literature sales.
Thats absolutely correct Snowbird, the JWS have purposely and deceivingly step themselves a side of this scrutiny
You will know these false prophets/profits by their works and proclamations.
God never intended the gospel to be commercialized, not in biblical times either $$$
Defining The False Prophet And Their Fate:
Deu 18:20 But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die.
Deu 18:21 And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken?
Deu 18:22 When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.Jer 23:14 I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that none doth return from his wickedness: they are all of them unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah.
The Motivation of the False Prophet Is Money:
Micah 3:9 [NIV] Hear this, you leaders of the house of Jacob, you rulers of the house of Israel, who despise justice and distort all that is right;
Micah 3:10 [NIV] who build Zion with bloodshed, and Jerusalem with wickedness.
Micah 3:11 [NIV] Her leaders judge for a bribe, her priests teach for a price, and her prophets tell fortunes for money. Yet they lean upon the LORD and say, "Is not the LORD among us? No disaster will come upon us."
Micah 3:12 [NIV] Therefore because of you, Zion will be plowed like a field, Jerusalem will become a heap of rubble, the temple hill a mound overgrown with thickets.Jer 6:13 For from the least of them even unto the greatest of them every one is given to covetousness; and from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely.
Jer 6:14 They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.
Jer 6:15 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore they shall fall among them that fall: at the time that I visit them they shall be cast down, saith the LORD.Ezek 22:25 There is a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst thereof, like a roaring lion ravening the prey; they have devoured souls; they have taken the treasure and precious things; they have made her many widows in the midst thereof.
Ezek 22:26 Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they showed difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.
Ezek 22:27 Her princes in the midst thereof are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, to get dishonest gain.
Ezek 22:28 And her prophets have daubed them with untempered mortar, seeing vanity, and divining lies unto them, saying, Thus saith the Lord GOD, when the LORD hath not spoken.

just heard a very surprising and unbelievable news which i want to share with you and ask whoever has the right connections higher up in the borg, if this kind of news can be double checked for reliability.. .
the source of the information is believed to be reliable as it seems to be intimately related to some officials of the branch.
The WTS has always been a scandalous scam from day one, a commercial venture that was fronted by religious faith.
Even in Europe they are getting wise to this dishonest endevour.
my texting prowess during the meeting continue to improve...mostly during wt study which i can totally tune out....the talk was actually good....but the best part.....i got to go out to lunch with wife and 8 old friends and knock back a few brews!....ones who have never shunned me anyway so the true friends...true, i can go out with them at other times, but it was nice being with my wife and hangin out after da meetin.
i also brought some other reading material in the back of my bible....hey, i might be able to do this a couiple of times a month, and my wife knows 100% now i do not believe the bible is inspired, i do not believe in an active spirit world, and that we do not have the truth, and that the fds may be sincere, but do not have a clue what the bible means and are not led by holy spit!.....................oompa.
Oompa don't you feel that attending those meeting is tarnishing you own personal integrity,
particularly now what you know about this organization ?
i came on jwd a year ago tomorrow, having realized that jws were not the truth, quite painfully, on march 29, 2008. i was here within a week, and within 2 months i was officially dad by my congregation.. ever since joining, i have never actually wrote down a comprehensive look at why i left the organization.
what doubts caused me to leave?
why did a gilead grad leave what i once considered so precious?.
Jehovah's voice on earth is a contrived fraud, that unfortunately sells
There numerous amounts of these established frauds, different people, different tittles, different words to be spoken
there's even one guy calling himself Homerovah , like anyone is going to believe in that
the signs are becoming more and more clear.
violent crimes are increasing and lawlessness is the thing of the day.
people are starting to lose their minds due to the increasing job loss and economic hardship.
It's a JWS troll , don't waste your time with this thread
JWS are mentally unbalanced psychotics, remember
the signs are becoming more and more clear.
violent crimes are increasing and lawlessness is the thing of the day.
people are starting to lose their minds due to the increasing job loss and economic hardship.
