this brother just won't take the hint....he leaves me his phone number and i don't call...he "encourages" me to the meeting and i never go...he tells my wife i "look depressed".....he won't give up?
so he calls on me saturday and says: "so your not interested in coming to meetings at the moment?
" i say {suprisingly} "no not really....there are some doctrinal matters i don't agree with...i don't want to really discuss it...it's just blood and 607 b.c.e".
I asked the whole body of elders at a meeting, (it was a meeting to decide whether or not to remove me) where do you you think all these blood fractions come from. One elder finally answered me aftear a long pause.
Later one elder admitted to me that he didn't answer because he didn't know where they came from. So even the elders have been dumbed down.

q&a article explaining how to prepare for the ministry and why it's important to do so.
par 2 - how to prepare good preparation starts with becoming acquainted with the literature we plan to offer.
at no point in the article does it mention the bible.
This sound like a part on the KM we had in 1978, 1979, 1980, etc. etc. etc These people must be stupid, stupid, stupid, to still not get this. The Borg can brag that they were the first ones to start recycling trash. Now this would be somthing they could really brag about!

that one of your coworkers was cheating on his spouse with another coworker?
i know the wife.
she works at the school my daughter attends.
Tell him that he needs to talk to his wife. There are usually reasons one has an affair with someone else and the two of them need to start comunicating about what's going on in their marriage.

this is what exactly what my mom said to me yesterday.
loving, isn't it?
funny thing is, before we got into our spat about the wtbs, i asked a simply question.
It does absolutley no good to argue with a Jdubbb. I was one, I know so the best thing to do in my opinion is be kind loving and stay away from their doctrines and teachings it only makes you look to her to be unkind and unloving when you do argue she will have to see these things for herself.

as a jw we were always told worldly people were bad always out for what they could get out of you.
as for me iv'e made some good friends not anything as bad as the jw's said they woul'd be.
what about you ?????????
The dubs are just as worldly as everyone else because everyone lives in the world duh.
iam ticked off.
during the watchtower lesson about the genration change i feel that it should have been given at least an entire watchtower lesson to cover and not just 1 or 2 paragraphs.
we have been taught one way for so long and then all of a sudden its changed but not thoroughly covered.
You'll find as you look deeper into the watchtower organization that they want to be very controlling they don't trust their members to make what they think are right decisions so they make them for you. Then they tell you not to look anywhere else for answers because they have all the answers and anywhere else you look is really satan's way of turning you away from the WT. In fact if the GB had their way they would probably want all women to dress like the FLDS women.
So dress the way you want to and don't let a bunch of modern day pharasise tell you what to do. Trust your own concience.

had a long conversation with my mom tonight and we went back and forth for over an hour regarding the wt.
she said something tonight that kind of left me speechless as i've never heard anything like this one before.
the wt is right because... .
The watchtower is right because there have been over 50 billion sold. Oh wait that's McDonalds.
wt: "now the time to obey".
excerpts from watchtower 8/15/53 .
"the following was delivered by the president of the watch tower bible and tract society before the new world society assembly of jehovahs witnesses at yankee stadium, new york city, n.y., monday afternoon, july 20, 1953.
I guess that means I'm dead. O well at least all the people I like will be dead with me besides who wants to live in a world where there are only Jdubs? That would be boring.
So let's ask our Jdub friends again in light of the watchtower of new:
So are all people who don't gather at the meetings going to get destroyed at geddon?

okay, so this weekends weather has been a bit crazy, especially in california; twisters geez.
anyway, i heard some people talking how this weekends weather rain, no rain , back to rain and no rain again is a sure sign of the end being nearer.
so if it would be hot as it was last week, would it have been a sure sign too?
The weather's nice here today it was supposed to rain. Weatherman was wrong. Must be living in the end times
the reason why i ask is because whenever u are df and u are trying to get reinstated they are always tellling u that u have to produce fruits befitting repentenace like attending the meetings,etc.
they always make it seem that since they are gods spirit-directed org.
that he will know whether or not if a person is repentent.
it's all in the show. If you put on the show you can make them think your repentent the show is:
1). Go to all the meetings
2). Highlight the watchtower mag for the study
3) tell them why you aren't at a meeting. Uf you don't your s**t
That's about all you can do but if you do that and keep giving them letters that say you want to be reinstated it will happen
