So true Scully!
Journey-on....let me get him out of HS and I'll be happy. A college is in walking distance from my home, so he has no excuses.

Last night I was talking to my 17yr. old son who hasn't been among the Borg since ca. 2002, and asked him why he hates religions. His response: "Because, they are the ones that start all wars and I think the Governments ought to eliminate them all". I then told him, "Well, what about the JW's, they never started any wars?" His reponse to that: No, that's the cool thing about them, but I don't like all the other garbage they teach."
Just thought I'd share with you some truths.

well, it's that time of the year again!!!.
the november the 1st watchtower is demanding money from the r and f and in no uncertain terms makes it clear that no matter how poor they are they should be giving their money to one of the richest companys in brooklyn, the watchtower bible and tract society!!.
the 'inspiring' article on page 17 is entitled:.
I think it's good that these young ones are learning how to give, but hopefully they will learn in time, (sooner than later) who to give to.

my parents just came back from the annual bethel meeting in brooklyn.
they said only 3 of the gb were there.
they felt the need to inform me of everything even though i was in a blur watching tv.
Quote: "....they are Jehovah's chosen ones." ?????????????
According to the Bible, only the Jew's are His chosen ones. Sorry, but I don't think any JW is a chosen one. Those who think they are of the anointed, apparently think they are in heaven already, actually more like, lost in space.

i was thinking the other day while i was listening to a finance guy on the radio what would happen if he got a call from an exjw?
the caller could explain that they themself or a family member belonged to a relgious group that believes the end is always near and therefore never saved for retirement.
how can they play catch up now?
Get in touch with Susi Orman. I'm sure she'll have good advice and would be eager to meet the challenge of trying to solve Ex-JW issues.

i cannot provide any background info on my dad except to say that he is not an attender anymore, but is not apostate.. years ago, my dad showed me why he thought 1975 was wrong, and he gave me a date like 2011, 2012...back in 2004.. it actually made sense to me back then, and obve's posts reminded me of my dad's calculations..... only my dad's calculations were not based on addition or multiplying of random crazy numbers, .
but actually were logical assumptions based on the scriptures as he understood them.. here is his email to me...it might be lengthy, but it is easy to follow and understand.
(sorry for the large font, it was the font he used in the email.
I love your dad's open mind. It takes critical thinking to beable to do such calculations and unlike the WTS, he doesn't claim it to be factual. God's time isn't our time anyway. His calculations are totally different than those of us humans. to your dad, he gives us something to ponder over. Way to go dad!

have you ever heard of anyone running into the gb on an airliner?
i have not and so that only leads me to believe that they charter jets to move them around the world.
how do they travel?.
We probably never identify them on commercial airlines because they had to remove their halo's at the airport security. They don't allow halo's made of barbed wire.

hello folks .
as other posters have mentioned , i feel , too , that this is something that needs to be kept in the forefront of practicing jehovah's witnesses minds , as they will never hear about these settlements from their elders or governing body.
so , you folks know me well enough that i don't have a shy bone in my body , and if i see an opportunity i will take it.
I wish I had your ability. What you did was incredible. It's about time people approach THEM rather than allowing them to approach us. They call their Bible a sword? I like your weapon a whole lot more. It really penetrates a person. I wonder what he had to think about when he laid in bed that night. It takes humility to admit a wrong. How haughty the JW's are. They will never admit they are wrong. How can they when they are totally brainwashed to think that ONLY their religion is the right one. Perfect in every way. Sadly, so many think it is because of all the deception and coverups that go on.
I think I will get my armour all collected and be prepared the next time they want to attempt an attack on me.
Thanks for sharing with us your courage and real love for your fellow human beings.

anyone allergic to them (if you're allergic to eggs, avoid them please).. i'm getting mine for the 15th year in a row come saturday.
haven't had a flu during the past 15 years.
linda.
??????????? are you saying mercury is in the flu shots? If so, well, hmm, maybe I should reevaluate my yearly routine.
The flu shot is usually only protection against 1 particular strain of the flu. A person can still get another strain. Also the immunities need to build up, up to 6 weeks time, so the flu is still possible to get during the first 6 wks after the fact.
Thanks for your tips and experiences.
