Since the Big A didn't happen "in our 20th century" as expected, I guess the WTS figures that they might as well appear to join the 21st century's way of life—cell phones and all.

And the point of this video is??
by cedars inhere's a few guesses.... the brooklyn waterfront is a convenient place for the society to make their videosgrowing up as a jw when your friends have cellphones and you don't is "kind of rough" and a "kind of sad story"suddenly it's ok for jw youths to "go out" with worldly friends?
?you should listen to what your "peers" say, so long as they're jws on a society video.
anything else is peer pressure.playing by yourself with a frisbee is the preferred sport for young people (no teams or competition involved)young jws don't have a clue how to communicate with the opposite sex via text messages"it's really up to you how you choose to communicate with this wonderful tool that you have"... even though it clearly isn't.the society's video-making department are already running out of ideashttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=se_iuspg_14.

That sweet, tingling feeling...
by MsGrowingGirl20 inthat sweet, tingling feeling you get, no matter how hard life is at the time, when you remember that you're free.
that feeling reminds you that it's okay to not be sure about everything and it's okay to love persons even if they don't read the same literature or hold the same views as you.. it's okay to make mistakes because the people who love you will not pull back their love and association because of it.. the persons who are around you genuinely love you and are not just trying to portray 'love' because it looks good to 'potential' sheep.. it's even okay to try new things and it isn't a bad thing when you're actually enjoying life.. i don't have to try to be someone that i'm not and my worth is not, not.... my worth is not measured by a number on a piece of paper.. i can go through life at my own pace and i can be different.. that feeling reminds me that i can be myself!.
i know that you get that feeling also.

MsGrowingGirl20, I love what you wrote! Sometimes it's difficult to explain to non-JWs what it's like to finally escape; now I can show them your words because they reflect my feelings wonderfully

Questions by JWs in 1976
by Doug Mason inin 1976, my friend bruce price was in contact with jehovahs witnesses who had become disillusioned through the debacle with 1975. bruce was the leading voice among the sda ministry in working for jws.
at the time, i was a member of the sda church.
although i left them about 25 years ago, to this day bruce and i enjoy a strong and genuinely warm friendship.. so, in 1976 bruce invited me to a meeting with one of the jws who was leading the disquiet in his congregation in dandenong (victoria, australia).

Man I hope they get this guy, and I'm glad that it seems Costa Rica has a good relationship with the US.
The extradition situation between the US and Taiwan is seemingly nonexistant. A few years ago an American guy charged with several counts of molestation (he ran a daycare along with his wife, who was also charged) jumped bail and fled to Taiwan. Althought the Taiwanese authorities were made aware, their hands were tied because of no formal relations with the US.
Anyway, they were able to get the guy back to the US for a different reason: His visa expired. To locate the guy they had a female officer leave her contact information around the varous expat clubs, looking for a "language exchange." That flushed the guy out and he was sent back because of the expired visa, where authorities were waiting for him.
It took awhile but it finally worked out. You can run but you can't hide forever. -

You're sweet Joliette. I'm hitting the big 5-0 in March, and my body is definitely beginning to feel old, so definitely no offense taken here.
Hey, do any of you other old farts remember the movie Logan's Run? A life of Paradise (hmm, how appropriate for this forum)...but you only get to live to age 30.

Why did you pick the name you have now
by label licker injust wondering if your name describes what you saw, how you were treated when you were "in" or now "out", maybe your personality, ect.... i'm label licker and the why i picked this name was because of all the licking up one side of elders and down the other to either be an elder or ministerial servant.
one time i was standing right in front of this brother who wasn't made an ms yet and he totally ignored me and talked right over my head speaking really loud trying to catch the co's attention.. got sick of watching the poor elderly sitting all alone or standing against the wall like a wall flower with noone to talk to and yet all these label lickers would take turns picking up the elders elderly parents and take them shopping and do their groceries at least four times a week while out in service, yet, there was noone there to take a meal to a sister who just got out of the hospital with a heart attack.
when i had shown up at her apartment with a meal she asked if i could wash her private and change her bandages.
