convention this weekend and my wife (in) has been morose and down for the past days sadly standardized pre conv mind set and will be after.
anyone else have this situation.. you have my sympathy.. yes the jw are happy people.
.
My parents seem to forget about everything preached at assemblies and conventions in the time it takes to drive to the restaurant afterward. They're much more concerned about who was there and how their [insert medical condition here] is.
It was always depressing for me. Expectation before the program of something new and exciting. Disappointment afterward that it was just more of the same old recycled crap.
this is news to me, despite somewhat following the steelers.. http://www.post-gazette.com/sports/steelers/2015/03/11/steelers-free-agent-jason-worilds-announces-his-departure-from-football/stories/201503110155.
with all the surprises that were delivered around the nfl tuesday, jason worilds has pulled another.
the steelers free agent linebacker announced early this morning that he was leaving football.. and the steelers believe he means it.. steelers sources told the post-gazette today that they believe worilds, who became an unrestricted free agent on tuesday, is serious about walking away from football at the age of 27 to work for his religion, jehovahs witnesses, and that there is no hidden agenda involved in his decision.. i appreciate all of the interest from the organizations that have reached out to us the past few days, worilds wrote on twitter.
this is the latest offering from the caleb/sophia duo - lesson 16, preach in a foreign language.

hard to pin down caleb and sophia's race.
Their dad seems to be part Latino and part Count Chocula. Mom seems to be stereotypical American.
so the wts just bought yet another corporate building in upstate ny.
this time it's a building to house a/v production a few minutes from patterson.
why they just don't build what they need on property they already own, i don't know.. http://www.loopnet.com/listing/17829130/39-mt-ebo-road-south-brewster-ny/.
That's $6.1 million of money that would have built a lot of kingdumb hauls!
But as long as the end isn't coming anytime soon, they may as well start wasting a bunch of money to try to catch up with the TV evangelists, eh?
If WT Corp. can spend millions of dollars to buy buildings to renovate into studios to play "let's pretend", why are they opposed to dubs spending a few thousand dollars to get their kids educated so they don't have to play "let's pretend we're not broke, uneducated, and unfulfilled"?
it could have come straight from brooklyn!.

the actor/rapper/writer multi-hyphenate, who stars in the lazarus effect, opens up about his journey from being a jehovahs witness to achieving film, tv, and music stardom.. .
donald glover has, in his mere 31 years on this sorta-green earth, released five rap albums and two mixtapes under the stage name childish gambino, served as a writer on the award-winning 30 rock, and featured in 89 episodes as normcore nerd troy barnes on the cherished sitcom community.
i've been actively pursuing a career change for quite a few years.
i've applied for nursing programs at several local public colleges.
the competition is high for this limited access program.
an update on my life post education..... as the governing body continue to denounce higher education, reality continues to prove their words ignorant, ill informed and blatant lies.
i am proud and astonished to say i have just been accepted for a university teaching hospital post.
i have a seriously sought after, senior house officer job in intensive care, endocrinology and clinical pharmacology.
As the Governing Body continue to denounce higher education, reality continues to prove their words ignorant, ill informed and blatant lies.
It just makes me want to scream that this collection of dim-witted GB (and I got to know many of them personally) would discourage students from pursuing education and meaningful careers. I should have gotten my degree decades ago and my life would be so much better. At least I'm glad that I finally did wake up and get my life moving away from WT idiocy.
Snare, your experience should be featured on the next JW TV. It should be, but sadly, it won't be. Because the GB wants all the sheeple to be stupid and unquestioningly obedient.
saomebody mentioned in a recent thread here i think that the more they read here the more they feel angry at the wt.
personally, as an ex-elder (only resigned a few months ago) i feel that it is more like suddenly being on the outside looking in at a whole group of people playing parts.
the zealous pioneers answering all the time.
I would be interested to know if others feel that we assume roles as we enter the KH.
Indeed. The very top of this organization is men who have assumed their roles by nothing more than nibbling crackers and sipping wine once a year... and then kissing the right as$es.
ok so maybe i am a bit old school, late to the party, or whatever but i just discovered some subreddits (other than ex-jw) that have me completely addicted to the site.
for the whole afternoon, i have been going through the tifu section (pm me if you can't find the meaning of the acronym but just google it and the meaning should come up).
anyways, i thought i would share some funny ones here because, hey, we all need a good laugh and there's plenty of laugh provoking material on the net.
