just called into the kingdom hall, speaker said he couldn't tell if anyone was listening to his talk now that everyone uses electronic devices and nobody laughed... well i did!.
he also mentioned when everyone used the bible he could hear the pages flipping and he knew they were following along.
this was really funny to me.
Then he went off on Apostates, same old put downs, "they have nothing of value, all they have to offer us is distractions" he said.
Nonsense, apostates have higher education and birthday cake, among other things. I guess they think that things like medical care and happy children are just "distractions".

"Hail the Theocracy and All Its Assets,
Wondrous Liquidation is Now Taking Place!"
hello all, things for the most part have been somewhat better for me because my parents haven't talked about baptism or anything recently.
i got a scholarship to go to art camp for a few weeks which has been fun (since its free, my parents didn't refuse) but it has also been very nervewracking for me.
i haven't been around any non jws for more than a year and its like being in a different world, a world where people are actually real and genuine and not mindless drones.
Remember that this situation is temporary. Your life will change with every passing year. So don't fret too much about your current situation. Use that energy to plan what you want for your future.
As far as having friends, don't spend too much time talking about JW stuff, as already mentioned by others. Enjoy what time you are able to spend with them. For many of us, after graduation we never saw most of those classmates again as we went our separate ways... until this Internet thingy came along. That gives you a big advantage. If you make friends now that you are only able to spend a little time with, you can keep in touch through the Internet and build a valuable network of friends.
unbelievable paragraph in yesterday's watchtower was "encouraging" the sheep to not have kids.
most of their growth comes from the born ins and they are still on about not having kids?.
then it went on to "encourage" those that do have kids or grandkids not to spend to much time with them and instead to spend their time serving kingdom interests!.
Thousands of young Christian men and women are willingly sacrificing marriage or are not having children—at least for now—in order to serve Jehovah to the full.
I was one of those thousands. What a terrible choice.
anyone else notice this on the last video of the regional convention 2016?.
frame stills:.
conclusion: it seems that the paradise will not be only the end of wickedness but also the end of the jws typical cheap polyester suits :-p.
Nothing says "Party at Paradise Beach" like having your entire body encased in burlap clothing while you sit around a table looking at fruit and talking to the same people that you were previously in a bunker with for days/weeks/years!
a little background- i faded in august 2015. ive got to small kids and one on the way.
i dont believe the jw cult nonsense anymore.. .
ok so last night i had the scariest dream.
Like Sparky, I've had a lot of bethel-based dreams/nightmares. For me, it was always such a relief to wake up to my "present truth".
After a long weekend working overtime, I'm due for such a dream that will make me happy to get up early for work tomorrow. Otherwise, I have to wait until payday on Thursday when money is magically deposited in my bank account. Money is more happifying that waking from a bad dream.
When I was still "in", I had some terrific armageddon and demon attack nightmares. Those have all gone away.
Perhaps my worst nightmare was when I was in university and dreamed that I'd done a whole bunch of homework... but then woke up to realize that all that work was just a dream.
There was also that time that I dreamed I was a car muffler... I woke up exhausted.
And there was the time that I dreamed I ate a giant marshmallow. I woke up and couldn't find my pillow anywhere.
sbf you annoyed me enough to deserve this.. gad saad's comments on the nonsensical gibberish of jacques derrida, michel foucault, and jacques lacan.
charlatanism of the highest order.
.... the first quote from derrida starts as 2:50.
That was 7:49 that I'll never get back. But it reminds me why my life is better as an engineer than as a French postmodern philosopher.
is something going on in jw land i don't know about.
she and her new husband and my two.
grand daughters, one i have never seen.
JM, I'm glad to hear that things went well.
One more thing, my daughter husband is not a elder or MS... Her last husband was a Beth elite
Your daughter has chosen more wisely the second time around. I wasn't too much of an a$*hole while I was bethelite/elder, but I'm much better with this ex-bethelite, ex-elder, ex-JW thing!
watching the world - awake june 22, 1977. during the first interhemispheric conference on adolescent fertility, held recently at arlington, virginia, the delegates representing thirty-nine nations concluded that childbearing among teen-agers has reached the proportions of a “worldwide epidemic.” as quoted in medical tribune, iranian journalist nalia kazemian said in the keynote speech: “[we must] face the fact that the world-wide trend towards pregnancy and childbearing [at an early age] is a physical, social, and demographic crisis.
damaging the whole fabric of society.”.
daily mail - june 2, 2016. us teen pregnancy rate falls to an historic low.
Come now, berrygerry, you know how this plays out in JWland:
