"Millions Will Attend WILL YOU?"
Thousands Will Partake (perhaps tens of thousands will partake) WILL YOU?
Billions Won't Attend... and we will find more interesting things to do on a Friday night.

Attending memorial tomorrow?
by Ghiagirl inthis is my first year i will not attend memorial.
to be honest if it wasn't for my husband i would probably be going still.
he says what's the point, don't be one of those people who doesn't give a sh** but just shows there face once a year.

I was thinking about going to the Memorial, but then I checked my "to do" list:
- I've got chips that need to be eaten.
- There's Netflix, so many shows that I need to watch.
- I've got beer in the fridge. They're not going to drink themselves.
I just have too much to do! I don't have the time and energy to go to the Deny Jesus Party this year... or any year in the future for that matter.

but after 15 years I think I need to put my family's future first and I doubt anyone else would ever pay what they were willing to for it.
Here's Br. Lett (you can recognize him by his eyebrows and pinky ring) making his final offer:

steve2: "And now its about...why Jesus came? "
Okay, that made me laugh! Am I that "dirty-minded"?
WT was very careful to word it "Why did Jesus come to Earth?" [italics mine]

"Moses, by far the meekest and most humble person" ??
by stuckinarut2 inseriously, how can it be ok for someone to say of themselves that they are "by far the meekest and most humble person" on the earth?.
numbers 12:3 'now the man moses was by far the meekest of all the men on the face of the earth'.
yes, moses was so humble that he told everyone about it!!?!.

He looks like he is fading, out of the picture
So I'm following Jesus by fading from the sight of the organization?
Is that what "invisibly present" is supposed to look like? Somewhere between ghostly semi-visibility and dipped in white chocolate? Or is this white chocolate dipped zombie Jesus?
And I think maybe he's carry a drum major's baton. Is he trying out for a university marching band? Maybe that's why he came to earth!?

They are Definitely Attacking "Higher Education"
by XBEHERE ina friend of mine recently had his co visit and in the elders meeting the co out-right asked the question: how are the friends doing in your cong.
as regards pursuing higher education?
the co continued...you know in view of all the counsel from the slave regarding the dangers.

the recent attacks via JW Broadcasting
I don't know how this is working out in my mom's head. She somehow must think that education was bad because I stopped attending meetings at the same time I moved away to university. Yet, after I moved away, I became much less depressed. When I last visited, mom ventured, "So, next week it's another $XXX."
With a rather surprised look, I replied, "Oh no, I get paid twice that much!"
Mom: "Oh, you get paid every other week."
Me: "No. I get paid weekly $X,XXX, and take home about $XXX after deductions. It was more this last week since I had overtime with traveling."
Mom: "And how much are your student loan payments?"
Me: "$XXX. So one weeks pay just about covers my rent and my student loan payments for the month."
Mom: "Looks like you'll be able to pay back a lot of that student loan debt this year."
Me: "And I've started saving for retirement, both 401k and Roth."
Of course, I said it all with a big cheesy grin. Why hide the fact that I'm now happier than I've ever been? ... And it's all thinks to "higher education".

Welcome Mr T!
I was an elder when I started posting here. And I was a miserably unhappy ex-bethelite that had been trying to stifle my doubts and hang on until armageddon. There were very few JWs that had ever expressed the slightest doubts to me. It wasn't until I came here and started reading that I discovered that I wasn't alone. The "apostates" that WT had been condemning and trying to keep the sheeple away from really had the truth about the truth.
Looking back, I'm sure there were lots of JWs that I knew that had doubts that they dare not speak. I'm glad I'm not one of them that is still going through the motions and doing all the JW stuff in order to have "friends" or as "insurance" in case WT is right about the "panda petting paradise." But the longer I was in bethel, the less appealing a "WT paradise" sounded.
