  how do you handle them?

  i mean, sometimes they write things that are really hurtful!.

  do you just ignore them altogether?

  my 17 year old son told his dad that he didn't want to be a jw anymore about 8 months ago i think, and doesn't go to meetings or assemblies.

  he's been accepted to one of the best universities in the country and will start this fall, with his dad's blessing.

  their congregation had the summer convention this past weekend.

  You are one the right track with your blessing and suggestions to your son.
  I hope his dad makes the right choice when they pressure him.

  i was just thinking about this today.

  c of c opened my eyes on how the gb makes decisions.

  i used to think that they must have prayed a lot together and then had moments of enlightenment from god.

  us brothers would be having a conversation about sports and this brother "flanders" would always start a spiritual conversation: "on a sunny day like this i just want to thank jehovah for my blessings....i wish we had meetings everyday....i feel bad i didn't go witnessing this weekend.

  " .

  many times i wanted to strangle him!...his wife left him and the truth, since then he is worse..

  We had white ones (standard Flanders), black ones, and Hispanic ones.
  
  I hate self-righteous people, and apologize to all who were subjected to even the slightest bit perpetrated by myself.

  Did GOD become a Man?

  by UnDisfellowshipped in

  2. bible

  did god become a man?.

  some 2,013 years ago, a baby boy was born in a small town in the middle east, and he grew up and lived around 30 years before being put to death.

  today, two millenniums later, over 2 billion people claim to follow that man, and they claim that this man lives, even though he died!.

  Did you help clean the Kingdom Hall, yard work, maintenance?

  2. experiences

  at one hall i attended for serveral years had a lawn covering large man-made burms with trees and bushes.

  it was a difficult yard to mow and maintain.

  i have often wondered why we all pitched in and worked so hard for nothing.

  Beautifying your environment (bedroom, house, neighborhood, place of worship, etc.) is an expected thing.

  Classic answer -- It depends.
  
  The same effort you put into learning and thinking and acting the JW way should now be used to reprogram your mind.
