Hey Gumby,
I was going to bring up that AWAKE! article but you beat me to it.Yes,I remember it was totally discouraging "christians" to own a pet.It said they take up too much valuable preaching time.Give me a break!
that's right folks!
someone at headquarters doesn't like them.
try finding them in the publications that show pictures of the new system.
.
i was standing at a pedestrian crossing when a mother with child said`wait for the green man to appear'.. as a green man is a pagan fertility symbol, should jws use pedestrian crossings.. this needs tob send to brooklyn as fast as possible as anyone weak jw might b stumbled seeing a brother using a pc.
They shouldn't use pedestrian crossings any more than they should eat hot-cross buns.
what's the most unbelievable thing you've ever heard while you were a witness?
one thing that stands out for me is being told that i would never go thru junior or high school because the end was right around the corner.....what about you??
?
That no one will have sex organs in the new system because God is going to stop human reproduction and there won't be any need for them.LOL.
i ran across this recently.
so, i guess its my new favorite quote.
"the difference between 'involvement' and 'commitment' is like an eggs-and-ham breakfast: the chicken was 'involved' - the pig was 'committed'.
Movie quote..."Love means never having to say you're sorry."
i just skimmmed over a lot of angry posts (see all the flames listed below) and i'm in the mood for a little fluff.. what did you have for dinner?
any good recipes to share?
anything nice to say at all?.
Chicken pot pie.
many of you already know my real name.i'm the one whose experience was published in the sep 8 1994 awake mag.
i would like to stress that although i have good reason to be angry and bitter, nothing i say here is said in anger but only in sadness.
i write this to say that if i could take back many of my words i said in that experience , i would.
Thanks for posting your story.I get embarrassed when I look back at some of the things I told people when I was in the bOrg.I now realize how silly I must have seemed to others.We were all only doing what we thought we should do and what they trained us to do.
hi guys!
i thought since all of you were so wonderful telling everyone hapy birthday, you might do me a huge favor.
today is my sons 11th birthday, first celebrated birthday since leaving the hall.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR JOSHUA
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!
my sister called this morning at the crack of dawn, to inform me of some info.. from the circuit assembly over this past weekend.i suppose this is new light.
although she did not put it in those words.seems there is a new do in our .
neck of the woods, he gave the public talk sunday and i quote".
If the governments are going to turn on religions at any minute,then Jehovah better hurry and shine some light on that scripture!
i wanted to hear the president's speech tonight, but can't stand listening to the man.
he has a prepared speech but he keeps saying nuc-you-lar instead of nuc-le-ar.
i can't stand it.. you would think his people would walk him through correct pronunciation.
I remember when Jimmy Carter pronounced it "nucular".It was so irritating to hear the President mis-pronounce such a simple word.Bush does this with a lot of words though.Someone should correct him.I know if he was in the TMS in my old hall,the overseer wouldn't hesitate to correct him in front of the whole congregation.
what the hell is wrong with you lot.....ok although i'm inactive, and many of you will tell me to get my ass back to the kh and stay off sites like these if i don't like it,........i have to say that reading some of your posts from the past couple of days has been a really a hard slog, some of you have spent time in previous posts deriding jws for claiming to be "the happiest people on earth"......but from someone who's inactive, and on this side of the fence, i don't smell no roses much from where you're coming from.
what is wrong with you happy apostates, i thought you said life outside the borg(tm) was just great.
happiest people on earth??
