i sent a link to my new video and told them that they were featured in it.
i hope this induces mass hysteria at the tower office.. i guessed the addresses, and i haven't gotten any error messages.
so if you want to send a message to the gb or anyone else, the address should be:.
I find this tour of the UN incredible! I know JWs who would die before stepping foot in a church because it is the "harlot" and from Satan. I can't believe they would feel comfortable touring the "wild beast" either.
I think if the average JW heard this, they would be shocked! I am.
What would they do if Armageddon started in the middle of their tour?
What is this obsession the WTS has with the UN?
would the average jw think that the number of 144,00 was a literal number, even if the partakers were over 144,000?
or would they just go with what the gb says?.
i think that they would say that it is figurative literal number.
The average JW will accept whatever explanation the WT gives and go along with any changes, supressing any doubts they may have with thoughts like, "wait on Jehovah" or "where else would we go?" and so forth.
If they have become disillusioned somehow, they will notice whatever contradiction is most immediately in front of them and use it to find their way out. That's the nature of cults IMO.
i know, sorry...this must be tiring for you to hear but i feel glad.
i need it and it gives me hope that there may be a good guy out there for me.
snowbird...any comments?
Newborn,
I don't know your background, but if you're like me and raised in the WT, you've had it drilled into you that dating is only for marriage and you'd better figure out if you could marry him before agreeing to go out on that first date (fully chaperoned, of course). It's really too bad we were taught to think that way.
Once I left the WT, I still found myself only dating men that I felt I could be seriously interested in. This can be a real handicap since you often don't know if you could be seriously interested in someone until you've gone out with him and gotten to know him a little bit.
Despite it all, Mr. Fiorini and I were somehow able to get together. So don't give up hope.
It's not easy having WT baggage to carry around is it?
Because it has worked that way for them. The problem with that idea, though, is that everyone is different. I do not believe there is a one-size-fits-all spirituality.
this is for the lurker or the newbie who might be overwhelmed by information he/she will find on this site for the first time.
how do you know that this information is true and correct?
the organization will label these sites as apostates or liars in what they say , how do you distinguish the truth ?
Farkel, you criticize JWs for not researching their religion and you are absolutely right. I wish they would realize how ridiculous and hypocritical it is to knock on other people's doors telling them to do that, when they are terrified, and even forbidden, to do the same.
put a frog in boiling water and he jumps out....but turn the heat up slow and he will boil alive.
{i hate brothers using this in talks} imagine if the witnesses told you up front what life as a witness will be like.. 1. you can never leave us when your baptized...ever, for any reason, your a witness for the rest of your life.
we will disfellowship you for leaving.. 2. you and your family members must be trained to be willing to die rather then accept blood transfusions, even escaping from the hospital and or pulling out the drip.
Yes, this is so true. If they were a decent religion with a legitimate theology, they would never have to resort to these manipulations and deceptions. The fact that they do should be a major red flag for anyone evaluating them.
asking because this is the time i'm looking at travelling to the states - but only in 2010. reason i'm leaving it till then is because i have a wedding in the united kingdom in august of that year, so it will be easier for me to pop over from there ... and cheaper.. so it's a definate that i'll be hooking up with some of you britons and followed by the americans.
.
time to start saving every little penny, get the passport sorted, the visa for the us of a (they interogate you), start plotting the journey.. .
Wow, LouBelle, that's a BIG trip! I've only been to half of those states and I've lived in the US my entire life. That's going to take you awhile. How long are you planning on being here?

Of course it depends on where you go, but that is our summer so for most places the weather will be pleasant. Do you know what areas you will be going to?
just got back from seeing this movie and it is probably the best i've seen in ages.
profound in examination of the complexities of humans..sammieswife..
Mr. Fiorini and I saw this film a few days ago and totally agree.
my girlfriend was having a rough time.
she's been vomitting every morning.
her tummy has been aching and she's been feeling off.
I'm sorry for the difficult situation. I'm glad you have each other.
