  so we already have this thread which has separate actions for next month: http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/179142/2/make-august-2009-the-dawn-of-the-mass-exodus-the-beginning-of-the-end-of-the-watchtower-org.

  i don't intend to discourage anyone from participating in that.

  those actions are meant to educate current jws (help people leave).

  I attended for 2 days. Brought all kinds of material with me - web sites, blood info, etc. Put stuff in Bathrooms, kingdom melody books, bibles, cars, etc!! There were NO attendants in the bathrooms until the end of Saturday. By then, they had 2 in each one, and they were periodically combing every inch of the stalls, etc. I guess they realized they should be "keeping on the watch" in there.

  Thank the JW woman who came to my house, who smilingly and unhesitatingly told me she would let her sons die if they needed blood. (i knew her sons well, which she did not know) She REALLY got me riled up!

  Healthy Boundaries

  by rebel8 in

  2. friends

  healthy boundaries.

  you can say no or yes, and you are ok when others say no to you.. you have a strong sense of identity.

  you respect yourself.. you expect reciprocity in a relationshipyou share responsibility and power.. you know when the problem is yours and when it belongs to someone else.. you share personal information gradually in a mutually sharing/trusting relationship.. you dont tolerate abuse or disrespect.. you know your own wants, needs and feelings.

  Hi rebel8 -- WOW, thanks! That is an awesome compilation of the "boundaries" concept! I"ve got teenage and grown daughters I will pass this on to, and some friends. I know there are a few good books on the topic, but this list is VERY useful. Great stuff for anyone, exJW or not. thanks.

  Total Strangers...would you believe and do whatever they tell you?

  by oompa in

  2. bible

  that is what i did the first 45 years of my life.

  because i was born in...fourth generation...i really did not have much of a choice since i tried to be a good son....my doubts started at 19, but i had been bad enough in high school that i became a pioneer for a year and a half as a form of penance to my parents....soon thereafter, wife and kids and job became a big distraction....and life just happened as it does to must born in dubs........ now that i am out i realize that all of what i was and did and spewed at doors....was actually accepted by me from total strangers!!

  !.......that i had never even met!!!

  It was mentioned in the talk 'Sing to Jehovah" , referring to changes in some of the terminology for new melodies.

  " 25 years have passed since we received our current songbook. During that time, the light has become brighter on a number of topics. As a result, some of the expressions used in our songs are new …… For example, we no longer speak of the new order, but of the new world. Love, joy and peace are not fruits of the Spirit; they are aspects of the fruitage of the Spirit. And Jehovahs name will be sanctified, not vindicated"

  What's with that whole "fruitage" of the Spirit thing, instead of fruit? Is that a real word? Who talks like that, and why is it an important difference?

  I love the title of new melody , "The Beauty of Gray-Headedness" Perhaps i should have my family and friends memorize the lyrics, as i am 49, and don't plan to dye! LOL.

  Should Martin Luther have refrained from posting his 95 theses and "waited on Jehovah?"

  by gubberningbody in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  where would any "reformation" come from or any "great awakening" without dissent?.

  was he wrong to act in harmony with his conscience?.

  do we view him and every reformer since jesus christ as simply "impatient, faithless people who refused to 'wait on jehovah?".

  Well, it was presumably a good thing, according to Russell, who called Luther one of the Seven MEssengers of the CHurch. (along with St Paul, St John, Arius, Waldo, Wycliffe, and .......... C T Russell!!!)

  Kind of a garbled message. ?

  If Russell is one of the 7 messengers mentioned in Revelation, i'm one of the 10 virgins mentioned in the Gospels! No, really. It came to me in a vision after reading the Bible for 14.9 months straight, without pausing for food, sleep or sex.
