  What was your first Computer?

  by The Lone Ranger in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the last topic got me thinking about this.. my first computer was back in 1981, a sinclair zx81, it has 1k of memory.

  then in 1982 i progressed to a clone of an apple 2 with 16k of memory which i incresed to 48k, a floopy drive for that apple cost me $600 !!!

  .. in approx 1987 i got an ibm xt 640megs with a 20meg hard drive..it was like a dream .

  What do you feel is the reason the WTS succeeds in retaining its members?

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  most of my family have been members since the early 1970's.they attend 3 meetings per week,fly or drive to summer assemblies,preach the average 10 hours per month,and read the same boring watchtower magazine week after week.

  the congregation has lost nearly all the young teens,many have quit attending all the meetings,some divorced,and some members just going thru the motions.

  i'm never going to question them on why they still remain members but shouldn't all the promises of "this generation never dying" make them question the wts.... just a little?

  i'm feeling rejected and hurt because i've just been informed that i am not invited to my little sisters wedding.

  first, here's a little background story on my relationship with her: she and i are three years apart.

  when we were younger we were very close (i was in the "truth" back then).

  New meeting arrangement - just over 5 months to go

  by passwordprotected in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  at the recent dc the new meeting arrangement was mentioned just once, but not to give us further details on how the new meeting will be structured or how the r&f will be cared for.. .

  instead the audience was urged not the second guess the gb, being advised to look at how well the spirit has directed the org up until now, so therefore it will do so into the future.. .

  but the reality is the congregations are only just over 5 months away from this new meeting arrangement, yet they know little about how it'll actually affect them.. .

  Afraid of the end of the world?

  by LearningMore in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am wondering how much of my anxiety about the end of the world is from the wt experience, and how much is just me.

  i just watched wall-e, and while a cute movie, it really made me anxious.

  scifi in general makes me nervous.

  JWs and the Mentally Challenged

  by almostbitten in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i know three women from the local kh (one is a distant relative of mine) who call on my uncle for bible study.

  problem is, he has alzheimer's disease--and they were told about this!!!

  still, they've been doing studies with him until my aunt (his wife) told them to stop coming by.
