our readers ask: will the earth survive 2012?.
page 10: "when will this occur?
no human knows.
When they say Jehovah's Witnesses don't, they say that like that commercial where the wife asks:
"Are you drinking out of the container?" and the husband pauses, speaks to the instance and says: "I'm not".
When they say they don't, they redefine Jehovah's Witnesses to be those Jehovah's Witnesses alive at the moment those words hit the page of the Watchtower.

Not complaining...but what happened to 2008 letters?
the jw answer to this is that there must have been some purpose for them that we don't yet understand.. but dinos were pretty violent, basic animals who killed without mercy.
i know not all of them but alot of them did.
the ones that were vegetarian ate huge masses of vegatation, how is that productive to the earth?.
Soil builders. Topsoil is important, but it's not just crushed rock, it's dino-poop.
here is one i am listening to:.

I loop turkey in the straw.
after reading many of your stories dear friends, all i can say is after so many jehovahs witness living all their lives in false teachings, put about by eight old sad men bent on control of the world, i'm glad so many of us have shaken free from the evil lies, it makes you realise just how far power corrupts, i hope the faithful and descret slave gets what they want, in that the world turns their attention to them and are dissolved, such a shame so may had to die for their false reasoning!.
i'm so looking forward to 2014, after 100 years of false promises when they lose droves of people that in the end will end up on this forum and we can chat to them peacefully with respect and welcome them in a non judgemental way and talk about normal things and they will know that the apostates had it right all along!
lol.
Actually Moshe, things have been getting better globally for some time now. The immediate focus of the moment that comes with the lens of the media distorts events as much as the borg did.
i'm still working on it.... http://antgly.bo.lt/84lvi.
That's fantastic. Be sure to use a web site in the netherlands. You can get away with it easier there.
i was the school overseer, and the only way i could pay attention was by ripping every part to shreds.
everything was so elementary and boring.
why anyone would have needed to take notes was beyond me.
newchapter - yeah, I remember all the notebooks and the like. You know, though the things I did do was watch the reactions of everyone who was supposedly "engrossed". ZERO. It was more like....
"I'm a pretty teenie, and I'm going to announce the fact by getting up and marching about every 15 minutes"
and
"Baby, baby,baby...I have to monitor and fiddle with baby, baby crap"
and
"I know I'm grossly obese, but I really, really have to shove more food in my pie-hole because this yummy spiritual food coming into my bone-head is making me hongry"
and
"I'm an important serious brother who is going to count everyone, or stand in the back or do ANYTHING but listen to this garbage because I really LOVE JEHOVAH"
and
"I'm a rebellious teen who's going to predictably wear something to make a statement. Oh, yeah. That statement's been made a BILLION times before, but I'm going to make it anyway."
and
"Looky! I have a beard!...I can grow a BEARD! Yayeee!!"
It was all so damned predictable after a time...
Oh, and what kind of thinking were these marketing gurus enaging in by getting really unfortunately ugly obese brothers and sisters up on the stage as examples of those putting kingdom interests first by pioneering????
I can see the reaction of any "young people" as they "ask"...
"Do I want to be like THAT? NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!"

finally....well I took it seriously until it became clear that they weren't
If every meeting is a one-room-schoolhouse you really need to have something for everyone. That would mean that there would be some things which would be for the novice and some which would involve advanced topics. There should be more bible-geek conventions where you can pick and choose what subjects you'd find entertaining. I'd pick biblical archaeology, or perhaps seminars on the actual daily life of a jew in the first century. Then there could be character analyses of various biblical persons.
No more "look at the pretty panda" mindless crap.
i was talking the other day with a fellow board member about medical emergencies occuring at meetings and how we both agreed that we ( while jw's ) had never seen a meeting stop or be cancelled due to medical emergencies experienced by a fellow jw.
the wt society trains jw' s to lose their authentic human feelings or any empathy towards others physical or emotional sufferings many times.
so many times at meetings , in spite of someone suffering a serious medical emergency it was " the show must go on " type of attitude displayed by congregation elders.. my first experience at seeing a medical emergency at the kingdom hall was an older sister who had an epileptic attack.
Oh and a bro giving the talk fell off the stage breaking the podium in the process. 9/11 was called, and he was ok.

I remember HOPING that there might be SOMETHING of interest, but it never happened.
Oh, and just try to talk to someone about a thought or two you might have on an interesting scripture with no commentary from the WTBS - forget it!
