they don't think like that. if they are in that mind set, they see doing what they do as their life.
sad, but true.

july 15 2009 life story of edwin ridgwell explains how he pioneered during the rutherford era in estonia and latvia.
usual pioneer horror stories of being "covered in bedbugs and standing in a freezing cold river for relief..." "sleeping on peoples floors in the cold.." he explains about his wife: "we had hoped to live on together through armagedon into jehovah's new world, but the cruel enemy death snatched her in 1998. that was a devastating blow - one of the greatest trials of my life...".

the mind control in this latest oct.15th is amazing.
our lurking jw friend sent us this and it basically tellls witnesses that their opinions don't matter and only god is good .
it belittles independent thinking and explains that each rank and file jw is owned by the alleged " faithful and discreet slave " .
i thought they said the preaching work was done.
if jesus returned invisibly in 1914 how would anyone really know?

WW1 started, thus Jesus appeared, had a war in heaven and started the last days. WW1 started.

the only time Serena irritates me is when she thanks her God Jehovah after winning a championship. as if, if there was a god, he would give a hoot about her
tennis career. Serena is a multi millionaire, fixed for life and will in many years to come a tennis commentator making more millions. she got mad, its
easy to do when playing tennis, its an intense one on one sport. but she needs to apologize and her sponsors will be sure that she does.
from Our Gang, Mickey, he was adorable.
i was watching steve martin "leap of faith" pg rated mind you with some witnesses.

i think in the near future this will be very prevalent and be the norm.
i don't think anyone will want to have the risk of inherent birth defects that are preventable and their child being born that way just because they didn't want it, the future concerns of the child being more important.
religons will have to go along with this too or else get a very bad label as not being progressive and harmful to the human race..
we, as all living things, will do anything to give our genes a better change of survival.
its all about the replicators.
i know this has been re-hashed many times here.
in great detail with quotes from former watchtower articles, etc.
i'm going to cut to the chase and just make this brief and direct.
the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society screwed us. all of us has there own story
as to how they were screwed.
the best revenge is living well. never forget that.
it is my feeling that no other group of people face a life quite like those of us who are shunned by our family and social network.
of friends.
the loss of both of these at the same time can do a enormous amount of emotional damage.
It is my feeling that no other group of people face a life quite like those of us who are shunned by our family and social network
of friends. The loss of both of these at the same time can do a enormous amount of emotional damage. I know, from my personal
experience that it affects my life greatly. I think I have made mistakes in the way that I have handled my life as a disfellowshipped
person. The main mistake I have made is trying to cling to family members who are shunning me. My one piece of advice is to
seriously consider accepting disfellowshipping and moving on quickly to form a new direction for your life, make new friends who
are supportive and try to understand how it feels to live as a shunned person. I am interested in reading what other people
have done to cope with being a shunned person. I consider myself in recovery and I continue to have good days and bad days, but
I still have hope that I will one day find true peace of mind after 21 years of struggling as a disfellowshipped person.
Thanks

i guess more folks to die at the hands of a loving god at the time of the big a....each day jehovah waits, there will be more people who need to die.....is this one of his loving provisions?
but i guess with the potential growth in the global south, there is still hope for wts growth....world population projected to reach 7 billion in 2011story highlights global population to reach 7 billion in two years, research institute projectsmost growth is occurring in developing and poor nations, study findsuganda's population expected to almost triple by 2050india projected to overtake china as most populous countrywashington (cnn) -- the world's population is forecast to hit 7 billion in 2011, the vast majority of its growth coming in developing and, in many cases, the poorest nations, a report released wednesday said.. a staggering 97 percent of global growth over the next 40 years will happen in asia, africa, latin america and the caribbean, according to the population reference bureau's 2009 world population data sheet.. "the great bulk of today's 1.2 billion youth -- nearly 90 percent -- are in developing countries," said carl haub, a co-author of the report.
eight in 10 of those youth live in africa and asia.. "during the next few decades, these young people will most likely continue the current trend of moving from rural areas to cities in search of education and training opportunities, gainful employment, and adequate health care," haub continued, calling it one of the major social questions of the next few decades.. in the developed world, the united states and canada will account for most of the growth -- half from immigration and half from a natural increase in the population -- births minus deaths, according to the report.. high fertility rates and a young population base in the developing world will fuel most of the growth, especially in africa, where women often give birth to six or seven children over a lifetime, the report says.
man continues to take up a higher and higher percentage of the biomass. more humans means less other stuff, cause there's just so much biomass. in addition to create human comforts man is altering huge hunks of the biomass. we won't be around to see the big effects. your great grandchildren will live in a very different world that we do.
