  We had one CO that loved football - always accepted a free ticket to a game.

  Then the next CO gave talks about how no one should go to or watch the games.

  Every 3 years, it's a new High Priest, with new rules.....

  Is The WTS Getting Desperate for Males? KM Aug 2009

  just thought this article was interesting in view of what has been said in the last couple of years on the forum about the declining number of elders and servants and those reaching out.

  add to that the large percentage of young teenage boys who leave 'the truth'.

  i can't ever remember this much space in a km being devoted to converting men.. para 2 states: "when a family head accepts the truth, he often influences others in the family to join him in pure worship".

  Definately Armageddon.

  I remember terrible nightmares. I used to sleep with my bedroom light on almost every night. I'm a bad sleeper to this day and I think it's because I learned to sleep with one eye open all the time....

  my grandmother is 87. got the truth "on the farm" and her and my grandfather used to have meetings in their home, baptise people in their bathtub.

  when she first heard that you could go door-to-door, she was in her glory.

  she has always loved the service.

  Hi Spike!

  Thank you for quoting that scripture in Ecc. It is one that I have thought of alot. I have had alot of unusual circumstances in my life. I haven't put an actual story on here, or a biography. I guess my story is kinda scattered amongst my posts. But I also take responsibility for the things I've done. I'm just having trouble right now figuring out how I could've handled things differently. I almost feel like I've been dragged through the last few years, at the mercy of others. Like I'm struggling through a busy subway station, going against the tide of people, and I finally just said, O screw it......But instead of going along with the tide, I have just bowed out of the crowd. And boy, did I ever need the breather!! It feels so good right now, to just sit back for a second and take a rest.

  Will I go back to the Witnesses? I honestly don't know right now. My experience with them has been that there is not alot of practicing what they preach. Everything seems fake. The people I have had experience with is that they are not nice people and more screwed up than people I have met in the world.

  I believe in God. I believe he deserves my respect and worship. But I'm not sure how to go about that. I'm no longer sure who his people are or if he has a people. I am reading the Bible alot, but various versions of it.

  Thank-you for replying to me. I really do appreciate your insights and will think about what you've said.

  Take care, Friend.

  How about if we apologise for taking so long to get involved in the Iraq war?

  I realise that it took you alot longer to get involved when it came to Hitler......but then, everyone knew he had weapons......
