  by minimus in

  it takes time to stop thinking or reacting like a jehovah's witness.. are you still judgmental?

  a know it all?

  a person that listens more with their heart instead of their head---like jehovah's witnesses ???.

  as a jehovah's witness:.

  two things finally struck me:.

  for now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now i know in part, but then i will know fully just as i also have been fully known.. _______________________.

  inactive ones going back...

  i have quite a big group of friends who were all in the cong together when we were teens.

  about 75% of them stopped going or were df'd right after high school.

  it is a varied group; a couple are staunch apostates, some dont care one way or another, and another handfull are fully "worldly", but still believe it is the truth.

  in addition to the recent thread, "how to shut your mind down .

  I always found a good round of sex with the spouse was a good sleep aid afterward.

  "Only if you get a court order." wink, wink

  recently had a discussion with a surgeon who said jw parents "usually" (her word, not mine) privately say they will take blood if the provider gets a court order.. yet another person, with no connection to dubs and no motive to make this up, saying this same thing.

  interesting.. i'm surprised the thought police have not come out with an article saying jehoopla reads the hearts and judges as bloodguilty those who are relieved when forced to take blood..

  2. friends

  i was curious what might be some good things to say if i am questioned by the elduurs about my decline in fs.

  anything too honest may get me a jc (although that would be for the best in the end..) the co visit is this week so they may be getting more agressive than usual.

Then told them they have to go because i. Amgoingto the range. Never heard another ,word aboutit from them.

  i was looking for new books to read at b&n.

  somehow i saw there were pre-orders for ehrman's latest book dealling with the transformation of the historical jesus into god, a concept foreign to judaism to say the least..

  Health care law & JWs

  by L3G in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in the usa the affordable care act/obamacare has kicked in and as of the end of this month, those without paying for health care coverage thru an insurance company, unless they're somehow exempt, will have to pay an increasingly steep annual fine for not buying into the system.. so how will this affect those jws in full-time service?

  is the org paying the premiums of bethelites, traveling overseers, spec.

  pioneers, etc.?

  MYy guess is that they will guilt congregations into giving up "their fair share"like they do for every thing else.

  exJW Elder and Felon in Jail

  exjw elder and felony fugative, michael johnson norris, plead guilt today, 2/27/2014, in santa barbara county superior court for sexual molestation of the daughter of brandon joel, under a plea deal norris was sentenced to in state prison, a far cry from the possible 25 years he could have received had the case gone to trial.

  the family has full intentions of pursuing a civil litigation against norris and the watchtower society that harbors pedophiles..
