If you don't mind me asking cattails, why are you still going? Are you attempting a slow fade?
No, I don't mind. Family is the reason, economics is the problem, or vice-versa.

New Songs a Trip
by cattails in.
you should have heard when people were singing one of the updated songs.. they've changed the third line's tune and words .. it was almost complete silence as people tried to figure out what on earth they were supposed to sing.. .
do other religions change lyrics of songs like that or is it only jws whose beliefs change and even the songs they sing need updating?.

One DO had this thing for talking about skirt length and slit up to the thigh... He mentioned it every SAD and CA
and always used the words "coochie momma" and we sisters shouldn't be dressing like a "coochie momma"
because people in our territory might think we were "coochie mommas" coming to their doors. Trouble is after
all his "coochie momma" mentions and the explicit details of women's tight skirts that you could see panty lines
he had all sisters blushing and brothers "squirming" in their seats.
But about empty seats at the KH being bought with Christ's Blood I see absolutely no mention in the Bible
that Christ came on a mission to buy seats at any KH. Actually I thought Christ came to redeem humankind from
its sinful state, and to ransom them from death to life. Seems like the brother giving that talk was stretching his
illustration a bit much. If there are so many empty seats maybe it's because of the horrendous treatment of the
flock by the hired undershepherds who abuse and fleece them at the orders of a Book publishing corporation.

Hmmm... If the WTS is so spiritual why don't they publish an experience where they sold a building in order to help poor widows?
Or got rid of some redundant KH (now that they're combining congos like crazy) and used the proceeds to put a roof on some poor family's house?
Or maybe how they sold some of the old printing machines they have parked on the side, unused and buy tuition and school clothes for poor children in Africa?
Etc. Why? Because they are NOT "so spiritual". They expect sacrifice from everyone else for their benefit.

Thanks Shamus100. I'd love a pint.
I feel trapped sometimes, other times I feel like I just need to wait it out.
It must be like being in prison, except if you misbehave they kick you out.
Right and ready for a second pint.

"Secret Watchtower" - No, there is NO Secret Watchtower
by RubaDub inso as not to hijack other threads, i still can't understand why people keep referring to the new, "members only" watchtower as "secret?".
if you go to the meeting, you will get a copy.
if you have a family member, you can get a copy.

If she's toast already then why not make the most out of it?
Bring on the peanut butter and jam! Let'em have it and bring lots of questions.
If they say that several people have reported she no longer believes she can say...
Well, I've asked questions, I've let myself get weak in my personal study and I need some help
answering questions, I just have questions, and it seems wrong to question. Could you answer
some of my questions right here and now? (Use some of the questions from V's videos)
And record the whole thing, bring an iPod and record the whole thing.
Also practice with someone before hand. Practice your answers.
Sound indignant and if you need to stretch what you say
remember they're not entitled to the truth if they
won't admit what the real truth is.

Did You Feel Let Down By Jehovah & The "Brothers"?
by minimus indid you find yourself disappointed in your life as a jehovah's witness?.

Did you find yourself disappointed in your life as a Jehovah's Witness?
No, not disappointed per se. But I do feel there's been good and bad in my life as a JW.
I'm disappointed in the people I thought would be more loving and Christian, but I found
that many JWs I knew when younger, as I grew up, I saw more and more of their flaws.
It's like along with the wrinkles of aging in their familiar faces I also saw the hypocrisy, the
mean spiritedness, the Lording it over others, the holier than thou attitudes... this was
truly disappointing. But then again there are people who I love dearly and I know deep
in my heart that they are victims in the truest sense of the word, but despite this fact
they try to do good for others no matter what. These people encouraged me and continue
to encourage me today.

Bonafide where are you???
by cattails ina couple of months ago we wondered where bonafide had disappeared to...http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/183305/1/the-guy-that-claimed-he-was-going-to-bring-down-the-wtbts.
he had left us with the titillating suggestion he was up to something big to bring down the wtbts.but did he go further undercover?
did he only end up being a troll and nothing more?

But he did make some brazen moves and his tongue may have gotten him in trouble.
Do you think he may have been outted?
