  "Matthew 5:5 Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth."

  by pale.emperor in

  now that im not longer a jw this verse puzzles me.

  being born and raised a witness, this verse confirmed to me that jesus was talking about a paradise on earth.

  but now that everything the witnesses taught is 99.99% incorrect can somone explain what he was getting at here?

  6 New Kingdom Halls Built In The US This Year

  by James Jack in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  on our local needs part tonight, the elder (on the local ldc), conducting the part, said he just got back from a meeting in memphis tn with members from the us branch rdc conducting the meeting.

  they mentioned that only 6 new kingdom halls and 2 major re-models were completed in 2016.

  "it may seem like a small accomplishment, considering under the old rbc arrangement there was some 700 projects on the average each year being done", "but, this is going 5-10 years of training to kick this new program into optima production".

  3rd,

  I am so sorry for your loss. Not the recent death, but the loss of being as close to an orphan as you can be without being one.

  I swear, there is NO shred of social skills in that dreaded organization! They put the "funk" in dysfunction. I wish you a complete healing journey.

  i saw this news scrolling at the bottom of the television screen this morning.

  i looked it up.

  not much of a story, but it certainly has the ring of truth to it.

  Prince was speaking from a "high" plane. High people are not rational or lucid.

  Taking up a Cause

  by OnTheWayOut in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so recently, my jw wife asks me if i ever considered taking up a cause.it was a question out of the blue, coming off of a discussion about politics.

  so while it was unsaid, she was really getting at whether i was considering being politically active in some way.. i already have a standard answer that i have used before with other people, so i said it.

  "no, i will be content to work and get by then retire and sit in the sun with a good book and a cold water.

  Entertainment: What's everybody reading or into right now?

  i picked up bernard cornwell's the pagan lord at the library.

  historical fiction set in england after the death of alfred the great.

  i'm loving it, especially the between-the-lines wit and sense of timing in cornwell's writing, and the complete badassery of the protagonist.

  My gay friend went back to JWs?

  by schnell in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  one of my best friends was disfellowshipped several years ago, and word quickly got around that it was because he's gay.

  we lost touch after that because of the disfellowshipping, but since i'm out now, i just found him online and got back in touch with him.

  it was a great conversation, but he said he returned to jehovah.

  They are happy that their country is facing a Fascist crisis. They think it will jump start Armageddon.
