andre gide its is better to be hated for what you are than loved for what you are not.. the words of wisdom from the deceased french author echo through my mind every day, and they make me think, would the people in my congregation give me their unconditional love if i was not doing well in the congregation spiritually?.

spiritually as in giving well in the congregation, making nice comments, doing parts in the service meeting, reading during the book study on stage, working at the literature counter, and recently becoming a servant.. of the 20 or so young ones in the hall only me and 4 others are progressing spiritually.

ive seen the way brothers and sisters have treated those in the hall that arent progressing and dont take the truth seriously.

Look up Scott and let him know how much he means to you. Let him know you are proud of him.

Why Do Witnesses Promote A Unhealthy Lifestyle, My COBE weighs 340lbs (5ft 7in).

by BucketShopBill in

please don't take this the wrong way if your battling weight problems, that's not what this thread is meant to talk about.

i am asking this question because jehovah's witnesses claim they have "the best way of life", "god's blessing", "the truth" and are trying to change the habits of healthy people by turning them in to their own makings.

i watched people who were great athletes turn all their muscle in to fat because we would get a elder or circuit overseer make remarks they were spending too much time "working out" and "bodily training is beneficial for little".

I have struggled with my weight. This past winter I have lost 60 pounds with the help of an entire team of specialists. Though it is a lot of hard work and persistence to shed this sort of weight, it does not follow that overweight people lack discipline, are lazy or are gluttons. This CO is in denial.

How can an all-loving and all-powerful God fail to act in the face of suffering and injustice?

Why doesn't the "conversion glow" last?

The pipsqueak dared to suggest that his father-in-law did not deserve to be an elder? He better watch his step. Who is he going to turn to the next time he is out of food or rent money? Perhaps he can write the Governing Body for new shoes.

brief summary:.

Building in an industrial area makes sense if you are keeping resale value in mind. It is tough to find a buyer who is willing to wait for rezoning in a residential area (where traditionally churches are built).
