Oh the weirdness: Observations from a study
by howdidtihappen ini started studying jw with a work friend because she used to keep me at arms length and i knew it was because of her religion.
she and her family are such lovely people so i thought maybe there was something to it, how bad can it be, etc.
i was enticed by this girls friendship as she has been spending more time with me but continues to say "you're not one of us yet" which continually freaks me out.

Howdidithappen, the one thing I would commend you for is your having perceived you were being manipulated. I sort of was in your shoes once.
I surmise you're interested in this girl. She may not be interested in you, but might not share that information just so you jump ship.
Everyone else here has a lot more moral authority than myself to speak about these things, but my recommendation is that you stop going to the Kingdom Hall, stop studying and all that. Just don't stop checking this site, to find information.

1984 WT cover, 1914 Gen That Will Not Pass -- How many of 16 alive today?
by FatFreek 2005 inthose people on that cover were supposed to represent a group of people that would still live on into the new order.
in your best guess, how old were most of those 16 people at the time the photo was taken, and how many do you suppose are still alive today?.
remember, that wt was printed in 1984, nearly 27 years ago.

I could really use some advice :(
by FifthOfNovember inokay, here's some background information.. my girlfriend is in a program at a college about 30 minutes away.
she can only come home on the weekends and i usually go over once a week to visit.
there is a guy there that she hangs out with quite a bit, she's mentioned how he is really nice and funny.

if your girl asks how would you feel if she's kissed a guy that she has a small crush on I bet my bottom dollar the deed has already been done and now she's backtracking and denying that anything happened.
Truer words were never spoken.

Update: I got the shun at my dad's funeral- the best outcome really!!
by Coffee House Girl inhello all jwn .
so glad to have that over with- it was surreal to walk in the kh after two years...it is just a building to me now (not "jehovah's house").
i must say that now i'm on the outside...what a boring sad building- the people were not joyful and friendly (just older and fatter than i remember)- i got the nervous stares and shaky "hi" when i looked at all of them and said hello.. my mom was sitting all by herself in the front row of the hall...i went and sat by her side.

So what do ya'll think about the recent new light?
by stillin9 inyou know, the thing they were talking about in the 2011 dc.
it was about how the "toes" of daniel's image no longer represent all the individual governments that have come around in human history.
and that the anglo-american world power is the last world power we'll see before the end of the system of things.

Keyser Soze:
I cant wait to find out what the dirt between the toes represents.
And then foot fungus
I have never understood why they think of the "Anglo-American world power" as one and the same. They were at odds more than once (witness the American Revolution). For some reason, the Anglo-American world power does not seem to include Canada or Australia, which are formally under Queen Elizabeth, but they do include the Americans, with their full independence.
Why didn't they ever include the Mongols, with Gengis Khan? The Germans? To this day, Russia has the remnants of its position as a true world power, but it doesn't seem to be part of the "world powers". Now, Medo-Persia does. Ha-ha.

One in every congregation
by WTWizard init seems that there is always one self-righteous idiot in every congregation that is like this:.
first, the person will find every opportunity to see how much wealth people have.
this wealth is in either time or material things.

Your being sad is pretty understandable and human. It's unfortunate that you were born in a group that makes people pay such a price if they choose to be themselves. I think you should never forget that you are who you are and where you are because you saw the truth. These people are in the wrong. Two wrongs wouldn't make it right.
You have lovely children and they stand much better chances because of you and your wife's decision.
Happy anniversary!
