by vilot inthe time has arrived.... .
it has arrived just as prophised.
for time indefinate it was predicted and yet it is here...the time, generations have awaited peoples have prayed and yet it eluded them for the time was not yet...but it has arrived the chosen few that would live to see it., to live it to actually experience it for they are the chosen the few to receive the promise the reward...they waited faithfully girded themselves with the faith knowing it would arrive...and they were here when it came.

It has arrived just as prophised. For time indefinate it was predicted and yet it is here…the time, generations have awaited peoples have prayed and yet it eluded them for the time was not yet…but it has arrived the chosen few that would live to see it., to live it to actually experience it for they are the chosen the few to receive the promise the reward…they waited faithfully girded themselves with the faith knowing it would arrive…and they were here when it came. Glory to be praise to be honor the one on high for to be the one was the final quest to actually see…to see was the ends to see was the effort to see was the only goal…but it has arrived for in it’s glory it has become. Prophets predict seekers seek faithful keep the faith and they did not fail…it is here we can feel it touch it it is real and yet…is it…Spirit above awake my soul make me see what I need to see make me believe what I need to believe for my journey is long and my path is hard but the goal, the goal set before me must be true for I have forsaken all for the goal…Spirits above I have lost all to gain all… -

The Nobel Peace prize has ceased to be about accomplishment. It is all political. He got the prize 2 Weeks after he was sworn in. Sure consider him after a couple of years after we see his accomplishments... The Nobel Peace prize is a joke...

As a single adult JW for 28 years I was a closet drinker, it dulled the pain of lonelyness and dispair...My only hope for happiness was the new system and as the years passed by ever quicker I realized my dream was fading fast. I knew of a few other closet drinkers I guess there is an unspoken word or understanding you just know. Being in such a repressive mind control cult will drive some to sooth the pain anyway they can...

Tried and Failed methods of Field Service...

(1 corinthians 9:16) he was not casual about the good news because preaching it meant life for himself and his hearers.
(1 timothy 4:16) we view our ministry in the same way.

Paul wrote: “Really, woe is me if I did not declare the good news!” (1 Corinthians 9:16) He was not casual about the good news because preaching it meant life for himself and his hearers. (1 Timothy 4:16) We view our ministry in the same way. We want to help our neighbors. We want to show our love for Jehovah. We want to prove our love for Jesus and our appreciation for his great love for us. Hence, we preach the good news and thus live “no more for the desires of men, but for God’s will.”—1 Peter 4:1,2.
If they truely want to help their neighbors with a thorough witness why stick with the "tried and failed" methods they use, why not night field service when people are ACTUALLY home...

Apprehension about the holidays
by greenie inso...i've been feeling a tightness in my chest thinking about the upcoming holiday season.
you know, october = halloween; november=thanksgiving; december=christmas, etc.
i'm not sure how to approach them with my dub (for those who don't know, i'm a non-jw, never have been one, never will be).

Hi greenie I don't know your story as to how you married a JW anyway I would just go with the flow. If he's had no problem with it in the past I can't imagine why he would now object. Invite him to join in the family part of the holidays and hopefully he can relax and enjoy.
Funny story actually, when I became a JW at age 21 I cut all holiday ties with my family. My mother would invite me to Thanksgiving and say "it's just dinner" and I always declined not wanting to give the apparence of accepting the holiday. One thursday evening (thanksgiving) I was invited to a pioneer's house her family (all JW's) would be there with other JW's as well...Believe it or not I didn't even think about it but when I arrived I was shocked to my core to see a FULL Thanksgiving meal prepared complete with Autumn leaves with each persons name as to where to sit...All I could think of was what a hypocrite I would be to participate with this dinner when I had hurt my mother for so many years...I didn't leave and felt like crap...

It was actually the mind numbed meetings that lead me to my path out...sitting there listening to the same crap year after year I would zone out. My mind would wander on things I had never considered ,I would thumb thru the Bible and begin to think "this stuff just doesn't make sense". For years I would just flip to the required scripture and never even think about it. As I began my "personal" bible study there in the hall it finally made sense the Bible (to me) was not the word of god but of man...Then I began to study the history of the WTS, I would never consider apostate sites but I didn't need to their history, beginning with Russell, proved to me it was all a sham...
