It was 10 years old when I got him....he was so good to me. The previous owner was elderly and it was garage kept. I'm still mourning his loss.

A Big Thanks to John Williams at Bethel
by mentallyfree31 inabout five years ago, john williams came to philadelphia, ms as a visiting bethel speaker for our special assembly day.
i was well acquainted with him, as he had been to my kh before as a special weekend speaker, and also to a neighboring congregation.
in his afernoon talk, he goes off about social network websites and he made this statement: "brothers, make no mistake about it, myspace is no place for christians".

Stumbled across a recurring theme in WT: teach 'the organization' to your kids
by sd-7 inyesterday afternoon, right before i was about to take my wife to the kingdom hall (no, i'm not attending, haven't been in 9 months, strangely enough am still thinking of returning if it would help my marriage, but it won't), i happened to notice her opened october 15th, 2010 watchtower.
around page 25 or so, there was an article that caught my eye.
it instructed parents to teach their children to 'not act independently of the organization, even in small matters'.

Sorry for going off topic...
SD-7 I shudder to think of what this regime will do if they start tampering with medical or other life-or-death issues...
Their blood stance draws enough unwanted, negative attention. Anything more will get them the dangerous cult label from international govts and medical authorities. The WT is trying to appear normal, framing the blood issue as one of religious freedom and personal choice regarding medical procedures. To some extent they are able to sell this . Tampering any further will cost them.

Outlaw, those pics are as scary. Same mind control tactics that the WT uses.
The two articles shows are how desperate the WT is in regards to gaining & maintaining control over the flock. The youngings are not getting baptised and are leaving in droves. Even under the threat of losing family connections, very few are returning. The message to parents is more cult-like now than it was when I was growing up.

This CO served in my old circuit 15 years ago, he is a company man thru and thru. Spent most of his life in the full-time serve-us so he's counting on the dubs to continue his lifestyle.
What KM was he referring to?

While in, did you ever rationalize questionable behavior, entertainment, even sin as justifide?
by miseryloveselders ini'm not the biggest fan of depeche mode, but a couple of their albums were actually ok. there's one track by them i've always loved called, "strangelove" from their music for the masses album, and the lyrics remind me of my own thought process at times.
the lead vocalist sings at one point, "i give in, to sin, because you have to make this life livable.
looking back on it, i feel that i needed to watch that fight.

I think you should nix the card and just ask her out for coffee.
The theme of the card (thank you..for what?) is confusing. If your intention is to give her something in the spirit of the season, a simple non-religious seasonal card will accomplish that. You can find those at Hallmark stores.
If your intention is to get to know her, then be direct and ask her out. I hate when men beat around the bush. She's been giving you the green light so proceed.
No offense Bruh, but you sound a little wound up....you know what i mean. A little female companionship will take the edge off.
And yes, I've rationalized situations to take the sting out of miserable circumstances that I was dealing with. It's the first step in thinking for yourself and recognizing that standards/rules dictated by others may not be the best for us.
