i think there has always been your average garden variety pioneer couples and mr and mrs cobe and back in the day these tended to be a little bit dorky the wife -homely, the husband -fatherly, they shopped at thrift stores and lived in someone elses garage.
but as competition for a slice of the power pie has ramped up over the years what we have now seems to be a whole new ball game.
does ultimate power lie with the men, the "family heads"?
Welcome sparrowdown!
Boy have the Watchtower done you a favour and shot themselves in the foot at the same time.
Please keep committing the scandalous crimes of thinking, speaking, reading, writing and reasoning.
I like your posts.
But your last paragraph in the OP above...
Priceless, sad and true all at once.

hey babe, how about you and me doing a -.
generation overlap
If you're willing to go beyond adoring the GB, we can be more than friends.
i stopped believing in god in july 2013. in the first 3 months or so i felt liberated and relieved that i can live my life anyway i wanted without worrying about an invisible being watching my every move.
i also felt slightly superior that i was able to figure out that god isn't real while the majority of mankind continued to be fooled.
atfer the feelings of excitment statrted to wear off, i started to become more depressed and empty.
@Space Madness.
Recently I was contemplating different frameworks for interpreting the Bible.
I came up with three.
Religious.
Atheist.
Spiritual.
Having tried the first two, what are your thoughts on the latter?

we asked this person if it could be aqbout the terminology change and they said that was already read last week...... we remember the last time they did this.
got everyone all excited thinking the big "a" was coming and all it was about, was the literature would now be donated instead of charging for it.. .
According to new light just in, we deserve to get fatter and more powerful on your dime, time and energy.
We love this idea.
Now get to it already bitches.
im a long-time lurker turned member, finally felt the need to share my experience with people who know where im coming from.
will try to be as succinct as possible!.
am from the uk and was born in as 3rd generation.
Welcome OLK.
Enjoyed "Folly Trolly".
You're too kind.
i am a bit up and down due to my bipolar.still feeling a bit yucky, angry and sad due to the borg etc.i didn't go to church today but at least i haven't got anyone asking me where i was, or i would feel better if i'd gone to the meeting, blah blah blah.. my relationship with god is between the 2 of us and it's not open to speculation or analysis from anyone.. i stayed in bed this morning with coffee and the papers.
ace!!!

Hey quellycatface!

is it the pedophile thing, ngo, generation change, blood issue?
what do you think it is?.
It certainly seems to be that there is something intangible or metaphysical about their ability to hold their followers captive for so long despite so much evidence of their bad fruit, corruption, illegitimacy and irrelevance.
But, yes, their end is assured.
Not if, but when.
Happy birthday bigmac.

Their own publications.
Their own fruit.
Their fear of TTATGN.
TTATGN = The Truth About The Good News (Gal 2:5,14; Col 1:5)
why is it that on jw discussion boards, anyone who brings up difficult issues or questions will soon be banned from the site, while sites like this one where debate and discussion are encouraged, we welcome believing jws with open arms?.
of course, most of us here know the answer to that!
but it is something to take note of, and to mention when you get a chance.. there was a recent post about a jw group on facebook.
All reasonable questions and questioners welcome on JWN but not on JW websites.
Indeed.
Plus on JWN there are answers for difficult or inconvenient questions about the Watchtower.
