Discarding all that wonderful spiritual food at the proper time. Such a waste of nutritional nuggets.... What is the real reason behind getting rid of old publications?

Few observations made at the RC
by Crazyguy2 inonce again the mention of jesus was or has been very little this truly is an old testament cult with some sprinkles of pauline writings to help them in their doctrines.
i also noticed how mixed up the congregations are at this and probably other rcs.
some of the local congregations are here near the rcs site but also ones almost 100 miles away as well , yet other local congregations are not scheduled at this time.

Staring at assemblage during prayer?!? Weird! Counting cars...now that is bizarre...I would hazard a guess that parking fees maybe on the horizon...if they can find a way to get around the logistics and legalities....

And the big donation idea is just plain ludicrous. Ever hear the saying "a fool and his money are soon parted" ??

Yikes...lot of good feedback....my thought is to come clean and honest with all concerned. It may cause family problems but once the air settles in the long run will make for a much better life for you and whoever you end up with in a long term relationship. You can't base a life on pretense...it is unhealthy and will come back to bite you eventually. If you do not feel part of the religion, cut loose. You can date anyone you choose and have whatever relationships you decide on...no religion should bind you or cause misgivings about your personal choices. Good luck!

Good manners are not part of the JW mindset. That is just plain rude and unnecessary.

Cause of Mass Shootings Mental Health?
by blondie ini have been sad to see so many groups and individuals say that the cause of these events are the mental status of the shooters.
i have looked over the backgrounds of these shooters, and few had medically identified mental health issues.
it is too easy to think that people shoot or kill other people because they are mentally ill.. actually, many or most people with real mental illnesses are most likely to be the victims of others.. i have been a volunteer with the organization called nami (national alliance of mental lillness) for 25 years now.

I agree with peacefulpete that assault weapons have no place in the hands of anyone simply because they are able to obtain them. And I think perpetrators of mass killings are not necessarily mentally ill .... But most certainly lacking fellow feeling. Their hatred and anger was fed to a point where they exploded. An abusive background, lack of healthy socialization, media over coverage of hate crimes, all may have come into play. Strict gun control may stem the tide to some extent but if you have an angry hate filled person intent on acting out, he will find a different means....and that may simply result in fewer casualties or less notoriety.... It is complicated for sure.

Money! How much did you "Contribute" To The WTB@TS When You Were A Member
by The Bethelite ini was in full time service for six years including bethel.
once i got out of bethel, i figured i had already given them six of the best years of my life (ages 18-24) working as a slave/drone in their factory, so i rationalized that i had given them enough... so over the next 27 years i would say maybe $200 bucks is it.
i think their whole "voluntary contributions" idea is biting them in the ass, because over all jehovah's witnesses are a cheap group people with a few exceptions.
