  I would totally buy some snarky coffee mug or maybe even a t-shirt. I've had great experiences with cafepress also.

  But I prefer more simple styles. What you have now is very busy and would take much explaining. Just my .02

  Please explain the point of being Good?

  by Brocephus in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i never understood the point of being good and righteous if the only punishment for not doing so was "nothing" i would die and nothing would happen.

  just nothing, no hell, no pain, no regret... just nothing.. on the other hand if i am good.... i have to deal with the jw's and their rules and boring meetings forever!!!

  no worldly girls to sneak around with on saturday night.. no keg parties to sneak off too on friday?....

  Brocephus I felt exactly the same way. When I was an active JW I even told my friends & family I'd rather live just this one life and actually enjoy it, then be miserable my whole life and possibly, maybe get a chance to live forever. Oddly I got the same looks. lol.

  You can get the 1994 bound volumes on Ebay. I was just looking yesterday. They are listed for like $20 US. I can dig out the link if you want it.

  April 15th WT/ Generation - MORE Points/ Mind Control by WT Society

  by flipper in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we all chewed on this article pretty well when the news first came out about the " overlapping anointed " concept , however we discussed so much on just those 2 paragraphs dealing with the new " generation " theory - that almost the rest of the article was overlooked .

  our lurking inactive jw friend on the board sent us a copy of the april 15th.

  i think you folks may find this interesting.. on pg.

  Every time I go back and read that article I'm shocked. It's glaringly obvious to most of us here and yet so frustrating that most of the active JWs won't notice or WORSE will be invigorated by this "new light". Even the highlighted box "Are you keeping up with increased light?" angers me. It SHOULD point out the various doctrine changes and wake the rank & file up, however it will only serve as encouragement and PROOF that this is Jah's org. The various changes actually work in favor of the Governing Body and it make me nausous.

  I'm so worried for my brother and my children (being brought to the meetings by my ex). I feel anxious and stressed about "saving" them yet hopeless about accomplishing it.

  you should not have to choose between your religion and family ! (awake mag quote)

  last summer there was a big upset caused by an article (july ,ithink) in the awake about a hindu lady that upset her family by leaving her religion and joining jehovahs witnesses and the ironic thing was it had the above quote in it , that someone should not have to choose between family and religion !

  i printed the article off and underlined that section , and recently sent it to my inlaws along with a letter , because they are upset about not seeing their grandchild because they banned their son from the house (he sdisfellowshipped) i am trying to sort the situation out , and i thought they might notice the hypocrisy in the article , however that idea did not work as apparently" there are lies on the internet !

  " and father in law was not very happy to receive it , but it is from an awake magazine ,watchtower literature !

  i just wanted to let you know of something that has liberated me recently.

  i decorated my office with hearts for valentine's day this year.

  my family has known for over ten years that i do not want to practice the jw faith, although i am not df'd or da'd.

  I'm so happy that you are reaching this point as well! It'll be fun to go through these forbidden holidays together. This is my first year celebrating openly too. I sent you an email today too. What are you busy or something? lol.
