i attended one day of a two day assembly and did ok until the very last talk.
the brother was from bethal and well jw's pay closer attention to their talks, cause that is when some new info is given,,,right.
well anyways i lost focus and began to daydream, cause it became one of those talks that just talks about wasting time.
They are actually setting up control systems to keep the remaining freaked into submission
now some super dubs and weak ones will be squinting in prayer, getting 'stumbled' coz some couple 'disobeyed' the faithful slave!
Watch out for squinty eyed elders too... they will be spying on ya! Back room for you buddy!

just got done reading a previous topic about elders monitoring this site...i have never heard of that!!!
does anyone know if it is just brooklyn elders that do this,,,or are other elders assigned throughout the country????
god,,,for creepy.....
HA! Let them look for me! not that i look remotely like i did when they knew me!
and to those that are spying... naughty naughty naughty! welcome, and may you too get awakened
lady lee,.
i'm impressed witht the map that you posted 5 years ago with the location of each member.. can you provide an updated sheet?.
with the locations, i will them pm each person for their email, and compile them in an excel spread sheet.. what i want to do is get the email of each person, then when i'm in that a certain part of the country, i will send an email to those in that area, as i love "our" conversations.
no way would i go on this... sorry if you are genuine but genuine or not, waaaaaayyyyyyyyy too many negitive reasons why.

i have a convaluted relationship w/my jw for-lack-of-a-better-word-bf.
we have a bizarre relationship.
i am not his gf but must act accordingly.
RUN FAST AND FAR!
Boil all the JW dross out and you have a guy who expects you to CHANGE to be good enough to marry. In other words, he does NOT like/love you for you. If he says he does, he will be lying first to himself than you. ACTIONS speak louder than words.
RUN
i am really on the fence on this issue right now and would love some opinions.. i find that i dont sit down and read the bible for long periods since becoming inactive, but on the other hand, individual scriptures mean much more to me now.. i will sit down and look up some favorite passages from time to time and feel like its the first time i really "got it" - without the jw goggles on.
i love matthew chapter 23, since i think it describes to a tee the situation in jw congregations.
i think if jesus returned today, he would blast the elders and "leaders" of the borg in a similar fashion (along with most religious leaders) .matthew 24 is actually more interesting to me now, simply because my whole life was waiting for the 1914 generation to end sometime during the reagan era!
stopped reading it as soon as i left.
But the belief that it is/was the inspired word of god correctly understood only by the JWs lasted almost 12 years.
now trying to fathom that it might just be a bunch of tales of violence and mayhem perpetuated by generations of goat farmers...
jury is out...

many of you are already familiar with the watchtower's 10 year association with the un.
there's also a good amount of us that are familiar with the "flagship" rebuttal site of this association---> http://www.jehovahsjudgment.co.uk/watchtower-un-ngo/.
time and time again i have been referred to this website when talking to jw's about this issue.
way good! i will enjoy reading through the blog.

when oprah asked if the kids were being raised jw and she knew that jdubs don't celebrate b'days and holidays, janet gave the shocking news that (i'd advise all with heart and medical conditions to take a seat now) she said that yes the children do (as ins always) celebrate there b'day and holidays.
the horror, i'm so totally shocked and stunned!!
you mean a poor family from gary, indiana hit the big time, and although the mother was a jw and the dad was not, and the kids were signed to million dollar contracts while in their teens .
I dont particularly care about the Jackson history, but i do feel sorry for Michael Jackson kids being swallowed by the WBTS.
I am sure we will hear more about them as teenagers and i wager it wont be pretty, probably 3 trainwrecks in slow motion.
very sad

i'm just curious: has the watchtower said when we will have armageddon, or they are avoiding to give any date, or are they avoiding noticing that all the signs are there to suggest that there is a specific date we should look forward to?
any dates?.
If the Big "A" is soooo close......why waste time & resources on a new song book, making all these doctrinal & organizational changes and moving the WTS HQ to Patterson? Could an organization that claims to be God's Channel on earth for truth, please have a record of non-changing complete truth at least for a little while before the end comes?
because they are a 'do as i say, not as i do ' religion...
