  The story of my life (part 9- 1975: the date comes)

  by onacruse in

  how often does it happen that we can be asked, rather like on the witness chair in a trial: "what exactly were you doing on the night of xx-xx-xxxx 30 years ago?

  " and actually be able to answer that question?

  i know exactly what i was doing during the evening of september 30, 1975: i was fervently praying to jehovah that i would be found worthy, in spite of all my weaknesses and failures, to find his favor and live through the next day, the day that armageddon was happening.

  i knew the big A wasn't coming because too much had to happen first, Peace and security wasn't being declared Religion wasn't falling and the great tribution also had to come, i figured these events would take more than a few months.

  No Children

  by joelbear in

  my mother made an interesting observation this morning.

  she said there were not as many kids in the congos as there used to be.

  lots of single sisters but not many single brothers to marry.. if true and widespread, this could create a huge sociological shift in the make up of witness congos.

  The story of my life (part 5- Bethel, the first shock)

  by onacruse in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  about 2 months after i arrived at bethel (late spring), i took my place at the breakfast table...awakened, as usual, by the 6 a.m. bell, a quick shower, and arriving with great anticipation for the 7 a.m. daily comments, with a few words from the "head of the table" (usually knorr, but they had recently started a weekly "cycling" of governing body members; part of the impending organizational elders restructuring).

  the norm was to start eating at 7:30 a.m. (read "scoop the bowl and wolf it down"), and on the clock by 8 a.m.. but, on this day, something completely beyond my anticipation.

  knorr starts off by saying that we should be prepared to sit for a while, as he proceeds, for 3 hours, to outline how a homosexuality "ring" has been operating at bethel for some time, including some gileadites.

  More Creationism vs. Evolution in the news.

  this caught my eye, the poll at the end is kind of scary.

  on the seventh day, america went to court .

  a bitter struggle is unfolding in the us about the most basic of issues: the origins of life.

  the general public isn't very informed and have not been trained in critical thinking.

  school for the most part teaching you to listen and repeat what you have heard.

  people listen to the media, and tend to listen to the media which says stuff that they like.

  I think most here are secretly jealous of me and want to be friends with me only for my good looks and pleasant table manners.
