  Broken Promises

  I'm sorry to hear this. The fact that 2 little kids are also involved is heartbreaking...

  I've gone to counseling. All hey do is listen to you. They never really offer me any advice or anything...

  It's not their job to give advice. After all, what if they offered you advice and you followed it, and it didn't work? It would be easy to blame the counsellor for giving the wrong advice. That's why they can't offer advice. All they can do is assist you as you work out what it is that will work for you.

  i was curious, how many jws end up getting caught up in pyramid scemes like amway.

  i was caught up in there online program quixstar for a little while several years ago.

  i noticed there are several similarities between amway and a cult..

  People who will never hear the WT message

  you are all familiar with the heartwarming images of people from all lands joining in a "great crowd" marching in to the promised land.

  it occurred to me with more than nine countries and 1.6 billion people who are not recorded in the yearbook, that a great number of ethnic groups will not be represented.

  china.

  Broken Promises, I did not include Russia in my list of unreached people. The following countries were not included in the Yearbook

  I'm well aware of that. Russia was an example of a former country of "unreached people". My point (that obviously went over your head) is that places that are not included in the year's statistics are not "unreached".

  I think you should have another cup of coffee before you post.

  I went to Russia 5 years after the Wall fell and there were 10s of thousands of JWs.

  Although the official figures had nothing during the ban, they were alive and operating in Russia. The same may be said for China and other communist and Muslim countries.

  $25 isn't much for a premium plate. In my country we pay about $150 a year.

  Good Reasons To Hate Every Weak And Ex-Jehovah Witness.

  by AuntConnie in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  1. my husband's time is finite, it's wasted on spouses arguing over money, sex or family mattters with stupid home visits.. .

  i hate people's constant open hand for money, it's the weak individuals asking others to pull their weight.

  my family worked extra hours instead of begging the strong members for district assembly money, cat food for seven cats or tiny little rag-a-muffins weiner dogs.. .

  You certainly do.

  Trying to be a nicer person would be a good start.

  I dated and was engaged for a while as a JW, and the amount of people who put their 2 cents worth in where it's not welcome was astounding!

  I'm 43, female and happily single!

  If you go to a friends page and look at their friend listing that leads you to other folks you've been wondering about.

  Yes, I like that.
