We are so close that I no longer buy green bananas.
That made me laugh out loud. I hope I get the chance to say that to someone.

less than seven years remain before we see january 1, 2015. what will the watchtower's message be then?.
how can they explain to the flock that jesus christ is now ruling in his 101st year?.

What do you feel is the reason the WTS succeeds in retaining its members?
by RULES & REGULATIONS inmost of my family have been members since the early 1970's.they attend 3 meetings per week,fly or drive to summer assemblies,preach the average 10 hours per month,and read the same boring watchtower magazine week after week.
the congregation has lost nearly all the young teens,many have quit attending all the meetings,some divorced,and some members just going thru the motions.
i'm never going to question them on why they still remain members but shouldn't all the promises of "this generation never dying" make them question the wts.... just a little?

One time I asked my dad.."But what if you're wrong?"
He said, "I can't be wrong! If I was wrong, it would mean I wasted over 40yr of my life! I can't be wrong!"

So, does she think that crushing the plastic cartridge would kill or disable the demon?
Maybe the demon exited the cartridge and entered her shoe.

That would mean it entered her sole/soul right? lisa

Ooooo I found a little snake on the back porch and saved it in a jar until my granddaughter could come over and see it. We didn't touch it. Just looked at it and let it go far away from the house.
I just watched a spider catch a bug on the back porch. Then the dog barked and the spider ran away and the bug got free. It was a good day for the bug, And I hope the spider gets to eat.

How to not get disfellowshipped even though you do not believe anymore
by BonaFide inthis has been working for me well in talking with family and friends about "the truth.".
1. before you bring up a topic, talk about how we are allowed to ask questions, and we are encouraged to do so.
i have tried saying, "one thing i like about the organization is that it encourages us to use our minds, and we don't get into trouble for asking questions, the organization loves questions like the ancient bereans did.. 2. always phrase things in the form of a question.

I had left years ago and just accepted that I would die. Yep, that it, just one day, it would be all over.
So I made the most of the time I had left.
Then I found JWD, and I felt like I was Eve and I had eaten the fruit.

I remember already being depressed, going to the meeting for some kind of reasurance and suport, ..... and being treated with this kind of cruelty,..... by the people I thought would care about me the most.
Sorry you're having to go though this.
