  i just stumbled across this and was flabbergasted it is from the november 1982 km.

  " doing good to those with special needs ".

  4 it is not unusual for those who are themselves in need to be among the first to respond to the needs of others.

  You know LITS - those stupid articles and talks on pioneering really had me going. I really believed that it was the only way to get through life's challenges. I even thought that if I stopped pioneering that any issues I or my family had would become worse...

  Watchtower really did a number on me.

  YouTube: Jehovah's Witnesses: Forever

  i enjoyed this video, by an ex-jw.

  it reminds me of all the people that many of us had to leave behind to break free of the wt.

  i remain hopeful that many will continue to awaken and abandon the apocalyptic culture.

  I've had a couple of family members refer to me as apostate. I gladly accept the title. Not only does it mean that I'm finally awake and alive, it also means that I understand the meaning of the word. JWs can never truly make such statements.

  Good post MIB.

  I remember reading one of Stephen Covey's books years ago and remembering how little is accomplished by the Witnesses.

  What would it take for the JWs to spell "Jehovah's Witness" correctly on Facebook?!?

  2. friends

  i mean, come on.. it's a damn religion that you would die for.. you call yourself a "minister".. and i bet you believe that you could debate like, a harvard-educated theologian under the table or something.... .

  so, jwn-ers, how many "jehova witness", "jehova witneses", or "jehovas' witness"es are you friends with on fb?.

  any other unique spellings i missed?.

  CO talked out of both sides of his mouth

  by life is to short in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  today was the last day of the co's visit, my husband stayed home from the meeting and we painted the house together which was good, but he wanted to tie into the meeting, i was ok with it as it allows me to point out the stupid parts of this religion.

  there were many things that made no sense but one that truly stuck out.. in his talk the co went on about how there are so many things satan uses to distract us from jehovah and one of them was fear of our future and how some work all their lives for retirement, many at jobs they hate.

  people do not enjoy the here and now all out of fear for what will happen when they grow old.

  The funny thing to was the way he talked about celebrating the birth of the great, great, great grand kid was like it was a birthday party.

  Yeah I was thinking about that too. It's kind of like how they criticize people in mcmansions for working so hard in this system. But of course in the new system, after the owner has been destroyed, "That will be my house!"

  So we can't celebrate birthdays and life now, but in the new system, thousands of years from now, it will be a-okay. Whatever.

  Yes GLTirebiter - Evidently in the new system kids can celebrate their B-days... ROFL.

  Yes this is really good for those lurkers still in. If you haven't been able to look at the Watchtower study with a critical and open mind, this helps tremendously.

  And although I'm out, I enjoy reading the recaps to get ideas to toss at my family from time to time.

  Blondie's coverage of the Watchtower lessons are
