i don't really care to download it and review it and see how it's the same old same old - but i do like to read up on others doing it here.
:) i'm a lazy leach like that.. so - get to it guys.. www.jw.org.
edit: haha- i said 2001 in the title - meant 2011.
One more comment on the stupid ring picture:
The size of that rock is not random. From what I see, this is a solid 2 1/2 to 3 carat princess, which is no less than 10 Grand..
And the faithful sister turns it down! And she goes on to marry a broke abusive janitor....
No wonder these stupid pictures can appeal to prescoolers, at best...

the new study watchtower page 9 explains how sisters should be happy to be servants to their elder husbands.. "co-operate in financial matters".
"joyful to see her husband active in the congregation".
if he makes a decision you disagree with "she displays a quiet and mild spirit and cooperates with him to make his decision work".
AnnOMaly,
LOL, how this 3rd bullet point can easily be taken out of context nowadays...
perhaps this is the wrong place to post such a question, but, is anyone aware of any criticism of the new world translation as rendered into other languages, say, spanish, portuguese, french?.
if you open a non-english version of the nwt, you find that they very clearly say you're holding a translation from english into whatever the target language is, only "checking against the hebrew and greek originals".
this is to say, there is a pecking order that begins with the translation from the original languages into english, and then another, from english into all others.
Further to Leo's post, I can attest the missing brackets in the Bulgarian translation...
i'm gonna debut my rap song on here for you guys to 'bob' your heads.
now, i know what your thinking...i dont like rap music joliette.
i dont listen to that kinda music.
How gangsta are you goin?
i'm sure texas isn't much different from any other state.. we want clean air.
so, the auto manufacturers came up with a glorified box of charcoal that "filters" out the pollutants (simultaneously making the energy output less efficient requiring yet more fuel) called a catalytic converter.. most cars' converter lasts about 10 years.. .
i'm driving a honda accord from 1998. the coverter has given up the ghost and i don't pass the nox tests.. so.... i can't renew my registration and have to spend about $1700 to replace that stupid box of charcoal.. .
I'd go with undercover's suggestion. You should be able to find a relatively new converter from a busted couple-year old accord. It is also a part, that I believe would be less likely to have compatibility issues - it's a damn box full of charcoal.
Good luck!
i have been lurking on this site and others for a couple of years now, and i feel it is time to step out and say "hello!
" when i first began investigating my beliefs, it was innocent enough.
i had been reading an article on scientology, thinking; "wow, these people are just plain nuts!!!
AD, a big warm WELCOME! (my third welcoming a new member today!!! - yipeeeee, keep it up peoples )
I feel for you and the tough place you are in!
There is a poster here (Mad Sweeney), who had used the family study night to study the Bible and only the Bible and it had helped his wife see the light. This is only a paraphrased account (Mad, I hope you don't mind), but anything could trigger the reasoning in your wife's head...Or so we hope!
I second the suggestion of reading Steve Hassan's "Combatting Mind Control"
Wish you the best, hang in there and hopefully you will be posting better news soon!

Yelllow!
Glad you found us here. Congrats on your Awake... (ahem) Awakening!
Tell us more about yourself and what drove you out of the borg.
-Yan
.
shame on you for looking....lol.
.
I fell for it. Call me a pervert
i am new to this but, for years, i was already out.
don't know where to start.
as i have read the many posting, i'm not alone in my feelings.
Welcome to the board!
Sorry to hear that your exit comes with such hefty emotional baggage. You should not have been treated this way!
At least now, you can focus on getting your children out of it and living a dub-free life.
Congratulations on your awakening, as painful as it may have been!

with the ensuing unrest in north africa and the middle east, i wonder if some "zealous" brothers and sisters are saying: "this is it!!!"..
didn't armageddon suppose to start in the mideast?
isn't the unrest moving closer and closer to israel?
With the ensuing unrest in North Africa and the Middle East, I wonder if some "zealous" brothers and sisters are saying: "This is IT!!!".
Didn't Armageddon suppose to start in the MidEast? Isn't the unrest moving closer and closer to Israel? Tunisia, then Egypt and now Jordan?
Hell, all we need is Syria to join (sister Yknot, how is the political climate in Syria :-) and we have Israel completely landlocked in commotion...
I, thank God, am not amongst active dubs, but has anyone heard JW comments regarding the situation?
