what are my options?
i have recently found out that someone close to me is receiving medicaid and in the process of getting food stamps.
this is so unfair and annoying.
OMG Farkel...GO AWAY!!! ... Report major crime for sure and where people are being hurt...BUT for the most part don't become a 'Nazi-snitch'.

(hebrews 10:24,25 ) " and let us consider one another to incite to love and fine works, not forsaking the gathering of ourselves together--".
have you ever remarked that these scriptures do not say anything about teaching or instructing?
thats because such is the work of gods holy spirit.
Ok great...but it will only make a difference to those who are informed and except these real 'truths'. Yes all these are man made up rules...but when 'in' we agree to follow them, why? Because we thought they were necessary. There will always be those who will exploit the weak and unknowing. They become wicked when they know what they are doing is wrong.

'Joel...G' that's right...I forgot about the adam-eve theory, was it ever in print? I very much remember this being the thought now, I just don't recall if it was in print. I was 20 in 75 and many from our cong left shortly after. I would love to have the time 'taken' given back...( knowledge is power...it is our right to have all available information so we can make an informed decision...not one made for us!!!

has anyone been df'd for visiting and/or posting to this site?
has anyone been df'd for visiting jwfacts or freeminds?.
I know i am getting old...and forget things from time to time, but can someone point me to the scripture (s) that can be used to DF you for this?
When I first seen things like this being done to the friends my eyes were opened up to hypocrisy in the org. That's when I knew something was really wrong.

what if the elders tracked you down and show up at your house to inform you of wrong doing and the action they will take.. what if the elders destroyed your family and now they stand before you smiling with the bible in their hand.. i know my reaction.... it would not be pretty... the police would be at my house very shortly.. do they really believe jah would protect them from those they wronged?
i am not a violent man..... but this is like rubbing your nose in the very pain they caused.. i say this because..... i sense something is in the mix.. my lawyer gave some info because of a legal matter and if i know these bastards.......... they better think twice....
I like how 'DEXTER' handles problems...

dear friends,.
the first song for this week's watchtower study is song #46. it's an old "familiar" one (song #33 in the "sing praises to jehovah" songbook) - of course with new words.
and since it starts out so familiar we at our meeting today sang it from the bottom of our hearts - just as we used to.
OMG...can we get together in groups and practice together?...unsupervised? How about not screwing up the songs in the first place then we would not have to worry about not being able to sing along!!!

example: gravity is real.
because if 607 bce is wrong, then so is 1914 and 1918 and 1919. very simple.
so if we cannot trust secular research, then we can definitely discard the date of 607 bce.
nicely stated...
this topic was inspired by another recent thread started by ak jeff.
the excerpt below is from the book "people of the lie", by the late m. scott peck, who also authored the best-seller "the road less traveled.
" "people of the lie" is about the nature of evil, and dashed all my previously held notions about what evil was.. you would do yourself a favor if your attention span is long enough to take the time to read this, because as you do, i want you to relate what is being said directly to the leaders of the watchtower society, past and present.
Good read...
To ALJeff , I have to say what you state is for me 'right-on'. They have throughout the years said this exact thing 'they are the chosen ones' so we must be with them and follow them to receive the blessings (correct understanding, survival, etc...). So following them even though they may be wrong, will not be counted against us, because they will be held accountable...This may be ok in areas of your like where there is no imminent threat but when there is--- their personal opinions mean nothing…it’s up to you to decide what is best.
And the bible says:
Judgment Day of Personal Accountability. Pre-Christian Hebrews were acquainted with the idea that God would hold them personally accountable for their conduct. (Ec 11:9; 12:14) The Christian Greek Scriptures explain that there will be a specific future period, or “day,” when mankind, both the living and those who died in the past, will individually be judged.—2Ti 4:1, 2.
So someone is not telling the "whole truth"!!! I wonder who that is?
