  by mP in

  2. bible

  the bible presents him as humble with limit means.

  i always wondered how a man with a travelling companion of two like timothy managed to knnow or hear about all his churches.

  how exactly does the troubles of corinth manage to find paul when hes over in judea or maybe somewhere in what we call turkey ?

  Most JW's won't pick up on this. I have the feeling it was some awakened writer having a bit of fun.

  23,000 separate accusations of child molestation and you are trying to say only a "few" are ruining it?

  So I Went back to my old Kingdom Hall Today...

  by cofty in

  ...because it's now an art gallery.. it was really strange to have a look around the building and see what they have done with it.

  a lot of the old kh features are still there.

  they have kept the old platform, it gets used as a music venue on occasions.. i went up on the platform and faced the hall to bring back memories of the hundreds of times i stood there giving talks.. they have quite a few of the old chairs and the magazine/literature counter is still there but it has been moved beside the stage and painted.. all those huge windows have been restored and the place is full of light.. you can see a lot of pictures at their website, they have called it "the berwick watchtower".. the owner asked my wife and i if it was our first visit - hahaha.

  Julia, the form of torture in there was probably worse than what happened in those old prisons.

  That's hilarious that Tony Blair thinks atheists are some sort of a threat.

  Did you feel pushed into pioneering?

  by Xanthippe in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so i have been replying to letters from a jw friend who suddenly started writing to me after i've been out for nearly 25 years.. i have mentioned things like the poverty that pioneering causes from my own experience, worrying about having enough money to buy food.. i also said that the scrimping would have been worth it if we had been saving to buy a home or go on lovely holidays.. instead we ended up with nothing materially and we were living in a tiny rented flat when we left.. when i think of all the places i wanted to visit with my husband but couldn't because we were pioneering and had no money and now it is too late because my husband has died at the age of 54. we did get to visit some beautiful places but we ran out of time.. what i was trying to say to her was - life's too short.

  stop waiting for the new system, get on with your life.

  stop exhausting yourself in that religion.

  Definitely pressured into it and also pressured into not stopping... which is why I left cold turkey.

  What's Da Word On Weed, Mon?

  by metatron in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i come to this site as my one-stop-shopping guide to scandals and controversy within watchtowerland ( much of which is about as real as world of warcraft).

  i'm surprized i haven't read anything about marijuana and 'the truth".. weed is getting legalized all over the place and california, in particular, is loaded with whacked-out witnesses.

  since it can be prescribed as a medical treatment (here and there), i imagine the wts might have to do some doctrinal gymnastics to df folks for using it.

  Alcohol is also "mind-altering" as is caffeine. At least the Mormons are consistent in this.

  I think you can guarantee marijuana is in the "tobacco and other drugs" category

  A lot of this debate is pointless if you use math and look at the historical kings that ruled. The only way the WT can even justify their dates is by adding in a second Nabonidus.

  Let's Hate on TV

  perhaps, you're a fan of tv, perhaps, you're not.

  maybe, you like some aspects of it and not others.. my favorite tv hates are 'news', and commercials.

  i always mute the commercials.
