  In your opinion: What would a teacher of the English language say about the way Anthony Morris III speaks?

  by LogCon in

  considering the language, wording and grammar of anthony morris iii, if a teacher on the english language, at a prestigious university were to analyze anthony's public speaking, what comments and conclusions would they come to?

  i say public speaking, because i would assume that an individual would be more careful with their words when spoken in public, than in private.

  serious comments would be appreciated, however, i realize that outlaw and a few others are probably on a page of their own.. .

  For me the real kicker was that old rubber face Lett was the first GB to give his "welcome" and with arms flinging about ...give his momentous talk! hahahah biggest mistake they ever made was to take those dopes out of hiding!

  i took a quick trip to the store and i happened to see a young man (about 26-28 years old) who got baptized about the same time i was leaving- about 2 years ago.

  a couple of pioneer sisters found him in the door to door work.

  one of them, a very attractive girl.

  my father served in the second world war.

  he served in the south pacific.

  he loved his time in the military and my mother was more than supporting.

  No one really knows.......so feel your emotions & think your own thoughts, they are as correct as anyone else's.

  Compassion & hugs to all here who are so painfully grieving right now.

  Somehow this quote helps me, thanks Adjusted for posting it.

  "I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it.”

  having a dark night of the soul

  i'm writing this here because i need someone to talk to, and you're the only folks i know who will understand.

  most of the time i think i'm a pretty happy and together person, but lately, i'll see something that reminds me of my family and i'll spontaneously start crying.

  i miss them so much and my heart keeps breaking, and even though i have kind people i work and volunteer with, i feel so incredibly lonely sometimes.

  Dear Miss.... sorry about your situation, I know it hurts so bad. Most exjw have been or are there too. Try to see the healing process as steps you are climbing........some steps are really high and broken but keep struggling upward ....you will reach the top where your life becomes normal. There is always the hope of family waking-up as wt gets more crazy & is exposed for the haters they have become.

  Steve thanks for posting this......."Everything's been covered!". Except the abuse.

  Yes, "everything" and nothing - nothing about addressing the actual reasons people left in the first place.

  A lovely, white-washed invitation that demonstrates how widespread the denial is in "Jehovah's" organization.

  JWs - how easily the talk about love - how seldom they follow it with action. "

  Many times my mind gets stuck on their statements and critical thinking fails to show up .......... almost like my brain doesn't shift gears. Anyway thanks for those marvelous words......clarity

  I saw Jehovah's hand at work this week

  ok, before i get flamed, the title does have sarcasm built in.

  at the same time, i can not ignore the line of events as they occurred this past couple of weeks.

  while this has not made any of my relatives make any sudden changes, i believe it has put at least my wife to think.. we had a family event this past weekend in a nearby town.

  Chris ......sorry for your awful predicament.......you do have our compassion dear. Try to keep your mind calm to keep your panic down. hang on to that bit of money. Maybe offer to wash dishes/sweep up in a restaurant to pay for a good breakfast. Make sure to drink as much water as you can .....a dehydrated brain cannot think.

  Newspaper article: 'Rise of ISIS and earthquakes are WARNINGS before ARMAGEDDON destroys Earth'

  http://www.express.co.uk/news/nature/581439/rise-isis-earthquakes-warnings-before-armageddon-apocalypse-end-destroys-volcanoes-earth.

  the "end" of mankind, which has been long predicted by jehovah's witnesses, could happen as soon as this year - according to latest announcement from the christian religion.. in the latest edition of jehovah's witnesses monthly publication watchtower, an article translated into 700 languages - urges people to join the religion or face certain death when god sends his forces from the heavens to "remove all world leaders," "exterminate his enemies" and "rid the world of satan".. critics have lambasted the warning of a coming armageddon as yet another "failed prediction" by the religion, which has previously delivered similar alerts such as a foretold apocalypse in 1975.. indeed, jehovah's witnesses have been warning people of the need to recognise jehovah or face certain death when the "end" comes for more than 100 years.. the christian-based religion was founded in the 1870s by charles taze russell in pittsburgh, pennsylvania, us, as an offshoot from the bible studies movement.. today, there are 8.2million jehovah's witness evangelists, while 19.9 million celebrated their annual memorial festival marking christ's death - worldwide in 2014.. followers do not believe in military service and will not accept blood transfusions.. in a new eight-page article, watchtower said jehovah's witness leaders are now "convinced" humans are in their "final days" before the armageddon.. they cite an increase in global armed conflict, such as the rise of the islamic state terror group, as well as natural disasters such as volcanoes and earthquakes.. the lengthy article, written by an unnamed author, said: "will god let humans continue to dominate one another and threaten the future of mankind?

  no, as we have seen, he will step in and bring an end to centuries of misery and oppression.

  when it finally clicked,.

  and you realized there was no 1914, there was no generation that would see the end of a wicked system, there was no paradise around the corner, .

  what went through you mind?.

  Waking up at a young age gives a wonderful opportunity to have many many decades ahead to really live. But we never know for sure.

  Someone who is 22 may die at 29. An older person at 72 may live happily to 95. So the young one only had 7 years to live while the elderly one lived 23 years.

  The point being, that life is in the minutes. Not worrying about the chunks of time ahead but being fully present in the NOW.

  Btw, I can say this as a person who has lived in 10 decades and still working, still planning, still growing .... and still feeling compassion for people. There is huge compassion & love throughout this thread that is so life confirming.........
