"in 1921, before most of us were born, a remarkable study began tracking the loves and lives of 1500 americans from childhood to death.
the study continues even today, with research teams led by howard friedman still keeping tabs on the remaining few who are still alive and analyzing massive amounts of data to establish what it is precisely that led some to stay well and others to fall ill or die before their time.. > .

It is a myth that married people, joggers, pet owners, and religious people will live longer.
Strangely enough Dr, Friedman's analysis shows two very important findings:
# 1. A gloomy 'chicken little' outlook - the sky is falling, the sky is falling,
where every war or crime or earthquake or flood is a sign of the end -
that kind of catastrophic mind set will shorten your life.
# 2. Being isolated from family and friends for what ever reason,
will shorten your life ... even quicker!
These are not myths, but two surefire circumstances according to the results of what the eight decades of study show!
Both of these are actually front and centre of jehovah's witnesses life, and will cause continuous fear and great insecurity that will prematurely shorten your life.

Do Active Witnesses Find Meetings Exciting?
by Band on the Run inkh meetings were utter hell.
the boredom, particularly for a child, was awful.
i feel it was a form of child abuse.

Oh yeah, especially the circuit assembly on the week-end. I would try so hard to take the browbeating counsel to heart, & felt so bad for not doing more & more, but still was getting excited!
But, let me tell you, getting home and pulling off those damn pantyhose & tossing the bra, I was beyond excited, grabbing an old shirt and running out into the sunshine...YEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS!!!
I was excited out there watering that garden, finally up off my arse & hearing the sound of birds singing instead of old brother droneon&on. Oh yeah just heavenly and put it all out of my head until............................................next time.

The "WOW!!" moment...Theocratic Ministry School was a sham!
by Terry ini just remembered something from long ago..... i moved to california in 1974 after i had been in "the truth" for 11 years, having full-time pioneered and also having served time in federal prison over the so-called christian neutrality issue.. i felt completely confident that my bible education was the best on planet earth.
i had honed my skills by door to door preaching, discussion, arguments and attendance at the theocratic ministry school.. i began working as an artist in a huge company that manufactured all kinds of art, sculpture and wall hanging.
the head of the artists was a wonderful young man, skilled artist and devout christian who took me under his wing.

Terry,
I think most of us were tape recorders with legs lol.
Eighteen months ago when the lite went on for me ... something as simple as the way jw's study, blew my mind.
I critically said to my brother, "...geez they're giving you all the answers right in the paragraph......."
Only this time my eyes flew open and I saw for the first time that they also give you the Questions!!
Love your stuff Terry

How much do you truly believe you would enjoy living in a perfect world? Paradise...
by stillstuckcruz inwhat sort of conversations could you have in a perfect world?
i have a hard enough time creating conversation in this world.
when i need a conversation topic, i might mention a news story, or some problem such as the price of gas.

"Satan: "What do you mean by the last rule?"
Dad: "Well, since sex is only for procreation, we can only have sex to procreate. To ensure that this happens, all sex must be performed in the presence of a Judicial Committee and any sexual position or foreplay not approved by the Governing Body will result in death. By stoning. The Committee grades the sex on the "Publishers Sexual Report Card. 'G' is for Good, 'N' is for Need to Improve, and 'W' is for Weird. Anyone who gets a 'W' is stoned to death."
Satan: "How would one get a "need to improve'' grade.?"
Dad: "By making the sex last longer than 2 minutes. Ten 'N's" within 1,000 years and you're dead. If we can get it down to 45 seconds, we get a 'G', though".
Satan: "What must one do to get a "W" or 'Weird' grade?"
Dad: "Lots of things: moaning, calling out for God, saying "yes, YES, YES", and any position other than "missionary style" will all result in punishment. Every sexual act is recorded on video and put into the publisher's permanent record. Two 'W's" and you're dead."
Satan: "Wow. That's pretty intense. Are you happy living in Paradise?"
