Welcome,

as i have written previously, i crashed a discussion between a young j-dub and his baptist workmate who were having.
a religious debate outside starbucks.
this was months ago.
Some young ones have that mentality, but most see it as the org been to restrictive. Am working with a young one in the congregation encouraging him to go to colleges after high school. He told me last weekend he regrets that he got baptized so young. So most of the young ones are going to give the GB the one finger salute and go to college.
@ the mavster welcome to the board, a lot of us taught that working meaningless jobs and pioneering was the way of life. But learning you been lied to for so many years makes you realize how much time you wasted. In reality you still have a lot life ahead of you go ahead and work towards something you enjoy doing.
in the article on the guardian ( http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/jul/14/jehovahs-witnesses-evangelism-church-god-armageddon ) mentioned in another thread, there's this quote of mark omalley, who is assigned to the public information desk at the jehovahs witness uk centre in north london.
we now have more than 165,000 [literature] carts on the streets in over 50 countries.
it gives us visibility and availability.
say you could go back in time to when you were 15 years old.
no watchtower in your life.
but the experience you have now you could keep.
the only thing I would change, is not get baptize.
omg...what a waste of a day.....my wife is in full cult mode.
we had one chair seperating us in the bleachers.
we did not talk on the way to and on the way from.
hello friends during the weekend i was in the san diego regional convention and the number of baptisim was way down.. there were 51 who got baptise thats the lowest number i ever seen, the attendance was 14,000 plus .
dear mr. morris,.
i am writing this letter to request that you have an immediate meeting with jehovah regarding the tight pants, spanx (i think you mean spandex) issues.
it it clear from your pants rant that jehovah has focused his attention away from the billions of people currently suffering on the planet to address this specific issue.. today i observed a group of witnesses in my neighborhood.
Hello Diana great letter.
Can you ask about Disneyland and bethel I live two hours away from Disneyland but feel bad going couse we should go to bethel instead see if he could bring the plane ticket prices down a notch Thanks.
if you had to pinpoint the time or experience that finally made you open your eyes, what would it be?.
i think for me it was the time i saw my dad shun his brother who he had not seen in decades just because he was a da'ed jw.
i thought to my self "no way jesus would do that.
mine was 1000 years to beacome perfect never made since to me so people are going to see 7 billion people die in the big A and not suffer from extrem PTSD.
especially when so many suffer from mental disorders in the Cong.
so this weekend there was a part about not following jesus at a distance.
the speaker made a big point of stating that any baptized jw male who was not either appointed ms/elder, or at the very least "reaching out" actively, was in fact following jesus at a distance.
he said that the only way to live through the big a was to follow jesus closely.
it is so nice to see jehovah cares so much about the birds and not the millions of kids that die of hunger O wait that's prophecy so that's okay. Turds
you get treated better working at McDonald's that you do in the congregation.
