for those of you who left family and friends and had to start over from scratch just to get out of the organization, was it worth it?.
.
To feel like its ok to have a personal relationship with God and HE can guide me and HE can comfort me and HE can tell me what's right and what's wrong and how to live my life instead of a dozen or so old guys in Brooklyn telling ME what God thinks?
It is absolutely worth it to me!!!!!
the awake!
january 1 1989 contains the quote on page 12 "he was laying a foundation for a work that would be completed in our 20th century.
" this was later changed in the bound volume and on the cd library to "in our day.".
One of my favorites! I brought this up in my very first post. Y-not pasted a scan of the actual Watchtower. Here it is:
over the next 5 weeks, we should have 5 or 6 articles/posts that will provide more commentary on the march 15, 2015 watchtower.

Marked! Thanks!
i have a feeling i am going to have to explain to my jw folks why i have decided to allow my children to participate in holidays at school.
theyll probably be wondering too why i will get together with our non jw family for the holidays.. .
we know jws avoid holidays because of their pagan origins.
Lipstick used to symbolize whether a prostitute was willing to perform oral sex
Jamie: Did lipstick mean the woman would be willing to perform oral sex, or that she wouldn't? I can see it both ways. If she was willing, she had her lips greased up for the task, but if it meant she wasn't willing, I guess its because she wouldn't want to smear her lipstick.
Just wondering.

police: woman fatally shot husband after dispute.
bridgeport - police in bridgeport say they are investigating a deadly shooting that apparently stemmed from a domestic dispute.. the bridgeport police crime scene unit says a homicide occurred at the kingdom hall of jehovah's witnesses, located at 245 huntington turnpike, at around 1:20 a.m. sunday.. police say 36-year-old griselle pizarro, of bridgeport, fatally shot her husband, jacob lopez, in a pickup truck parked outside the hall after he reportedly assaulted her.. more: connecticut crime coverage.
Are either one of these people a Witness? It happened at 1:20am, so it could just be a couple from the neighborhood who pulled into the parking lot for an argument.
i could have sworn that i heard or read about a special bethel family meeting before the annual meeting.
has anyone heard or seen this?

If you were to ask each of them, they would have said Armageddon was just around the corner, and would happen in their lifetime. Many thought it would happen within the next year of when this picture was taken. Sadly, they're all dead now. At least I would say its safe to assume.
BTW: Celebrating Christmas just 8 years after being inspected by Jesus and being found worthy, just seems odd, doesn't it?
this letter was sent as an addendum to the elders regarding their latest elders textbook.
i think you'll find this interesting and also disconcerting as well.. to all bodies of elders.
re: spiral binding of shepherding textbook.
The last letter is fake. But it is hilarious!!
this is what wt has been producing, this had my bottom jaw on the carpet while i was watching (like the footloose one).
and they say there different from other religions yeah right!!.
i hope this link works https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vahglagd2i.
AMAZING!! I have sat in that assembly hall too many times to count, and could never imagine ANYTHING like that going on there!!
BTW: The Assembly Hall in Indianapolis is a very beautiful building. There was a fire there in the mid 80's so they were able to do some remodeling (The Hall is a historical site which prevents them from doing too many changes). There used to be a lot of granite throughout the lobby. It has since been carpeted over, but it is really a beautiful building inside and out. Its for sale too.
as the regional convention ended in indianapolis, mark sanderson invited all the international delegates to come out onto the field for the final song.
as they walked out, they all held a white handkerchief aloft as they waved.
some in the audience waved a white cloth in return.
I live in Indianapolis and didn't even know they were having a convention here...... I guess I'm officially out of touch.
