  A roaring current of change.... Is The Watchtower in the process of a major overhaul of their religion?

  a roaring current of change..... what is going on at the world headquarters of jehovah's witnesses?

  in the last couple of years unprecedented changes in policy, procedure, and doctrine have been coming forth in rapid fire sequence.

  this uninterrupted episode of new information is beginning to backfire for the rank and file witnesses.

  So me, of all people, had a religious experience

  i was sitting in my garage, as i often do, to chill out and i actually ended up becoming angry.. so here i am, in my garage, kicking it on the stool for the drum set that is in there (i am a pianist/composer, not a drummer).

  i start to think about all the crazy stuff that transpires on this planet.

  we have all seen shows and heard stories or maybe even witnessed events that don't add up.

  The boy is teething pretty bad right now and I am focused on helping the wife.

  Brings back memories, from when my first son was teething 34 years ago. This too shall pass, Sab, and one day you will get some sleep again.

  Thanks, Curtains. Never any offense taken.

  I've just come across a new thread that illustrates well some of the dynamic that has been going on in this one. The video is rather long, and the intellectual trouncing the two women mete out to their critic will cause some to squirm, but still well worth the viewing.

  I particularly like the question: "What are the statistical odds that determine a miracle?" Priceless.

  There's an ongoing thread that fits well into the example you're providing, whereami. Excellent example! Thank you for posting.

  An update on the wife

  i just wanted to let you all know that my wife is feeling great after receiving her kidney transplant last week.

  her labs immediately started coming into line as soon as the organ was attached and as of now are almost completely normal.

  she's obviously having a little pain and soreness from the huge incision they made but overall she's feeling wonderful.

  Fabulous outcome, sooner. Modern medicine is a wonderful thing.

  Absolutely right, blondie.

  jwfacts.com, incidentally, reports membership declines in 1977 also. Three consecutive years of declines after several consecutive years of fairly large increases.

  You obviously haven't been around very long. If you knew me (I've been posting four years),

  Why do some people around here think seniority is the same as intelligence?

  Chill, man.

  edit: I know exactly what sabastious is describing. Reread this entire thread, post by post. Look at yourself and how you talk about and to those that support what we KNOW sabastious experienced.

  You just know. Yes, I realise that. The nineteen guys who took all those lives just knew they were right, too. Faith, like that, is what makes this world evil.

  By suppressing your emotions you are constantly having to deal with their possible outbreak. Ironically that process takes more mental power than just taking the emotion out and dealing with it.

  You are absolutely correct, Sab.
