  There were 6 XElders in my cong. One was removed twice, and he still is reaching out. Another guy, is reaching out, and has been used in some capacity, but was never reappointed. There has got to be something behind that story, but, it happened after my time as an Elder.

  This gives me flashbacks of the 60's, BOTR. I remember seeing them on the Ed Sullivan show, too. The Beatles helped me to cope during my younger years. By the way, you are two years older than me, and of course wiser.

  I remember when society judged their songs as an encouragment to do drugs. They were missunderstood by many but their music has survived many decades and are now classics.

  I've heard those words expressed between family members who have gone different paths. But, then 5 years later they are forgotten, and the new circumstances have all been worked out. It all depends on the reason for separation. Schooling only lasts for a few years. Soon after your freind dispises you for having the guts to make an important decision in your life that will benefit you in the long run.

  Four Questions Logical JW's Can't Answer

  by Suspicious in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  here are 4 simple questions most jw's (even elders) cannot logically answer.. .

  1)if jw's are to completely stay away from all forms of demonism, why do many jw's watch magical disney movies?.

  * watching magic/demonism is not a matter of conscience.. * there is no gray area when it comes to magic.

  There are more than 4 questions that you could ask a JW, that they would have a hard time replying to.

  Well, Long Term Care Facilities are necessary. They also need to make a profit, otherwise, they will fail and the residents will have to seek care elsewhere. It's good that such facilities exist because some elderly ones feel unconfortable in Homes that feature holidays that are not practiced by JW's. The pricing $3,000. per month is about average for this type of arrangement.

  In Canada the JW LTC's can't discriminate and only accept JW's. This would be discriminatory, and would violate goverment legislation.

  There Is No Key To Happiness!

  by abiather in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  religions make it appear that there is a key to happiness and give the impression that they have the key, and enjoy people always look to them for happiness!.

  interestingly, jesus meant there is no key to happiness, but it is the very nature of all human beings.

  (luke 17:21) people like jws did not even translate this verse properly.
