  it is rare to get such a startling, sparkling, perfect example of this.. here is a snippet of a conversion going on at jwtalk.net regarding israel/gaza:.

  Yes, there is a flaw in this reasoning. You know, part of me wants to fix this, but, that's just the male in me.

  WT Armageddon Logic

  by Ding in

  in doing some research, i recently ran across a september 1, 2000 wt article that contained a brother's testimony about his years of service in the organization.. he said, "as we arrived for the meeting one sunday in 1938, two elderly sisters greeted us, and one said: `young brother, have you taken your stand for jehovah yet?

  you know, armageddon is just around the corner!

  ' i knew that jehovah is the only true god, and i was convinced that this is his organization.

  Hubby's tempted to go back

  today he kept bumping in to (or rather dodging and weaving from) fellow witnesses.

  he's talking about returning but can't figure out a way to do it without enduring a fair amount of humiliation.

  i did not panic.

  Two hours wasn't really needed to tell that story. It's horrible that young females were forced into marriages and abused for so long. But when you talk to a Mormon group today, they'll tell you that they were not from that group. That was a splinter group.

  Blondie,

  My how things have changed. I can remember going to Circuit Assemblies, and a orchestra of musicians were organized by the brothers. I remember them welcoming volunteers. Then all of a sudden, learning to become a musician became unimportant. This organization hasn't improved during the last 50+ years. I was saddened that my favourite song didn't survived through on the last Kigdom melody changes.

  For one thing, there was a nasty Lawsuit launched by the Bees. They didn't appreciate us singing about molesting Bees. Then there was this change in contribution arrangement. So, we can't take Life's water free, anymore. The tune to Shulamite Maiden was kept, but, the Shulamite maiden was misunderstood for a reason for sisters to buy more shoes.

  has anyone heard of jehovah's witnesses praying for the christians and non christians in the middle east and western asia during the slaughter of islamic radicals?

  how many prayers did/have you heard for non jws while attending the kingdom hall?

  the prayer for the city council man or woman to grant their permit to build a kingdom hall or assembly hall?

  Honestly, I really can't say if they did or not. When I hear a GB member give a prayer at a assembly, they go on so long. I usually lose myself in the moment and my thoughts tend to drift away. My reality tends to travel back to my brain when I hear the word, "Amen". Then, I join the applause to thank the person for finally running out of breath. Others may aplaud for different reasons
