  well it's that time of year again and the invitations to another pointless memorial aka reject jesus party is now in full swing.

  even though it's only the first day i'm already more than sick of it!

  this is the first year i am fully mentally awake for the memorial season, and honestly i'm so sick of it all!

  What are the levels/ranks within the Jehovah's Witnesses

  by biometrics in

  growing up as jw it was constantly drummed into us that we're not like churches having different classes (e.g.

  preists).

  however it is quite apparent that there are ranks within the jehovah's witnesses.. this is the list i have so far.

  Black sheep, interesting indeed. What was the other group of people that recently got their sanity in doubt? Are there any similarities between these groups?

  Very fine list, but what I think is missing is annointed, I simply do not know where to place it.

  And after insertion of anointed the list should continue

  Let's get this PERFECTION thing out into the open

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  perfection implies two things: a purpose and a tool for the purpose.. the fork, by itself, is neither perfect nor imperfect.. a fork is perfect for eating peas but imperfect for eating soup.

  the purpose and the tool must match.. people are not, of themselves, imperfect.

  they are suited for or not suited for particular purposes.. .

  Terry, yes it did

  We can agree that perfect is not perfect, or as you say it's relative. The paradoxe here is ofcourse that perfect should be perfect and stable in same way as the truth should always be true. But it is really, just relative.

  Terry, interesting thouhgts. This perfection thing is really my main issue on personal level. I do not plan to be perfect. If what you say here would be accepted by society I should be running back there and quickly.

  But I would like to comment your tennis shoes.

  You state that they are perfect for playing tennis but not perfect for wedding. Who defines that, if the user defines that wow I really like these, they fit my feet and feel that they are perfect to wedding, why would be that more wrong than the other guests in the wedding critisizing his decision. Is is possible that at the same time the tennis shoes are perfect for wedding, for this person who gets immense joy of wearing them, but is as you state totally imperfect for those other people who can't stand seeing that leisurly shoes in wedding context and cannot share the joy of the one using those tennis shoes.

  Are You A Screwed Up Adult Because You Were A Witness?

  or did it not matter that you were ever a witness---you're a bit screwy, anyway?.

  Well yes and no. I have my issues but not really because I was a witness, but because it didn't suit me and I couldn't follow the path. If I would have been successfull in pursuing full-scale witness life I guess I would be ok.
