i recently married my best friend of 32 years.
she is a life-long jw and once an active pioneer, i am a 'worldly' person through-and-through, always will be.
we married because it was the only way we could find a way of staying together while giving her a path back to her religion ultimately, which she does not want to (or cannot) let go of.
Hello Wilty.
When all is said and done, it all depends on the body of Elders. It's a waiting game and we can't predict the outcome.
I hope your marriage will remain happy.
Just be aware you will be pressured to join the fake religion because the leaders want your money.
i wonder what this earth will really be like in 500 years from now?.
what are your thoughts?.

hello, folks: about a month ago, stan livedeath started a post about.
how many of the readers here on the site have been or are now being shunned by friends/relatives?
well, let's turn that around a little bit: how many of the readers here have purposely shunned a witness, when they encountered them?
I find the best way for me is to go about my business as usual. If Jobots want to shun me then I don't care. It's their loss in missing out on my ebullient and marvellous wisdom of years.
I don't think tit for tat works.
Some Jobots know my situation and still say, 'Hello.'
Let's just get on with life and forget all this tribal nonsense.
Yes, I loathe the Organisation(tm) because they are grifting perverts, but in my daily life I don't give it much thought.
The world is full of idiots and scum. Let's just rise above these dimwits.
i wonder if real book titles should be entitled according to our opinions?.
eg.. plato's republic.
i'd call it: some geezer in a toga mincing around a pond talking idealistic nonsense.
Your Youth. Getting the best out of it.
Do lots of door knocking and don't masturbate

on halloween night, police arrested two people who were dressed up individually as a battery and a firework rocket.
they charged one and let the other off.. police in london are investigating the theft of dogs throughout the city.. they don't have any leads.. i found a large box filled with kodak 35 mm camera film, and handed it in to the police.. they said they'd let me know if there were any developments.. police recovered a valuable stolen microscope.. they say they're looking into it.. yorkshire police can't establish what's wrong with the sat-navs in their new fleet of squad cars.. they're still looking for leeds.. police are investigating the theft of a perpetual motion device.
they say it's an ongoing inquiry.. the old ones are the best!
Stan - the majority of readers on here are American--so don't get the jokes.
There is a bit of a comedic divide. That's perhaps why I don't find American comedy shows or films (Ooops, movies as the Americans call them), particularly engaging.
I find 'Friends' to be a snorefest of unfunny clowning around.
On the other hand, I like the wit of George Carlin. Perhaps becasue I see it as more observant than clowning around.
I don't believe our cousins across the water quite get or perhaps appreciate 'British banter'. They think we're being mean...........I could be wrong. I'd love to be wrong. Then I can be more sarcastic here.

supposedly, god jehovah, el , or whatever else he may have been called many thousands of years ago, or so the storys goes ,dealt with humans on a regular basis communicating with them for either good or bad.according to how they pleased him or displeased him.. so the bible record says.. how is it that god , jehovah or whatever other name you want to call him has not communicated with humans on any level for the past 2000 years ???.
in this scientific ,technological age ,wouldn`t you think this would be the time he would communicate with the potential dangers we face in potentially destroying ourselves and ruining the planets wildlife unless he interveined ?.
that`s if you even beleive that such a god actually exists .. and if he does why so silent in this day and age,?.
winger - It's such a simple solution....
God is either indifferent, incompetent or doesn't exist.
...and doesn't exist despite hoodwinked people trying to believe all that Bible nonsense into existence. To think, I used to believe all that stuff until I started to be honest and decide that an inconvenient truth is better than wilful ignorance.
on their website in the video "organizational accomplishments" watchtower devotes this segment to praising the superiority of the new world translation.
about half way through, david splane relates the reason for a change in wording from the old 1984 nwt reference bible to the 2013 revised nwt.
he said this was because of the recent discovery of an older manuscript that contained the greek word for overseer that was unavailable when the reference bible was being compiled.
David Splane relates the reason for a change in wording
David (Overlapping(TM)) Splane will fail to admit they're just mucking about with words to fit their own money making narrative. Rather than change their system to fit the Bible, they do it the other way around. They know what they're doing, too.
Could this be The fallacy of equivocation?
Glad I'm out of the cult.

The Police are looking into the theft of toilet seats.
They have nothing to go on.
A prison van crashed into a cement mixer.
The pigs police are looking for a bunch of hardened criminals.
