Good post I found it funny how certain family members were encouraging me to come back to the meetings and they were hardly there themselves. In fact I would go out on a limb and say that its probably a very small percentage of JWs who enjoy going to all of those meetings and putting in field service hour after hours. I think the majority just go thru with it because they beleive thats the only way they will be saved.

Do Jws really enjoy being Jws?
by haujobbz ini say this because half the witnesses i knew never seemed to be into answering at meetings,preaching the good news,being united with others.you see when i got baptised which was about 2 years ago i was really into answering at meetings,preaching etc and guess what people in the hall thought there was something wrong with me,they would say things like youll get used to it, you wont be happy much longer,this made confused because i thought these people were really into what they did with there hearts.i was obviously wrong,i then started to wonder does going to meetings,preaching,etc really show your a true christian you know serving god with a whole heart,all these organised rules didnt really matter i thought,you see if these people had do bible research,arrange the preaching themselves do you think they would do it.i now believe that serving god through organisations doesnt really make you closer to god i think serving god on your own really shows ones heart condition and how much you love god.
p.s.
im not a" jw no more" and still working out religion etc, i do swear and lie now though lol

by Leander inhave you ever been somewhere in public and without any warning what so ever your underwear decides to place you in a german suplex?
i was a victim this afternoon at lunch, i was in the middle of the cafeteria and i got so tangled up that even certain hairs were intertwined.
i felt like screaming, somehow i managed to ease my way to the washroom and straighten out matters.. i'm throwing out all my briefs when i get home.

Could someone relate to me what steps you went thru in the process of starting your business?
What advice would you give to a new comer?

Missing the Target for 125 Years!
by JanH inmissing the target for 125 years .
the organization that more than 5 million jehovah's witnesses believe to be "god's channel" of communication to mankind, is strangely also the organization with a monumental record of failed predictions.
after examining dozens of watch tower society (wts) predictions we failed to find a single one that was right.

Great post Jan. This is the number 1 reason why I walked away, there is no way any sensible person can review that information and still believe that the WTS is the only true anything.
On second maybe they really are the only true false prophets

Good call on the movie Cube and I totally forgot about Fight Club, that was incredibly good. Especially the scene where Norton beats the hell out of his own body in front of the boss.
What was Lost Highway abour?

Was'nt Conan O'Brien one of the writers on that show for a while?
And it probably would'nt surprise me if Kelsey Grammer and Phil Hartman wrote for the show as well? Especially considering the fact that they did a lot of voice work for some of the characters.

lmao @ Running Man, that was seriously funny. God I love that show
There's one episode where Homer and Lisa are in a computer cafe and Snake comes in and steals their bank funds. I forget exactly how he says it but he yells out his signature "Bye" followed by "backslash losers"
