this sunday will be my first partaking of the bread and wine at communion.

so for those of you who have experienced this already, what do i do if i drop the bread on the floor by accident?

the may 15, 1962 wt.

ExJW Meetup Report
by obiefernandez in
1. jw
2. experiences
well, i had the pleasure of spending a few hours in little five points, atlanta, arguably the most bohemian neighborhood that we have here.

always a freak-fest, so probably a good location for the meeting.

funny anecdote, i was the only one that was there at the meeting time and walked around asking people if they were here for the exjw meetup.

i have a question for everybody.

it has probably been asked before, but i'll ask it again in case anyone changed their minds.... why do/don't you believe in god/god.

what give you faith in things not beheld/makes you not believe?.

JWs: No Social Conscience
by Room 215 in
1. jw
2. friends
of all the delusions a jw labors under, perhaps none is more tragic than the one that deprives him/her of the truly satisfying reward of spontaneous help to a fellow human being in need.

this is achieved by the promulgation of the notion that the jw ``join us or die'' ministry is the single most worthwhile endeavor any human can aspire to, and supercedes any other claims on a jw's time, talents or resources.

although wts literature targeted for public consumption cleverly words any reference to charitable works to deliberately create the misimpression that jws excel in this regard, the social pressure within the organization against involvement of significant effort and time in humanitarian voluteerism is palpable.
