recently susie, one of my co-workers mentioned that her husband's family were all jws.
the family converted after susie's husband left home, so he never joined the jws, nor does he intend to.
anyway another co-worker asked her: "what do the jws believe?".
No one at work ... No one in a Kingdom Hall either.
What people have said always begins with a negative:
No holidays
No flag salute
No blood
No military service
No charity
"No" this or "no" that. The religious sect of the "no". Other than that people don't know or tend to care.
the degradation of the governing body members continues on.
mark sanderson gives a talk regarding his visit to belgium for the memorial this year and was travelling from korea to munich to brussels, belgium on the day of the belgium terrorist attacks.he cannot wipe the smirk on his face as he relates his experience, with no regard whatsoever of all those unfortunately affected by the attacks.
in fact, he personally found god's hand affecting him personally, allowing him to attend the memorial as planned and a kh dedication.he is that privileged during his flight travels that internet was available to him, enabling him to catch up on current news and to contact branch's.
If he was any type of real Christian, he would have had himself driven to the site for victim's relatives and "comforted" them .... but, no.
the james webb telescope is set to launch in october of 2018 and will allow us to study the formation of first generation stars, the molecular clouds that became the first galaxies, and directly image exoplanets.
roughly one hundred times more powerful than the hubble space telescope the jwst is going to push back the current boundaries of science.. this is what 100-million man hours can accomplish.. .

Is the control observatory going to be the same as Hubble? I only ask that because one can get some great photos there. (That you can't get anywhere else).
please post your favorites too.
my favorite quotations:.
you cannot change what you refuse to confront.. sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.. don’t think of cost.
Only a dead fish floats with the current.
May the curse of thousand gnats infest your armpits. 😆

i was asked to view the video “dear believer, why do you believe?” i said i would and i would publish my comments about it.
so here are my comments.
after my post, i hope other believers will post theirs comments about it.
Your summary has nothing to do with what's said in the OP. It's your fabricated opinion. How JW of you.
Also, Believer is new here. WTF do you think you're doing behaving in such a matter to a new exjw site member?
You think you're smart, maybe coy?
You want Believer to return to JW.org???!!?? Worse welcome I've read on this site in over a decade,
PATHETIC
i’ve been reading it for a few of years off and on, but have been a little too ... maybe ... timid to join.
i left the watchtower organization almost 20 years ago but never abandoned my faith and belief in god.
i knew the gb/organization didn’t represent god, so when i lost my faith in them, i managed to keep my faith in an all wise benevolent creator.
Wow ... y'all certainly do have a way of welcoming new arrivals. Glad this wasn't my introduction post after lurking and leaving the WT org.
This really blows chunks for a "welcome".

How odd, I didn't read that anywhere in the OP.
You were on the writing committee weren't ya DJS? Yeah you were. You're the guy inserting scriptures that had nothing to do with the content at the end of paragraphs. C'mon admit it.
Maybe there's some Friday happy hour stuff going on.

LostGeneration, IMO the only way to stop it is to install dictators everywhere. Of course, then freedoms get tossed and it doesn't really stop, it just moves underground. Stays underground until someone bumps off the dictator and ushers in a more open form of government,

LostGeneration, it can't be stopped. That's what freedom is all about. Free to believe or not believe in something. The problem is psychos and those who teach hatred. The large majority may believe similar things but only a minority run around blowing people up. They are called fanatics for a reason. They've been around since forever.
Without religion they'd find a reason to go kill.

Well, for someone who doesn't have much to say on the subject, you sure do talk a lot, DJS.
And why should you care what Believer thinks? It's all make believe nonsense, right?
Waiting for an explanation from me or something? Well, thanks for your concern that you "missed me at the meeting" brother, but I don't owe you any explanation why I wasn't there. Keep wondering.
