I thought they said that 15% of XJWs become atheists,
Thats interesting. I was recently musing that maybe the GB is the real
Antichrist, as most exjws are so turned off by religion that they become athiests.

He says his strength comes from God. He believes!
But has he really succeeded in his life because God has helped him.
or just because he believes? Just how powerful do you think faith is?
(and if it is God who has helped him, then the jdubs have got it all wrong) -

Special day Last talk "No formula"
by MommieTiger inthis weekend at our special assembly day, let gods will take place the final talk was a head shaker.... the bethel speaker was quite entertaining when he joked @ the shortcomings of the elders.
he also made us laugh with the comment "we were told the end of the system is right around the corner, but we've found its been more than that, we've been around the blocks a few times.
" he told the young ones to make the truth their own by researching in the wtbts publication (only).

Today's Watchtower Lesson Really Bothered Me...
by dontplaceliterature ini was a hair away from telling my wife i never wanted to go to the kingdom hall again after today's watchtower.
the conductor mentioned something along the lines of..."if you think having to shun your disfellowshipped children is bad...you should read up on the israelites.
when one of their children was disobedient to the law, they had to take the before the judges so that they could be stoned to death...and guess who's job it was throw the first stone?".

Leolaia:
"He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone" (John 8:7).
I was going to say the same thing.
Matt 7:1 “Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

"the most peaceable era in human existence"
by metatron inthe above is a phrase taken from an article written by steven pinker in the review of this weekends wall street journal.
the title is violence vanquished and presents the thought that human history has been so loaded with tribal violence in particular, that our current era is "the most peaceable era in human existence".. battle deaths and murder generally have declined substantially across centuries to the low level they generally are today.
i admit i am mystified as to why we don't see much more violence and crime at present, in this ugly economy.

Nice song. You've gone and made me all nostalgic.
Have you ever thought that maybe our old friends will get themselves free one day too?
That WILL be a great day.

Necessary business= if the believing person is in dire need, then the Dfd person has the right/obligation to help, rather than the " christian " congregation.
