  Welcome to the board shakyground.

  You questions/doubts are quite normal. We have all been there. But these doubts mustn't paralize us into inaction.

  what if it really is the truth? If its not what is? What if Armageddon comes and the last thought that goes through my head is damn....you blew it, you could've got to see dad again....

  That reminds me of a song , "I dont believe in if anymore"

  "Oh I don't believe in If anymore
  If's an illusion
  If's an illusion
  No I don't believe in If anymore
  If is for children
  If is for children
  Building daydreams"

  Many JW parents are "proud" of their children, when they start giving talks.

  Personnally, I enjoyed this aspect when I was young ( first talk at 9 years old).

  However, you will find many accounts on JWN where the person was traumatised.

  At anyrate, its a good method for indoctrination.

  One law for Adam, another for Satan.

  by jean-luc picard in

  so, adam sinned, was unplugged from whatever, and slowly wound down and died.. satan sinned too.

  so why wasnt he unplugged, and slowly wound down, to an eventual death as well?.

  it seems that, left to nature, he will never die, as eventually god is going to have to destroy him..

  Ask him to prove to you Harry Potter doesn't exist using the Harry Potter novel.

  i've been planning on going to this foreign langauge district convention for over a year and because some genius in new york planned it on july 4th weekend all the hotel prices have been jacked up making it impossible for me to attend.

  In the UK, "I'm so pissed" means you have drunk too much alcohol, so this thread sounds like you have a bit of a drinking problem and have inadvertantly drunk too much to go to the convention.

  In England they say "pissed off". But I think they understand their American cousins.

  Just re-read the thread title: I see what you mean ballistic. Hope he sobbers up for July 4th.

  So did He do the same in Japan?

  or Indonisia?

  or Chile?

  Or is He inconsistant?

  Or is the WTB$ just stupid?

  Just found out a Witness works with me-ruined my day

  by Quandry in

  i work in an elementary school as a very low paid teacher's aide.

  of course, most of the staff are teachers who are paid three times my salary and have at least a college degree, many with a master's.

  every day i have to face the fact that i followed the "godly wisdom" from the gb and didn't get higher education (except the degree equivalent from reading all the wts and awakes-i haven't gone to personnell to see how that would work out).. this morning, a fellow aide that i rarely see was coming in the door at the same time i was.

  Hello Quandry. First of all, have a good summer break.

  Mrs P does a similar job to you.

  I was just thinking: this person is probably saying the same thing a JW forum somewhere.

  God is using only one channel.

  And just in case he decides to ditch the WTB$ on day, they will be able to take him to the cleaners.
