Anyway who cares?
I don't particularly care but the WT says that the Borg cares. So why is it OK to break that rule with no consequences? Maybe it is one of those things they put in the WT to protect themselves when something goes wrong.

Puff, The probably don't all do it because they realize that if they start poking around they would lose half the younger generation. Better to keep their blinders on. I ran across a woman who I think was a JW based on a couple of her PMs to me but she posted pictures of her kid blowing out candles on a birthday cake.
Why are sites like that allowed by the jw's? I wonder if it is actually sanctioned by them?
I love how almost all the products get 5 stars. Even if they wrote a bad review they gave it 5 stars.
Any other sites owned by JWs selling stuff for JWs.
I case you are too lazy to watch the video the site is ministryideaz.com -

It took me a long time to write this...i'm staying.
by MsGrowingGirl20 init took me a long time to write this....i'm being brutally honest...i am still a reg pioneer...three sundays ago,i was praying and asking god for a sign or something because i was so confused...i told him exactly what i needed to see for me to believe.i was feeling terrible--crying and feeling sick because i was so confused.ten minutes after, i walked into the kingdom hall and to my surprise--my prayer was answered!
i soooo wasn't expecting it, even though i prayed.
so this is where almighty god wants me to be,ii've reasoned.

Did we ever find out how the prayer was answered?
Bubblegum Apotheosis' other post made me think of you:

That's pretty funny.
Makes me wonder why elders don't troll peoples facebook page for wrongdoing. Or at least why people don't get turned in by their peers by the stuff they have there.
I remember people selling stuff like that when I was young well before the internet and is that company that sells the COs used cars still areound?
I sent away to them for a no blood keychain once and still get pamplets in the mail although I haven't in quite a while.
Yup I just found it online

Has anybody heard about the Hebrew word "Hovah"?
by brotherunsure ini just tried to paste the link from a concordance but i guess it doesn't work on here but if you look up the hebrew word "hovah" it means ruin and disaster... given that, do you think jehovah is an appropriate thing to be calling the lord god?.

Jehovah's Witness doesn't vote, so she can't get liquor license
by Black Sheep injehovah's witness doesn't vote, so she can't get liquor license.
veronica brown, who is applying for a liquor license, said she was stunned to learn about the requirement.
but she said that voting is adverse to her beliefs as a jehovah's witness and that registering to vote and then not voting would be hypocritical.. http://www.omaha.com/article/20120613/news01/706139915/-1.

Try meditation\Self hypnosis, it helped me and there are tons of videos on youtube these days. Some are better than others try a few till you find a couple that work. And if they stop working find some new ones. And don't expect your first few times to be successful.
If you are still scared of hypnosis from being a jw learn about it a bit more because it is nothing like what the Watchtower describes.
Read "a practical guide to self-hypnosis" by melvin powers. It is free on Amazon and Itunes and demystifies hypnosis. No, the demons won't attack you if you hypnotize yourself in fact you go into a hypnotic trance on a regular basis without even knowing it.I felt the same way for a long time What I needed to figure out was how to put me first because everyone is out for themselves. If they are doing something nice for you they are getting something out of it. Even if that something is just feeling good about themselves for helping someone.* I don't mean that in a cynical way it is just human nature. It is up to you to figure out what you need and get it and stop thinking you have to please other people. The jdubs have it hammered into their heads all the time that they have to please Jehovah by acting a certain way and that is hard habit to break when you are in the real world. It is very hard to get in the habit of doing what is best for you. But once you do you won't care about the so called leaders because you will know what is best for you and you will do that.
There are a number of Tony Robin's videos on youtube and I find his idea to associate your good emotions with things you want and associate bad emotions with things you want to stop doing very interesting. Listen to the Awaken The Giant Within video. He has some good advice on how to stop the mental chatter.
Why am I sharing this with you? Because it makes me feel good to help someone else overcome the same problems I had and hopefully do it more quickly than I did.*Parents with their children might be the exception to this rule. I have no kids of my own but I have had people make a convincing argument for it.
