talking about an article that makes you want to throw-up in your mouth- wt-study jan 15, 2015 the offered themselves willingly.. amazing the psych job of selling your business, moving your entire family, quiting your job to be a "temporary" worker at the new world headquarters!.

throw your livelyhood away only to get the "feeling" that jehovahs is blessing you!

i wish there was away to track the psych job during patterson and other major projects of what happened to all the "friends" that sold and got rid of their livelyhood then and where are they now.. did you ever sacrifce it all for a building project only to be left with nothing after your "spiritual high"?.

What a waste of time those years were in my life.

Do not waste your time, energy effort and most importantly......YOUR YOUTH......on a corporation you are forbidden to read negative material on.

You know your 'alarm bells' are ringing about the organisation, getting knee deep in its activities to distract yourself from your doubt will only delay your focus. When your attention returns on the inevitible contradictions and concerns, your youth will be gone and the possibility of painful regret will keep you willingly blind. There the vicious circle begins, next you marry a JW and have kids, now you are really stuck and the doubts have multiplied too.

Beware the trap.......

Do yourself a favour and take a weekend off from carrying bricks and do some research.

So impressed with her. I wrote to the charity comission in 2012 about these issues and they were not interested. They have been forced to consider the issue now and sounds like they are shocked at what is going on with tax exempted funding.

University Application Personal Statement dilemma - Should I mention my jw past?

i am applying to chemical engineering course in the uk through ucas (a lot of things changed since i've posted last time).. i have a lot of skills i developed while regular pioneering, like public speaking skills, ability to reason (even if it's bs), presentational skills etc.. i feel it would boost my personal statement a lot, but i'm also afraid they would say "this guy beleives in god, and loves science, he must be creationist.

away with him".. how could i mention that i gave interviews front of thousands of people and did voluntary work in my hometown without giving a bad impression?.

i don't want to go into details and start explaining myself that "however i don't beleive in god", or something like that.

the biblical archeological review journal is running a caption contest.

you have to submit your idea of a snappy caption for this image:.

it's based on proverbs 26:3 which says (in case you no longer own a bible-grin):.

Doctors and surgeons say no to blood transfusions

by Mr Negative in

my mum recently told me that even surgeons won't have blood transfusions, but the common people don't get told this.

i have also seen or heard others say that a bunch of doctors/health officials/surgeons were asked, at some point, if they would accept a blood transfusion and they all said no.

is this true?

That it matters that I exist.

Some people believe in god in order to tick this box, instantly your life matters. Some work to make their life mean something to them and others. There is no right or wrong answer, but for me I feel fulfilled that it matters if I am alive or not every day. One day I won't exist anymore, I am ok with that, because I am working hard to make sure it mattered that I once did.

Who's the King of the North & South now?

by prophecor in

back in the old days i used to hear talk about these kings.

are they still teaching anything about these kings in daniel as it pertains to the " time of the end?".

King of the north = whoever is currently on the news attacking the west....

Which makes no sense in a biblical context, and only makes sense to a religion formed in the west.

I have no doubt in my mind at all, that WT will claim that radical islam is the King of The North.
