please be aware of everything that is happening around the world at this moment in time.
this goes to anyone, ex-communicated, removed, serving, believer and non.
at this point in my observations i have realized many religions/ideologies know there is some sort "end of time" or a transition into a new order of living in this earth.
Start to stock food and start to learn anything you will need to know how to survive without a proper home that has running water, heat, and appliances for food storage of cooking
Let's see. . . . so far I have enough quinoa and bottled water to last a week. . . .
I have a big, scary-looking stick to ward off anyone who thinks they might steal my quinoa.. . . .
The iPad is fully charged so I'll be able to surf the net. . .

We will have Internet in this doomsday scenario, won't we?
okay i was talking to an elder and he said me going to university was a bad idea and i should have listened to the society and not gone.
but i said that when i went to university the watchtower was saying it might not be a bad idea to go to, as long as you do it for the "right reasons", don't associate with worldly people, and keep clear of "damaging ideas".
but basically they said it was okay, in this "changing world" and job market to go to university.
So it seems the thaw lasted roughly from 1992 to 2005.
This is absolutely true. Quite a few went to school of some kind and -- not-so-shockingly -- all of the kids in "that generation" are still "in the truth."
They make a decent living, serve the Borg on weekends, and do OK for themselves.
Keep 'em happy, they don't question.
However, not only did the "thaw" not last, but with the recent AMIII JWBroadcast bashing college, the stance on college has been frozen in place harder than ever.
i am jehovah's witness, despite some of the questionable teachings, crimes, and other outlandish behaviors of specific people affiliated with the religion.
i know that my relationship with jehovah is not influenced by any outside factors.
i do not condone any crime.
Notice during the thread I never mention the doctrines penned by the governing body as my salvation. Though some of it is truly enlightening and encouraging none the less.
Could you please cite exactly what "doctrines penned by the governing body" are "truly enlightening and encouraging" to you?
I would like to look up the references so I can GROW in my LOVE for JEHOVAH.

Okay, okay. I LOVE JEHOVAH.
I'll tell you why: He's just so approachable. You can talk to him whenever you want.
In fact, I just got off the phone with him. It went something like this:
Jehovah: Hello?
Breakfast Of Champions: Hey, what's going on.
J: Who is this?
BOC: Don't you have caller ID?
J: Oh, yeah, that's right. Let's see. . . who is this. . . . Can't read it. Let me get my glasses.
BOC: Hey Jehovah, don't bother with the glasses. It's BOC.
J: Ah yes, ok. What can I do you for?
BOC: Someone started a thread on JWN called "For the Supporters of Those Who Love Jehovah" and. . . .
J: What was that?
BOC: You mean what was the titile of the thread?
J: Yeah, I was distracted a second there. . .
BOC: The thread is called "For the Supporters of Those Who Love Jehovah" and the person who started it. . . .
J: What the hell does that mean? "For the Supporters of Those Who Love Jehovah" --- Is that even grammatical?
BOC: Well, yeah, I'm not sure really what that means either. Anyway, this person wants to talk about you and how loving you are, but he isn't getting very positive responses.
J: Oooookay. . . . So he's on an apostate website and trying to get folks to chime in on how much they love me and shit like that.
BOC: Exactly.
J: Well, here's what I have to say: a) This guy shouldn't be on a goddamned apostate website in the first place. Tell him to get the fuck out of there; and b) Really Breakfast? You're wasting your time on this shit? You've got a life and real stuff to accomplish. Why are you even reading that shit?
BOC: Hey, great points. I should have thought of them myself.
J: Well, actually you. . . . well nevermind. Anyway, I'm interviewing someone in about 2 minutes and I've really got to get going.
BOC: New Governing Body member?
J: Haha, you'll see. . . Hey, take care BOC.
BOC: Ok, you too J. Later.

I have received death threats from former friends.
You gotta be shittin' me! How is that possible?
