  Thank Jehovah for Ipads!

  by stuckinarut2 in

  2. friends

  seriously, i am so thankful that the org has officially allowed the use of ipads and tablets at the kingdom hall!.

  it is the only thing that keeps me sane while sitting there....being able to log on to this site while pretending to follow along with the program!.

  i think i would have literally lost my mind without this lifeline!.

  Zoned Visit: Who's Calling Who Bloodguilty?

  by breakfast of champions in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so at the zoned visit, tough tony remarked how inactive ones had "blood on their hands" for not warning the unsuspecting inhabitants of earth of their impending doom at armageddon.

  could it be true that the society is at least equally bloodguilty for the same offense?.

  if there was one way watchtower could warn the entire inhabited earth of their sudden destruction all at once, it would certainly be on the internet.. and the perfect opportunity to warn the entire inhabited earth of the impending destruction would be to answer a "frequently answered question" in an honest and forthright manner.

  And the perfect opportunity to warn the entire inhabited earth of the impending destruction would be to answer a "frequently answered question" in an honest and forthright manner. The question is:

  "Do Jehovah’s Witnesses Feel That They Are the Only People Who Will Be Saved?"

  The answer, according to jw.org is:

  "No."

  Really? "No"?

  You can read the rest of their answer here at http://www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses/faq/who-saved/

  So you have the absolute perfect opportunity to warn the entire friggin world that they are about to perish unless they become a JW -- and your answer is "no."

  We know they're capable of being "honest" and "forthright". . . . . Hell, our witness friends and family are extolling Tony as a "straight shooter". . . . . at least when it comes to the tightness of your pants.

  Yes pants. . . . we're gonna be honest about pants. But 99.9% of humankind dying at Armageddon. . . . . well. .. . . .

  So, who is really bloodguilty here?

  Changing Careers: The difficult path to starting over.

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i became employed with my current company after high school in 1995. i'm a manager and make decent income for the area i live ($65k).

  it provides for the basic and some extra.

  i have a wife and a daughter.

  Yes.

  After working almost twenty years at my job, I left.

  At the time I had full medical benefits, full tuition assistance, a 401k with an 80% employer match, and was making between $75-$80k a year. Not bad for a HS education.

  When I left, I had already started college PT because I knew I didn't want to this for the rest of my life.

  The game changer was 1) a modest "incentive" from the company to leave and 2) my professor (one of the top in the field in the world) said it would be a shame to let my mind go to waste. She said, "You owe it to yourself to do this with your life."

  So I guess my recommendation would be: if you haven't started classes, start. See how you like it before you do anything drastic, and then go from there.

  For me, the signs that it was time to "move on" could not have been clearer. It was almost a non-decision.

  SEINFELD - no clear theme, characters whining about inane stuff

  ZONE VISIT MEETING - no clear theme, characters whining about inane stuff

  Yes, quite similar!

  How about being interviewed by Howard Stern?

  This would be awesome.

  I'm sure Billy West could do a dead-on Tony Morris impression.

  "Jehovah's spirit is being blocked in the congregation"

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so, how many times have we heard this expression (or a variation of it):.

  "jehovah's spirit seems to be blocked here in the congregation...perhaps he is bringing something to light...etc".

  it seems that the org often uses this expression, and links it with the "fact" that god wont bless a cong as much,(or at all) if there is "stuff" or "sins" being carried out.. so, why is it then that the cong i am in is experiencing its best years of activity in all aspects?

  Some Metamucil should clear that blockage.

  No mention of 100 years of kingdom rule at zone meeting

  by kneehighmiah in

  2. friends

  i expected the streaming of such a large meeting to focus on 100 years of kingdom rule.

  not a single mention.

  instead more drivel about insignificant things like yoga pants.

  I'll tell you, 101, 107, 113, 120 years does not have the same "ring" as "a century of kingdom rule."

  My Breaking Point -- 11/9/14

  by game1914over in

  2. friends

  i have enjoyed reading your comments during the past four years.

  deep down inside, i have always been agnostic.

  the first few chapters in genesis are contradictory and differing.. no one has ever been able to answer my question: "why was satan ever created?".
