That is quite a disturbing moment you had there LISTLESS, and I think most of us have had similar things happen.
I think you're in such a state of shock over what's transpired, you pretend everything's ok and power thru it. . . .

the more specific the better :) here are mine:.
i predict that within the next two to three years (2017-2018) we will start seeing negative numbers in growth.. i predict that within the next thirteen to fifteen years (2027-2030) the number of jws will be less than 4million.. and i predict that by the time the first person sets foot on mars there will already have been a major split in the organization with either one of the gb or a branch overseer starting a new religion..
I predict that 10 years from now, we will be looking back at the last 5 years (2010-2015) as a major tipping point in the orgs history.
so i've mentioned this friend of my husband's who started writing to me out of the blue about three years ago, decades after we d'aed.
last august i wrote to her about the arc and jackson's summons.
i gave her the website details so she could see for herself.
XAN - Imteresting experience. Honestly, I don't think your friend is either smart or honest enough to realize what the ARC is even about. It had nothing to do with "a few bad apples." It had everything to do with the fact that the INSTITUTIONAL RESPONSE by Watchtower regarding abuse SUCKS.
Personally, I expect this return to Jehovah nonsenseto get worse. Not only is there the booklet, but also the recent broadcasting episode.
I haven't been in a KH in over a year, and all of a sudden, folks we're not even close to at the KH are asking my wife "how I am" (my wife still attends, with great displeasure. Family stuff)
1) many who were on the destructive path have been transformed by their teachings (this includes me who was once vicious, and presumptuous and atheistic).
2) equal monthly pay to all members of the bethel community regardless of whether they are bc members or sweepers.
this is something that still remains as an unattainable dream for the world.
To any and all people who think there is "more good than bad" in JWs and who are "waiting on Jehovah". . . .
I say: Go for it!

IF I WERE STILL IN:
Saturday morning at Starbucks hitting replay on a ChewyWitness.org video for four hours while I chat with "friends."
Plus time-and-a half for weekends.
It is paradise!
every chloroplast in every green leaf on planet earth is wonderfully efficient at absorbing energy from the sun.
in combination with a complex protein enzyme h2o molecules are gently eased apart and combined with co2 to produce energy and oxygen.. a synthetic version of this process would make unlimited, clean cheap energy possible but it has so-far eluded chemical engineers.
until now..... researchers at florida state university have discovered a method of using manganese oxide also known as birnessite to capture sunlight and then use that solar energy to create an oxidation reaction read more....
PHEW!
For a moment there, I thought COFTY had started a cold fusion thread!
Interesting stuff.
dear anthony morris, iii:.
i wanted to send you a note of "thanks" on this special day.. why is this day special, you may ask?
one year ago today, you, tony, woke me up to the fact that the governing body could not have jehovah's blessing or direction.. last year, on november 8th & 9th, 2014, the united states branch visit was broadcast to over 1,000,000 jehovah's witnesses across the country.. as i sat at the kingdom hall listening to the "historic occasion," i was ignoring certain doubts that had surfaced in the few months prior.
is prince still a jehovah witness?
from the look of his new album, i think he has different ideas.
it will be interesting to see how they deal with this.
a while ago someone posted a link to the flame warrior guide, it seeks to define some different types of posters.

i thought it might be fun and lighten the current mood to reveal which "warrior" is closest to your style, in your opinion.
Sometimes I wonder if I'm not a Thread Killer. . . .
I suppose we'll see . . . . ;)
